You know what this reminds me of?

You know those stories where the parents are fighting and the kid runs away?
The kid goes on an adventure with like pirates and learns about the magic of reading or something.
Then they come home and their parents were so worried they stopped fighting since their kid going missing put all their problems into perspective.

It's like that.
The same way Mookie framed a soulless vine clone having night terrors as her being a fussy baby, he's framed Snout going off and having nasty swamp sex as him running away from home and worrying his mom and dad.

I don't think this was intentional, but it's there and I don't like it!

Oh no, he'll never survive on his own!

Except for his entire life before he met Ink Witch.

And the time she blew up his house and made him run around on a wild goose chase for her while homeless.

And when the orc guy cast a sleep spell on him and left him for dead.

And after they ditched him after the bad guys did [SCENE MISSING] to them.

And when corpsemom was entirely dependent on him for a long period of time.

I still can't get over the complete lack of engagement he gets on Twitter. I have not seen a "professional" artist get so bad engagement numbers. I've seen hobby artists get 50, 100 likes on things. 10 notes on a post is just, that's just incredible.

I don't think it's unreasonable for friends to be worried if one of them suddenly vanished all night, apparently without telling anyone where he was going or that he was even leaving, but the way they glomp and fret over Snout like they either sorely missed him or thought he was in grave danger is weird. Did everyone suddenly remember Redactor and One Punch Orc are out there supposedly being threats? Because that's the only thing I can think of that could make them worry that much. Well, that or the dichotomy of Snout being both a fragile soul who needs constant support and reassurance, and a pillar of strength who is the support carrying everyone's burdens.

They haven't even been mentioned since they were at the orc's house. I'm not even sure MOOKIE remembers them.

Hell, we still don't even know what they even DID to Ink Witch and orc guy! They just punched out Snout, everyone disappeared, and then later Ink Witch appeared in his dreams going "hey sup, this is where we are now and for some reason we didn't bring you with us despite being totally unharmed".

And then he wandered "west" and found a loving portkey to exactly the right spot but that's off topic

That's fair, I never understood twitter being the new hit art platform. It doesn't even have a gallery mode? It's only infinite scrolling. And it's the website where world leaders threaten one another and the sidebar is full of misery updates.

When Snout was in Mongreltown and wandered off he spent a week or two just bumbling into one misfortune after another, and I think it warped Mookie's idea of Snout in his mind. Now he's this poor soft widdle boi who'll be ripped apart by the world the second you let him out of sight, forget that he's already killed two monsters back in the Wild Edge.

Twitter is the new everything platform, not because it does anything particularly well (objectively, it does everything people use it for terribly) but because it's the place where everyone happens to be.

Both of those were accidents, with the creatures in question killing themselves in their own efforts to get at Snout.

The one thing that Snout actually did manage was sussing out that the pagefinder was a lie.

The most unrealistic part about this page is everyone crowding around Snout wanting to be close to him. The guy looks like on a regular day he smells really unpleasant. Add to that now the smell of D&D monster cum and bog hag body secretions and it's probably quite the melange.

That's only because the explanation of the pagefinder spell had a sentence that said "This spell cannot talk to people" in bold, despite there being no reason to have that sentence in the description.

I also remember some weird fetish bee lady comic or something with bees from the old bad webcomics threads that had faces at least as horrifying. Although all the art was terrible in that one. While IIRC, Moon Over June is reasonably competently drawn besides the faces?

Actually, now that you say it, I think I may legit have never seen a Moon Over June strip, or even full panel. Just faces. So yeah. Not sure why I seems to think it was otherwise okay.

Is the grotesque sex* in MoJ at least between consenting adults who are not presented as mentally equivalent to children and thus unable to meaningfully consent and giving the entire ordeal a predatory and nightmarish vibe? Because, like, yeah. Mookie's weird sex hang-ups were gross and horrible and morally unacceptable but at least something I think I had a high tolerance for due to growing up watching anime and recognizing and knowing those lovely tropes. But our main character being coded as a child and then having him gently caress is kind of yeeeesh

*I mean by definition sex must be between consenting adults of sound mind because otherwise it is not sex, it is rape, but you know what I mean.

I genuinely have not read a ton of MoJ due to it being horrible but iirc the main two are often quite predatory and are shown luring random people like real estate agents or w/e into 3somes so idk, also there was a storyline where one character had to go on chemo and have a mastectomy and the only result was the artist had a story-relevant excuse to keep the character super skinny but give her comical beach ball sized implants so she looks like a tarted up crypt keeper

For some horrible reason, I decided to check, and shockingly, the current page of MoJ is somehow SFW. Well, as SFW as those horrors wearing human flesh can ever be.


The one before that, well, that's very much not. I don't know the context but it appears to go from a serious "end of legal troubles" zoom call to a wild sex party involving a trans character, multiple tablets and screens, a bottle of champagne, and professional AV equipment (because they're porn actors? I think? I don't recall.) I will not be reading further back.

It's come up in this thread before, I vaguely remembered it being called Once Stung and a google search of that confirmed this. And yes, it's not just the faces that are terrible in that one, every character seems like they're half stick figure.

True, I was being a little generous since while he doesn't actively try to stop those creatures he's at least participating. It's a step up from the spineless little worm of a man that he is now.
