WOW! A solid century! Happy Birthday, Mel Brooks! :D

My computer is doing its level best to die plus, won’t connect to WiFi. Mostly, I don’t care. It’s unsurprising as it’s ancient. But if it goes, I lose CSP, which is comp-specific & my current art attempts are held hostage by fucking #OneDrive, which I hate and didn’t ask for. #FuckTechnology #FML

Progress. Practice. #TraditionalArt #Xailenrath #ColoredPencil #Markers

Business has been slow lately. When art block is still beating you with a stick, resort to vanity projects.

Yesterday was fun.

Day 21 of #DDPrideMonth and the #webcomic is Nachtmusik by @xailenrath.bsky.social! It all began with World Domination... and went downhill from there. Read it here: www.theduckwebcomics.com/Nachtmuzik/ #lgbtq #parody #adventure #action

First new page of #IWATSV I've managed to put out since last November! Hopefully more to come but my computer is currently dying. Wish me luck! #Xailenrath #supervillains #webcomic

Wise words from Steve...

My deep dark #PopCulture secrets that’ll get my Nerd Card revoked? I was never really fond of or impressed by 95% of #StarWars lore. I actively dislike #MargeSimpson And I never thought #That70sShow or #BigBangTheory were particularly funny. Both had their moments but mostly? ‘Meh’ & ‘Nah

While having fanboy flashbacks & ranting positively at watching #TheElectricCompany, (Young Morgan Freeman!!) my girl said "I love you"' AND called my by my childhood nickname. (Didn't even know that she knew it!) My very soul in a nutshell, ladies and gents. I am currently very happy!

Saw He-Man & #MOTU yesterday. No masterpiece but still pretty fun. Chock full of that self-satirical ModCom buffoonery but I'm used to it & my only REAL complaint as a cranky #GenX original fan was "resolved" in the literal last minute of the movie (before the post-cred scene.) A solid 7 outta 10.

For the 42nd anniversary of my fave movie by way of some of my faves from #ComicFury. #Ghostbusters #fanart #Xailenrath #webcomics

42 years ago today, Ghostbusters was released in theaters. 👻🚫

Happy Ghostbusters Day! 👻

BI Pryde!!

What’s your favorite movie from each decade of your life? 70s - The Muppet Movie 80s - Ghostbusters 90s - The Crow 00s - The Incredibles 10s - Scott Pilgrim vs the World 20s - Free Guy

So… #LMGTS You’re a normie wannabe with a social media platform. Your ‘content’ has 2 million followers. You’re a “celebrity”?! Conversely, You’re an actual actor on an actual show with “only” 17 million viewers of any given episode. Somehow, you’re a failure or ‘has-been’?! Make It Make Sense.

*sigh*... #RIP Anthony Stewart Head. (Man, the frequency of #celebdeath for the last year or so - particularly the ones who've brought me some semblance of joy with their works - has been really depressing.

Bring the golf cart man, my knees hurt...

"AI bros wish they were artists". No, they just want to be CALLED "artists". They want what they perceive as the end result; attention. ACTUAL artists - even if it's a salary-paying job - enjoy/obsess over the ACT of creating something. It's why they do what they do.

The censorship of social media in general doesn’t bother me (much). My question is HOW do they pick n choose what to censor? Most times it seems they drop the ban-hammer on light toon smut & Artistic Nudes while 2 accounts over is str8-up live action hardcore porn which goes untouched. #WTF?!

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

Yeah, so... I've been hearing stories. I really wanna take #Ambien now. Just to see what'll happen. My life is so fucked up, what could it possibly do to me? Probably something utterly insane but in a drug-fueled twist, it could actually be something POSITIVE - as in the opposite of my 'normal'.

Dont’cha just ‘love’ it when advertisers tell you that (Insert Brand Name Product Here) is the “leading name in its field for over 30 years” but no one’s never heard of it? Like, EVER?!

So, hey -- Are #toys even a 'thing' anymore?

It’s End of the World Day, and we know exactly who to call! 👻🚫

Hello Politicultist randos! Y’all know I’m a cartoonist who doesn’t give a shit about politics, right? Also, why are you choosing superheroes as your usernames? We DO check accounts before following back. We’re nerds. It’s sad if you’re bots but even more pathetic if you’re not.

