But I just heard a story that would just about take your knees out.

The X-Files | The Jersey Devil | 1x05

I thought I saw something move in the lake... nah, it was nothing. But this Lochness Lakeside Campgrounds look cool!

We have another stop on the Cryptid Motel Road Trip Adventure. We have the Mothman Motel, the Jackalope Inn, Fresno Night Crawler Bed and Breakfast, the Jersey Devil Lodge, the Geyser Siren Hot Springs, and the Bigfoot Log Cabins.

I only have a few more to make: the Chupacabra Diner, the Flatwoods Monster Cafe, the Squonk Motor Hotel, the Cactus Lounge, and the Yeti Ski Resort! And that will complete my cryptid motel series

In appreciation of today’s drawfee ep here’s the painting I made a few years ago of cryptids playing poker that is hanging in my parents house because they’re cool like that

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN OF 2025!

I had long wanted to do an update of the folklore & cryptids group I'd done for Summerween in 2019, and a variation done later that year. This time, of course, expanding the cast.

Counter-clockwise from Stan, reprising his Jersey Devil costume, we also have: Soos as Bigfoot; Melody as the Flatwoods Monster; Wendy as a Western gunslinger Jackalope (don't worry, that's a water-pistol); Dipper once again as the Pterodactyl Thunderbird; Mabel as a selkie, with mer-pig Waddles; Fiddleford as the Gobblewonker; and Ford once again as Mothman.

I wish I'd gotten it shaded, but decided I'd better get it put up while it was actually still Summerween!

(A couple of other small notes: the green skin of Soos's Bigfoot is explained here; and all the related pics I've done of Bigfoot are linked from here. I did find some Loch Ness Monster costumes for sale that look very much like what Fiddleford is wearing here, with a big plushie head on top. The Flatwoods Monster has many depictions, but in the end I went with a version of the costume created by Andrew Smith, director of the Braxton County WV visitor center and founder of the Flatwoods Monster Museum; see article and pics here, with a good history of this particular cryptid!)

I’ve started watching the x files and I just have a few questions

Whose middle school boy drew this? Why did it make it into an episode? Do they have any regrets? Any apologies? Why in the world was this their interpretation of the Jersey Devil?
