I'm like 70% sure you could find a picture of Mookie's wife in a witch costume on his instagram or something. This definitely feels like a self-insert fantasy.

If you go to Mookie's instagram you'll find a lot of shirtless pics of him more than anything else he's actually in pretty good shape

I do not have Instagram and I would not go to Mookie's social media accounts. It's just that the ink witch makes me think sexy Halloween costume. And Snout looks like Mookie. So I feel like this is playing out the same Luna/ Dominic self-insert fantasy

I do think there's going to some kind of self-insertion or self-indulgence happening soon, if there isn't already, but speculating on if his family will be involved is going down a bad road. Anyway, tell me if I've missed something here. The Ink Witch wants those pages about Dominic. It's not exactly clear why she wants them beyond wanting to find "the truth", but clearly she cares enough to endanger herself and a stranger trying to collect the pages. When Snout lost the pages, she suddenly cut off contact with him; the natural read to this is that she was upset about the turn of events and possibly at Snout himself. It's not stated what she's been doing since then. No explanation for why her ship was in the area and why it crashed, unless we're supposed to guess she was trying to find Snout for some reason. There is also the question of if she's still being chased, or if she's going to try again to steal the pages. As for Snout himself, he's gone through one dangerous task after another trying to solve the mysteries before him. His home has been destroyed. The closest thing he has to an ally has withheld information from him at various points, then tried to bear hug him out of the blue, something he clearly wasn't comfortable with. So, what I'm left asking is... Why does Ink Witch completely forget her motivations less than one page later and go "what now?" Why does Snout decide to invite her to town with him, why does she agree to it, and why are they just happily walking off as if there hasn't been any exploding houses or murderous trees or angry orcs in their lives the past few days? Almost everything about both the narrative and their motivations was ignored for this detour. I'm sure they'll be back soon, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around why they're both just shrugging off all that's happened. The only explanation that makes sense to me is if Snout really is that trusting, and if the Ink Witch is exploiting that and trying to befriend him so she can use him later. Granted, with how much Mookie seems to adore Ink Witch, even if that was the case she probably wouldn't be the villain, and the entire narrative will bend around her to show why she's actually justified meddling with strangers' lives like this. It's happened before with Dominic and the other Deegans, and... and oh god. What if Ink Witch is a Deegan, too? The ending of DD revealed Dominic and Luna had kids. (Presumably adopted ones, but when actually asked Mookie went  and suggested that they could've been biological. Doesn't really matter in this context.) Or, if not her, then maybe some other character they'll meet who could be the real Legacy of Dominic Deegan. It's a baseless theory that has no foundation whatsoever, but it's the kind of twist I could see happening.

The dogged refusal to reveal inkwich's name definitely points to her being a Deegan, and her investigating her lineage would explain why she cared about Dominic. Or maybe she just named herself Deegan for no reason like in Star Wars

The orc dispelled the pagefinder spell she was using to communicate with him. MiracleFlare posted:So, what I'm left asking is...

Good point! Why doesn't she just make a new ship? Why is Snout suddenly in charge? The answer to all this, of course, is that Mookie is a bad writer and hasn't thought the character motivations through at all, and all their actions serve only to carry them to the next scene he happened to think up, regardless of whether it makes any sense. Invisible Clergy posted:The dogged refusal to reveal inkwich's name definitely points to her being a Deegan, and her investigating her lineage would explain why she cared about Dominic. We also now know there is a whole order of Ink Witches so it makes no sense for her not to have a name, but she continues to call herself "THE Ink Witch".

The Ink Witch doesn't have a name because Mookie liked 'The Ink Witch' and didn't put any thought into it beyond that. She is The Ink Witch (who also happens to be an ink witch), and she exists as an object to validate Snout's existence. She isn't a person. She is a sexy lamp that gives his life purpose and meaning.

 There's just...no content. There's nothing here. Are they going towards Mongreltown? Away? who knows, who cares? There wouldn't be anything there for them once they got there. It's like staring into. a void.

When Mookie puts in detailed backgrounds, it draws attention to the fact that 99% of the time, the world is a blank void.

Where the gently caress are they! And how long have they been traveling? Those are completely different biomes. I mentioned a week or two ago that I like that cascading dry ink particle effect. Well gently caress me, because that’s the only ink effect Mookie knows, so we’ll be seeing it over and over again. Even when it doesn’t really fit, like the tree in the bottom panel.

I think at times like this, the Mild Edge literally being a featureless void bears repeating. The way the venus flytraps teleported into frame and then vanished just as quickly, I think that's how these biomes work. Snout walks 50 feet, there's a tree. He walks another 50 feet, there's a canyon. And so on. Interspersed between these things is more void.

Maybe it's due to the cursed bridal shower poop cake posted in GBS but that last panel looks like they're sitting underneath a giant turd impaled on a tree, that's just, shedding poop flakes.

Even viewing them purely in a vacuum and not as a daily update in an ongoing comic, it's still a picture of a vagina and then a bush, so I will respectfully disagree. No dialogue, though.

It’s too bad this page is just chock full of content, if he coulda squeaked two or three more panels in there it would’ve been easy to notice. Also gonna bet it all on this scenario: When the two stop to rest for the night Snout will get naked, and the ink witch will go “Oh, so we’re doing that” then she’ll get naked, and Snout will freak out like in the animes.

As a feminist, I thought it was appropriate to draw as many gratuitous vulva shots as gratuitous dick pics. I also wanted confront the male gaze and flex my artistic muscles to show that a live woman's body isn't inherently sexual. Rock on. Rocks off.

Due to the inconsistency of the landscape in the wild edge, I thought they just randomly found a tree in the void and Mookie wanted to show off his ink filter. I didn't think the witch used her brush. That matters, I guess. If she can just make poo poo, why aren't they flying in a ship or something? Why are they walking?

Yes, based on the previous illustrations he's done of her, she is literally Ink Bayonetta, her dress is made of ink. It's possible he changed his mind about that for the comic though. (But I doubt it.)
