I see you've never met my former colleague. Although she wouldn't do it for mashed potatoes with spaghetti or whatever this is.

Yep, it's for kids, just like the previous installment which featured someone calling a woman a slut and wanting to see her "other lips"!

As for people getting all orgasmic over food, it certainly comes up and and then in the r/relationships thread. Kind of understandable in Spookie's case, though, we know she's been having to order off the value menu like a peasant!

I think it's just a joke he likes repeating over and over - sort of like his "I'm a cool looking new character...but I don't know what to do! Uh oh!" thing.

I think Mookie's greatest fantasy is to eat good food. I bet it's been a long time since his diet has gotten him a good meal. He seems to be fixated on really good food but has no idea what it is.

I try not to do armchair psychology, but you're right that he keeps coming back to characters shouting about food in weirdly vague ways.

It would be one thing if he could draw amazing looking food or describe flavours but it's always just lumps and squiggles and horrible faces meant to denote pleasure.

No, it's someone telling him how good the food he made is in the way he portrays it in his comics. He wants to cook something and have people shout that this is the best thing they've ever eaten. Problem is, going by the blog entries, he's about as good a cook as a storyteller.

They're vegan mozzarella dumplings, which in this case means a giant ball of vegan mozzarella with nothing else.

I don't know if this is how he wishes people reacted to his food or if this is how he reacts to good food. Maybe mookie is just an annoyingly loud eater.

So wait, the brother still gave Spookie some cash after the whole thing? Because for all of Spookie's viciousness toward Pares, it's the getting paid part that she truly had a beef against. Mookie tries to square the circle, but the fact that one of his most beloved power fantasies is everyone bending over backward to take care of all the needs of his self-inserts is just messing up whatever point he wants to make.

Also, having the abused woman be the one to apologize for basically being soooooo emotional bugs the hell out of me. Merrill's dad shouted nasty poo poo at her one more time but she never got a chance to refute her dad and get any closure because Spookie just had to banish the dad for the high crime of being rude to her. If anything, Spookie's the one who should be apologizing here.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
That’s it?

Dude spends more time on the setup and the conclusion than he does the actual loving plot!

Imagine if Mookie made the Hunt for Red October. He would spend most of his time on the Jack Ryan buying a teddy bear and then like 2 minutes on finding the sub and bringing it to American waters.

Jack: I need to find the sub, where could it be? Oh there it is. And hey, we’re 5 minutes away from American waters! Take that Russian sub!

There’s no intrigue. No suspense! No risks! You spent the last week cleaning up the mess, and only 2-3 pages on the whole angry ghost!

This is why if you’re a writer, you need to plan. You need an outline!

I honestly can't tell if he's trying to depict a different outfit to emphasize that this is "off hours" or whatever. In addition to the different neckline, her hair is up and her sleeves are rolled up. And L'il Cape isn't wearing her little cape.

But, you know, I don't know how much intentionality it makes sense to ascribe to variations in the art. I couldn't loving tell you what spirit shepherd lady's nose is supposed to look like, for example.





And the length of her hair wobbles vaguely between "just reaches down to the small of her back" and "long enough to swirl dramatically around her hips".

Mookie's art manages to somehow simultaneously be "everyone has sameface" and "everyone is constantly slightly off-model". It's like the artistic equivalent of prosopagnosia or something.

No, no, I mean he hosed up the lines. If you look closely at the right side of the neck (where the curve connects to the straight line), you'll see it's a little too long and doesn't align with the one above her necklace.

I was interpreting that as Mookie trying to draw cleavage. But who the gently caress knows. Her neckline gets like six inches lower in the last panel compared to the panel directly above it.
