PoptartsNinja posted:So how long until Snout's new mommy saves him? Yeah it’s gotta be this, Snout has such a total lack of agency that he wouldn’t even raise a hand to defend himself. He can either go up against non-threats or have third parties deal with his problems. Since we already know this guy is evil somebody’s gotta step in.

The only way to redeem snout as a character imo is to pull a classic bad anime trope and have him secretly be the vessel of an evil god or something and then his ridiculous passivity was in purpose of something like avoiding attention and letting him further something evil about Dominic or ink witches or something

He basically already did. I can't think of a single character that didn't suck Dominic's Deegan at some point in the comic.

If he had ended up changing gears more to Greg, who falls in love with like every modestly dressed woman he sees, it probably would have just become a harem series.

What mookie conveyed is that Snout dove to the floor to avoid it. Which probably means that he meant for snout to get hit, yeah.

Mookie's normally terrible with action scenes because he cannot convey motion well at all and has a poor sense of perspective. In this case... the vines on the club do actually serve as action lines. You can tell the swing is right-to-left and that snout's dodged it (and ate poo poo doing so), rather than an overhead and about to hit him. The fact that these action lines are coming as an existing feature of the club means that this was entirely accidental, of course. The fact that it can be confusing for people even though they are there affirms that also.

That is certainly possible. If that's the case, I think we can expect a tweet and/or blog post about it soon. Mookie tends to brag about the stuff he steals from, like it doesn't count if he says it first. A kind of "you can't fire me; I quit" attitude.

Billy Gnosis posted:Weren't they all Luna because Dominic is a good guy tm? Yep. 100% this. Chapter 8: Vision of DOOM [Part 4]  We start of strong with dominic immediatly receiving a vision letting him know the innkeeper is in on it.   Dominic then spies on the innkeeper 10 second later, and lucklily the innkeeper, in a world where magic surveillance seems routine, immediately starts discussing his evil plan with his imp servitor.  He then hurridely goes to meet up with all his co-conspirators, so the mystery of who they are can be done away with fast.  Extremly subtle plan there Dominic. Truly a masterwork of social engineering.  It of course works immediatly. But, in what would be a good twist if it had more buildup. Vilrath is not a scrub like his compatriots  He knows how to defend himself from creepy voyeurs like Dominic. I don't hate the magic effect, but I wish the glyph was less lazy.  Something bad threatens to happen!  Siggy, Jayden and Milov arrive in town... with Vilrath! How did that happen?   Oh ho ho, Vilrath is a wily one, he's come in posing as a hero. He knows a lot about Dominic's family too. All of this would work better if we didnt' already know he was evil, but at least Vilrath seems sneaky and clever and won't show his ha....  Never mind.  Oh Dominic, so brave. Hasn't really been characterized that way to this point, but whatever. Now starts the delicate game of cat and mouse, where both sides work to undermine each other in the eyes of their friends, a clever game of intrige that will certainly justify this extended set-u....   Nah, everybody believes Dominic and they all turn instantly on their new friend. Vilrath however, isn't intimidated by Siggy:   Siggy is brought to a new character who will feature more as the story goes on. Nurse Pam.   Vilrath is also a necromancer.  The bartender tries to curse the main trio, but Spark intercededs.  And Vilrath commits the biggest villain fauxpas ever "We'll deal with them later, they're unimportant". Dude you're a seer, you should know this won't work out, if Dominic is any inidcation.  Just kill the drat cat Vilrath. I actually didn't remember how quickly all the plot threads are revealed in this arc. It's just get to town, BOOM, here's your villain list, BOOM here's your motivation, BOOM here's you demonstration of villain power that won't matter at all. It's hilarious how quickly these strips move given what will happen later, like say, in Maltak. The setup is boring and cliche, and I never realized that this arc basically paints Barthis as a cultist town. Given how central it becomes to the setting, that's pretty hilarious. But yeah, prominent figures in the town are all part of a nebulous sacrifice ritual that we aren't told the purpose of. But hey, they're such nice people, unlike Lynn's Brook.

It’s weird to know where Mookie ultimately takes Siegfried (and why) in light of that scene with him in the infirmary. It’s pretty clearly supposed to be a sympathetic moment for the audience to see him like that... And yet, we all know that he’s eventually going to retroactively take a sharp turn into “irredeemable rear end in a top hat” territory.

I forgot to include it in the summary but I did want to say that, at this point in the comic, I don't hate the way the blight of the undead is drawn. It's recognizably unique in the in imagery of the setting that visually, you can start recognizing it instantly. It will subsequently begin outliving it's welcome though.

Don't forget braless black panties Luna on the right who not only is missing the necklace that the rest of the Lunas are wearing (at least the ones whose lower neck isn't obscured in some way) but whose right leg appears to merge into beige Luna's right leg, making it look like said leg is longer than the rest of her body. There's no shortage of artistic accidents, really.

My favorite part of that is that half the Lunas have a different skin tone than the other half, which have the same one as Dominic. Mookie must have misplaced a marker and figured, "Eh, close enough"
