What the Duck !

What The Duck is the work of "40% photographer, 60% Photoshopper" Aaron Johnson, who offers free syndication of his strip. A new WTD appears on the EPUK website front page every weekday, and below are the last five days strips. You can see older strips and find out more at the excellent WTD website.

<a href="http://web.mac.com/aaronandpatty/What_the_Duck/Comic_Strips/Entries/2008/5/12_WTD_474_files/WTD474_1.gif"></a>I got to give a shout out to the folks at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville as they wrap up their school year. Their student newspaper, <a href="http://www.uwpexponent.org/">the Exponent</a>, ran What the Duck this year and cool dude Andy hooked me up with a pile of hardcopies this weekend. Thank you, Andy and <a href="http://www.uwpexponent.org/">the Exponent</a> for letting me share the page with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Is_Hell">Life is Swell</a>.
