Damnit Mookie. This wasn't even a library. You spent two strips establishing Mongrelperv as gross and pointless. So of course he has what the plot needs.

Gonna play tasty.

I was almost willing to give him credit on Lurid Dreaming as a good pun on Lucid Dreaming. Almost. But then he has Lewd Dreaming in the corner. Which is the same pun, but it doesn't work as well. And if you are going to put porn name authors, put them on all the books.

And in the previous strip, he is just trying to cram two different jokes together, and it doesn't work at all. Joke A is "character makes a fool of themselves trying to get the attention of a deaf or blind person", and Joke B is "character is so engrossed/disturbed by what they are reading that they don't react to the world at all".

Separately, the jokes would work. They wouldn't be funny because Mookie, but at least we could look at it and recognize that it would be possible to derive humor from the situation. By combining them, there is too much ambiguity.

I'm still thinking about how the bubble butt he drew must, because of the angle of perspective, have a left cheek twice the size of the right. How inconvenient would your life be with one normal cheek and one huge cheek.

Mookie has written himself into a corner and refuses to acknowledge that sometimes, hearing people talk to each other even when a deaf person is present.

But aside from that, it's just a mask of his terrible writing style and all the models he's using being chosen one self insert crap where no one but the main is allowed to actually do anything, regardless of how inconsequential. Inkwich can't possibly tell the clerk trivial information. The main has to do it! Funnels into Mookie's misogyny that these passive appendage characters are girls yada yada yada you've heard this before. I hope they move on from the item shop soon and we get back to baffling incompetence instead of dreary incompetence.

It's a mask of flaw scrubbing. Snout is deaf, but it will never cause him any problems, because everyone he runs into can read and write, even a race that is too stupid to read and write and is willing to communicate through notes and always carries a pen and a bunch of postits in a pre-industrial agrarian society.

Gnolls can canonically understand every language, so when they show up they'll be able to read Snout's facial expressions.

I don't think gnolls exist in deeganland. Have I forgotten them? It was a very long comic. I don't know of that as a power of theirs in D&D either, but admittedly I've only ever played 3rd edition. Is it a new power of theirs in 4 or 5, or does it come from 2 or prior?

Correct. No Gnolls. These are Mongrelfolk, original fantasy race do not steal.

It's been a few pages, but Mongrelfolk are also literally from dungeons and dragons.

The real reason gnolls don't exist in deeganland isn't that Mookie's worried about getting sued by Hasbro, but because he wouldn't be able to differentiate their hyena snouts from all the human snouts.

Gnolls aren't product identity and anyone can use them. That's why WoW and Pathfinder both have them.
I'm pretty sure Mongrelfolk are more iffy than Gnolls in terms of being copyright infringing.

You know how the worgs are the original canids do not steal version of Tolkien's wargs; the gnolls are D&D's original creature do not steal version of Dunsany's gnoles.

Mongrelfolk is just two dictionary words. Even if one of them is kinda a slur. It's going to be hard to claim intellectual property on it, just like it'd be hard to claim IP on "merfolk" or "ratfolk" or "smallfolk" or anything else like this. Mongrelfolks are in 2e, 3e, Pathfinder, and 5e. They might be in 4e also but it's kinda harder to quickly search for 4e content than for the rest.
