Monster of the Week: The complete cartoon X-Files is a webcomic by Shaenon K. Garrity that started in June 2012 and chronicles The X-Files, episode by episode. Every Friday, a new episode is presented in the form of a neat, black-and-white twelve-panel cartoon.Long story short, it's The Abridged Series of The X-Files in the form of a webcomic. Of course, some changes were inevitable. Monster of the Week doesn't take itself seriously, throws away multiple plots from the series, Mulder is a Genki Guy, and characters lean on or outright break the fourth wall.The comic went on hiatus in June 2014 after concluding season four of The X-Files. It briefly came out of hiatus as of February 2016 to recap the 2016 miniseries, again in February 2018 to recap season 5 (as a side reward for kickstarting a reprint of her original comic, Narbonic), October 2020 to recap season 6 (as a side reward for kickstarting the ninth print volume of her original comic Skin Horse), and (currently) August 2022 (as part of the stretch goals for kickstarting Skin Horse's 11th and 12th volumes).You can start reading it here. Their Patreon can be found herenote If it reaches $2000, the webcomic will fully be brought out of hiatus.Not to be confused with the trope or the Tabletop RPG. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Scully and Mulder have a few moments. Of course, they immediately notice that this is going to inspire fanfiction. | |

| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_11a74598 | comment |
Became Their Own Antithesis: Lampshaded in the first panel of Season 5 lone gunmen Backstory episode Unusual Suspects, where Byers introduces himself as being the exact opposite character of how he had been know previously in the series, only to become his current self by the end of the episode(which may or may not have been caused by the crazy gas that causes paranoid delusion): | |

Ripped from the Headlines: Lampshaded for The Field Where I Died: invoked Also used, in a Dude, Not Funny! fashion, in the Season 10 episode Babylon, where the dying Muslim character complains about the portrayal of Muslim characters in the episode as terrorists, and Mulder retorts invoking this trope. | |

Animated Actors: Played with (inverted?). Scully and Mulder repeatedly refer to their actors, usually when giving an explanation why they can't join in on an adventure. However, they always refer to their actors as separate people while doing so, and seem to go on vacation while they're missing, rather than whatever their actor was actually doing. | |

Bat Deduction: In "Chimera", the nonsense by which Mulder goes from Scully talking about a street preacher to realising who the monster is, lampshaded by him calling Scully "Old chum". | |

Formula-Breaking Episode | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_670db7d7 | comment |
Formula-Breaking Episode: Many times the author changes the formula from abridging episodes to something else: Jersey Devil, in which the author, underwhelmed at how easy the namesake creature was to kill, proceeds to reimagine the plot. It involves Batman riding the Jersey Devil like a Flying Mount. Firewalker, in which the author questions the scientific accuracy of the killer fungi, and invites a Mycologist to debunk it, but he eventually gets so annoying that Mulder and Scully proceed to throw him at a pit of the (now debunked) killer fungi. Excelsis Dei, which is presented as an instructional video to create awareness on the difficult subject of ghost rape. Aubrey, in which due to the participation of actor Terry O'Quinn, who would play Locke on Lost years later, the strip then turns into a Whatif Crossover of how several other Lost characters would act if they were in the episode. Irresistible, Die Hand Die Verlezt and Orison, which are a list of the ten top reasons why their respective monsters of the week(Donnie Pfaster, Mrs. Paddock, and Donny Pfaster again) are so creepy. Fearful Symmetry, in which aliens explain their plans to abduct zoo animals and turn them invisible, for the lulz. Humbug, which is presented as a list of carnival attractions, in reference to the Circus of Fear involved in the episode. F.Emasculata, which is a series of tips to prevent another outbreak like the one that happened in this episode. Which are actually only two tips: don't lean in close to stuff covered in giant pulsating boils and listen to the CDC and not any evil impersonators of the CDC that may show up instead. D.P.O and Small Potatoes, in which the author recognizes these episodes as her Guilty Pleasure and goes on to list the many reasons for this. Hell Money, which is a list of the inaccuracies of the episode's portrayal of San Francisco, being the actual living place of the author. Jose Chung's "From Outer Space" which is a series of one-shot panels drawn by different artists, lampshading the many ways in which the episode intentionally makes no sense. It also mimics the differing artwork of the "Big Book of Conspiracies," as Jose Chung itself is a patchwork combination of various UFO conspiracy theories found in that book. Home, in which the author purposely changes the strip to a story of her husband and she watching the episode, because the dark, mundane horror of the plot makes it hard to properly satirize. Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man is written as one of CSM's "Jack Colquitt" novels. Mulder And Scully Meet The Were-Monster, which offers an explanation for Guy Mann being dressed like Kolchak - by suggesting that the murder victim he stole clothes from was Kolchak himself. Babylon, which is mostly about the dying terrorist character breaking the fourth wall to complain about the portrayal of Muslim culture in the episode. The ending is then reimagined with the Muslim guy leaving Mulder in order to have a dance party with the Lone Gunmen. Monday, which is designed In the Style of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story through its panel layout instead of serving as a "normal" comic. The Unnatural, which mostly consists of Shannon informally talking about her love for the episode and how David Duchovny is actually a genius with a master's degree from Yale. Hungry, which is an infomercial by brain-eating mutant Rob Roberts about "the power of proboscoid thinking". The Goldberg Variations, which is an explanatory diagram of how the Goldbergian chain of events fits together. X-Cops, which is another one which focuses on Shaenon and Andrew's reactions to the episode. This time he falls asleep. Je Souhite has Mulder recap the actual episode in the first panel, and the rest is Scully telling the genie her three wishes (which are ironically granted in the next episode). | |

