I WENT TO BARNES AND NOBLE TO GET GIFTS FOR FRIENDS AND WOUND UP WALKING OUT WITH A COPY OF THE NEW X-FILES COMICS PRINTED BY WILDSTORM (I AM SO AWESOME). SCULLY HAVING A FANCY PHONE WITH GPS TO HELP HER FIND MULDER'S ASS WHEN HE DITCHES HER IS PRETTY AMUSING, BUT I MUST COMMENT ON THE ART, BEING A GILLYPHILE AND OLD SCHOOL FAN WHO REMEMBERS THE OLD COMICS. AND IS OLD.

LET US COMPARE

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE BOTH SUPPOSED TO BE SCULLY:

OLD COMICS:



NEW COMICS:



HMMM

EDIT: ALSO, THOUGHT I'D JUST SHARE THE UNORTHODOX DECORATING JOB MY SEVEN YEAR OLD NIECE DID ON MY CHRISTMAS TREE



SCULLY IS A TRULY NOBLE FIR

HELLO FELLOW PHILES!
I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT MAKING A NEW CAPS BUT THEN I DECIDED THAT I HATED IT. BASICALLY, I MESHED TOGETHER A TWILIGHT/BAD BLOOD CROSSOVER. HOWEVER, I AM NOT POSTING IT BECAUSE A) I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM GOING TO PISS OFF FOR THE COUNTLESS JABS I MAKE AT "TWILIGHT" AND B) IT'S JUST NOT THAT GOOD.

BUT AFTER SEEING YOUR COMMENTS, I SHALL POST ANYWAYS. BUT SRSLY, WARNING. I JUST DON'T THINK TWILIGHT CAN INSPIRE MY FUNNY SIDE. ALSO NOTE, THERE IS A LOT, AND I MEAN A LOT OF CURSING. TWILIGHT APPARENTLY MAKES ME WANT TO CURSE LIKE A SAILOR (NO SUPRISE THERE). OR I COULD BLAME IT ON BITCH-SCULLY.
