I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed edit: For the new page Rotten Red Rod posted:
I hate that placid "awww how sweet, everything's gonna be okay" look. I hate that this is the second time the chandak's given a knowing look to Snout like somehow this good thing is all her doing. I hate that Kaianda finally appeared again for a background joke about the seaweed. MiracleFlare fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Mar 9, 2022 |

Also what the gently caress is up with the bog witch, is she a villlain trying to gently caress up their friendship and failing? She's been responsible for three separate conflicts now (or potential conflicts, at least). If that was the case it'd honestly be a pretty funny recurring gag, but then twice now she's done the wistfully staring proudly thing so I just honestly have no idea what Mookie was going for.

These are absolutely the Challenges that are stifling Snout's progress.

No, she presents Snout with challenge symbols to overcome. There was the challenge where he wondered for a second if his friends were useless, then got distracted by nummy veggies. Then there was the challenge where he wanted to cheer up his friends, but got distracted by swamp sex and felt bad about it for a second, then everybody hugged and high-fived him. Now we had the challenge where he saw his friend be violent, which is bad, but he remembered that Arudak is a good guy and hugged him, conflict resolved. (Orc nazis? What orc nazis? The conflict was never about those.) Or possibly this is still part of the original "your friends are holding you back with their problems" challenge. Snout has already managed to snap them out of their sadfaces by loving the swamp orc, now he solved Arudak's wife issue. Next thing he will solve Kaianda's soul problem by hugging her, then he will hug Ink Witch, which solves whatever problem she has, and then he will have some vision thing that tells him where the plot is. Or, if Mookie needs to draw this out even further, he could have a dream vision after every challenge. That would probably hold him over until the new year.

I was wondering what the significance of the envelope Kaianda was looking into was and who the letter was from. Then I realized it was supposed to be the box of seaweed snacks, not an envelope. Seriously that is some non-euclidian poo poo going on with that box and she's not holding it like how a human person would hold a box.

Lol yeah. Too bad it's likely just a one off gag that's totally divorced from her normal character. They'll probably be hugging it out together again in a page or two.

Jeez that tweet, Mookie getting out ahead of the "minor webcomic celebrity sent me creepy DMs" accusation by no longer being a minor webcomic celebrity. Every face in the new one is progressively worse in context. From pouty Snout to frowning Arudak to Caianda who is looking at the empty box of seaweed snacks I guess to the bog nonce and mommy's smirks what are they happy about

Moola posted:also I'm stilling vomiting from Mookiesters tweeting about "playmates" Seriously, there's nothing wrong with nonmonogamy, but it's super weird to brag about it. The message is basically "look how cool and special my relationship is *tips fedora*" and "please please please won't someone gently caress meeee". It's also (possibly) a breach of trust with your current partner to broadcast your open relationship to the entire internet.

Don't forget he posted it on International Women's Day. How can I make it about me without realizing it is a very Mookie thing (or at least his persona / Snout is that he wouldn't know he is doing that)

MiracleFlare posted:Y'know, lately I've wondered what a re-read of Something Positive would be like. It was mired in edgy 00s humor, to the point where its most famous running joke was rapist rednecks. I wouldn't expect anyone to forgive the author for that or for any of the numerous times where bigotry, slurs, and abuse were the punchline. And yet when I look at the site today, it seems... okay? The art's barely changed in the past decade and half the comics are characters just standing around talking in a void. But the punching down is gone and replaced with the cast growing up into the responsibilities of family and work, and navigating mental health and loss of loved ones in today's world. The latest big subplot was Davan learning his dead best friend had a daughter and her visiting him for Christmas to learn more about her father, giving them both peace. And plus, people seemed pretty happy when the author did guest strips for Popeye comics a while back.

If we're talking about comparable better storylines, here's a friend breakup in Octopus Pie. MAJOR SPOILERS if you plan on reading OP. Which you should: Suffice it to say, this one sticks, instead of being resolved 1 page later.

 Arudak's reason for joining the racist orc group? Because one Callanian was mean to him. Yeah. That's why racism happens. It's not systemic or culture. It's because one member of that race was mean to you.
