It has been less than two weeks since Snout met the Ink Witch and his house got exploded.
Has it even been one week? How many times have we seen Snout sleep?

There is no sense of geography in any of this, which makes all the walking especially pointless. They just happen across random things.

Come to think of it this is still just the driving sequences from Manos.

The testicle trees are pretty funny but I don't think mookie intended for it.

It's nuts how you only need to make a few changes to make this page better: Change the second panel into nighttime so that there's a better sense of time progression. Add in some cut-ins of Corpsemomwife making progress in learning how to write or Arudak and Ink Witch pointing Snout where he should go so we can tell that things are happening during the walk. Lastly, change the location of the last panel to where Snout needs to be so the story can finally move on.

I don't know if it would be good, but at least it wouldn't feel like such a massive waste of space.

I'm a great fan! When I watch TV I'm always saying "That's political correctness gone mad!"
Why thankyew!


this travel page would be more fun if it wasnt the millionth time it came up and also if something interesting happened in the meanwhile

It'd help if they interacted with the environments they visit in any meaningful way, but that would also require Mookie spending more than a single panel in them. As it is, every prolonged walking trip Snout goes on is just a series of postcards with no context as to why we should give a drat.

Remember when we thought Snout had been wandering for like, a week or three, and then we found out, no, only exactly as many days as times we'd seen him sleep passed?

First panel: Walking.
Second panel: A conflict happens!
Third panel: The conflict is resolved. Resume walking.

In a better comic with a competent writer, Snout would look at those plants crumbling into inky pieces and compare it to how Ink Witch always lets him down and that his trust on her is nothing more than a flimsy sham.

A tiny part of me is morbidly curious what horrible mutant monstrosity he thinks an erection should look like, but I'm absolutely not curious enough to check or pay for it.

I would be rather surprised if he drew an erection at all, he’s pretty consistently avoided it in all previous pictures.

This clearly isn't a purpose-built bridge.
There's apparently no time pressure for the journey.
All weird plants you have met have tried to kill you.
Take a day or two, look for a safer crossing.

Again, no major roads or trade routes just outside a major city, apparently.

He also titled that drawing "aftermath" so it's probably a flaccid dong except with jizz somewhere.

It's ok, they apparently crashed into a semi-fluid mass of Mookie's new brush setting, so I'm sure they're. safe?

are they still falling in that last panel? did they hit trees? water? did they fall into an ink witch dream???

Random guess: Snout will end up injured from the fall, but Corpsemomwife will turn out to be a white mage so there's no tension anyway. And I guess Corpsemomwife can heal by kissing Mookie's ouchies away or something.

I don't know what you're talking about. They almost fell off a cliff, then they didn't, and then they did. What more excitement do you want?

Next comic, they'll keep walking again.

Huh. A rare instance of mookie refusing his own diffusion of tension. Too bad there's no stakes to the tension, because any interest in the doings of these characters has been systematically assassinated by the author.
