Drunk Duck update

Thursday’s featured comic is Better Luck Next Time!
Meet Teddy Atwater, a kid who only did enough to scrape by… until a sports injury meant he couldn’t even manage that. Now he has to repeat the sixth grade, which is no easy task when you have the friends that Teddy has. Although the art style is simple, it’s appealing, the characters are really distinct and enjoyable, and there is lots of background and supporting information for those who like a little more meat to their comics.

DD weekly rundown

Monday’s featured comic is Lucky Dawg!

If you have crazy freaks as the villains of your city, then maybe you should use crazy freaks to try and stop them. Lucky Dawg is one such man… thing. Actually… he’s a werewolf. The pro-level art is wild and colorful, much like the characters. There’s just something really satisfying about reading a comic about a happy wereworlf, no matter how crazy and violent he is.

The Weekly News of Drunk Duck

Saturday is milestone day!

Today we have several comics reaching 50 pages- congrats to you guys!

Off Hours, a DD community project, is one of those reaching 50 pages- and is only 11 pages away from chapter 1’s conclusion! Everyone participating in this project has done a great job, it’s a feat of organization and dedication!

National Dex (an adorable hand-drawn pokemon comic) by lucky7s76 is also turning 50! 50 pages is a lot of work, so be proud of yourself :)

Rori’s Because of Ivan also hits 50, and she has this to add: Rori wrote:

It’s a sketchy diary comic, which I ask that people not comment on (so everyone feels like their reading it first, weird, I know), but I still feel really proud that I’ve stuck with it. I dunno, it’s like getting to read my diary without breaking into my house. Good thing, right? ;)

I dunno, if you like breaking into houses, it could be a bad thing…

And at a whopping 350 we have I Fell Down the Stairs, I think 350 is a number that many of us can only hope to achieve. :) (Also, ifelldownthestairs says that nominated for a DD award was awesome! I will add that it is nominated for “Most deliciously offensive comic” which I’m pretty sure is a good advertising point. :)

Drunk Duck Award finalists announced!

The finalists for the Drunk Duck award have been revealed! You can find out about them in their forum thread, it’s quite a list! Stay tuned to find out the winners…

Amanda is also looking for panelists and judges! It’s a fun way to be involved even if your comic isn’t up for any awards (and even if it is!) Get more information here!

Thursday’s featured comic is Luna’s Journey!
Luna is a wolf, sort of. She comes from a pack that, in legend, is descended from a pair of humans turned to wolves. When she finds a human lost in the snow she decides to help him, curious about these beings she’s supposedly related to. He in turn suspects that she is no ordinary wolf. She wants so much to find out about him and communicate with him that something interesting happens… The lovely art has a manga influence, and the story is proving to be quirky and a little bit magical.

Remember Surfboards and Rayguns? Remember the Comic Book Challenge? Let’s hope so because Surfboards and Rayguns is now in the Comic Book Challenge’s Top Ten! The Top Ten are now open to voting and there are video pitches of the creators, including Bradleyo!

Personally I’m quite proud that we’ve had Drunk Duck people in the Top 10 all 3 years of the CBC so far. :)

inhuman has reached 25 pages! Congrats!

Did you know that Doctor Shadow’s The Chronicles of Wyrden is 75 pages old? Well now you do, and you have no excuse!

Good Guy (by Androoo) has reached 125 pages! He tells me he’s in the middle of his first multi-issue story arc too. Keep it up!
