Thanks. Back to the comic, I'm more fascinated than ever as to what crime or transgression Snout or his parents must have committed to be exiled. Who were his people? Who were his parents? He doesn't read like a feral loner or a hermit, just a socially maladjusted nerd.

Snout was probably ostracized for being a creep, with the other mongrelfolk quietly moving away rather than call him out for being inappropriate.

Snout was banished for his inability to get a boner and participate in the mandatory orgies

Real fuckin’ villainous purchasing that book with your own money. Snout gets his money from mommy like a true hero.

I'm sorry, why does the villain buy the book again? He's a villain and has magic to put people to sleep with. He can just walk in, magick the creepy owner asleep, and take the book without paying.

Well if you remember previously, he wasn't stealing the pages back from Snout, but reclaiming what he rightfully owned.

Okay so what was the point of the last like six strips then if they can just get more money the next day and go back to buy it? Why even have a plot obstacle that gets resolved instantly and with no real effort or time? Was it seriously just an excuse to get them both to go back to the hotel? Ugh.

Oh, so we just blast past being naked in bed together and have taken a step back to a week ago. What the gently caress is this? How did inkwich react to waking up with her dress off when she'd went to bed with it on? Wouldn't she assume Snout did some typically Deegan-esque things to her while she was asleep? Or does she just always sleep strip and this is normal behavior for her? If so, Mookie should've had this be textual so we can make fun of him for that. But nah, who cares about that. We need to have the comic catch up to the conclusion the thread reached like a month ago.

Man, the whole "no dialogue" thing is really highlighting just how loving objectified female characters are in DD. None of her feelings or opinions matter at all because she isn't even allowed to express herself. She does whatever the main character wants her to and can't say anything in response. This is like some sort of bizarre control fantasy.

Holy poo poo! That crafty orc villain with his dastardly deeds. How dare he purchase that book legally! ...The most passive of antagonists, for a story with no stakes.

We're going to find out he's not a villain at all, he's just a rare book collector the Ink Witches don't like because he stiffed them once on an ink reading by accident because he realized he was late to his daughter's soccer practice.

Ague Proof posted:It's supposed to be a quasi-medieval fantasy world. Not with bookstores like that, it's not. Like, if I wanted I could explain the role of books in medieval society and the difficulties of being a bookseller at the time, the costs of creating books... but this comic isn't worth that, so short form is that if a book store of the kind depicted exists, then book production is simple enough that there's literally no reason for it to have only one copy of a book it stocks normally

What the orc has done: - Used a sleep spell on Snout (which did not hurt him, despite what the Ink Witch claimed) - Took back the pages he already owned - Bought a book, legally What the Ink Witch has done: - Destroyed Snout's house - Led him around to do her bidding while lying about her identity - Put Snout in increasingly dangerous situations where he almsot died multiple times, just to find the pages that ended up saying a single inconsequential sentence - Did I mention destroyed his loving house Conclusion: The orc is the good guy. The Ink Witch is the villain. Ague Proof posted:It's supposed to be a quasi-medieval fantasy world.

Alternativly maybe the book sucks and is out of print, and maybe Snout should just have gone to city of glass eldariat (to die) library in the first place instead of wandering aimlessly until he ran into the plot.

Books specifically are mass-market consumer items in deeganland and not manuscripts painted by monks, as we know from the references to superhero comic books during the Snowsong arc.

I loving told you to steal that book Snout! Now the perfectly reasonable old man has it, all because you had to follow capitalism's dictates on private property towards... Hey wait a minute, wasn't the store a big mess last time they visited? Edit: Yeah, I just checked, all the shelves just had books lying unsorted or were broken and the walls had posters, I think. The only consistent details are the cracks in the walls and the copy-pasted exterior. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Apr 8, 2020 |

What? We do. They were called "action books" because Mookie is a dweeb. Greg drew doujins of himself as "Supergreg." In a different arc, Luna gives Dominic an issue of some superhero he likes, but the character had been rebooted as an edgy 90s antihero so it was a bad gift actually because women can't do anything right in deeganland due to their inferior lady brains.

In point of fact she buys him like a collected omnibus of his favorite heman type "action book", and only on the last page is an ad for a rebooted series that's all gritty 90's. This causes Dominic sadness (the last page that is) and then Luna rants for 8 panels about how thoughtless she was not to read every goddamn page of the comic to make sure it didn't harm Dominic's fragile constitution.
