Another year, another severely disappointing roller-coaster that breaks down a lot and looks like it was designed by a drunkard with a snout fetish. So let's get to it! Okay, the previous title was weird, what the HELL does the new one mean? HerVows.jpg has its rival in hervows.gif  I hate it already I thought you might, well both of the characters are the author. Yes, both of them, which means the author's canon relationship happens to between himself and himself. Convenient as he can definitely go gently caress himself. Dominic Deegan (the comic) has extended from a shittily drawn gag-a-day comic back in 2003  to... well, not really improving  Right. It's poorly drawn, but can't that be charming? Yeah, if that was the only problem. But then there's the issue of sexualising dying women  or the constant physical violence against women  or the only black guy being a criminal  or the one gay character literally never shutting up about being gay  As an aside, the black dude being introduced as black in the same panel as attempting surprise sex was only the tip of the iceberg. Later he's seen eating fried chicken (in a high fantasy setting) and let's not forget that his race (the Semashi) are black people with Italian names who live in Japanese Pagodas and literally solve conflict through dance  Oh, and if you thought that was bad, there has always been a watershed for unironic Deegan readers after this lovely little comic:  Where a 14-or-so year old girl is raped after watching her parents murdered. Why? Because otherwise she'd be murdered too. ...why? Because orphans are apparently not allowed amongst orcs. And raping her solves that how? Because then she'd be a wife who is allowed dead parents. My knowledge of marriage might be a little rusty but since when did you have to gently caress someone before the "I do"? Since Mookie felt like it. Every reasonable excuse is shoehorned out and orcy-boy does the dirty deed and in case you thought there might be a nice ending, nope. The rapist is meant to be the hero of the storyline, and when called out on it, is defended by the entire main cast. I think I just threw up a little. Yes, but I'm not done quite ye- No, no thanks! I get the point! This comic offends people. So, what now? This thread is where we point at Mookie and laugh, either doing edits or original art to show how bad his own is. The previous two threads have been lauded for their ability to show people what not to do in webcomics, and also because we're totally cooler than the CAD thread. Why are we cooler? Oh because we have DISCO EPILEPSY   More seriously, the previous threads are: Thread 1, AKA "The Webdog Diaries" Thread 2, AKA "It's like being in a lovely D&D campaign" later renamed to the current title because of Dominic randomly turning up in front of a little boy naked  So yes, with that stunningly nice description, should you want to see the comic for yourself (morbid curiosity I guess), it can be found here. But don't say we didn't warn you. If you want to do edits, you should use the Mookie Sans font (if anyone remembers who made that, remind me so I can credit them), although I use a random anime font for my edits because I'm lazy. There was a Dominic Deegan Drinking Game mention here, it's gone now... Finally, I've started a Deegan Mock Tumblr, which is http://endlesswhitevoid.tumblr.com/ feel free to submit edits and original art or anything to do with Dominic Deegan being bad, hilarious or both!

Thanks for the new thread Tess. As for today's comic. See readers, this thing I will eventually explain is super important in the setting I'm writing. Maybe I should have brought it up sometime in the last nine years. Nah, just have Stunt look exasperated at the camera. Also, that bald guy in the last panel. I know he's suppose to be obscured by the ladies, but it really looks like he's a floating head and neck. Matlock Birthmark fucked around with this message at Jan 9, 2012 around 07:07 |

Off the top of my head the last several months have been Dominic fighting Celesto at a fencing event while Luna was simultaneously fighting Celesto at an art event. And now Stunt and ex-girlfriend are going to go on a crazy desert adventure because gently caress pacing.

I'm beginning to find the whole "Wait, whaddaya mean you don't know what she means!? All these other people do!" act really suspicious. She's also a bit of a dick for going around acting like she's going to literally kill herself just for the sake of a cliffhanger about a week ago.

Well she said she was going to die, she never said she was going to kill herself. So it's still possible that she's going to take an axe to the gut and land face down rear end up, and spend the last moments of her life lamenting that she cheated on Then Stunt will make an rear end pun.

When introducing an audience to a new world full of strange and exotic sights and customs, it's often nice to include a character to whom this world is unfamiliar as well. That way the audience can happily connect with the fellow newcomer and learn the lore through the character's eyes. And, of course, Mookie has completely failed to do this. He has tried, and he desperately wants us to connect with Stunt, the zany ignorant, but it just ain't happening. Don't look at me, Stunt. I'm not the one who decided you had to take a week to figure it out.

I can't help but notice that the straw coming from Totally-Not-Greg-That-Just-Tore-His-Shirt-Down-the-Middle-and-Tied-It-Around-His-Head's mouth doesn't come from his mouth in the last three panels. The close-up panels. How do you gently caress this up? I'm more concerned about how much longer that flaccid piece of straw will last than this pairing.

