I recognized it as a waterfall but the mist and splashing looks more like treetops than his actual treetops.

Yeah, that got me for a moment.

Again, I'll give Mooks credit for effort here. I mean for once we also actually have a comic without dialogue the whole week!

Mookie just straight up copied those tendril, mushroom trees from No Man's Sky. He only removed details because :effort:

Hang on, didn't someone already accuse him of ripping off No Man's Sky earlier in this arc?

Yeah, me, he posts about NMS constantly on Twitter so it's not exactly hard to figure out.

Again, that in itself is not a problem, but the fact he doesn't take it far ENOUGH is.

That waterfall landscape isn't terrible. There's something approaching a sense of scale there

It’s probably cause he copied it from some Niagara Falls photo

I did not parse it as a waterfall until it was mentioned as such in this thread. I saw it as a big crater.

I saw a cliff face. Because the wild edge having a massive enough body of water for its own Niagara Falls doesn't match my memories of endless plains and scattered hills. And one very angry rain cloud.

Niagara, please.

I parsed that image as a big crater from a meteorite hitting the planet a long time ago and in that time it had filled with trees (the clouds of mist in the middle) since it's an animu staple.

But that would require us ever coming back to any of these loading screens. Which we all know we're not.

Given that he has no destination besides 'a place with books in' is it actually possible for him to be lost?

e: also his "adventure" has been an entirely uneventful walk

He can't have gone very far because he's just now eating that nondescript clump of berries.

Also he's all out of food now.

Maybe the berries will make him hallucinate and he has a vision quest where he isn't deaf, leading him to where he has to go.

Or, if that's too much effort, just have him fall asleep and wake up next to a plotpoint.

He has to call attention to it otherwise the page ceases to be a 'doubting myself but ADVENTURE' montage and just comes across as a page depicting Snout as someone who lives in a 'beautiful' but desolate place in an isolated way, who has had enough of writing in his journal for the day and is heading home. Hell without the text this could be the first time we ever saw Snout and it'd probably be a better intro than what we got.

Little writing tip for you Mookie. When using a common writing trope. Don’t have the character literally say/write down “name of trope” while applying it to themselves. It’s not natural.

Good thing I left home on this “hero’s journey”

If I did anything for twenty years, I would like to think that just by accident, I'd get better. Mookie has somehow managed to get worse.
