For 200 years you’ve been asking: Who is Dominic Deegan? This is Dominic Deegan speaking. *proceeds to fart for six hours straight*

How is this not the type of poo poo the Ink Witch could’ve rewrote from memory.

oh no prophecy is over WHO CARES

This sounds mildly interesting, to me, the reader, but there's still absolutely no reason for the main character to give a gently caress.

I got it! Ink witch was delivering her kids homework to magic school. The letters are big because the kid's still learning how to write.

So, wait, he found all of the pieces of the message now, right? So what the gently caress is he supposed to do now?

Why this much effort to collect such minimal information? I mean, why couldn't the owner of the pages just write new pages with that small an amount of info. There's only three pieces of information thaty're actually specific: Dominic Deagan's name, the fact that this happened 200 years ago (useless without a date on the page and even then super easy to remember) and the name Astinopath (which is so vaguely described that its useless without other supporting information). Could this really not be remembered with a modicum of effort? Is this a memento situation? I would edit a page with "Don't Believe His Lies" or something but

Oh God this has no relevance to anything who CARES Jesus Christ what a damp squib Okay I'm drat sure The End of Prophecy is supposed to be a big dramatic thing and it'll turn out not to mean what they wanted us to think it meant, like Mookie's trying to do a Mystery Box. But yeah, this is like something you'd hint at in page 1 of your epic fantasy saga, some enigmatic quotation that'll come to make more sense later. It has taken us months to get here.

Just thinking back on it, is 'Asinotaph' meant to be a sound-alike for 'a cenotaph'? I'd comment on the rest of this comic but jesus christ what a waste of time everything in this arc has been so far. Apart from his house being blown up in front of him. That owned.

He’s only ever pulled from the “Throw random vowels and consonants together” well of fantasy writing, and from what we just learned of Asinotaph (I’m willing to bet what we know now is all it’ll ever be) it doesn’t have anything in common with a cenotaph.

On the other hand Mookie loves shoehorning in lovely puns and getting the purpose of a cenotaph wrong would be 100% on brand. Roll on two more days where we've learned nothing new.

Otoh there’s a Bolt Thrower album called Cenotaph and he would absolutely shoehorn that in in the name of metal

Haven't checked in in several weeks, confident that I wasn't going to have much to catch up on. I was right. OK then, see you in February, there might be a plot point by then.

Well....at least it was consistent. We all were constantly asking what possible reason Snout could have to gather the pages. We wondered that it could not possibly be worthwhile or relavent. And everyone was correct.

You'd think he had more pressing concerns. A half-dead woman turns up on his doorstep. His house is blown up and the woman is abducted. Thats usually where a protagonist would drop everything and follow that call to adventure. Instead he just forgets about it and looks for more paper.

Well, she was only half-dead, so Mookie lost interest almost immediately.

I mean he is following a call to adventure, one that took the form of a loving page telling him "yeah the INK WITCH wants me to find those papers pls help?" and one that is probably the witch herself. The fact that you don't remember it speaks volumes about how engaging that particular plot device has been.

The fact that you don't remember it speaks volumes about how engaging that particular plot device has been. I still say the ink and the witch shouldn't be the same entity, because otherwise this story is about her telling Snout to piece together something it seems like she should already know. I mean, I assume it was her bag lying next to her that the pages were blowing out of back on the first page.

I mean, I’d be more surprised if there wasn’t a “revelation” that he’s actually still alive two hundred something years later.

He’s absolutely alive in some way. Mookie loves his darlings too much to let them die, even of natural causes.

Or he has a kid. I don't care that it was a plot point that Luna or both of them are sterile - he'll find a way to nullify that.

I bet Dominic died ages ago... because his mind was stuck in some astral plane and has to be recovered in some way for some stupid reason.

They had a kid in the end but it was left ambiguous if they adopted. A dwarf's fist made Dominic infertile and with Luna it was either a dragon or when she gave her reproductive energy to revitalize Maltak

I never reread Deegan, but if I remember right, Luna indeed revitalized the orcs’ homeland by sacrificing her womb because she was an awkward cross between The Chosen One and White Man’s Burden.

yeah she gave up her fertility to bring the land back to life and...god, it was presented as this giant-rear end thing because now she could never bear a child and she'd had limited ability to do so before or magic eggs or some poo poo.

She ended up having a kid anyways.

Magic fertility clinic. Fantasy porno magazines. Dominic Deegan really was the perfect bad webcomic. It's inspiring that Mookie managed to keep up that level of anti-quality for so long. Ague Proof fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Dec 4, 2019 |
