I am an artist... I like hats. Administrator on Drunk Duck web comic hosting community. And I do the Quackcast (webcomic podcast).

We're talking about the pop-culture myth of psychopaths and sociopaths and other stuff like serial killers. Those conditions do exist, but the pop-culture versions we know are mostly myths... https://t.co/pa9wNKy2rG

With the release of the new Indiana Jones film comes some questions… We haven't seen it yet but we hear a lot of people don't like it and it's already being called a flop. But is that because it's actually bad or because people want it to be bad? https://t.co/kjOhsiTcDd

Gatekeeping can be a pretty dickish practice…
Generally we see it as a social pop culture trend where older established fans of something will try and put down new people and discourage them from joining a fandom. This can stifle a fan community. https://t.co/PAwr2JV2pj

Injuries, especially to the head can be extremely bad but people are hit over the bonce and knocked out in popculture all the time. In violent sports like boxing or MMA it's often a goal, it's a common thing in games too, https://t.co/ZX0NjZm1g9

We base our images of aliens in comics on aliens in TV shows and movies mostly, because those are the ones we all know.
But movie aliens have been generally based on humans because it's less expensive and it's also easier to make those aliens relatable... https://t.co/hMKKCjccxm

Today's topic is Nudity: Nudity in comics, censorship, self censoring, what you can get away with on DD, ratings, nudity on other platforms and how it affects the reach of your work, and more! https://t.co/75k798Q8EB

Beginners at webcomics make mistakes, rookie mistakes. In fact people tend to make a lot of the same mistakes and we're going to chat about some of those in the Quackcast, but there are certainly a LOT more! https://t.co/OPJyLCBQzf

Rumours can be damaging stories deliberately spread to harm people, they can grow organically of their own accord. Salacious rumours replace truth and stick around in history... https://t.co/AxVS6elADM

We're talking about swearing! Swearing in comics, types of swearing, the use of swearing, causing offense, taking offense, swearing used as a term of endearment, and some history behind various types of swearing. https://t.co/QVUbQ8VxjQ

[Ozoneocean @Ozoneocean]

We're talking about WAR here! Trying to leave out politics, though that's really hard with war because it's basically ALL politics but on fire. So we're talking mainly about depictions of it or at least aspects of it, in art and the media. https://t.co/iZks8aVLY1

Generational tensions are a cultural constant. It's popular to pick on the young and say they're lazy, irresponsible, stupid etc, but it's also just as popular too defend them and debunk the myths. We don't have that with older people https://t.co/XGuiuN7cmi

Fantasy and conspiracy documentaries on Netflix based on weird fringe opinions are popular at the moment it seems… hidden advanced ancient civilisations, mountains of gold and now this… https://t.co/J9oiORjMFd

[Ozoneocean @Ozoneocean]

We finally gave in to temptation and just started chatting about Star Wars. For our Patreon video we were talking about the idea of pivotal pop-cultural landmarks that changed the cultural landscape in various ways. Star Wars definitely qualifies… https://t.co/nF78FSlboj

Why are entitlements important? At a societal level the community should all expect basic rights, if those break down or are removed this can have a shocking, drastic effect- as in Maus, A Handmaid's Tale, or Persepolis. https://t.co/Te9l8dePZ2

[Ozoneocean @Ozoneocean]

We talk about entitled bossy Karens. Why a Quackcast on overly entitled people? Those kinds of people make great minor villain characters. They can be comic relief but they can also be deceptively dangerous when they CAN back up their arrogance! https://t.co/NHzWYjm3qg

Have you ever watched a series devotedly then lost touch with it for some reason for a while and then gone back to it a couple of years later and tried to get into again but this time you look at it with a very different perspective? https://t.co/fkQpWVCniT

[Ozoneocean @Ozoneocean]

We're talking about the importance of a good cover. Another technical comicscast! I love making coves, they're one of my fave things because I get to stretch my artistic muscles and get a little more flashy and creative with my art and graphic design. https://t.co/ykhHxAHSSy

[Ozoneocean @Ozoneocean]

How do you maintain character consistency? The industry standard is to create a “bible”… basically you put all your character info in there. All the descriptions and traits and also sketches of them from all different angles... https://t.co/gSpqugl1CV

[Ozoneocean @Ozoneocean]

Today we talk about an unusual type of villain: the person who maliciously does nothing. The simplest way to characterise this villain type is that person in the elevator, waiting and looking out at you while you're running for it. They don't do anything, https://t.co/MbP5H4TW4A

Character design is a fun process but not without its challenges. Do you design the character or their story first? I've followed both of those approaches, they have pluses and minuses. https://t.co/YHfz3Es3Li
