I've been thinking about how Deegan and Kevin and Kell (of newspaper comics fame) stack up. Both of them have a long history of poo poo just thrown at their respective worlds by the authors and its just gets added to the pile that forms the world's lore. Its kind of funny that the fantasy world one ended up stupid and boring while the fuzzy animal one turns into a horrific nightmare existence.

Beelzebufo posted:I also hate how these women's insecurities manifests in spite of their obvious competence. The clutzy girl with insecurities may be a cliché, but I prefer it to these women who are amazing sorcerors or battle hardened assassins, but explode out in tears and teenaged angst as soon as Dominic is around. Yeah, it makes me think of Joss Whedon's women. It seems to me that (with the possible exception of Miranda so far?) women in Dominic Deegan are just victims with varying degrees of competence. When push comes to shove and they see the truth, they all can do nothing more than cower and weep before their speedo attired seerperhero.

It's so loving funny that the ship is crashing and yet the reality of there being three other people on the ship with him isn't acknowledged at all. It's too bad he wasn't paying attention to anyone else or he might have seen what lead up to this situation.

We will see a diary entry where Snout writes about how the ship has crashed and he's somehow okay. The implication is that instead of looking for his friends and seeing if they're in need of medical attention or in danger from where they were thrown, that he ignored them and sat down to write in his diary.

My money's on "Snout drifted off to sleep and this is another dream sequence" tbh. Mookie doesn't usually do the panel border interactions in normal space, and the panel border in panel 1 was cracking up. I guess it could be just showing the ink ship cracking, but I'm going with dream sequence that's prophetic, he tries to warn the others but they don't believe him because prophecy is dead, then they start to crash for real but are prepared because of Snout's dream.

You're inferring a degree of consistency to Mookie's intent that I'm not sure is warranted.

What a pretentious fuckwit. "I made it boring on purpose, I'm so clever!" I mean, it's still boring, though. E: it's possible to depict boredom without actually being boring, and that would be an achievement, but no, mr. big brain over here decided he would purposely make a boring comic and then gloat about it.

It's not "getting outside your comfort zone" if you literally chose to do it because it was easier. He literally says the landscapes are quick and relaxing to draw, and then he decided to add Snout, removing any sort of uniqueness or novelty pure landscapes would have and just making it like the rest of the comic. And that's not even taking into account how many Snout images were reused - I'd say this was squarely inside his comfort zone, and the only "experiment" was on the reader's patience. He should have just taken a week or two off. It's not like this comic's release scheduled is connected to his Patreon...!

Still loving that at no point does Mookie or Snout ever think of the possibility of interacting with the people nearby who are theoretically his friends.

God I'm so mad I'm going to come back and comment again. Goons: "This comic is so boring." Mookie, an intellectual: "Ah, you fools, you imbeciles, you simpletons!! You've fallen for one of the classic blunders!! You see, I made it boring on purpose!!!!!" Author's intent only goes so far, but the author's intent was to be boring ON PURPOSE so that you, the reader, are ALSO BORED, and he thought this would be good and compelling fiction.
