I can't tell if she's supposed to be covered in necrovines or ink because Mookie fell in love with one brush and now uses it for everything

I'm confused about scale is she huge? Also if that is ink, what are the odds that this is just a dream because Mookie fell asleep? Billy Gnosis fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Sep 27, 2021 |

If it was a dream he'd draw Snout naked because he never misses a chance to draw these dumb characters naked

i really like black and white art and have read many a black and white comic, and I gotta say Mookie has to be the absolute worst in terms of making what should be simple objects/scenes completely unintelligible through his refusal to even use a variety of brushes for different poo poo

New page is up - finally, the answers we've been looking for! Yes! We finally have the answer to the question of whether Snout's diary is ok! And what those symbols mean - we've NEVER had those explained before!

It's a good thing he had his diary to remind him of the meaning of these incredibly obscure and complex symbols.

Oh also the renewal spiral is backwards. You'd think that would mean something, but it probably doesn't.

i would prefer this as a speedrun, snout just bunnyhops out of the wild edge and uses the skip companions glitch to get to the end faster then he fucks up a jump and falls through the wall into the void below the level geometry, eternally

Hm, strange runes on the water, I wonder what...oh yeah, those are exactly the ones I already know. Identically literally every one of the exactly three runes I've seen before. Thank god the arcane symbolic language of the dream realm, through which we will unlock the secrets of a centuries-old mystery, is slightly less complicated than a deck of playing cards.

I love how 'endings' is just an X. These are some of the worst symbols I've ever seen, they are completely caught up in trying to express the thing they mean with maximum simplicity. Even an infinity sign, one of the most fundamental and straightforward symbols I can think of and which would fit into this set decently, is more dynamic than literally 'a cube means order, an X means stop'

SubG posted:To be fair, the symbol started out as a spiral, became an enso when shown written in Snout's diary (twice), and then became a spiral again. It's possible that Mookie simply isn't distinguishing between the two. Anyway, the first and as far as I can recall most complete set of the "dream symbols" or whatever is from when Snout and Ink Witch were busking for spare change in Mongreltown, and it was a spiral then: It's ok, mookie doesn't care.

Imagine taking notes in your dream magic class and then having to figure out if you wrote Expression or Mystery.

He's done it. Mookie has distilled his entire conception of narrative tension into three economical panels with a visible "phew" at the end. Someone call Scott McCloud.

I also just realized that panels 1 and 5 are traced from the same drawing of Snout. He's in the exact same position except for his face.

That stuff is boring. This is now the second time Snout's diary has seemingly been destroyed but turned out to be perfectly fine.

And also the symbols are literal symbols like letters and shapes, not like 'i dreamt of a rabbit running towards the rising sun' which is what most irl dream interpretation/symbolism stuff is like
