I love how the recap drives home how virtually nothing has happened over the course of two and a half years. I mean, they haven't made any actual progress towards their goal, not really. All they have is a list of names they should probably look into, and a book they need to figure out. Half of this is the information that's provided too the party by the exposition dump before they leave the first tavern "Hail and well met fighter, rogue, mage and cleric! I am the lord of yonder village and I have a quest for you! You must discover the legacy of a man known only as, Deegan. We knoweth little about him but we have uncovered the names of his apprentices so perhapeth you should seeketh them out first And here, taketh this book, I knoweth little of what it means, but I'm sure deciphering it will help you on your quest. Also alloweth me to bequeatheth this bag of gold so that you may purchaseth goods at the local general store. I strongly suggest you purchaseth at least 60 feet of rope, a flint and tinder box and no less than ten days worth of rations per party member!" Like, it's nothing, none of this knowledge Snout is writing here is remotely interesting, this is seriously just a quest log. And none of this information was gathered in a remotely exciting way, they got the book at a porn store and most of the info in either dreams or the public library. This whole comic is like the worlds worst endorsement for visiting your local public library.

SubG posted:The overwhelming majority of prophetic literature is ecclesiastics and academics talking poo poo about their posting enemies. Getting a bit off topic, but could you recommend me more about this? I'd love to read some annotated translations of prophetic visions that explain all off the in-jokes (or speculate about them, if we don't know).

That's going to be true for scholarly material on canonical and near-canonical texts (so including deuterocanon/apocrypha and pseudepigrapha) but once you start wandering afield into other prophetic/hermeneutic works it's a real crapshoot. I've got a printed edition of Agrippa's Three Books, for example, that includes voluminous footnotes and commentary which make numerous errors and which seem to be mostly informed by "occult lore" or whatever instead of, you know, actual scholarship. There's a wonderful English translation of the Zohar by Daniel Matt which includes extensive notes and commentary and they're generally quiet good but have a tendency to veer off into interpretation of the text through the lens of modern kabbalah instead of the text itself. And so on. If there's anything like a monolithic "general survey of prophetic literature" or whatever I don't know of it.

You’d think he’d ask Snout, they’re the pair in this comic with the most chemistry. And by that I mean ‘it is just barely non-negative,’ but.

This isn't just meaningless PORN tho, these are CHARACTERS in LOVE so it's WHOLESOME. They're not just boring faceless nobodies, this is ARUDAK, you know, the hunchbacked antagonist who was replaced by a character with an identical name and face and entirely different motivation and whose entire personality is now "I want my girlfriend back" and his girlfriend, who can forget her memorable traits like "is Arudak's girlfriend" and "sucked his dick good and hard from the back" I guess. Mookie just wants to draw porn I think but he's too scared to commit to it. Mookie, do it. Just do a porn comic. Just make characters and slam their genitals together and you'll be so much happier. Be honest with yourself.

Also "loved another" and therefore not worthy of resurrection. Not "I can't resurrect her", not "I can do it, but you won't like the consequences", just "I, a person you just met and you don't yet trust, told you your soulmate might have been unfaithful, and no other details" and he's like "well gently caress HER she can rot forever then!!!!!!!" By the way! No one loving addressed THAT in their "she made us come together" moment. It was all about loving Snout and the fact he was missing for one night. Hello? Your soulmate you were gonna bring back to life? The whole reason you came here? Not gonna unpack that? Oh, no, you're just jazzed Snout got some orc strange. Ok buddy.

Wow, it's a good thing Mookie didn't have Arudak tell Snout how good Orc women are with a hearty "Atta Boy" otherwise this might come across as kind of weird.

I want to think maybe Mookie wasn't thinking through the implications of how he phrased things, if only because it feels in conflict with Snot constantly talking about how awesome it is to very platonically hug and cuddle (naked) with people. Maybe he was trying to say physical intimacy was one of the important things Arudak misses. Maybe the thumbnail is just one of several panels and the twist is that it's not the sex he missed, it's them looking at sunrise together or something. But that's giving him way too much credit, and regardless of his intent he sure did make it look like the only thing Arudak's Fridged GF was good for was giving good head, lmao If this was a more clever author I'd wonder if this, in combination with what the chandak said, was foreshadowing that Arudak is looking through rose-tinted glasses at someone he had a passionate but shallow relationship with, and that his quest to revive her would end in tragedy because he only remembers his idealized fantasy and not the real Kazya. But that feels like too heavy a flaw to give to Arudak, who's now been reformed and pretty-fied so he can be a generic good guy. I'm not fixing that typo at the beginning btw Pulsarcat posted:Wow, it's a good thing Mookie didn't have Arudak tell Snout how good Orc women are with a hearty "Atta Boy" otherwise this might come across as kind of weird. I blocked that out of my memory and ughhhh

There's also still the not-yet-redacted-but-probably-forgotten claim that Arudak attempted to kill a Chandak he'd been intimate with.

Maybe he was trying to say physical intimacy was one of the important things Arudak misses. Yeah despite all the jokes, I think it's just him wording it very badly. If someone's SO dies and they were physically intimate together, it makes sense that that intimacy is one of the things they'd miss as part of missing that person just in general. That said, it is worded really badly. Plus it's incredibly easy to fix, as all it needs to make it better is the addition of the phrase "one of the reasons," that makes it clear that it's just part of everything he misses, rather than the current implication that he only misses the sex.

Yeah it's kinda hard to go for nuance when introducing the fact that she apparently gave great head more or less doubles the amount of information known about the character. Especially when the other half is "she's dead".

im not reading a word ofthat I feel like holding your head with your elbows braced on the table is a classic exasperation pose, but holding your head like that while hovering the elbows above the table is odd. Like I GISed 'holding head reading' and theres a ton of that exact pose, except the elbows are always in contact with table with the exception of a couple pics of people sitting on the floor with a book in their laps

problem with writing smart people is you can only make them as smart as you are. When the deepest you know of mysticism is anime then I guess "if you think you can't do it you can't" sounds pretty confusing I guess?
