we're gonna throw a world domination slumber party and we're not inviting any boys!!!!


The answer to the question 'who actually gives a gently caress about Terracciano's taste in video game girlfriends/video game endings/beer/weddings' entices me only slightly less than the answer to the question 'who seriously gives a gently caress about the human bolognese over here'. The answer to both, of course, should be nobody. This is both uninspired and uninspiring. Wake me up when the comic starts being interesting again.

YOU GOT ANY IDEA HOW MUCH COMMUNITY SERVICE I HAD TO DO BECAUSE OF THAT CREATION CONVICTION!? I'VE BEEN DIGGING loving DITCHES IN THE PLANE OF DESTRUCTION NON-STOP FOR MONTH NOW. MONTHS! AND IT WAS ALL YOUR drat FAULT!"

The worst thing is that this isn't the first time. The beast said "You!" before. It's a thing. This is a recurring thing that happens.

I know that whe I think "abomination from another plane of existence" I think of something that holds grudges and vocalizes them like a spurned teenage lover.

It's funny because that's probably exactly how Mookie used to describe his ex-girlfriend.

An insult even to Ace Dick's lovely imagination.

I still can't get over how nonchalantly he's talking to the otherworldly abomination nobody can understand. "Oh, you again. Let me just get my mask..."

Was that even the last time Dominic engaged the Beast? Celesto had the beasty-babies in...Prontus, I think, and his cosplay in Errosus. I can't remember when last he foigt the real McCoy.

Also, what a huge surprise that Mookie likes the badly written, even by exceedingly low video game standards, ending of ME3. A completely non-sequitur, deus ex machina climax? Nothing's more satisfying than that, sign me up for more.

The last panel kind of reminds me of Forming. The pose, the roughly hewn figure, the constrictive panel size. Which is funny, because Forming loving owns.

And, based on the title of the individual strip and the way it's presented, it's supposed to be dumb.

Somebody trying to make something look dumb made something genuinely more threatening and otherworldly than Mookie's honest attempts to do so.

The way he truly is.


I think I understand that terrible "My sentiments exactly," line now. It's not just awful dialogue, it's that that rear end in a top hat Terraciano cant let the comic end without Dominic having the last word. I'd be curious to know if the same thing happened every other time he had a big revelation where someone said something to him; did he do it then as well? I would have sworn that he said something like "Fascinating," after High Priestess Boobs McLOSTTREASURE said her stupid magic face poo poo.

I'm taking this in a different direction: the final boss of Dominic Deegan, the great evil of Terraccino's universe- it's Art, actual, competent Art. Seriously, The Beast! is becoming Vitruvian Man(an anatomical model), he's clearly a symbol of proper anatomy, which is wholly anathema to the Deegan Universe. It's only a matter of time before Dominic has to fight The Characters-in-Actual-Tensionmancer and King Mature-and-Respectful-Depiction-of-surprise sex.

It really is perfectly fitting for him to be a talimancer. I'd say he has a BSN account as well but I don't think he's passive aggressive enough for that place.

I find it even more fitting that he enjoyed the ending to ME3. Sudden out-of-character moments, plot holes, big "revelations" that happen with no hints or warnings, awful dues ex machinas and a sudden main antagonist switch with a character never even mentioned before...

I fully expect Mookie to right something similar to the ending of DD.

Considering the Homestuck villains have an entirely different role and design, why would their humanization be a problem? LE isn't supposed to be some eldritch abomination like the Beast.

So it has a mouth, but talks from it's eye?
Is the beast even mobile? He's in the same pose as last comic. I'm beginning to think he's literally from the jr. high sketchbook and Mookie thinks that any alteration, even in perspective, would be an insult.

You're giving him too much credit. I think he just added tentacles to the vitruvisn man and can't figure out how to draw him in a different pose.

The human form isn't even that great for combat. In fact, compared to an alarming amount of things on the planet, its incredibly outmatched. Why didn't the Beast become part tiger or great white shark or goliath bird-eating spider?

I just cannot get over how loving goofy that beast looks.

Also, that's got to be the lamest villain speech I've heard in a long time. "Sure, you've easily beaten me in every single previous encounter, but this time it'll be different! Really! I swear!"

Gah. I am starting to loath the mindscape comics. It's always an excuse for Mookie to be inefficient with his panel space. I mean, take today where Dominic is looking at this stupid thing. And because Mookie can't draw that thing in a different pose or smaller, we now have to read the comic in a U.

Also, thanks for telling us about those side characters instead of showing us. That's loving useful. I wanted to stare at your lovely Beast, jesus, vitruvian man thing. It looks loving static as hell and is now talking as much as Skeletor.

You know, "a spider bigger than you" is probably one of the scariest things, period. I mean look at a spider's "face" up close and you'll see how weird and alien they can be.

The flow of dialogue in this page is utter garbage. Dominic's speech bubbles are part of a completely different conversation until you realize that "influential family" he's talking about is that Masters. I tried reading this two different ways before actually getting to the right one.

And I like how he decided to base it off the Vitruvian Man, but conveniently designed it to not have any hands or feet.

Well, considering how offhandedly King Dave dismissed those threats, it's at least consistent.

On the other hand, there's no chance they will be mentioned again after, say, Friday.
