<title>Prologue #2: Tears Of An Old Man (Pg 2)</title>
<description><![CDATA[PC= Pre-Cataclysm, AC = After-Cataclysm
If you can't get your head around the oddity of the way years are numbered in this comic, don't worry too much about it. Even the Gregorian Calendar's BC/AD stuff isn't too natural.

BTW, if you have a feeling this frame is a copout... you'd be right. Sometimes, all you need to make a city is a ton of cubes in the right shapes and sizes. Lemme explain...

I'm coming out of my midterm school holidays as I type this. Unfortunately, I'm not efficient at putting out pages for the comic yet, even if it's just one frame a week and most of it is typed stuff.

To make matters worse, I've found out that my knowledge on certain things in uni isn't totally up to snuff. I'll need to put more time to catch up, because terrible things will happen if I don 't.

I'll try to update once a week as always, but don't blame me if filler pops in more often than I planned... Anyway, enjoy this comic. It's in a day earlier than I planned because I couldn't think of a better way to convey a sense of wistful hopelessness.

As always, read and comment please!]]></description>

<title>Prologue #1: Tears of An Old Man</title>
<description><![CDATA[Hey all, and welcome to the very first frame of a potentially very long-winded, immature (in the wrong way) and off-kilter little story on Drunk-Duck.

At this point, I'd like to thank the following people and tool companies for helping me get up to speed and producing this comic:

Perthcomics Livejournal
Rachel Ping Mui Yee (Keeping a journal by your bedside - best suggestion EVAH)
Adobe 
Corel 
E-Frontier 
Newtek
Blambot (at least four fonts - and as soon as I can afford, a Pro font.)
EDU - Communications & Creative Industries Faculty (Actual formalised digital art training)

That was a short list, but by no means exhaustive. If you feel I've left you out despite meriting a shout, I do apologise. SQL TEXT fields have their limits and I do hate to squander... WTF am I doing?

Anyways, I need to clarify something: this comic is going to be a bit of a hodgepodge. I am going to concentrate on telling a story, not wringing maximum effect out of every single little pixel. I may pick up a brush, I may fire up a DCC program, I may sacrifice a plate of linguini to the Flying Fettucine Monster (a false god - see Flying Sphagetti Monster).

Don't come in just because you like one particular frame or another. Come in because the story seems to be growing in interesting ways...

Righto. Rant over, chaps. Rater. Erm, later, I mean.

P.S. Yes, that is a nuclear explosion. No, the Cataclysm is far worse than your worst Nuke Winter Nightmares. How much worse? Stay tuned...]]></description>
