In this episode we’re talking to Eric, the creator of Ducktown Weekly—a nostalgia-packed print publication that brings back everything you loved about the funny pages. If you were the kid who raced to the comics before anyone else touched the newspaper, this episode is your warm hug. We dive into how Eric revived a nearly extinct format, why print can still feel magical, what it takes to start a newspaper in 2025, and why hundreds of people are rediscovering the joy of comics, puzzles, national park features, and more.
We discuss:
- Why holding a physical paper, looking forward to the mail, and escaping screens for a few minutes still gives people real joy.
- Comics are a multigenerational love language. Whether you connect with classics or discover new favorites, comics hit an emotional sweet spot.
- Starting a “newspaper” today is shockingly accessible. With modern software, syndicate licensing, and outsourced printing, one person can build something that used to take a whole newsroom.
- Side hustles can be passion projects. Eric runs Ducktown Weekly while also working full-time as an economist, proving that joy-driven projects can still thrive.
- The value of analog connection is rising. People crave real mail, quiet moments, and screen-free experiences, making Ducktown Weekly a refreshing alternative to algorithm-driven everything.
