Man, 15+ years later and I still hear Dominic in my head with the voice of Numbah 1 from Kids Next Door.

Won't lie, it's actually kind of fun going through the old comics even thought i don't remember most of this. Pretty sure I tapped out not too long after he started doing updates seven days a week.

"If I had a nickel every time a naked women I barely know started cuddling me while she was sleeping I would have two nickels--which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice"
-Snout, probably

Going back to the subject of reading, my first thought was, "Guys, of course Mookie reads! He has all the Dresdin Files books and has read them more than once." I honestly thought that was where the conversation was headed and I was prepared to be right.

The Ink Witch was still abusive, Snout being a magnet for abusive people doesn't absolve her.

Yeah, I wish I knew where he was going with this but at the same time I'm not sure I do? Doesn't help that this thing moves at such a snail's pace and who knows if any of these plot threads will get any sort of resolution (or development!) anytime soon.

Legosi is a good boy :kimchi: bummed Beastars ended

I definitely agree with whoever said (this was a while back) that they would have a lot of respect for mookie if he just came out and said that Legacy was mostly for himself and he was posting it in the hope that there might be someone else out there who got some enjoyment out of it...but at the end of the day it was definitely just for mookie's personally satisfaction as an artist. The idea that he's doing Legacy with an audience in mind is just...I dont know, it's kind of sad. Especially after seeing how little he's imporved or grown as an artist. Reminds me of a (former) friend of mine who was somewhat popular among our local con scene back in the 2000's and just never grew past that despite everyone else moving on and growing as people.

I wonder how much of this is Mookie working through his own issues rather than just trying to tell a very problematc story. Remember, this whole arc started when he had to take a trip to a cabin because

I can definitely see this being the case because otherwise I just come out of reading the updates like, "I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to feel about that?" and honestly it doesn't help that it feels like the story has changed track several times...or had a tenuous grasp of the track to begin with. Frankly, it's good that he has a creative outlet so that he can work through those issues in private

this is 100% a joke about Legacy's readership

This an objectively better comic in every way with just one minor change

God this is so much better in every way. It actually trusts the audience to understand what's going on.

Edit: with everyone dunking on Ready Player Two I think a point can be made that neither Mookie or Ernest Cline actually trust their audiences--Cline with his incredibly obvious references to the most popular movies/music of the 80's and Mookie with his, well...everything

I know the Deaf tag has been brought up to death but it loving sends me every time.

Look man, I'm nostalgic for the mid '00 con circuit, too, I just feel like there are better ways to express this that doesn't reveal deep-seated insecurities. poo poo dude, just buy a flourecent yellow wig from eBay and give it bad Naruto spikes or something.

Random thought: does slowbeef know about the existence of Legacy? I feel like I remember him posting a lot in the old thread.

Edit: nevermind, searching DD on Twitter reveals Hbomb telling him about it.

Fake edit: my god he's been doing this comic since 2019. That both seems too long and yet not long enough
