Adventure Time: Season 6 begins
Here is a sketch comic I made called Ducks, in five parts.
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Ducks is about part of my time working at a mining site in Fort McMurray, the events are from 2008. It is a complicated place, it is not the same for all, and these are only my own experiences there. It is a sketch because I want to test how I would tell these stories, and how I feel about sharing them. A larger work gets talked about from time to time. It is not a place I could describe in one or two stories. Ducks is about a lot of things, and among these, it is about environmental destruction in an environment that includes humans. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Written and Illustrated by Erika Greco Colours by Amy T. Falcone
Last year was an incredibly difficult year. I’m the type of person that huddles up and shuts down when dealing with tough times and so I immersed myself in comics and music while trying to find answers. The books that resonated with me the most were Marbles, Anything That Loves, and basically everything Erika Moen has ever written. I listened exclusively to what I call, “Comfort Food Music”. Music that I’ve loved since I was a kid, but suddenly I rediscovered and found new meaning in the Ani Difranco songs I’d been listening to for 13 years.
When it finally came time to figure out how to tell to the people I love about what I was going through, a comic seemed like the only way I could do it. I could be honest and open without having the stress of talking to people face to face. It gave me a much needed creative outlet, something positive to pour all of my emotions into when nothing else could hold my interest. I put more of me into this project than anything I have ever created.
Sharing this story, publicly, was at the top of my list of New Years Resolutions. After the work of others gave me a new perspective, a sense of understanding, and belonging, I just wanted to be able to give something back. I hope that someone else who is lost will find this comic and that it helps them move one step closer to finding out who they are. You’re not alone.
I am lucky. I am lucky to have the support of my family. I am fortunate to have a fantastic group of friends that I can truly say I love like brothers and sisters. Without their continued love and support, I would never have been brave enough to share this with all of you.
It’s never too late to be honest with yourself.

Special Thanks to Amy T. Falcone for being my rock along the way, pushing me to finish this comic every time I wanted to quit, and for 5am breakfast at The 5 Point Cafe.
Music played such a large role in the creation of these pages so I included a soundtrack.
(Inspired by the way Chynna Clugston scored her Blue Monday comics.)

I tried to find this on the artist's tumblr to reblog, but it wasn't available or something. So as not to steal from this artist but still share, please visit their deviant art listed in the image if you want to check out other stuff by them. Here's a link - http://kleekay423.deviantart.com/
stuff
1. Cats or dogs?
cats
2. What character can you not stop thinking about? What’s the fandom?
Actually I was thinking about a character from the Song of Recluce series the other day, Lerris. And his uncle. Though not in that way. Just very interesting characters in how they developed.
3. What song has been stuck in your head most recently?
Do I Wanna Know? by the Arctic Monkeys.
4. Do you have any pets? What kind?
Technically no, though I enjoy other people's.
5. If you could be a part of any fandom universe, what would it be?
If I could choose any fantasy universe I'd probably go with the Wheel of Time or the One Piece universe.
6. Who would you most want to meet from history?
Let's just spin the wheel and let the universe decide, with the only caveat being "the most intelligent being and I can communicate with them"
7. Who would you most want to meet from fiction?
Matrim Cauthon.
8. What was the last book you read?
Sea of Monsters, from Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
9. What’s the most scandalous thing you’ve ever done in public?
What are we defining as...public? It would involve wearing a halloween costume. That's about all I'll say on that one.
10. Can you drive stick?
Yes, but poorly
11. What’s is your first memory?
A memory from the house I first grew up in, specifically my bedroom.
To those who read this, cool. I can't tag 11 people, so again I guess I did this just for fun or something. And now I should go be productive or something.
Hey! Answer this with 5 facts about yourself and pass it on to 10 of your followers!
If I had 10 followers to pass it on to I would certainly do as such. But since I don't, and am a nice person (fact #1?) I'll answer this without taking the built in excuse.Actual Fact #1 - I just became a paid musician(by a bar) playing music that I wrote the lyrics for and bass lines I played.
Fact #2 - My favorite game of all time is Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Fact #3 - I am not a huge fan of eggs and avocados. Those are once in a while foods, not all the time foods.
Fact #4 - I should probably be studying right now instead of doing stuff on tumblr. But who doesn't that apply to?
Actual Fact #4 - I write poetry across multiple tiny notebooks scattered about my room whenever a good line pops up into my head. I've spent hours staying up late just because of a couple of wanton thoughts.
Finally, Fact #5 - I have an odd relationship with physical contact; unless you're one of a select few, if you touch me in any way I just get weirded out and kind of stiffen up.
Reblog if you actually give a shit about anyone who's suicidal or depressed.
So I forgot to take a photo of the actual breadmaking process, seeing as I started my poolish last night. Haven't baked bread in a while, going for it again though - and I will get better at shaping my loaves. The crumb was perfect though, definitely will never not make it w/o the poolish again. Might try a biga next time. Anywho, next week on baking with Tumbhimlin it'll either be cinnamon rolls, or a cake. We'll see (probably cinnamon rolls cause omfg cinnamon rolls).
your life.
What a really great picture.

