Bars he can squeeze out of with his stretchy power… hahaha

I always loved more the MOTW episodes rather than the Mythology ones… although in that episodes the characters relationships evolve much than in the others. But MOTW episodes were so creepy and sometimes funny or nonsense (and sometime happened they were boring) … I really loved them ahahaha and I think they are very suitable for this kind of strips.

I think this is my new favorite webcomic ever! I was just recently revisiting the first season on Netflix, so when I found this I was just tickled! Great job. I hope you keep it up =D

Jacob, I know what you mean. I loved the X-Files but a continual source of frustration for me is that they were NEVER able to “win” in any meaningful capacity. The X-Files sort of popularized this kind of ending (the good guys just aren’t able to get one over the bad guys) and TV sort of ran with it, to varying degrees, ever since. It’s nice that our heroes don’t always win, but it gets fatiguing when that always happens.

Another moment I thought was super creepy was at the end when Tooms is making a new nest for himself in the holding cell.

And I was oddly touched by the scene of the old cop reading the news of Tooms’s arrest.

I admire the way this episode features a stretchy guy and manages to make it all work even though it has virtually no special effects.

I feel like a lot of the old episodes ended with Scully and Mulder not actually accomplishing a lot — for instance in this episode where it’s strongly implied that Tooms escapes again. I’m not a big fan of this sort of ending, at least not when it’s that common.
