Hey, all you necrofowliacs! Welcome to the next installment of this “Dead Duck” episode, “AIN’T NO CURE FOR A SUMMERTIME BRUISE!” Here’s your trivia fix:
- I love puns, I love word play. Hence, Dead Duck’s putting stake in a steak as a stake (did y’see what I just did there? Somebody stop me)!
- Even though Dead Duck had a look of malice in his face in the top panel, the worst his temper could muster was intending to stain Drac’s shirt. I love that about Dead Duck. I want to be that kind of person, where at my worst, I’m still a pretty nice guy.
- In retrospect, I wish I’d done more with the backgrounds for this story. I went with color gradations to convey a creepy mood. But there’s so much more I could have done with a rustic camp mess hall.
See you on the next page!

Yes! The nice guy shall inherit the earth! Ducky gives me hope for myself, and all the other nice guys out there.
I think if there’s anything that can be taken away from this story, hope for the nice is a good as it gets!
You are a great wordsmith!!!!!! Love it!!!
As I wrote that scene, I actually thought to myself, “Would my old English teachers be proud of me for referencing homophones?” It appears they would be! Thanks, Mr. Bird!
Yes, indeed!! Always have been…always will be!!!!
Sweet! I was waiting and hoping for DD to get back at that little monster. Revenge, a dish best server medium-well and seasoned with garlic.
Ha! Yes, Dead Duck exacts his best revenge when he’s not exactly trying to!
As I was reading today’s episode, “The Knife” from North by Northwest came on my Windows Media Player, so I took a couple of minutes to reread it. It was an interesting experience.
