It's not even a joke at this point, Mookie's just making every update text heavy so he doesn't have to draw as much.

Frog puns are toadally awesome


A special glue to do what exactly.

Also I was not prepared for the twist of Snout simply not caring that the spell was lying to him and continuing on regardless. Rendering the twist reveal totally boring and pointless, as it has not changed his motivation in the slightest. I legitimately don't understand how Mookie could right this, even without planning ahead, and not see that it totally ruins the previous page.

Not that I blame you for forgetting, but it turns out this has never been a book. The pages we see flying out of the ink witch’s bag in the first page are the same pages Snout’s looking for. Presumably she’s been taking notes on separate pieces of paper and just stuffing them all in the same bag to sort through later like any diligent researcher.

Not to mention the weirdly colloquial tone it has, starting with "It's been one week since you looked at me 200 years since...". Instead of something more formal like "200 years have passed since..."

Oh, yeah, I just skimmed the last page and I thought it said he had to "repair the book", and I assumed he'd be like rebinding the pages, but now I see he's just repairing that page. My bad.

Still doesn't explain why she wrote them in that huge granny-font or why they even matter. Snout's unexplained curiosity for a name he saw a few times is not enough drive for the plot without SOME sort of context for why he - or we - should care.

Impalement on a big goofy spike wouldn't even damage a paper irreparably, you'd just end up with a flappy tear that you can just fold back into place.

I'm trying not to be cynical, but the witch thing feels like less of a cutesy theme now and more of a crutch of only having to learn how to draw one body shape.

C'mon Mookie, draw a plantain sorcerer with full dong. That's true artistic genius.

Honestly, while not great, his sexy pose female anatomy is so much better than his normal work I'm suspicious that he's tracing swimsuit models or porn.

I come back to this cursed forum to see if anything is Afoot apropos Dobson acting the fool on social media, and THIS is what I find?! It's loving 2012 again?!

Color me shocked that once or twice he attempted to draw actual lips and seems to have exhibited a modicum of self-awareness with the name "Snout." Also I guess he learned to draw cocks-and-balls. I second the tracing theories hitherto posited but I guess it does in some way constitute improvement. drat though, this is nostalgic.

I'm just so horribly confused about what is going on in this comic.

And I honestly do not know if that's intention from Mookie.

An uninteresting character is doing things for no real reason. So, pretty much the same plot as Dominic Deegan.

IIRC, just some comment about how studying death made him want to enjoy life while it lasted, so he indulged in food until he died, became a lich, and then wore a fatsuit to troll Dominic Deegan.

Because a character can't just be fat because they happen to be fat, oh no, it has to be a character trait with a backstory

Ok I think it should be said that the idea of running gag isn’t to use the same jokes a handful of pages apart, and the rule of thirds doesn’t mean you make the exact same joke each time. The pages where he does this are excruciating

I know this has always been a problem with Mookie, but the wild tonal inconsistency is giving me whiplash. This is a poorly paced mystery-ish plot mixed with moments of intense danger and these Looney Tunes sight gags.

I know this is a result of no planning, but he doesn't even read the last page before deciding to put something down on paper.

I swear all the stupid nerds who loved the original Deegan because he was a genius suffering among the normies unleashed a terrible crime on the world by giving Mookie validation for all this.

Also that face in panel 3

This comic was a patreon stretch goal. That wasn't met. That he decided to do anyway.

This is on no one but Mookie.
