The one thing I liked about Stunt was that he clearly hated the comic, its inhabitants, and its creator as much as the rest of us, and now he's gonna go both all touchy-feely and all necrophilia. God drat it Mookie.

How does Mookie afford to read like 80 comic books a week with his income?

Why did Jayden cheat on her boyfriend again? And was it a spur of the moment thing, or a continuous behind his back thing?

You'd think Mookie would at least look into different blood splatters, given his love for "METAL!" blood and gore. Every violent scene has that same splash against the white void. Here's Doormat - er... Luna:  I based her clothing off of what late 14th century noblewomen wore, and gave her a bit of a drooling problem since having tusks like that would clearly make it hard for her mouth to fully close.

Oh hey look a disfigurement that is a real disfigurement, emotion on the face that's clearly self-consciousness and not 'I farted', and reasonable fantasy style clothing! Also, Mookie, we get it, the treasure is his faith being found. Please don't make us read another two weeks of "I SURE HATE RELIGION" "Gee really?" "*dramatic flashback, stares off in the distance*"

I'd like to point out before Stunt finds Moon-Jesus or whatever, that the last arc he was in he left a man paralyzed to be eaten alive. no see that was cathartic justice for a man whose crimes clearly warranted being eaten alive no guilt there

Jayden cheated on Milov so her life is officially over. Only through years of silence and a pilgrimage through the desert can she make up for her slutty ways. Her escort is the unrepentant murderer of like a dozen people, including his own mother, and he is sentenced to feeling a little awkward every time he remembers it. Terracciano Justice

Terracciano Justice Yeah, I went and checked the wording and it does say "hurt someone", so it's all about Milov. Hell, in the Shadow of Siegfried arc she almost abandoned her faith entirely, becoming a pawn of demonic forces and trying to kill her friends, but that pales into insignificance compared to the sin of cheating on a Nice Werewolf. loving Mookie.

Once again Mookie comes close to almost making an interesting character but fails miserably by failing to see the problem with it. Jayden being obsessed with her past actions to the point where she has devoted her entire life to atoning them could be treated as a legitimate character flaw. She hasn't done something horrible like murdering a bunch of people (I think), she just cheated on a guy. Regretting that is understandable but after several years you need to move on. The problem here is that Mookie doesn't see this as an issue. Her feeling this much regret is apparently what he views as the appropriate reaction, and she can only put it behind her by going on a ridiculous pilgrimage. So Mookie is saying that you are incapable of atoning on your own and have to do so through a hosed up rebirthing pilgrimage. All becuase she cheated on a guy who probably doesn't even care about it anymore.

BlackArtistik posted:After following these threads for a while and seeing the occasional redesign of the Deegans on here, against better judgment I decided to try my hand at redesigning the characters. And... here's Dominic. It looks good, and I know I've mentioned this before, but when a person has a bad leg, the cane goes on the opposite side. I imagine there may be some exceptions, but if your leg is bad, it can't bear weight well without you lurching toward the side. A cane on the opposite side spreads your weight out and away from the bad side, evening your gait. A cane on the same side as the bad leg makes for a more theatrically-wounded-looking walk, but that leaning struggle is just gonna cause back problems down the road (and really, if you've got a cane to help you walk, it's not because you WANT to walk with an obvious hobble). I speak as one who occasionally has to walk with a cane and has received instructions how to by a real life physical therapist. I know nobody cares, but on the off chance someone here was considering creating a character who needs a cane because of a bad leg or hip or whatever, it goes on the opposite side if you want it to work. It goes on the same side if you just want it to look dramatic.

Ignatius M. Meen posted:He probably does that to be dramatic, to be fair. Yeah, you can see that lurch to the side because his bad leg isn't having any weight spread away from it. I'm honestly worried the actor is going to develop real lower back issues as a result of his choice of theatrical over practical. EDIT: vvvv yeah I guess it just depends on how many hours a day he does that wonky walk for his performance. Huntersoninski fucked around with this message at Jan 13, 2012 around 00:26 |

Kinda screwed up a bit, but here's Bumper.  Instead of a really tan Caucasian I went for a hodgepodge of different ethnicities, regarding his look. Plus I'm assuming he was actually supposed to have dreads but Mookie didn't know how to draw them. So... yeah. Also, I know his foot is missing some toes. I meant to draw the rest of them in, but after I inked and scanned it, it slipped my mind.

That is a really, really cool design. And he doesn't look like a honky like all of Mookie's characters!

Bumper is a cool design, but somehow you made his right bicep nearly imperceptible and it looks like he has a tiny little arm.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:They might, I know Stunt met Siegfried at least once and Jayden was usually around Siggie. Nah, they've never met. Not only would the characters have brought it up but Mookie would've linked to it three or ten times. Stunt is just so loving one-dimensional that Jayden knew he'd fall for that old cliche.

The fact that they've never met is probably the worst part of this whole story. So far, anyway; Terracciano is good at digging through the bottom of the barrel. She just sees him and goes "oh, I need him to come with me". It's not justified at all. They're just the primary characters for this adventure, so they gravitate to traveling together and trusting each other. It's so forced that it's painful, even given usual Mookie-fare.

Yeah, it's excruciatingly obvious that Mookie thought it'd be cool to have two minor characters who don't actually know each other meet up and go on an adventure, but had no loving idea how to actually get them together so he just decided to wing it because he needs to experience the thrill of not knowing what happens next despite the fact that he's the goddamned WRITER.

Something like this could work but, yes, he just had them team up in such a rushed and sloppy manner. Just portraying another bad habit of his as rushing through poo poo to get to the parts he likes and wishes to spend time on.

Really, though, this is the sort of thing that either takes two strips to tell (as a little set-up and payoff), or like above, can be reduced to half a strip. gently caress you, Mookie. Edit: His newspost will contain some awful "Stunt has bad luck, oh it's Friday the 13th tee hee" joke. I just know it.

Wait, this airship's wings fold up? What is the point of that?! It would make sense if it was docking into something, I guess, but here it's just anchored like a balloon. Now that I think about it, how the gently caress is it flying in the first place? There are no propellers and the wings aren't doing anything apparently, so is it just *Magic*? Also, why the gently caress does it have a rudder?
