Also, when the time comes to change the title, might I suggest:
“Duck Off”

I've loved it since Aaron's first visit on <i>ToonTalk</i> about a year or so ago. Fun art and sharp-to-the-point writing. Hope he can keep the name, though.WTD has the look of a very, very, marketable and merchandisable strip. I smell cashcow...

I have WTD bookmarked and checked in every single day. WTD is witty, and attractively drawn. I guess this is proof just how hard it is to get syndicated. 2009? Good grief......to me WTD is already a successful strip.. It’s about darn time!!

"What the Duck" certainly could make it in papers, although I know that he'll have to change the title. No paper would buy a strip that rhymes with what this one does, and actually in my opinion that might also be what turned away some of the syndicates. Nonetheless, I thought Mr. Johnson's Syndicate Bingo was fun to follow back when he was still submitting, and I see that the reworked version that they suggested turned out just as well as the original version. Syndicate Bingo was especially cool because it was an inside look at the process of submitting to the syndicates, and it usually isn't until one does that that you learn what it's like. Syndicate Bingo, not to mention Scott Nickel's equally entertaining rip-off, Syndicate Roulette, were fun to read and valuable to aspiring cartoonists. Thanks to both of you, and no offense to you, Scott. Too bad WTD doesn't launch until 2009, though...since a comic like this has been on the internet for so long, you forget that what the cartoonist has received is in fact a development contract to launch the strip a few years later, after a development stage -- not to jump straight into newspapers.

I know nothing about photography (professional or otherwise) but I found the samples on his website funny and accessible nonetheless. Good luck to him.

There's a lesson here somewhere. Good luck to Aaron. Curious what the new title will be. Amazing that this all happened because of an experiment. There’s a lesson here somewhere.