Also, in the first few years of the comic you could actually see him experiment with different angles and facial views other than 3/4ths and profile. The art has absolutely gotten lazier over the years, which is just sad.

Here's to another year of awful, awful writing and art. So she's not going to literally die. Whoop de doo. And everyone cares why? At this point, Stunt looks like he wants to hit everyone, and I can just barely sympathise with him because this is retarded. Also goddamn snoutface is getting really irritating when he's got something in his mouth. It just points out what a lazy shortcut that is.

Ok, since the thread is in it's new phase and all, I thought I'd come back and bring up a thing I seem to have noticed... the Dominic Scarf seems to appear on other 'major' heroes from time to time. I'm not going to bother trawling through the comic to find examples, but I know that it's happened a few times. Surely I'm not the only one...

You know the best part of this? We, the readers, are Stunt. Because Mookie is such an utter failure at worldbuilding and exposition, we can not possibly be capable of knowing what she's talking about. None of this has ever been presented, foreshadowed, hinted at, alluded to, or anything. So a reader is guaranteed to not know what she's talking about. You know, like the guy portrayed through this encounter as a total moron because how could he not know about the desert of eldariat ahahaha that idiot thought she was going to literally die! (even though Jayden's colleague earlier looked pretty sad about this and now a bunch of other lunanananites are pretty thrilled for her) Like you, the reader! You are the idiot! HA! HE TRICKED US WITH HIS CLEVER WRITING!!

The King of Callan is evil and working for the shittiest Nyarlathotep knock-off in recorded history, along with that huge anime guy who used to be blind. Dominic and Luna have spent the last few months farting around art galleries and sexually harassing schoolchildren. They also had a boring non-wedding. That guy who looks like he lives in a Starbucks enacted an evil plot to expose the King's villainy, which worked without a hitch but he still lost anyway because he is not Dominic. Greg formed a band. They were poo poo. It was poo poo. Oh yeah, everyone's favourite misogynist criminal Stunt got several poachers killed in the wild edge. He's now travelling with this suicidal priestess chick, while the woman he was travelling with previously is still unaccounted for. I do wonder what happened to her.

If there's one thing the OP is missing, it's this: Just remember, every time you see this comic, this is the person that drew it. This is what he decides to look like. Just be glad he's wearing a shirt in this picture. Anyway, I'd like to think that this current story arc is Mookie attempting to follow the old guideline 'Show, don't tell'. But it kind of falls flat when we have a character who honestly doesn't know what's going on, and also because other characters are TRYING to tell him and he's just plugging his ears and singing loudly.

You just know the only reason Stunt is annoyed is because he's not getting the attention he deserves. "Look at me! I've killed people! I constantly have a straw in my mouth! Aren't I totally metal?"

Long time lurker, first time poster to the thread here. This is a constant problem that I have with the comic. You can't do show don't tell with a character and then have them refuse to find out just to continue the audience's ignorance. Okay so we have a Thing. The Thing is important, it will drive some of the plot of the current arc. Unfortunately the thing needs to be kept under wraps. So how do you keep interest in the Thing without making the audience loose interest? Well have a character say something easily misinterpreted which can later be re-interpreted as religious mumbo-jumbo. So, lets say a character say, 'I will go on the Thing. When I get there I'm going to die.' Okay great! But how do we then spread the info about the Thing in a way which doesn't seem really loving dumb. Well lets have someone who doesn't know ask! Yes that makes sense, it gives the audience an In and doesn't come off as really out of place. BUT! You don't then have the audiences 'In' say that he doesn't care. This tells the audience that they shouldn't care. I don't give a gently caress what you do with the Thing beyond this point. You have told me I shouldn't care. I DON'T CARE. You don't then shove the fact that we shouldn't care back in our face by having everyone else interested in it. This is bad writing because you're insulting your audience. You're telling them that their wrong for not caring because everyone else does. Why don't you? I'll tell you why, Mookie. Because you're incapable of writing anything of interest. This is clearly something something we should care about, but because of the way you've presented it we don't care. Because of the way you've written your ENTIRE loving COMIC. WE. DON'T. CARE! So Mookie, continue writing your little void of wish fulfillment. Where you're an omnipotent being of supreme goodness because we all know the truth. We've seen the truth as you wanted us too, but its not the truth you present, its not the truth you crave. The truth? Your a loving hack. You can't write you can't draw, and your stuck in a perpetual downwards spiral created by your own inability to cope with your pitiful loving existence on this little spit of rock hurtling through the universe. I and the people like me will continue to scorn you for your failings because you refuse to crawl into a little corner of the internet and die, you instead poo poo out a worthless ego satisfaction fantasy and expect us to like you for it. gently caress you Mookie. TL;DR: gently caress YOU MOOKIE!!!
