Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: Your last duck comic make me honestly laugh! I could even imagine them reading in real comic volume. And thank you very, very, VERY much about all your comics. They reminded me how I loved reading duck comics as a kid. My family never was a rich one, but mom was always trying to buy for me and brother at least one volume for half year, because we loved them so much (and I still have them somewhere). They were a big part of my childhood, and thanks to your comics I realised how I still love them!

that’s so awesome, this is so awesome, I love the duck comics so much too and thank you for saying these things so honestly- I really am so happy to know what these comics mean to people and making people laugh with my stories and bringing back the joy of the originals is all I could ever hope for

queenburd asked: hey Mod!! seeing as ur my number one source for gladstone content, I was wondering if you knew if Gladstone (Or any of the cast! Its been a REALLY long time since I watched Ducktales) played instruments in canon? (as opposed to hitting some random notes and it coming out great GLADSTONE) also, I was wondering if your latest comic was in the same continuity as the other Magica/Gladstone comics you made, or just the canon comics. Thanks!

Sure! Gladstone is canonically claimed to be the ‘champion ukulele player of Duckburg’ in one of Carl Barks’ comics, Good Canoes and Bad Canoes-

as for the continuity of my comics, I guess I try to write them so they can either be stand alone or linked to one another- the canon comics sort of have the rule that everything gets set back to a certain default. Even if the ducks have gradually evolved and had character development, there are never any huge shifts; Donald never marries Daisy, Gyro never dies from blowing himself up, and none of them age! Imagine how weird it would be if they did? So yeah, I go from the same perspective- namely, Gladstone and Magica will always be the characters they are recognized to be at the beginning (and in some way the end) of the doodle comics I write; whether or not the previous doodle comics ‘have happened’ to them is up to you as the reader!

Anonymous asked: Hey modmad, I recently tried manic panic and it's all but washed out in a week! Gone from dark (like sonic but darker) blue to lavender! Do you have any tips for me? I'm still v new to dye

Woah! That’s surprising, I haven’t used all the dyes in their range tbh but that sounds like either a) your hair hasn’t taken the dye well, which can be helped either by bleaching the hair first and/or leaving the dye on for longer when you colour, or b) you might want to go easy when you’re washing it- I only shampoo once then condition, rather than the old lather-rinse-repeat pattern, but then I have short hair so I can get away with it. Some dyes do just wash out quicker than others, and some folks put some of the dye into their conditioner so they top it up with every shower to counter that, but those are the best tips I can give you! Also like, idk maybe try another colour if it keeps happening ‘cause that’s a bummer my pal.