Baking Bread (also working in a bakery)
The first thing to know about bread is that it’s always going to be slightly different depending on the weather.The second thing you should know is that bread dough is hearty. Don’t be shy with it. The only time you want to be gentle with bread is when it’s been shaped and gone through the final rise and you’re about to bake it off. You don’t want to deflate it after you’ve spent all that time and effort.
In bakeries they often have a proof box, which is a big warm, and most importantly humid stainless steel closet that you can roll speed racks of formed loaves into the make them rise faster. You can approximate this at home by putting a shallow dish of hot water in a dark oven and putting your shaped loaves on a higher rack. (You can warm your oven by leaving the inside light on overnight or by putting it on the lowest temperature setting for a few minutes. It should not be hot, just warm.)
You can conversely stall bread’s rising time by putting it in the fridge. It will still rise, but much more slowly. If your dough is not in a humid place you should keep it covered in an lightly oiled container with a lid, a sealed plastic bag, or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap (if uncovered it will form a crust that you do not want.)
The first thing you should always do when you set out to make bread dough—is proof your yeast. I find that about one out of three dry yeast packets contain dead or lifeless yeast and your bread will not rise much if you use it.
To proof yeast: mix the amount of yeast your recipe calls for with a small amount of warm water (not hotter than 108 F, or you may kill the yeast.) Add a pinch of flour, sugar, or honey—which is food for the yeast. Take a clean tea towel and drape it over the bowl (I use a glass measuring cup usually) and sit it in a warm dark place for 10 minutes. When you take the towel off there should be a foamy head on the yeast mixture—just like a freshly poured beer. It should be thick and bubbly. If your yeast only gives you a thin coating of bubbles or none at all? Throw it out. Start again. Your yeast is no good.
Once you know your yeast is lively—you can mix up your dough. It’s good to do it by hand a few times. Also kneading bread dough is a good work out, especially if you’re cranky. You can punch the dough a lot. But in the bakery we used an enormous mixer. You can’t mix hundreds of pounds of bread dough by hand without a lot of people to do it.
Unlike scones and things like muffins, which you want to mix as little as possible, you really can’t overbeat bread dough (Maybe if you did it for hours or something that would be bad.) You want it to form gluten. Gluten is what makes bread chewy.
It’s impossible to get the same results from home baked bread as you would in a professional bakery for two main reasons. A home oven can’t get as a hot as a bakery oven. (Same thing with pizza ovens.) And professional bread ovens have steam vents in them. You hit a button and blasting hot steam is released into the ovens. That’s what makes good bread have that bubbled crackly surface and a good crust. You can sort of approximate that at home by misting warm water into an oven while you’re baking bread though.
(tip: if you have bread that does not have a crisp crust you can dampen the outside with a little water and warm it a 350 oven for a bit. The crust will get nicely crunch and your bread will be warm.)
