The venerable Rusty, one of the stars of the Quacked Panes comic run, was (of course) one of the first ducks I put under the bright lights in the tent. If I couldn’t make this duck look good, what was even the point? He’s a bit the worse for wear (he’s named “Rusty” for a reason after all) but hey, he’ll probably outlive me in the long run.

Mind you, not every picture came out well. I kept tinkering with the camera settings and that made some pictures come out too bright or too dim, and I’m not enough of an image-editing guy to know how to adjust for that without making the final results even worse, so what you see is what I can give.

This… is the result of a very silly idea that came to me a while ago, when I came across yet another of those silly meme sites… people putting stuff on their pets, or something along those lines. I thought, “Hell, if they can do that, why can’t I just put up pictures of… I dunno, my ducks on random objects?”

And here we are. To start us off, please enjoy this picture of Rusty from Quacked Panes, perched on a statue of a bear cub at the zoo.

But it doesn’t have to be just my ducks on random objects. Have you a duck, or a flock thereof? Maybe you’d like to join in on this silliness, then. If so, then I’ll work up a submissions process and we can all work toward making the Internet an even sillier place than it already is.

I mean, what worthier endeavor could there be?
