At least I THINK that's what's happening. Why would he only start doing that on page 3 if so? Edit: you got me. Good job. Teaches me to actually look at the site first.

Did Mookie just enable the "mobile site only" option or something, or is this only happening for me? His site is suddenly loading in that mode for me on a browser, and it zooms way to in to the comic and makes it look all blurry and crappy. ... Well, crappier than usual, anyway.

Weird. Well, it's not the first time a site has gotten stuck on mobile mode only for my computer with no explanation. I expect it'll work itself out.

I guess you could say that magic had died out in FF6...? But that's the status quo, before the game begins. One of the central story beats (and mechanics) of the game is the Empire and your party wielding magic for the first time in a long time. Edit: I forgot, yeah, magic does die when you kill Kefka at the end, because he had absorbed the gods of magic and became them. The game is kind of a blur for me after you enter the World of Ruin. Square was pretty smart about it though, no matter if you followed those details of the plot or not, the game was pretty character-focused and took a lot of cues from Star Wars in that regard. The highs of the story come stem the characters you care about, not about the nitpicky details of the macguffin. Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jul 5, 2019 |

I seem to remember a character that looked like her appeared in the initial preview image for this, so I'm gonna guess she's not actually dead.

Oh look, he established AGAIN that Snout is deaf. On... A library card? They require you to list your disabilities on them in this world? Ok... Awkward choice, but still a better way to establish his deafness than before. But yeah I'm grasping at straws, so far this is just... Benign.

I think my favorite part about this page is the "library" that will last exactly until the first time it rains. I mean, I guess it's supposed to be funny that it's so slapdash, but... I mean, come on, just put it in a cave, or crappy hut, or... I dunno, something, anything clever or interesting. Did Mookie just not want to draw a building?

As far as I can tell, Snout saw the name Dominic Deegan, and this shocked him because he'd seen it somewhere before, and that somewhere seems to be this book. WHY it's so shocking to him, and why it was so important he haul rear end to the

Supposedly this entire storyline will be completely without dialogue: http://www.dominic-deegan.com/about-dominic-deegan/quote:The Legacy of Dominic Deegan is set 200 years after the events of Oracle for Hire. A deaf mongrelman called Snout stumbles upon a mysterious scrap of paper, and his curiosity drives him to search for clues regarding an obscure librarian from a centuries-old city across the world. Snout must determine if he can trust what he sees, reads, and learns in his quest for the untold fate of Dominic Deegan. Dunno if that means it's just a short one-shot or if he's committed to an entirely new epic storyline without any dialogue.

There's a new page but don't bother, the story is not advanced at all and nothing is explained. The most notable thing about this page is that Snout's, uh, snout, looks completely different in every panel. Mookie's only consistency as an artist is his inconsistency.

Yeah it's clear how tortured Mookie's art is when he actually has to try. Take an anatomy class or two, duder. I even hate his signature. It's like the way an 8 year old might sign things because he thinks it looks cool that way, but will spent minutes getting it JUST right instead of just banging it out.

Is his art getting worse or is it just because he's attempting to go outside of his comfort zone of side view talking heads?

I don't know why I'm focusing on this, but the basket is weirding me out. I have so many questions about it. - Why does he put her in the basket instead of just carrying her? All he did was add an extra step. - Why does it change sizes three times? On the last page it was medium size, at the beginning of this page it became tiny, and by the end of the page it's big enough for her. (Ok, I know the answer to this one.) - What was he even doing with the basket? There's nothing outside on the DBZ plain he lives on and the basket started empty. Is he collecting rocks? Does he eat 40 pounds of grass for every meal?

Ahahahahaha no dialogue in this story, right right Only took him, what, a dozen pages to introduce a character that inherently can get around that limitation with no trouble at all? How long before he figures out a magical way for Snout to converse back? Also, things in Snout's house: - basket - bedroll - pillow - nothing else

Star Power? It's still going. It's currently in the middle of a successful kickstarter for a printed book. I guess it's just too boring for anyone here to care about, I know I got like 5 pages in and completely lost interest. There might be some of his trademark storytelling in there, but maybe it's the competent art that just keeps it from being a compelling trainwreck? I dunno, if someone else wants to dig into it to see if there's anything there, go for it.

paranoid randroid posted:how is mookie still around, didnt even his official forums turn into a roast making fun of him for sucking? He's somehow pulling in $2k a month from 2 patreons. Although he has to share one of those with the Star Power artist... But somehow, there are still 64 people somewhere willing to shell out monthly money for continuing Domonic Deegan content.

Oh god, he was that guy. Mine was a guy in the dorms who carried his D&D books everywhere, like to class and meals, was obsessed with Star Wars to the point he considered himself a "real" Jedi and would try to get people at parties to read an essay he wrote about it (and then debate him about it), and then had an emotional breakdown when his fiance (who he referred to as his wife) broke up with him. He also named his (female) MMO characters after what he wanted to name his future children.

What, exactly, was he trying to accomplish here? After the diary text dump it's a bit of whiplash to see Mookie suddenly trusting the audience to figure out this situation with no dialogue.

Yeah, like I said, he doesn't even know the ship would care about or react to the flare plant. Why would it care about a shirt on a stick? Also it's pretty amazing this empty DBZ field even has trees of any kind besides grass. If it ain't plot relevant scenery Mookie ain't drawing it!
