I think Mookie later clarified that Luna was made infertile by an injury during the climax and not a "womb for the world" transaction. Problem is he revealed her infertility by having the gross Dragonman whisk her away solely to tell her how the victory came at a heavy price and that she'll never be pregnant. Then there was that weird plastic surgery arc.

 Something threatens to happen. Thankfully though it still first tell us poo poo about why anything of the last 5 months mattered. Gotta preserve the mystery

It looks a little weird because that's just where he keeps all his stuff. He doesn't have any pockets.

God, finally, something interesting. It’s odd the paper knew this orc and knew he wasn’t to be trusted but didn’t try to tell Snout until they got all the way back to the cave and the orc followed, but hell, I’ll take anything at this point.

I hate the storytelling on this page and I just can't articulate why. It's probably that Mookie has the skill and patience of an excitable preteen when it comes to his plots.

Snout's major handicap is not that he's deaf but that he's very very stupid.

I forget, has it been said if he was born deaf? Because I could easily see him doing something incredibly stupid that ended up with him losing his hearing.

god look at how shittily snout is drawn. You'd think at least there's one thing that he can draw properly. That loving nose. And it's not even consistent!  It looks completely different here. The only consistent thing about how he's been drawn is his horrible spinal tumor.

Hey, let's take bets on how many pages it will be before this threat is completely neutralized despite being played up as really important. I'm gonna say 3.

If it's not at least mostly resolved the update after next, I will be very surprised. Next update will be Snout's "Oh no I'm actually in danger" moment, followed immediately by "oh I'm no longer in danger".

PetraCore posted:Why couldn't an orc have done so if it was so simple? The premise was something like: rear end in a top hat Knight's rear end in a top hat Knight Dad (who was dubbed the Dance Commander by a prior thread for his facial hair and a panel where it looked like he was pelvic thrusting while donning a necklace of orc tusks) did a mass genocide on the orcs. One orc chieftan was all like "Curse you!" to him and that turned out to be a real curse that caused human babies to be born with tuskmouth. Luna was all special because she came to accept her tuskmouth in spite of it being the source of lifelong abuse instead of having them removed or managing to successfully kill herself or whatever. This meant she was special and could help fix the genocide and death magic poison the Dance Commander inflicted on orcland.

It should be noted that all of this spiraled out from Mookie being mad that people liked the rear end in a top hat knight dude because he was a jock.

Also Luna choosing not to go to the magic plastic surgeon was initially really just about mookie being judgmental about plastic surgery and fake boobs. When you read the early strips you see he has nerd boy misogyny about how he doesn't like bimbos and sluts and gently caress big boobs. Then he had a hamfisted arc about a trans woman using an "alterist" because I guess at some point somebody explain to him that plastic surgery has uses beyond "bimbos" Beelzebufo fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Dec 5, 2019 |

How did Mookie even engage with his, uh, fans enough to know their reaction to that character? Were there comments/a forum on his site back then? His site STILL loads as the mobile version for me. I'm glad for the pages being posted here so I don't have to deal with it. Every page is zoomed WAY in so it looks blurry and lovely.

Mors Rattus posted:It should be noted that all of this spiraled out from Mookie being mad that people liked the rear end in a top hat knight dude because he was a jock. What was great about that is Siegfried was popular because he had an "arc" with "character growth" and things like "moving past irrational bigotry" but then Mookie retconned it so that Jayden cheated on her werewolf boyfriend and condemned Siggy to hell. And then he layered on extra badness by revealing that as a child/teenager Siggy helped perpetuate war crimes against the orcs to impress his father. So you know, hope you enjoy being damned forever because of crimes you conducted as a child for your lovely monster of a parent. Rotten Red Rod posted:How did Mookie even engage with his, uh, fans enough to know their reaction to that character? Were there comments/a forum on his site back then? He used to read/post on the Keenspot forums for the comic when it was hosted there. That place turned to mockery not long after the Storm of Souls arc, iirc. Mookie kind of withdrew from any fan engagement like that after a while. There's a pretty consistent pattern of the sincere discussion places turning to derision after a while that's kind of strange but also a bit of an interesting phenomenon for the comic.

Dominic originally had some characteristics that were meant to be negative - he was a reclusive jerk. At some point he lost whatever small claim to personality he had and just turned into a 100% Mookie self-insert. At one point Mookie slipped up and referred to Dominic's arch-enemy as his, Mookie's, arch-enemy.

Really though, all that’s happened is that he finished assembling all of the pieces of the prophecy, including one from a Whomping Willow reject that flipped the bird at him, and then ran into some orc that the magic piece of paper is trying to warn him about.
