Yeah perversely this part is kind of interesting because now the out-of-nowhere sex scene and accompanying dream sequence are over and Mookie just realized "Hmm that was a bit odd" so he's trying to explain it.

Yes*, but Snout didn't know they were there in Mongreltown. There's, like... nobody he could have hosed before unless he was getting it on with the librarian.

There's a joke among NaNoWriMo writers that if your story's slowing down and you're at a loss of how to proceed, just have ninjas suddenly appear and attack everyone. Now you can pad out the word count with an action scene and the characters wondering what just happened!

This is kind of like that: When you're stuck in your story, have your lead explode into horns and gently caress a lake witch.

If it happens every time he pops a boner, does he file them down like Hellboy does, or did Mookie literally not think about how he would have had the scars/horn stumps before? Is this the first time in his life Snout has gotten hard? Did he come up with this and shoehorn it in?

The gently caress is this comic?

This page is trying to claim otherwise with the "this happens every time" thing but Snout was literally having naked cuddles with what is probably supposed to be an attractive lady before and showed zero interest, and lived alone and didn't even know the nearest city existed. It is completely consistent with the rest of the comic that this is the first time Snout has had any sex or been interested in having any sex, and the claims it's happened before aren't.

It feels like Mookie saw some criticism somewhere about the whole "this is a weird childlike character who was literally licking windows bored on a car trip instead of talking to people and has shown zero interest in sex before" and is doing the damage control equivalent of trying to tape a severed limb back on with a bandaid.

Absolutely amazing. This is a way better trainwreck than Deegan, to be honest. At least with that, you had the excuse that it was written by a young-ish dude who hadn't consumed any media outside of early 2000s anime in his life.

Mookie got so uncontrollably horny that he had to have Snout gently caress right this second, and now he’s gotta try and pretend that it was totally normal and not at all weird for everyone involved. Is Snout gonna keep the horn stumps so Mookie can pretend he’s a satyr now?

I don't know how you manage to draw a naked person looking so much like they're wearing clothes. I am not a good artist by any means, Mookie probably has some ability on me, but I don't think I've ever managed to draw skin in a way that looks like fabric or leather.

Rotten Red Rod

Haha he's really going that direction, huh? What an asspull. And clearly Mookie has never had sex he regrets, since in reality the realization and shame comes, like, 2 seconds after you come, not after you've romantically cuddled and fallen asleep with the person.

Or is that just me? Maybe that's just me. Anyway, I'm sure this plot element that was TOTALLY a thing that existed before this moment will be super important now! Uh huh!

I was also about to bail on this but holy poo poo

Mookie really did just get horny and it bled through and now he's realized wait poo poo this doesn't make sense I gotta try and fix this

the comic has no plot it's just a reflection of Mookies current train of thought

when he misses glomping at cons it's about soft boy cuddles when he feels bad it's about how Snout is sad and everyone needs to cheer him up when he's on a vacation in a cabin it's about being in a cabin when he's horny reality and the past rebuild themselves to suddenly justify sex

Something something the implications of depicting sex as leaving physical and presumably undesirable permanent evidence on the body is incel logic.

I for one cannot wait for Snout to get publicly slutshamed while his friends defend him by saying he's not a slut.

I love this comic so much.
Given the whole state of the world and that I have no idea if I'll be alive this time next year and, if I am, whether I should count myself as one of the lucky ones or one of the unlucky ones, my anxiety and depression have been pretty bad lately. But goddamn if Mookie's little opus doesn't cheer me up every time and just brighten up my day.

I don't think any of us could produce edits half as brilliant as the poo poo Mookie churns out. Like every single strip is more or less Loss.jpg; something incredible and entertaining and engaging but for none of the reasons the author intended.

FlocksOfMice posted:

That's how it always has been, since well into OG Deegan, even. Mookie does not write in the way any other writer writes; he just dumps his creepy id, pure and unfiltered, out on the page. It's loving awesome.

Ugh, this is all a set up to make this not Snout's fault, isn't it? The blame will lie squarely on the evil temptress bog witch and Snout's horny side that he JUST CAN'T CONTROL!!!!

This was my impression as well. He saw people say that it's weird that he's just having Snout gently caress out of nowhere given his previous behaviour, and now he's being like "actually snout isn't childlike, actually snout fucks, actually snout has embarrassing regrettable sex all the time, checkmate detractors" even though for the last several chapters he's been writing snout as someone who finds basic physical intimacy novel and new.

I loving love this comic, lmao "horny" because he grew horns

Are we supposed to take the pun at face value? That every time he's snuggled naked w the mommies he wasn't actually horny because he didn't morph? Is "every time" this one time because it's the first time it's happened? Are we supposed to believe this entire adventure snout's been leaving to gently caress his horns off periodically?

I think it implies that he's had sex or gotten horny BEFORE the comic, which is literally the first piece of information we have about Snout's life before the comic. Let that sink in.

He is absolutely reading a critic thread somewhere. Maybe not us, maybe GitP or something but he does his 3 strips each week then looks at reactions and tries to own the people calling him gross.

That the basic math for his ideas hasn’t matured since DD really shows you how little interest Mookie has in his own artistic growth. Criticism is a core part of improving, but none of that for mister Terracciano

If I didn't know that Mookie thinks Snout is cutest most lovable scamp there is I'd think this was a parody of scumbag softbois. The "totally platonic" cuddling, this "UwU can't help myself" bullshit with the sex, the way he has no consideration for his friends or even seems to realize they're there. It's so much. Dominic Deegan was a smug, unlikable creep but Snout is just vile.

"You aren't responsible for doing bad sex stuff if an outside force 'makes' you do it" is pretty traditional Mookie, right? It shouldn't be surprising.
