Grind, you poor fool!
Grind straight for the stars!
Wow so not only was Mongreltown never in any danger but Snout doesn't even register the ship as a threat. I projected a whole scenario onto the comic that never even existed.

Honestly I'm just thankful we're finally going to get some explanation on the ship so it's just not a loving mystery box anymore.

Oh no, instead of traveling [x] time to Mongreltown he'll need to travel [x]+20 minutes instead!
Not only is it a (seemingly) minor delay, there's been nothing that gave any sort of urgency to the quest. Or any sense of what x is, for that matter. It's a small delay on a journey of unknown duration for something that is not pressing in any way. And somehow we're supposed to treat this as a significant decision Snout is making.

also this ship blew up his house & took the ink witch so like how is this not leaping to the top of his priorities

Why does Snout even live on his own? Like, this is something that now has to be addressed because he is pointedly not living in the town dedicated to his people, so much so that he had to spend days? weeks? travelling there.

Why is this being portrayed as a dilemma? Why can't he go investigate the ship and then check out the town? He has no idea where he's going, he's not on a schedule, he can do whatever he wants???

If only there was some kind of tension to him going to mongrel town, maybe derived from some sort of reason he would have to want to go there

The only way to explain Snout's indecision is that investigating the ship crash is going to lead into an adventure that goes out and far from Mongreltown. Which isn't something that Snout knows is going to happen, but it's something that mookie does.

but... not even that.



He was just eager to drop the quest altogether so as to socialize with his fellow mongrelfolks.

So the plot had to, literally, fall of the sky right in front of him to keep him on the rails. It's kind of hilarious actually.

He also was given a specific list of libraries he could go to and then set off to find them without consulting a map of where, well, anything is, despite the fact he clearly stated one was available to him. Snout is a dumb motherfucker (or, more accurately, is dumb when Mookie requires him to be for the specific direction he has randomly decided to take the plot).

How will Mookie explain what the gently caress just happened without dialogue.

Rotten Red Rod
Mar 5, 2002

Welp, there we go. The ship was the Ink Witch's the whole time and never kidnapped her. Questions I now have:

- Why blow up Snout's house? She hasn't even apologized for it. Is Snout even going to be mad about it?
- Why fly around hiding from Snout?
- Why pretend to be a spell on the paper?
- Why reveal herself now if she had to hide from him earlier?
- If all this has a logical explanation, why hasn't she given Snout any bit of it before now?
- Did I mention she blew up his loving house?

I mean I know the answer to all these is because "Mookie doesn't plan ahead" but it'll be interested to see how he tries to squirm out of these plot contrivances (or ignores them).

Also, now that the Ink Witch is in the comic we can officially start the Countdown to Cheesecake! Let's guess how many updates it will take before Mookie gets horny and Witchy gets some kind of sexy drawing, whether it just a provocative closeup, a harem-anime style butt/nip slip, or some straight-up Bayonetta melting clothes garbage. I'm gonna go big and say it's only 3 comics away.

The Ink Witch is a actually kind of an interesting design (by Mookie's standards), despite how derivative it is. It seems like this whole legacy comic was conceived because he had this one idea for her.

Pretty much. I don't think he'd be doing a "dialogue free" comic without someone whose power is literally writing her text bubbles in the air.

Or she gets fed up with how long communicating with writing is taking, and just magically grants him hearing... which just makes things worse, because it’d be the first time Snout’s ever been able to hear, and gives him sensory overload.

Also, gonna play a bit more conservatively and guess that it takes two months of strips for Mookie’s kooky nookie with the witch.

He didn't destroy Mongreltown so no takebacks, but fair play to Mookie, that final panel is probably one of the best he's ever done, and it's a decent use of chromatic texture.

I mean I still have criticisms but frankly I'm not going to be harsh when he's doing good. Genuinely interested in what'll happen next.

He loving loves the Ink Witch, he'll put most of his effort into drawing her and things related to her - partly because the whole "ink" gimmick means it only has to be in black & white, partly because boobs.

And yeah, in a vacuum, this page is one of the best he's ever done.

Okay gently caress it, if the Ink Witch just walks up to Snout and stone cold murders him by cracking his neck apropos of nothing and then goes on her own adventure unrelated to any of the previous poo poo, I promise once again, to take back every criticism I've ever made. Hell I'll even chuck Mooks a couple on the patreon for as long as he doesn't gently caress that up.