#RestInPeace Tom Kane.

Watching Benny Hill reruns makes me question how Brits garnered the rep for being uptight sticks in the mud while we neurotic and skittish, still somehow very Puritan Americans got labeled as "sexually liberated rebels". It's 2026 and our mainstream media is still deathly afraid of #nipples.

Oh hey-- 11 days in and I have just seen my first free-range #MerMay pic (that I didn't actively go looking for)!

I'm told today is #WebcomicDay. Here's an old #crossover of one of mine w/ my 2 favorite webcomics: Jen & Donna (bikini baristas) from #Grinder$ (my 2nd fave) Madness (jester) & Pearl (pigtails and #BSOD) from #Tangentville (fave) Chip & Eddie currently in Tales From St. Murphy (mine) #ComicFury

Wow. 9 days in and I haven't even seen a #mermaid yet. Are we "over it"? I guess #MayTheFourth and #GoldenBikiniWeek (when did THAT become a 'thing'?!) have overshadowed #Fishboobies month now? Weird. Maybe internet meme/trends are dying out, huh? (Lookin' at YOU, #InternationalTalkLikeAPirateDay!)

Man, #ArtBlock has been kicking my ass for almost 2 and a half months! These are the last 4 things I've "finished" and I'm not even satisfied with them. I'm getting rusty. #Xailenrath #webcomics #superhero #vampire #SharedUniverse #ComicFury

“I've always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It's so much easier to be negative & cynical & predict doom for the world than it is to try & figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter." - Jim Henson

Maybe I'm late to the party, but there seems to be a rising #webcomic subgenre having to do with aging #magicalgirls & #sentai warriors growing up, failing at "adulting" and being burnt out, depressed & ineffectual when a new world-ending evil For A New Generation pops up outta nowhere. Thoughts?

Man, #AnneHathaway has a really soothing voice! #Jeopardy

Trying to gauge what the day is going to be like before I bother trying to get vertical. #REM

I’d forgotten just how much pure idiotic, cameo-packed fun National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1 was. I may have to watch this movie more often than once every three years or so. I mean, #TimCurry & #WilliamShatner both chewing scenery in the same movie alone is worth it.

Today’s assignment: work “mother pus bucket!” into a real-life conversation. 👻🚫

Ugh! #Artblock and Comicking Fatigue have been kicking my ass for almost 3 months, now. I need more practice, more ideas and to maybe just STOP. At least for a while until I get my creative batteries recharged.

Just for gits & shiggles, I’d like to lock Karen Walker from #WillAndGrace in an elevator with Niles from #TheNanny to see who verbally devastates whom first and worst. My money’s on Niles.

OK so, according to the internet, #ChrisEvans is rather 'well endowed', apparently. For the last few years, #MCU fans have been making "America's Ass" jokes due to the tightness of the Cap uniform. Me being me, I'm gonna be fixated on "America's Cock", joke-wise, for the foreseeable future.

Man, the way things have been going lately, art and comics wise, I just want to burn it all down and start over. Or maybe just stop after the Burn it all Down part.

Either this episode of #CelebrityJeopardy is a rerun from somewhat recently that I've mostly forgotten, somehow, or I'm having the deepest and most intellectual bout of #DejaVu I've ever had! I swear I've JUST seen this one!

I swear: If a #webcomic creator I like works multiple simultaneous projects, inevitably they will drop the one I like most (or at least back-burner it indefinitely) in favor of concentrating solely on one of the ones that I don't really care for. Like EVERY TIME! #JinxedFanBoy

This really puts my problems into perspective.

If #NSFW graphic art is to be believed, cartoon women find headless, faceless men to be extremely #fuckable. Go figure.

#Existentialism in creativity?

#DCcomics often reboots their reality. #Marvel doesn't. They just have a 'sliding scale of time'. This is your friendly reminder that #BenGrimm was a WW2 test pilot. #Punisher was in 'Nam. The Avengers mingled with the season 1 #SNL cast. And #JeanGrey is 70 YEARS OLD as of her original death! #JSYK
