Here is a little treat to celebrate the first week of Autumn. I wrote this version of "The Webcomic Artist Manifesto" in the Fall quarter for an art history class on Dada. A Manifesto is a public declaration used to incite or inspire a group. …
So, I tend to be long-winded. The mark of a historian, probably, or I maybe I just love to hear myself talk. But rarely does that become so evident to me as when I’m turning my comic script into actual comic pages. Suddenly what seemed like a brief remark is …

Drunkduck's beloved HippieVan was influenced by last week's Quackcast on Evoking emotion to come up with a newspost about NOT invoking emotion when you don't mean to: keeping things funny, even IF heavy stuff happens to be going on, which can be tricky. I thought that …
