There was a guy named The Maestro who used a magic conductor's baton to zap Deegan Dad's guitar.

I know, not even just with the maestro but also the really terrible smug metalhead Greg in the later arcs. It's a well I think he'll dive right down into given any opportunity.

If I remember correctly, it was even worse because Greg started off as this meek, inoffensive, compassionate character who developed into the most obnoxious rear end in a top hat and this was never presented as a bad thing.

Not that it makes it any good, but god, this is like 50 times more annoying than anything happening in this current comic.

I was thinking, wasn't Greg in many ways more of a self insert than Dominic? Since Dominic wasn't really that at the start at least.

Hoooooooly poo poo, I forgot about that. One thing Mookie absolutely nails is writing an insufferable nice guy that’s as lovely as the villains (Like Nimmel moving to the werewolf homeland to dominate the “savage brutes” with his superior magic).

Coming fresh off of the last bits of the last Classic Deegan mock threads (For whatever reason, I stopped reading them around the desert of Eldariat TO DIE. Gotta keep up with the Mookieverse canon, after all.), this new thing is absolutely glacial. In his news post to start this up, he’s talking about a new cast having new adventures. Are we going to be here for another decade? And how long is he going to keep up the kinda-sorta-not dialogue?

I’m glad he’s at least doing something other than 8 panels and not poorly laid out mindscape pages.

Yeah as far as I can tell this isn't just a short side story, he seems to intend for this to be a whole nother saga. It's presented as another chapter on the archive page and there's multiple characters who haven't even been introduced yet.

As for the rest, that's anyone's guess. I doubt even Mookie knows, what with his seat-of-his-pants plotlines.

Ha ha. We're moving up in the world. Not only do plot important things just appear in the world, but now objects just appear in the protagonist's hand.

NEWT REBORN

Rotten Red Rod posted:

Yeah I'm struggling to care about this because it feels like Mookie doesn't care either. THIS is the story you want to tell?

If it's building towards something it's gonna come out of left field because there is no intrigue or reason to any of this. It's just a bunch of dumb slapstick and Snout making bad decisions.

The issue is that we actually have two distinct narratives.

The first narrative is simply the antics of a carefree, childlike character who chases sheets of paper as if they were butterflies. The ‘fun’ is that this escalates into these increasingly elaborate looney-tunes situations with absurd resolutions.

The second narrative, on the other hand, is a noir - about a novelist drawn into a web of mystery and violence after he spies a beautiful woman in danger. You’ve got these psychosexual overtones, etc.

The ‘natural’ progression would be for the one narrative to phase into the other: “Snout innocently collects all the papers... but uncovers a dead body! But wait, she’s not dead! And she’s being hunted by aliens?!” And so-on.

But of course, that’s not what we get. So, whether or not it’s intentional, the oil-and-water mixture produces some really baffling stuff. Like, Snout has zero sexual tension with the witch because he’s attracted to the papers.

First conscious humanoid figure that Snout has met since the comic started. And the very first interaction is a dumb joke for us, the audience.

I don't believe Mookie has ever used a straight-edge. Ever. I seem to recall him freehanding everything was a point of pride.

Looks like he used a compass to draw the body of it too. If he's using tools to emphasise its inorganicness, that's at least a vague gesture in the direction of using the medium.

So why is exactly is Snout holding out his hand, twisted 90 degrees clockwise, as opposed to palm up?

Is this some new, Wild Edge reverse hand shake?

A sign language thing unique to the Deeganverse?

Yet another sign Mookie is a terrible artist?
