Re characters being off model, hasn't Snout's asymmetrical features been swapped around a few times because Mookie copy-pasted and used the mirror tool?

I like how the ship apparently can't land but instead conveniently drops you 20 feet off the ground in a splatter of ink.

Just what we wanted, more crap about the ~~~~wonders of storytelling~~~~ instead of actual storytelling. Wasn't Snouty trying to find the Asinine Path of Dreamlands or whatever? What happened to that?

Synthbuttrange posted:So Snout and Plantgirl get chosen to help out because who better to fight someone who keeps stealing knowledge than two people who know nothing at all? :v That could actually be an interesting plot line (invoking the "holy fool" archetype), but it would clash with how Snout is meant to be book smart. And now Planty has caught the reading bug?

It's a small thing, but Snout's elbow spikes really bother me. Also, I keep wanting to call Snout "Mookie." Not only because of the self-insert aspect, but because he looks like a "Mookie," if that makes any sense. ScienceSeagull fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jul 28, 2021 |

Tag yourself, I'm Drip Fibber. Mutant Headcrab posted:Where the gently caress does Daisy or Berry come from? Everything else is poo poo she's done or onomatopeia for wet ink. I think Berry is because Snout made ink out of berries at some point. Never mind that Berry or Daisy would have been more fitting names for Corpseaianda the literal plant-person.

There's a condition called "maladaptive daydreaming," where people spend their days lost in elaborate, rambling wish-fulfillment fantasies. I think this comic is a maladaptive daydream written down.

It'd have been simple enough to establish that everyone but Snout is busy/asleep, or that Snout wanted some alone time on the trip, but it seems everyone's just acting like he doesn't exist. Some friends they are! What the hell are those lumps all over Snout's shoulders? I swear they've been getting bigger and lumpier. Also, if the ship is made of ink, how does it have a glass dome?

Everything about this comic is just so... noxious. It keeps finding new ways to be offensive and creepy, and seems all the worse for it since Mookie genuinely thinks that it's wholesome and progressive, that Snout is a sympathetic protagonist, and that this is a cute "aww they really do love each other!" moment.

Ah yes, Sunflower, the sunflower man who communicates by making people eat his seeds... SubG posted:One of the earliest extant Irish legal texts is the Bechbretha ("Bee Judgments") which outlines various guidelines for resolving disputes involving bees and beekeeping. For example, anyone who keeps a hive on their property owes a portion of the honey to the owners of the adjacent lands because the bees collect pollen from their property. It also covers how to divvy things up when you find a wild swarm, and mentions the historical precedent of an Irish king losing the throne after being blinded by a bee. You've heard of tree law, now get ready for bee law! Also, regarding tusks, I just want an excuse to post a pic of a male Chinese Water Deer, which has tusks to attract mates:

GreenMetalSun posted:Also it's weird that he like, refuses to talk (or write, whatever) to his friends. You would think, out of concern for his own safety and the safety of people he supposedly cares about, he would at least inquire about why the ship crashed. Did the Ink Witch lose control of it? Did the chandak sabotage it? Is it still safe to ride in? Is that just how it lands? Did losing control of it like that hurt the Ink Witch? gently caress, his defining trait is supposed to be his curiosity. I think he asked her but she didn't actually know, and said something like "maybe the lake did it, maybe Swampy crashed us on purpose, I don't understand her accent." Also, I bet Swampy is going to ask Snout to name her, too. Ugh.

If only we'd seen that book on mongrel folk mating rituals!

He doesn't seem particularly shocked and surprised at sprouting antlers and weird floppy shoulder spikes during sex, either, and you'd think that would elicit some sort of reaction. Did he know this was going to happen?

Emrikol posted:"Get hornt" is a typo with a certain Shakespearean quality. I think getting hornt is when you sprout spikes and antlers. Speaking of which, one reason I suspect this is all a dream is that I don't think Mookie would want to bother with changing his protagonist's character design.

Are we just going to get a nonsensical retcon every week now? Rotten Red Rod posted:
Maybe those antlers are his body's way of ejecting pathogens. They're solid virus and bacteria, probably should use hand sanitizer after touching them. Also just remembered, when is Snot going to tell Ink Witch that he named her Ink Witch? It would have made some sense to bring that up during the "my friends are sad and I want to help" bit.

SubG posted:Kinda like a political cartoon or whatever--if somebody wrote a story today which described, I dunno, Abraham Lincoln descending into Hell where an angel points out a portly "hippopotus" who has silly orange hair and insists that he was really meant for heaven but someone stole his place and then the angel tells Lincoln that this is the fate of his people...a reader encountering that today would have absolutely no trouble figuring out what was intended, but someone reading it a thousand years from now might end up wondering what a "hippopotus" is, whether it's a scribal error for "hippopotamus" or a distinct mythological beast, what the symbolism might mean in either case, and so on. I always knew Dante's Inferno was just one big political cartoon. Back to Mookie, I'm not clear on what the "legacy" even is. Are they trying to figure out how Dominic altered magic? Or what happened to him after he went to the dream realm? It doesn't seem that there's any big unsolved mystery-- we have the explanation in Dominic's own words, but he apparently sucks at writing clearly. Snout is meant to be intellectually curious and obsessed with this guy, but he knows little more than a list of bullet points.
