I mean, I'm not going to complain about finally moving towards establishing some concrete goals, stakes, antagonists, etc., but it's really funny to me how our nominal villains are constantly doing nefarious deeds somewhere else and also in the past. Also, that their first appearance in the story was in-person and in the present, when they abruptly and inexplicably showed up, shoved Snout, and erased his journal. Due to the way Mookie goes about improvising, he introduced them, and now years later has to figure out how to make them credible as villains.

My first thought when I was scrolling down and saw that lower left panel was "Why does Snout have his dick out?"

I'm not immediately sure that Snout has ever actually written about those two in his journal, so it's super funny that Jacob drew them instead of using their names. I'm also not entirely sure that Kaianda has ever been present and sane during the times they've been mentioned.

I will explain this as only a centuries-old necromancer could: I will use the universal language of scrapbooking. *gets out scissors and some really cute washi tape*

Pretty fitting that this comic is now only bearable because Jacob's in it. Still best character 200 years later.

And since Mookie knows Snout doesn't actually know their names and would only recognize them by appearance, Jacob knows that as well.

Wasn't Kikero killed by a necromatic vine thingy? I guess if Jacob knows ink magic then Other Ink Witch knows necromancy.

We assumed that she was killed by them but from the sounds of it the vines and/or the cabin necromancer just used her already dead body. That original assumption was just a very straightforward conclusion from what the story presented us: dead body, necromantic poo poo, latter did the former. Adding the villain duo in the mix feels convoluted, like an attempt to, having decided to up the pace of the story, tie loose plot threads together, consistency be damned.

Kikero's name gets read by my eyes as a variant of "kek" every time. I hate it. Also the annoying jester assassin from Skyrim. Look, I know there's other Ciceros, but shrieky murder man is more on Mookie's level.

Do we know how they got away? If I'm not mistaken, it was never actually revealed. For all we know, Mhorgs and Redactor dropped them off at Arudak's house and left.

These are the only things we know:   Mhorgs is supposed to be a super dangerous martial artist and people who encounter him tend to die... except Ink Witch and Arudak handily escaped them and came back into the story not looking the worse for wear. And Redactrix erased the ink from Snout's journal about that book he was trying to find... except Arudak had the original pages with him anyway. So in just two pages, Mookie completely neutralized whatever sense of threat those two are supposed to have. The only thing that's never revealed is why Ink Witch and Arudak never tried going back for Snout at all. They had an entire day or two to come back for him too.

I don't think mookie realised that by not explaining how Ink Witch and Arudak got away and with Snout getting out of it with just missing journal pages and being KO'd for a day he wrote his villains as very unthreatening. Why would we think these are the kind of people that kill and murder when it seems like none of the party members were in real danger at any point? So now that we are being told that they're murderers there's no "oh that tracks". They showed up, stole the spotlight for maybe 3 pages, and were immediately downplayed.

It also begs the question of why Snout survived given they even show surprise that he did - is this all leading up to him having been extremely strong and resilient the whole time?

Everyone, I think we’ve forgotten something important: Kaianda is Corpsemomdaughterwife, not just Corpsemomwife. It’s been a while since she got magically de-daughterfied but Mookie cannot escape this sin.

No, there's a reason why we assumed she was killed by them. Because that's what the comic showed us happening.  link due to naked womanI guess you could say that they threw her into the vines and that would still make them responsible for her death, but it's also equally likely Mookie forgot what he already drew.

We literally have more reasons to characterise Arudak or Main Ink Witch as bad guys than Mr Mullet and Other Ink Witch. I mean other than a random necromancer showing up for no discernible reason (the only reason anyone shows up in Legacy) and speculating that they might've done something. But of course just like Arudak saying in one panel "I believe our path may take us back to the Wild Edge" actually meant "everyone has absolutely decided that we're dropping everything and heading to the Wild Edge immediately", I'm pretty sure "I believe [Mr Mullet and Other Ink Witch] killed Kikero" means "[Mr Mullet and Other Ink Witch] absolutely unquestionably killed Kikero, everybody knows that".

Lmao, Snout is so lame and Jacob seems so cool in comparison, I think he's the only character in the ENTIRE comic who has treated Kandaia with even an ounce of respect.
