144 pages into your sequel adventure and he gives you this look, what do you do.

Snout is inherently very curious, that's why he lived as a hermit for years and never ventured to the outside world until this very moment

Well, neither of them have vertigo I suppose.

Oh yeah, that's some peak hack poo poo. If you can't figure out why your main character is on their journey then at least have them not know why themselves and reveal that something else was manipulating them, or have them be in a place where they are re-evaluating their values and using the adventure as a means of self-discovery or something. I'm no loving writer but the sheer laziness of this is getting to me.

These are some quality edits. I know we've been joking about this heading towards a threesome, but is this heading towards a threesome?

Considering how Snout has been having a genuine emotional connection with Arudak and spending a lot of time getting to know him? Absolutely.

lol those loving trees in the last panel. I can't get past them. It's like they were copied and pasted out of some life instruction drawing

.....what the hell. We spent weeks of wacky wanderings in mogreltown while Snout cleared his head. And now that he's clear-headed, he's ready to continue his adventure of "lol, bored I guess." This is such a bad story.

Yeah no this is, like, 144 pages long so far. What's happened? Not much!

quote:If you employ too many do-nothing pages, you lose sight of the story. Not only their story, but the momentum of whatever tale they’re meant to move along. Seeing what a mighty hero does in their downtime is important, but seeing nothing but their coffee-time conversations can result in a Monty Python-like chorus of “GET ON WITH IT!” from your frustrated readers. Truly Snout's journeys in Mongreltown getting garbage vomited onto him are Mookie's Ulysses. Beelzebufo fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Jun 9, 2020 |

You know Mookie isn’t completely wrong about that “importance of doing nothing” in a story. He just forgot that in order for that to be effective, it must be contrasted with DOING SOMETHING! Ugg, time for another week off.

How did they find the only hotel room with not only no door but no doorframe to out a door in?

They just banged, right? Snout is just leaving a hostel room and there's a do not disturb sign on the door. Snout and Arudak totally banged.

The Ink Witch fits, like, every possible definition of a narcissistic, manipulative fake "best friend" type using Snout for her own ends. Snout has basically no understanding or context for the outside world and real relationships, she's hosed him over a bunch of times while begging him to help her, there's a TON of evidence that she has some nefarious scheme in mind for whatever the gently caress they're searching for, alienates anyone who's genuinely kind to Snout and helps him out, possibly used her tits to manipulate him as well, and pulls the "I just hope you can still trust me" card. Everything about her is awful.

I’m pretty sure we had someone quoting a blog post where he said the Ink Witch was based, at least visually, on his wife?

No, I think they mean that based on Snout’s positioning, he’s waving with the hand that the person he’s waving at can’t see.

Okay so judging by the perspective on the last panel, the cloaked orc guy has grown taller than the doors and almost reaches the ceiling. He's also walking into either a dead end or void.