"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_72757e0d | comment |
"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: Lampshaded on several occasions to note the absurdity of certain episodes' plot twists. It's almost to Running Gag levels, as seen whenever there is a message attached to a strip which says: "Actual line/joke/dialogue used in the episode". The Calusari: "Old lady eaten by chickens: thing that happens." The entirety of War of the Coprophages, at the very beginning with a message from the author: "Okay, I admit it. I can do nothing better with this episode than just quote all the best lines". Hell Money: "Left His Heart in San Francisco <- Actual Joke used in this Episode.note The episode is about a human organ trafficking ring." Terma: "Interlude: Horse framed in scientist's death." Chinga: "Scully microwaves a doll. (beat) And that is a thing that happens in an X-File." | |

Continuity Nod: Upon finding the premise of the Kaddish episode (racial minority) Scully immediately remembers previous "racial minority" episodes (one with melanine vampires) and notes they don't have a very good track record of dealing with such cases (the vampires episode wasn't exactly sensible). | |

This Is Gonna Suck | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_9dfb8296 | comment |
This Is Gonna Suck: In the pilot, Scully's reaction to Mulder's office being full of UFO stuff and nerdery is "Aw, crud." Scully barely makes it four panels before realizing just how stupid Space is going to be. This is also Scully's reaction in the Season 5 episode Kill Switch, when she founds out they'll be teaming up with "the other kind of fictional hacker": Played for Laughs in the Season 6 episode Triangle: | |

Failure Hero | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_a03b1d9f | comment |
Failure Hero: Mulder and Scully only solve the episode's conflict about a third of the time, if that. As noted by Shaenon, the nature of the series means they can't really get solid proof of the paranormal or expose the Conspiracy, so so they often achieve very little and generally end up letting enough people die that they have to close the case. They even have a catchphrase for when they are particularly ineffective (see Running Gag below). Of course, being an abridged series this is all Played for Laughs. | |

Red Shirt: There's a lot of those, but it's especially lampshaded in Ice, when, upon hearing what their newest mission is about, Scully decides to collect a bunch of "some redshirts to get killed ahead of us". Those are: "Cynical hard-bitten pilot!", "Wacky scientist whose quirks will be missed!", "Suspicious guy who will probably turn on everyone!" and "A woman!" ("I'm a woman and a scientist. That's two traits.") Also, Flirty Science Guy. | |

Monday, which is designed In the Style of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story through its panel layout instead of serving as a "normal" comic. | |

F.Emasculata, which is a series of tips to prevent another outbreak like the one that happened in this episode. Which are actually only two tips: don't lean in close to stuff covered in giant pulsating boils and listen to the CDC and not any evil impersonators of the CDC that may show up instead. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Scully introduces herself to Mulder as "I'm Clarice Star—Dana Scully." Season 10 Agents Miller and Einstein are basically younger versions of Mulder and Scully. Lampshaded in Season 10's last chapter My Struggle II: In the Millennium crossover, Scully points out that Frank Black, "controversial FBI profiler", is somewhat similar to Mulder. Mulder asks her how many hit series she's showrun. | |

Girlfriend in Canada: Pheobe Green from the episode "Fire" is introduced by Mulder saying "Hey, Scully. Remember how I told you I did so have a girlfriend but she lives in England and you wouldn't know her?" | |

Running Gag | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Scully in peril! "So...even by our usual low standards, we completely failed." "Oh God, don't make me say [something] vampire." The screenwriters of the series being drawn as grey aliens. SKINNER'S FIST!!! The rainy pine forests of [place of current episode].note Which is in turn a reference to the episodes being shot in Vancouver—only in the pilot episode the name Vancouver is actually used. Mulder's love of sketchy, suspicious informants. invoked Mulder and Cancer Man being B.F.Fs. note Which seems to be actually a legit aspiration of Cancer Man, making him somewhat of a Jerkass Woobie. Shaenon freaking out whenever the black oil makes an appearance. And of course, MULDER IS RIGHT! | |

The Abridged Series | |
| Monster of the Week (Webcomic) / int_fbc67d1d | comment |
The Abridged Series: Monster of the Week is basically the webcomic equivalent of this trope for The X-Files, often exaggerating character traits and plotlines for the sake of comedy along with satirizing/lampshading some of the weirder aspects of the series itself. | |

Comically Missing the Point: In Wetwired, after Paranoid!Scully suggests that Mulder should show the chip he wound in a cable box to "[his] cigarette-smoking friends", where does he go? | |
