The good news is that Mookie's a coward. If any of the last 6 guys unironically reading the legacy ever went "this doesn't feel cool" he'd backpedal so hard the corpsewife would've never been black to begin with. I think even if you asked plainly he wouldn't confirm it one way or the other.

I'd be kind of curious what his site analytics are like. I mean, we know his readership is not what it used to be

For some reason him copy pasting almost an entire page worth of panels that happened only a few pages ago has taken my ire for this comic to the boiling point. It's like, you know that using the same panels to show him getting beat up again makes it look like it's meant to be a call back gag, right?

Along with the racism, it’s really bizarre how this character who just came into existence recently and has just learned to read has these random, weirdly directed fits of rage. It’s inexplicable that ‘literal child in a naked lady’s body’ is the person Mookie is willing to make abusive. Is the abusive corpse daughter wife meant to be anyone or anything or just meant to make Snout more pitiable by abusing him?

Yeah, I wish I knew where he was going with this but at the same time I'm not sure I do? Doesn't help that this thing moves at such a snail's pace and who knows if any of these plot threads will get any sort of resolution (or development!) anytime soon.

Everything gets resolved quickly when the one-winged mongrel man suddenly falls out of the sky and smashes into Snout and Corpsemom

I want to hope that even Mookie is smart enough to know now that "feral, violent, and must be taught language and life skills by a more rational character" would be a terrible arc to give to a character of color. But then again, he gave us Bumper and thought it made him an ally.* I'm... going to tentatively hope that he's just given no thought at all to her appearance besides "wow it's easy to scribble with an ink brush" and is so self-absorbed that he's not thinking out the implications. Realistically, I'm prepared for the worst.** ( * And while the topic's moved on from it, I do wanna say: The OfH rereads are very insightful, as they give context to much of his present writing and establish how certain points are patterns that persist even now.) Come to think of it, has he ever drawn the Legacy cast in color? For some reason I want to say Ink Witch is a redhead, except I cannot remember any drawing that actually suggests that and I may just be pulling colors out of my rear end. Coincidentally, rear end-pulls are a vital part of the DD creative process. I'm not totally sure what he's even going for with this subplot. Either the only way he can characterize Corpselady is by making her do the opposite of Ink Witch ("instead of hugging Snount suddenly, she punches him suddenly! "), or he's trying to set up Snout as a martyr who forgives all wrongs done to him and is a kind and pure soul who's worthy of... whatever plot device he'll come up with eventually. ** Edit: Peeked into the archives just to double-check something and realized how slim and... neat? that Snout's face structure now compares to how broadly animal-like it was at the beginning. Also yeah, looking at Corpselady's face again I'm starting to think Mookie is making a deliberate choice and does know what he's suggesting. Goddammit.

I'm not gonna fault him for his character designs being refined as the comic goes on. I'm sure a lot of people here remember the early days of Gunnerkrigg Court and Annie's football head.

Early Snout was actually better in my opinion. The smoothing out of his features is def due to the switch to digital, while the lumpiness and beady eyes made him look more animal like.

Yeah new Snout looks like an anime dog boy, and not even a good one.

Legosi is a good boy bummed Beastars ended I definitely agree with whoever said (this was a while back) that they would have a lot of respect for mookie if he just came out and said that Legacy was mostly for himself and he was posting it in the hope that there might be someone else out there who got some enjoyment out of it...but at the end of the day it was definitely just for mookie's personally satisfaction as an artist. The idea that he's doing Legacy with an audience in mind is just...I dont know, it's kind of sad. Especially after seeing how little he's imporved or grown as an artist. Reminds me of a (former) friend of mine who was somewhat popular among our local con scene back in the 2000's and just never grew past that despite everyone else moving on and growing as people.

Is the abusive corpse daughter wife meant to be anyone or anything or just meant to make Snout more pitiable by abusing him? This keeps bothering me and I’ve realized why: there’s no perception of the actual power differential here. Snout is being physically abused and sexually harassed by, effectively, a child. Mookie’s understanding of the power dynamics between Snout and his abusive corpsedaughtermomwife is bizarrely attenuated but it has to be, because he doesn’t see an issue with having a corpsedaughtermomwife in the first place.

Given that he was supposed to be a mongrel man, the switch from more realistic dog anatomy to this UwU anime catboy has been a move in the wrong direction for making the character sympathetic. It's not just smothing out either, he started out wiht more of an actuall muzzle and an almost batlike nose, but now it's straight into anime character.

I’m not really an art person, but even I dislike how his face has basically been locked into “sad tiny dog” for a while now.

I’m going to say that the fact of Terraciano’s tracing isn’t a problem; it’s better than pasting a speech-bubble on a photo-collage or something. The vexing thing is that he’s somehow bad at tracing. Like, he’ll usually just do a vague outline around a shape - so that, say, a dude’s head will look as though it’s been dipped in taffy. That, or certain parts of the image will be relatively hyperdetailed, or incongruously wedged into the composition. One good example would be the recent handful of large-panel dramatic poses, where the ‘camera’ points up from ground-level and there’s suddenly perspective. Another is where Snout’s outstretched neck and lower jaw have fairly precise human anatomy, while his eye bugs out the side of his head, and his nose looks like a mass of wet tissue paper. That, and none of it matches the angle of the torso. Better tracing, while still disappointing, wouldn’t be too far off from simple photo-reference. But he’s not really looking at the anatomy at all, as you can tell from the characters with exposed musculature.

Yeah how he hosed up tracing the eyes on the Frankenstein monster image stands out to me in particular.

Indeed, looking forward to when you start again, and I hope doing this retrospective gives you the same catharsis and enjoyment my Star Power one did. I really enjoyed doing it and it took my mind off a difficult time (the start of the pandemic). So take the time you need, and we appreciate you!

my favorite part about stunt's mysogyny is that since he is technically on the good guy side, he must be scrubbed clean of all moral culpability, so his misogynistic outbursts are retconned to be a woman's fault

First, he killed his mother by "slitting her nasty throat," later, he explains he reluctantly killed her in self-defense because she was physically abusive towards him, and finally, he merely slipped on a banana peel with his knife out while catching her with her lesbian lover and most definitely got her in the midsection, no throat in sight. I'm really looking forward to the Eldariat to Die arc, in other words. I want to hop on the pile and say hope you're well, The Little Death and we appreciate you. Take all the time you need. You've certainly earned it the hard way.
