oh gently caress that's it isn't it. Legacy has just become Mookie's comfort corner self indulgence world. He is really horny lately so Snout gonna gently caress. He want a nice snack, mmm tasty vegan good boy treats. Lonely? Cuddle time cuddle time Mookie gets cuddle time! Covid has him lonely and frustrated and this is just 100% sublimation and he doesn't want to advance the plot because time in real life isn't advancing really, so time stagnates and everything just goes on a loop. The comic really started spinning its wheels when Covid hit, didn't it? It's a Dorian Gray kind of thing, the more Mookie's life stagnates and his social needs go unmet, the more Snout will spend all his time hanging out going fishing, being told he's a good soft gentle boy, getting glomps and cuddles, and blowing fat loads in cosplay girls witches he met at the con swamp.

She's waving. When you want to get someone's attention, you call their name and wave, so when they hear you and turn around, they will see who called them. What do you mean, this doesn't work with a Deaf person? Why not? When Mookie hears someone yell his name, he looks around and sees the person, so that's how it works for Snout! Also, Mookie knew Corpse Mommy wanted to give Snout a treat, so Snout knew he had to turn around!

You have thought about this too hard.

It's body language from anime. It's what the tomboyish and/or obnoxiously childish female character does when she enters a scene with the protagonist.

She just showed him a box and he shoved his face in it. Did she buy the whole box? Was she offering him just one? Was she going to share the rest of the box with the party?

Snout's hedonism consistently overrides his kindness and loyalty, between this and the chandak sex, and I wish I could believe this was setting up anything.

I get this icky feeling from how often we're shown Snout stuffing his face. It bothers me that we haven't seen him NOT like anything, but he's always doubtful that he'll like what he's being offered at first. And it just smacks of praising a toddler for trying new foods

Anytime Snouts behaves like an animal or a child I get super uncomfortable

I was going to say how does this comic spatially relate to the past several. But I guess I could always say that.

Yeah probably. And of COURSE Mookie is just going to introduce a new conflict instead of resolving anything with the previous villains. Or establishing their conflict to begin with, really.

I'm just glad something actually happened, and it gives us things to actually speculate on and talk about. Whatever happens next will inevitably be disappointing, but at least now there's things to say besides "Someone do something."

There's something very, very off about how that punching orc's body relates to the motion of his arm.

I think it's that there's these intense forward motion lines on his forearm but not his shoulder or body, when his forearm cannot move in that direction independently of the rest of him, or at least not independently of his upper arm. His entire body should have those speed lines, or he should be in a posture that actually communicates a punch and his entire arm should be blurred from the shoulder down, I guess?

It's uncanny.

The punch isn't the worst bit.

So he grabs Snout's left shoulder with his right hand while overtaking him on the left from behind, yet in the panel where Snout is being flung back his left hand is behind him.

This is such a basic issue with how the characters are spatially arranged.

Edit: not that the punch isn't poo poo on a very basic level:

Worth repeating that this is Mookie's grand experiment! Tell a story visually, without dialogue! And ignoring all the dialogue he chucks in anyway, he just CAN'T. This page doesn't follow from the last, which didn't follow from the last before that.

On the one hand, it's getting incoherent. On the other, I'd much prefer these confusing hard cuts to endless scenes of walking from place to place. Perhaps he's realised he has to pick up the pace somehow (hahaha, yeah, right) and is doing so the only way he knows how; really, really badly.
