It is legitimately a missed opportunity that they didn't all just pick up the Chandrak and stick her to the high bit of the fridge with a magnet. "Oh wow Snout, you sure did beat that pussy up and please the hell out of her, you just did a great job and company definitely needs to be able to see it".

That's such a terrible way to write a narrative, constantly running interference on your own work as a response to criticism in real time. It's also hilarious to watch, so who's to say if it's good or bad? (It's bad)

Who besides this thread is even reading and criticizing? I don't want to do that "Mookie is secretly reading this thread!" thing, but IS he secretly reading this thread? I swear to God, he's getting a bunch of his ideas from here, like the horrible protrusions that differentiate platonic naked snuggling from sexuality.

Was this done on purpose? Is Arudak's comment supposed to be a callback to Mookie's patreon drawings?

Glad to see that Mookie is still, decades later, committed to the ideology of "These people are my main characters and thus are Good Guys and everything they do must be good because they're the Good Guys. If they do something that seems bad, it's not. It was Good and they are Good."

Nope she was immediately fixed when Snout found that flower, which included relearning language and writing skills. No, I am not joking.

Snout was (poorly) teaching her how to read and write while they were wandering around, before they met up with Ink Witch in Maltak.

Yes but this has nothing to do with that, she just spontaneously was able to converse fluently after she got magically fixed. The only issue is that she has a heavy accent. Snout's patience made her "calm down" but it has nothing to do with her recovery of language.

It's a hard world for little things.
And in addition to...everything else...about this:

His friends didn't react, like at all, to the fact that he apparently literally transforms into a Demon of gently caress (or whatever) when his dick gets hard. Which, you know, is apparently a big deal for Snout (even though it apparently Happens All The Time...despite this being the first time it's been mentioned in the two and a half years the comic's been running) and it's clearly a Big Reveal for the comic itself (as in insofar as we can ascribe a "point" to this arc at all, that appears to be it).

Like if I just kinda casually mentioned to a circle of my friends that the reason I ditched them the night before was because I was a fuckin' were-satyr on the prowl or whatever, I'd kinda expect them to have some questions or comments even if were-satyrs were perfectly normal things everyone knows about. And, you know, in a better narrative this would be a great way (graded on a very steep curve) to establish something about the characters--who is going to be totally nonchalant ("Huh. Okay."), who is going to freak the gently caress out ("You're a Demon of gently caress? Why the gently caress didn't you tell us!"), who's going to suddenly have a lot of questions ("I had no idea. Waaaaaait...that night back at the tower when you disappeared all night....? Or wait! Did you and that librarian....?"). And so on.

But of course what's important to the characters is indistinguishable to what is important to Mookie and if there is anything Legacy makes clear it's that thinking about this kind of poo poo is absolutely not what's important to Mookie.

Rotten Red Rod

Yeah I have no idea if the transformation is supposed to be a major plot point or just a weird thing Mookie threw in. It seemed like a major event at the time, but then afterwards Snout didn't seem that phased by it, so... I guess it's not?

I'm going to give Mookie a single break: I'm mildly impressed at how neat his handwriting is, and that he has a few noticeably different "fonts", even if slightly.

There's just enough variation that I do think he's still doing it by hand.

I don't know if we'll ever get an explanation within the fiction, but I absolutely think that the real-world reason is to provide objective and retroactive proof that Snout's routine nudity and naked cuddling are nonsexual.

Frog puns are toadally awesome


I keep waiting for a point where the thread dies down to restart, but drat if Mookie hasn't kept this place jumping.

I haven't really had more to say on the comic in a while. I just find Snout's portrayal, mixed with this explicit sex, so jarring and creepy. Even more so now that once again it feels like his entourage are more carers for someone with a developmental delay than friends. I struggle to write that because it sounds like I'm trying to insult snout, but I'm not! This genuinely feels like a parody of mental handicap, where the protagonist has sex adventures cheered on by his babysitters. It actually sort of skeeves me out.

And, if the purpose of the Chandak was to reveal weaknesses, then Snout should obviously have failed. If Asinotaph can play on insecurities, why wouldn't it play on desires (which can and are related to insecurities)? A good story, while cutting to black, could include something like this, but as a sign that Snout's psyche isn't ready for plumbing the depths (:haw:) of the dreamrealm
