You think it's bad/boring now but the cliffhanger on Friday is gonna be the bog hag moneyshot just as Arudak, Ink Witch, and Kaianda walk around the corner to see it happen

If that happened it would be the first genuinely good and funny strip in Legacy, so it won't happen.

This feels like the last gasp of a desperate man. Like after two years he realized the hordes of adoring fans are not just over the horizon, there won't be a Dominic Deegan renaissance now or ever. And now that he's realized nobody's watching Mookie's gonna jerk it as hard and as disgusting as he possibly can.

That mouth is causing me mental havoc. The upper lip and tongue are clearly traced, and he's tracing from people who don't have tusks, so the tusks have no effect on the shape of the traced parts. But then he needs to account for the tusked lower jaw, so he draws a muppet mouth on a hinge because he appears to think that all underbites work like Hellboy (whose muppet mouth is a national treasure).

Every instance of her mouth in this scene is a baffling collision between traced porn lip and muppet jaw.

So many of the comics issues comes down too the fact that even after all these years Mookie still can't separate himself from his characters.

The constant glom...errr, hugging, people being naked all the damned time, and of course the unasked for naked snuggling.
These are things Mookie wants, so all of his characters want it too.

And the same thing goes for this sex scene.
He wants to have sex with an orc lady, Snout is the only perspective this comic follows, so Snout has sex with an orc lady.
And that's it, the fact that it doesn't fit in with his characters or this story, or the fact it's really gross for a number of reasons doesn't matter at all.
He wants to live vicariously through Snout and he'll trample over his own comic to achieve that.

SubG
Aug 19, 2004

It's a hard world for little things.
I think we also have to consider the very real possibility that everything is this bad "just" because Mookie is preternaturally bad at this.

Like keep in mind that the "story" is that the Deegan, one of the most powerful magicians that ever lived, did something to magic 200 years ago and Snout wants to figure out what happened. His companions are a magician that specialises in magic involving ink and a guy who's in the story because he had a bunch of magical pages that say something about all of this. So far the quest has gone looking for information on the legendary magician by...checking two public libraries and one retail bookstore. For books. Just regular, everyday books. Like not magic books. Not ancient grimoires of great power. Like mass-produced books.

The Ink Witch, whose whole thing is doing magic with ink, doesn't like have a spell that can take the ink from one book and find other books written with the same ink. She doesn't, I dunno, cast a spell that makes the ink give up information about the person who wrote a manuscript. Or whatever the gently caress. They don't go looking for, you know, magic books hidden in like the horde of an ancient dragon or the tomb of a powerful archlich. They don't go looking for the ruins of an ancient but now destroyed library, they don't consult any eccentric antiquarians, they don't follow a trail of clues that lead them on a globe-spanning adventure with dangerous adversaries hounding their footsteps. They ask the lady who happens to be behind the desk at the public library that day, and she hands them all the books they asked for.

That's literally the epic quest. The fact that the loving is gross, poorly drawn, and wildly out of place but otherwise boring is the least surprising thing ever because gross, poorly-drawn, out of place, and otherwise boring is the entire Deegan brand.

Hey, you're being totally unfair to Ink Witch the Ink Witch and her magical Ink Witch powers!

Remember that time she spoke too Snout through a piece of paper and used it too find other pages?
I mean sure, this didn't add anything and if anything robbed the story of a chance to show why Snout and Ink work well together and in fact made her come across as manipulative, but it was a spell that she cast!

Or how her dress is actually made out of ink, I mean, that's kind of cool, I guess.
She hasn't actually done anything interesting with it, like make a disguise out of it, and at one point she takes it off like a regular dress which makes me wonder if Mookie sometimes forgets it's supposed to be ink, but it's there!

Oh, and she can make ink drip readings.
Which she used to solve the incredible challenge of "How will our heroes make ten mongrel bucks" and then was never really used again.
But you can't expect someone writing a story centered around the worlds most powerful seer to be able to come up with a way to make readings compelling.

Oh, and then there's her ink jet.
It blew up an idiots house, which makes no sense from what we've seen of it later, which strongly suggest it was never meant to be an Ink spell until much later.
And it crashed in a lake, that was exciting, or, it would have been if anyone had been hurt, or if this wasn't where that they wanted to go anyways which means it could have just landed there and nothing would have changed.
But, it could have been exciting!

So yeah, she probably has dozens of interesting ways to use her magic, and I'm sure we'll see one of these ways any minute now.

Someone in this thread mentioned it before I think but you brought it up again so it's bothering me again. The book by Prento said that visions don't exist anymore for some reason. If people can't see the future anymore then what do ink drop readings actually do? Is it just like TV psychics who just make vague claims that could apply to anyone? Is it just completely made up, like fortune cookies?

I think in that specific case it's supposed to be like a fortune teller at a carnival, someone you pay purely for the entertainment value.
It's honestly hard for me to tell what the rules of this worlds magic are supposed to be exactly.
Like visions may not exist anymore, but can people still use other methods to predict the future in some vague way?

It's absolutely incredible how this comic has been updating three times a week for close to two and a half years now and so little about anything has been explained or shown.

I dunno, I think if that was intentional someone would have written the words "Ink Jet" in Snouts diary causing Snout to spend the final panel mugging for the camera.

If I remember correctly, "Visions" were the stuff that just happened, doing things intentionally was "scrying" or something. The original comic drew a line between them, they were different.

How, other than "visions just happen to you", was not clear.

You think that's cute? Find the drawings of the orc kids by the same artist.

Their representation of orcs are really unique, a lot of the time they're crudely drawn as having pig-like features, but in that comic they are pretty much pig-humans and very... Realistically? So.

It would be odd if Ink Witch's readings are supposed to be bullshit, since the unnamed sex chandak did more or less the same thing and everyone seems to take her pronouncements seriously. Like literally the same symbols only drawn using ink on the water instead of ink on paper:




I mean I guess we might be intended to understand the first thing to be nonsense and the second to be serious, but I don't think there's anything in how any of the characters behave that really suggests that.

Yeah, the division was just a way to show how special Dominic was. Scrying was something anyone could learn. Visions only happened for certain people. This was specifically to again denote Dominic's superiority to Celesto, who was a seer but not an Oracle.
