It's either this or a sudden plot reveal that Mookie is convinced Snout totally earned and worked for, but is actually super arbitrary.

Or comedy option "LUNA" again

Also, with the sacred feminine being used, this better not become TERFy.

I wouldn't worry about this, mookie's too attached to his progressive credentials to fall down that rabbit hole, not in a public way in any case. If it turns out weird and cringe it's going to be out of ineptitude rather than malice.

Given Luna was rendered infertile and it didn't change her womanhood in the Deegan universe, I don't think Mookie would be using her femininity for TERF arguments.

Meanwhile, the cycle continues. I am legit thinking he's painted himself into a corner and is trying to come up with new ways to delay while he thinks of a way to progress the story.

ah, he successfully sought luna by having that vision and orcmommy telling him she's the spiral (renewal)

we will surely not get multiple diary entry pages of "what is the sacred feminine? what is the spiral? who is luna to dominic?"

She literally could have told him this at any time instead of loving around, apparently

Snout and co are apparently seeking knowledge that isn't hidden at all, just held by very annoying people

We're three months away from three years of this comic and I think Mookie's still trying to figure out what the story even is. I don't think he thought of anything in advance at all. I think he sat down to write a sequel to his comic without a single thought as to what the plot was going to be.

Further, I think he's struggling to come up with a plot because because of his absolutely pathological avoidance of conflict, or even anything resembling deliberate action on the part of his protagonists. I have never seen anyone this committed to total and absolute unambitiousness.

It's also really hard to tell a story when you have no dialog. Not impossible, but it takes a certain level of skill that Mookie doesn't have. And if you're trying to tell a story about a fantasy world with Orc Nazis and different kingdoms, that just adds to the complexity.

So because nobody can say anything, we get these comics filled with people awkwardly fumbling about until we get the next text dump. And all that does is kill the momentum because we have to reflect on what just happened so everyone knew what happened.

If Mookie abandoned his asinine experiment, he might be able to keep the story moving.

snout also tapped into his own "sacred feminine" despite having a dick so it seems unlikely terraciano's saying only cis women get to do that

if there is one thing i would give terraciano slight credit for, in the original run of dominic deegan he actually somewhat tried to interrogate his own disgust at cosmetic surgery (projected onto "alterists" and their patients) after learning the importance that surgery has to many trans people in
a later story arc. but not too much credit because that same arc still has a punchline of "but people who get cosmetic surgery or are into body alterations outside of the one case i consider acceptable are still huge weirdo freaks"

It's going to turn out that, after all of the visions and dreams and poo poo, Dominic is literally in a physical place that you can teleport to once you know about it. It's the only way that Snout can get there without having to actually acquire any special abilities of his own.

So which artist has more naked contempt for their craft: Mookie or Tom Preston?

Dabir
Nov 10, 2012

I think Mookie loves his craft, but it's that creepy one sided love where the craft doesn't like him or really know he exists and he doesn't actually engage with it in any way, just the idea of it. He's a stalker, but for the entire medium of webcomics.

Twelve by Pies
May 4, 2012

Again a very likpatous story
I agree that Mookie loves making comics, he just seems like he doesn't love making this comic. Someone brought up that he wishes he could keep doing Star Power so it's obvious he really liked that one, and if he continued he'd probably actually have plots and things happening and such. This feels like a side project he's just doing so he can say "Hey guys I'm sill relevant and making comics!" but he's doing it out of obligation while secretly wanting to find something better.

He also probably would be enjoying making this much more if he dropped the "no dialog thought/speech bubbles" restriction which would make the story he wants to tell easier and better (not saying it would be good, but it would be better), but I think he feels like if he drops that it would be admitting "I'm not good enough to do this" and he doesn't want to admit that.
