Many people are saying my hosting is the heart and soul of the show. You won't hear this from the lamestream comics journalists. But more and more people are saying it.

Snout is a literal child. He's on a long journey with people, over incredible vistas, and he's doodling bad poetry in a bored fashion in the back seat. What are the others up to? Who knows! Snout isn't paying attention to either them, or the outside world, or even reading something meaningful.

It's also hosed up that his childishness is really clearly tied to his deafness, that's just rancid. He's presented like a child tuning out what he doesn't care about, rather than an actively engaged adult in the company of adults who happens not to be able to hear.

gently caress man have them play cards or something this is awful. Being trapped in close quarters with his companions for many hours shouldn't be so dull. Also for someone whos supposed to be "curious" he sure isnt looking out the windows or asking any questions

I asked my spouse what they thought was happening in that update. They know nothing about this comic and I provided zero context.

"It's clearly some sort of transformation thing. She's turning from a mouse into some kind of cat/fish thing?"

Honestly, sounds like a more interesting story.

It's honestly hard not to interpret this comic as Mookie making fun of anyone actually reading it. I have never seen anyone waste their audience's time this loving aggressively.

The other three have just got to be considering throwing him out. Snout loving sucks as a character. He's got the brain of a child and that makes the naked cuddling even more gross.

This isn't endearing or funny. It's stupid.

Can you imagine sharing a ride with an adult man, having them spend half the time ignoring everyone else and writing in their book, only to start smearing their face on the glass without warning?

I'm guessing this is supposed to be charming due to his ~childish whimsy~ but it's genuinely just so loving weird. This is some next level poo poo.

The problem here is that mookie had an idea: what if my next story beat is a long boring flight, like those times you are in a plane or a road trip irl and at some point there's nothing really to do but wait to arrive at your destination? So he can't draw Snout having a sitdown with anyone because that wouldn't be writing the down-to-earth, relatable "boring flight" storyline he wanted to write. Now please ignore that those times of boredom in a real, actual relatable scenario would come after talking between the travelling friend group has happened and winded down. Or that centering the story on this relatable-feeling thing is still a loving narrative disaster.

Holy poo poo, Mookie.

Being deaf isn't the same as having a mental handicap, and while there's no shame in the latter Mookie's insistence on conflating the two feels downright awful. Bort was at least proficient in his native environment. Snout's done nothing but read his whole life, he should have at least a passing understanding of social cues.

Drawing a direct line between Snout's dumbshit dog boy antics and pages upon pages of wasting the reader's time was the perfect move to make Snout completely isufferable. And kudos, man. Dominic Deegan, Star Power, The Legacy, not one likable character between them. Mookie's only capable of writing bland props or heinous caricatures with no grey area in-between.

Snout doesn't care about them either. Like pretty sure they're SUPPOSED to be impressive vistas and he's tryign to flex his art muscles but snout doesn't give a poo poo, which makes their inclusion even weirder.

Hell, if you wanted this, do it in a couple of pages. Two or three panels of people talking and holding up papers at snout/by snout, without showing what theyr'e tlakign about, then the rest of the page is panels of snout looking out with gradually decreasing interest.

Beyond that Mookie made King Dave a hard working orphan who overthrew the monarchy and started democratic elections, the fiend! After failing to write an unlikable villain for the second time Mookie defaulted to the tried and true Fantasy Racist trope.

I don't think there ever was an evil plan because Mookie never made it clear who the real villain was: eldritch spaghetti monster or King Racist. It seemed to go back and forth who was subordinate to who probably because Mookie doesn't plan anything out.

that part owns because terraciano obviously thought making a beloved ruler a bad guy would be a twist, except he's the king if a country whose military committed war crimes, whose police force is known for its rampant violence, and whose system of law is chock full of loopholes to benefit the rich and powerful. him being beloved is a bigger twist than being cartoonishly evil ever could be, and if anything is a huge indictment of the callanian people.

of course the only reason he was beloved was because he was nice to miranda, so it's also a huge indictment of the entire deegan clan

It'd have been simple enough to establish that everyone but Snout is busy/asleep, or that Snout wanted some alone time on the trip, but it seems everyone's just acting like he doesn't exist. Some friends they are!

What the hell are those lumps all over Snout's shoulders? I swear they've been getting bigger and lumpier.

Also, if the ship is made of ink, how does it have a glass dome?
