Summary: Otto is a pretty fantastic engineer, he's the best of the best; highly paid at his company, a very innovative thinker, generous, and humble. Set in 1985, this version of reality is a little different from what we know today… in the distant past a mighty robot being crashed …
Content: There's no question in my opinion as to whether representation of different kinds of people in fiction matters. Having spent my childhood poring over superhero comics in which the girl's job is usually to turn invisible and press a button or something, I remember …
After the long and arduous journey of seeking voting nominations for the annual Drunk Duck Awards, the official list of finalists has been released just in time for the judges to deliberate over the final outcome of the awards. This is also a reminder for everyone …
Apparently the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is coming out right about now. While the explosion-filled trailer I saw for it (before the equally explodey Transformers 4) made up my mind that I won't be seeing this particular movie, comics have been the inspiration for some great films.
This fantastically cute comic is about natural survival, making friends with food, and the importance of having to feed a family.
Not enough food in the pantry? That is the dilemma that Mother Dinnersaurus is faced with when breakfast for dinner is no longer satisfactory for her growing children. She …
Content: For this DD webcomics podcast, Quackcast 178, we talk about THEMES. And no, we're not talking about those fine musical tracks that Gunwallace has been making for our comics. Theme is what's happening below the surface plot of a story. Plot is the events …
Many thanks to everyone who has submitted votes for their favorite comics over the last six weeks. Also, to all the volunteers, thank so much for stepping up to challenge to be a judge or presenter this year. The response from last week was very admirable and we will need …
Are you up for having people poke fun at your comic? Genejoke is looking for volunteers for Lite Bites to review!
From Genejoke: "For a little while the lite bites reviews have been ninja reviews, attacking unsuspecting creators with our unique (well unusual) review style. Now we are looking for …
Summary: In this comical retelling of "the Fall of Man" god is a bit of a bastard… well, we already knew that pretty much but not in quite such an entertaining fashion as this! Most of us know the story already so that adds spice to the retelling in this …
Content: Guess who we had on THIS week? It was Amelius and Evil Emperor Nick! The husband and wife powerhouse behind some very popular comics on DD including Charby The Vampirate and Cwen's Quest. We haven't had them on since Quackcast 10 and 11 which …

After some drama with the website the other day (I'm sure most of you noticed that the site was down for a time) and some cleverness on the part of ozoneocean, I'm writing my first newspost with DD officially under community control.
The Duck webcomics community site is finally moving to full community control. This has been a very long time in coming and has involved a lot of planning and negotiation.
What will this mean? Well, now the community is able to contribute to the betterment of the …
Content: For our FINAL part of our discussion of story endings we talk about yet MORE ending tropes, methods and styles. In a fit of towering arrogance and indefensible pomposity we even trash the mighty Shakespeare for his ending of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet! …
