I just noticed Snout is circumcised in that pic when I'm pretty sure he wasn't in earlier strips. That or his dick is a finger.

Who What Now posted:There was incest in funky winkerbean?? Not explicitly, but the two blond-haired people in that strip (brother and sisters) were very close, and often gave each other Looks. With a capital L. i.e. not the kind of look one usually gives to their sibling. (If you're interested, come on over to the Comic Strip Megathread, I'm sure someone over there can regale you with the full story.)

 Is the Ink Witch blatantly manipulating Snout actually...canon? and that week of Snout writing down questions actually had a purpose? This page actually ain't bad.

Either way Snout is exceptionally dumb for going along with it. The question is whether Mookie intended for him to come off that dumb.

How...does that ink work there...he wiped ink across the words and then...wrote in white-out? Are the white letters negative space where he removed ink? How are we not seeing the original letters underneath? Did he write this with his finger? Snout has a pen!

Now I’m just imagining that there’s probably sectarian violence between the different groups of inkmancers based on what type of ink they use for their magic.

Ink Witch powers are passed down from one person to the other. For each generation there's only one Ink Witch, so when they get their powers they shed their old name and become just "The Ink Witch".

I just assumed they knew Snout called her Ink Witch and they told with it. Her real name is probably some sort of unholy marriage of Welsh and Russian.

How are we not seeing the original letters underneath? Did he write this with his finger? Snout has a pen! The implication by Mookie is that the ink on this page, which Snout has been carrying for weeks, is somehow still wet yet has not smudged. Arudak smeared the ink with the pad of his finger, and then scraped the ink away from the paper with that claw (which orcs do not have) Mookie conspicuously emphasized in the penultimate panel. He did not use ink magic to rearrange the letters (hey, why the hell not? Maybe that could provide a reason why he and inkwich are fighting: they are both inkmancers) which is why his finger has poo poo on it. Inkwich actually manipulating Snout would be too close to something that would happen in a real comic, so Arudak is just lying.

To determine who is trustworthy, Snout must sleep naked with a topless Arudak and not get a boner.

I know it's stupid of me to believe in him at this point, but it's so, so close to having self-awareness that I don't think there's a writer alive I wouldn't give the benefit of the doubt on this. In terms of doing something interesting with his story and the first interesting thing in the legacy ever Mookie's on the 1 yard line and up by 49 But I just know I'm gonna be disappointed.

Yeah, this shifts the problem from "character that is doing bad and shady poo poo is also unquestionably good" to "snout is a stupid protagonist that is not keeping pace with the audience". The only way to really save this is if Snout responds with "I know".

It's not even that the ink witch is lying to him. It's that he just stopped asking questions well before she'd really explained anything and just went along with whatever ill-justified plan they had. Snout is dumb as hell, and that's fine, writing a character dumb is not inherently bad writing. But he seems so arbitrarily and willfully dumb that it feels contrived.

So the next chapter is going to have Snout say 'I know' for sure then, because no Mookie protagonist is allowed to be outsmarted or not secretly in control of the situation behind the scenes for long.

In order for this feeeeeeeeeeemale to be evil and manipulative, she'd have to be smarter than his weird-dicked self-insert, and Mookie could never accept that, so his misogyny and hackiness work hand in hand in this scenario, as usual.
