Anonymous asked: I followed you for tPoH and in the last few months my dashboard became flooded with ducks. Now, I loved reading these comics when I was little but I didn't plan to go back to reading them after 10 years and I only followed a few other duck blogs because of nostalgia, but seeing how much everyone loves them I finally gave in yesterday and wow I forgot how great these were!! Thanks to you, I'm ready to drown in sweet childhood nostalgia feels and cry because they don't publish them here anymore.
SUCCESS also man I feel you do you know how darned impossible it is to find duck comics on UK shelves

Anonymous asked: I really admire you for being so pro Gladstone, but I get real sad when I see hate (I know he's not a popular character but still)- how do you deal with that sort of thing?
eh, it doesn’t surprise me any more, and even if it stings a bit I guess I’ve learned to care less; people are allowed their opinions! and I know his bad sides as well as his good qualities, it is part of the reason I love him so much- but if someone else is entitled to have an opinion, you’re entitled to yours as well, and you don’t have to expose yourself to negativity more than you want to! whether it’s a character or a ship or even an entire fandom/interest, if you don’t want to put up with hate you don’t have to- viewing hate in tags is a downer by anyone’s standard and you don’t ‘owe’ that person your time or mental energy; the block function is there to make your life easier, after all!
Anonymous asked: Uncle Mod, I've been dealing with on off super bad wrist pain in my dominant hand for years now. After finally getting a doctor to take it as seriously as it needed to be, all the tests have come back sort of... inconclusive. It's frustrating enough having to quit my job, quit university, and move back with my parents because of it, but I'm really upset I'll never make art or comics again. It's my greatest passion! Do you have any words for me...?
eesh, sorry my buddy that sounds horrible- and sometimes it takes years for doctors to find the exact cause, sometimes they never can! I happened to have a pair of parents with medical pasts and I got sent to the right specialist early on. I can’t offer much comfort- being back in the RSI pain parade yet again myself- but try to be patient with yourself, find creative outlets that don’t require hands (listen to music, sing, watch movies, talk!) if you really over exert you will run the risk of not drawing in the future. I can’t promise you will be able to! I don’t know what my future is either- we just have to do the best we can and look after ourselves
Anonymous asked: Mod tumblr is blocked in Indonesia now, I can't see your art! ;_;
aw pants, seriously?! that sucks! but hopefully my website isn’t- perhaps it will encourage me to update that ‘miscellaneous art’ section more often. I’m really sorry though that situation bites!
Anonymous asked: Mod, did you see? How wonderful! Mary Poppins! And Alex Cho did some set designs for the movie! The Alex Cho!! That also worked on the Emoji Movie but still, wonderful work.

I’M EXCITED YOU’RE EXCITED WE ALL EXCITED
Anonymous asked: Hello! I loove your comic so much and i wanted to ask you if it's okay to ask you the meaning of certain thing in it? English isn't my first language so alot of the world play in them (very very clever you are) gets lost and i cna only understand with explanation. Such as "crushed by grief" or "rooted in the spot by fear" that i only understood when explained by english speakers. It's ok if not tho! I understand that the mystery makes it much more interesting, i hope you have a great day
ask away! if I can answer (that is, if it isn’t a spoiler), I will try to! I’m afraid I didn’t think so far ahead as to expect translations when I started writing this pun-ridden comic, but I have to say my translators have done an exceptional job in dealing with it :’D
Anonymous asked: I, a furry, keep having to remind myself that you're /not/ a furry and it's such a split feeling bc on the one hand I'm glad because I know you never draw nsfw and I'm not sure my brain could handle disney ducks in that context, but on the other hand I'm sad because if you ever did I know it would be the sweetest funniest most consenting healthy relationship nsfw material ever created
you know I’ve had a few ‘are you a furry/would you ever draw nfsw’ asks through the years but this one wins for being the most adorably honest and cute XD bless u furry anon but yeah that ain’t my scene, thanks for the support though?!
