Forum Issues / Wikipedia

Hi there, friends! I have tried to upgrade our forum today, but somehow there’s a glitch and some of the info doesn’t show… I haven’t yet managed to fix it yet, so please bear with me! I just have to go to bed now, because it’s already 2AM here. EDIT: That problem has already been resolved, and our forum is working again, with a slight design change.

And secondly, someone’s trying to delete the Wikipedia Page about Chicken Wings. If there’s any active Wikipedia Editors out there, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help/patience and good night!

Meeting with Gary Clark of “The Swamp”

by mikePosted on January 25, 2012 Posted in Birds Eye View — 2 Comments ↓

As I mentioned yesterday, I got to meet Gary Clark from “Swamp” last month.

We originally found him because one of his characters, “Ding Duck” is an eternal flight student who is just not very good at flying. But just like Chuck, he is a very positive bird who never gives up. Through google and searching for other aviation cartoons we came across “Swamp” many years ago and loved Gary’s work right away.

Years later, we were able to work with him briefly when we were collaborating while putting together the Martin Leeuwis books of aviation comic collections from all over the world. While meeting with Gary in Brisbane, I found out that “Ding Duck” now has his own book. It’s a huge collection of all kinds of flight school, duck flying, and military duck cartoons and it is funny!
It was great to see how other cartoon artists work and what their inspirations are.
Check out Gary’s website. I promise you, youll be hooked!

Ding Duck book now available in our shop

The best thing for all the Swamp fans out there in the States: We now have the “Ding Duck” book in our shop! As far as we know, we are the only ones to carry it in the US, so if you always wanted to have it, but didn’t want to pay the shipping from Australia, here’s your chance!

ONLINE SHOPPERS REJOICE!

We have a new online shopping system!

As computer half-literates, running our own online shops has always been a challenge for us in the past. But we’ve lived and learned (a lot!) and have decided that it was about time we reacted to all the feedback we received from you over the years. We really wanted to improve the shopping experience for you and make it easier for you to give us money in return for our “fowl” jokes. For this, we have focused on two major things: Simplicity and security.

We’ve thrown out tons of extra features and simplified the checkout process to a couple of easy steps. You will not have to sign up for anything or create an account! You will not have to be a paypal-user! You will no longer have to put in your shipping and billing info numerous times! All you’re gonna have to do is enter the data once, and every transmission of the data will be through Paypal’s secure connection. We have also added more items to our stores again.

To celebrate the launch, and to get all of you to do your Christmas shopping early, we offer a
