DUDELZ of the Damned | Pony Party
GREETINGS LIVING WEIRDOS OF TODAY AND ZOMBIES OF TOMORROW!
IT IS, DOCTOR CLARKENSTEIN!
All Hallow’s Eve has descended upon the small town of Clarksburg. Vampires, ghosts, monsters, aliens, and these are just the locals! They’re out in force along with all the children dressed in creepy costumes to score some sugary sweets. Now as anybody in town will tell you, there are two prime places to bag the biggest haul. First is Downtown, the entire street cordoned off as the small businesses that line the block hand out candy. Yet it’s the second spot that’s considered the best in town; Wonder Ziggy’s Drive-In Cinema! His Trunk or Treat party is the stuff of legends! Guests wandering the four lots are treated to king sized bars, lollipops bigger than their heads, free B-Movies rolling on loop, and for those brave enough to stick around after sunset, scary stories! Ziggy opens the floor to those who have a terrifying tale to tell. Being the weird bunch that they are, naturally there’s no shortage of spoopy stories from the Clarktoons. Here is one of them now depicted as a DUDEL of the Damned.
It’s a ritual as old as time itself. A creepy ceremony that splits the veil between the material and spiritual worlds asunder. Once it’s occurred, none who participate ever come out the same. Naturally such an eerie event can only happen on the darkest, coldest, most sinister of nights! When a blood-curdling whistle is carried ever so delicately through the breeze with a full moon burning a bright white in the sky! Prepare how you will, nothing can prepare the mortal mind for something so horrible, so heinous, so haunting! Naturally I’m referring to one of Xena’s slumber parties. Kid thought she was gonna bust out the Ghoul Board and summon some demented demon. What she hadn’t anticipated was a strange friend turning this into Pony Fest 2025!
Some of you may recognize this friend as Erma from the same titled series by @brandontheoutcasti. I’ve been following them for a few years and thought it’d be cute if our two horror-based child characters finally collided. Especially since, as revealed last year, the two share a birth year. Yes, seriously. While digging around through sta.sh before deviantART had a chance to trash that too, the original Xena sketch was uncovered and dated from 2014! Those of you who are curious what Croc’s daughter originally looked like can check out the initial drawing included here. For now, this DUDEL was easily the most fun to draw. Granted, given I haven’t followed Erma’s comics as closely as preferred (something that will be fixed in the future), I could only make assumptions about her friend Amy. Is she into Warrior Unicorn Princess like her phantom pal? No clue! At the very least I suspect she’d participate in her pal’s party like a best bud would. Hence why the blonde gets an oddly familiar pony doll. Recognize the plushy, @Foxhatart? Either way, I hope you all enjoy!
MAY THE GLASSES BE WITH YOU!
