A VERY MERRY SNUCKLY DUCKLY CRIMSAUCE AND I LOVE YOU ALL also hey what were these two doing during the mickey xmas carol?
this. probbly.
Luck in the duck comics is a bit of a theme, huh- I’m not sure I have opinions that can’t be overturned by good story writing/unusual situations, but my general understanding of it is there’s a sort of scale that the ducks abide to and which can, in turn, affect the story and how they come out of it. Donald’s luck is probably a little more in the orange than I’ve drawn it here to be honest, and this is all without the important factor of fairness-
I’ve explored it before, but the fun thing about Gladstone and Donald going up against each other is that even though Donald’s luck is bad, if he plays fair and tries hard, then even if Gladstone ‘wins’ the contest or race or prize something always happens that makes it clear that Donald actually is better off without it, and has more valuable treasures in life already. Gladstone’s luck isn’t infallible, either, and if he tries too hard to use it, or uses it badly/for something that he doesn’t deserve, it can go completely against him. I also see him as being genuinely afraid of cursed objects, which would imply that a heavily cursed status is even stronger than his latent Triple Distelfink luck.
In terms of luck ‘cancelling out’ I would say rather than hitting an average point (e.g. Gladstones luck meeting Magica’s luck would equate to low level good luck), it is more interesting and probable that each type of luck would be active, but somehow have to compensate for the other. There’s a story where Donald gets hold of Gladstone’s gold four leaf clover (which would count as ‘augmented’ for him), and it results in everything going horribly wrong like usual… but ends up with the situation fixing itself in an equally dramatic way. He ends up returning the clover because it’s too much stress having to deal with both kinds of luck at once!
Anonymous asked: i love how you keep drawing these lovingly pure scenarios with Sero and the rest of the gang and i just... (clenches fist) love it so much. i feel like by the end of the school year everyone in the class would be like oh yeah ive got a crush on Sero but itd be one of those pure friend crushes where theyre not seeking anything romantic they just really love the guy and are very open about it. they tell everyone hes the best. overwhelm him with praise and affection. hes a good boy he deserves it
Sero is absolutely everyones friend crush
land-of-birds-and-comics:
“retractable” might be the wrong word for duck teeth. they’d be “protractable”, like cat claws. sheathed by default, in a relaxed position. then you piss them off and they open their mouth to bite you and SHING

GET HYPE FOLKS THE BOOKS ARE A-COMIN’
they’ve finally arrived at the Make That Thing distribution office! These are shots of the advance copies I got and guys guys they’re really nice seriously you’re gonna love them- BUT this means it’s now or never on the Backerkit stuff, so for those of you on the kickstarter supporters list if you think you want extras/need to change your address or anything now is the time because we’re locking down surveys through this Tuesday (as in, like, now, basically)
as stated before for those of you who missed the kickstarter but still want books, any that don’t go out as rewards will be put up on sale and I’ll make a post about that when it happens! so keep ur peepers peeled folks.
thank you all so so much this literally would not have been possible without you, I’m so happy! :’D
