"He used a dream ritual on us but it made his face fall off." lol, that is really a line Mookie wrote and went 'Yes, okay, that's adequate.'

Don't you hate it when you do a dream ritual but then your face falls off?

Dabir posted:Occasionally interrupt the terrible sex to hand Snout notes with puns about his boner "It's what Dominic would have wanted" That made me realize: compared to the original DD, the number of puns in Legacy is basically non-existent. Did Mookie just lose interest in puns?

His format with puns (and alliteration for whatever reason) is (was?) that a character delivers it, the other character gets it, and they make a groany face. Having all the dialogue in-world be mediated through text probably kills his ability to insert jokes like that - just as it hinders pacing and dialogue more generally.

Kinda just realized if the comic was framed as Snout telling this story after it happened the no dialogue would work a lot better. Of course, that involves phrases like "I was so naive back then" or even "I had no idea what I was about to find" which requires planning ahead, so RIP.

That would require Mookie to think about how the story might end, and I suspect he often doesn't know how the page will end. Also, if the story were Snout writing about his adventure after the fact, every second or third chapter would be cutting to the present day for the comic's own coffee shop AU.

Even though I don't like the comic, I can honestly say there's value in having a comic you like all in one place in a book you can put in your backpack or whatever. Even if you can read it for free on the internet. Not this one, of course.

We've gone from travel sequences, to characters recapping events that just happened, to ads for the collections of the comic itself.

It depends on what he's asking. If it's a reasonable amount, he probably has enough fans who will make it happen.

I do not wish Mookie any ill will for this latest printing, but “the re-print of the second volume of the series I wrote ten years ago needs to hit higher goals than any previous publishing I’ve ever done” does not strike me as being well positioned for success

Unless the goal is super low, i dont expect his actual target audience being large enough or have deep enough pockets

He got 322 people to pledge $32K for the first omnibus 3 years ago. It doesn't take too many people to fund things if you have even a small following. Hell, Star Power had a $27K Kickstarter and not even Deegan fans like Star Power.

I thought that fourth panel was fake, I don't think he's ever drawn Snout and Arudak being that intimate. I was like, 'no way, that's two pictures spliced together'

Midnight Voyager posted:I don't understand how that page came after the previous page. Well, Arudak and Jacob were glaring at each other when Arudak was suddenly overcome with the memory of how good his wife's blowjobs were, so he had to do a dramatic pose. Jacob is used to this sort of crap and is patiently waiting for him to be done.

The hugging (and hey, male affection for once! We're starting to get some equality!) works as a continuation of Snout talking about the power of friendship, but the first panel is an awkward transition into that. Why is Arudak standing in the middle of town looking at a photo of his ex? He did the same thing in his tower so I have to assume this is something he regularly does whenever he wants to start sulking on demand. Jacob watching from a distance feels like non-sequitur but I'm waiting to see if Friday explains it. My theory is that Arudak asked Jacob if necromancy could bring back his hot dead ex and Jacob told him to gently caress off. Edit: oh also, honestly I don't even care that Mookie's selling physical copies of his comics, not even if he puts those ads front and center. Artists gotta do whatever they can to promote their work, and if someone's just casually glancing at the site every few days they might miss a banner or a blog post. And nostalgia is a powerful enough drug that I can see some people wanting physical copies of original DD. The only thing that bugs me is that any sales of Legacy would be benefiting off uncredited traces of other people's art. MiracleFlare fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Feb 15, 2023 |
