I wonder if the only reason we're shown that Arudak has a totally dead girlfriend is because Mookie saw someone post that since Ink With is an abusive rear end in a top hat, Arudak would be a better love interest for Snout.

Second image result for "wizard lab".

No idea what phrase he used to find the photograph, but as mentioned, that could very well have just been a picture of him and his wife, so I'm not looking too hard.

Besides Mookie being so mediocre that photo Arudak has a radically different body type than current Arudak I like that all the elbows are how he used to draw front facing noses.

Maybe this means the comic will end with the next page revealing the legacy. Then all of us posters will be free.

For a comic that's half pointless landscape travel montages, Mookie sure drops drawing backgrounds real quick if he thinks he can get away with it.

Yeah I mean my first thought is that they're papered on the wall like

and Snout's expression is him realising what he's trapped with now.

Riot Bus
Jan 8, 2020
Yeah, the fact that he's looking up seems to imply the wall, I'm just sort of enchanted by the fact that he spent three panels on the last page having Snout notice and look at a photograph, and then on this page these notes are just hanging in a white void with no hint of their existence in the establishing shot.

In the ultimate culmination of his character arc Dominic Deegan gets to play daddy for the entire world and seal away the vision magic he abused his entire life.

We know Mookie used to play Dungeons and Dragons, does anyone know if he ever played Pathfinder or if he wasn't able to find anyone willing to play with him by then.
Since, you know, 'prophecy no longer works' is a thing there.

Also didn't Mookie Prime lose his powers at the end of the comic? So this is not only Mookie Prime making sure no one can ever be as special as him again, but also 'if I can't have powers then neither can anyone else!'

Wasn't one of the points of Dominic Deegan that the average person thought Seers like Dominic were trash wizards compared to battle mages or whatever?

He did the bulk of Deegan before pathfinder came out, so I think that may be a coincidence.

Yes, after beating the final boss, Dominic lost his oracular bullshit.

Yes, but like anything else that inconveniences him about his own canon, Mookie ignores it when it creates problems and/or he forgets.

Oh, yeah, no, Dom losing his powers was a cargo cult of other things I wont mention for sake of spoilers. But I believe this is the first we are hearing that all seer magic stopped working.
Unless I'm misremembering, the original ending of DD was that Callan no longer had magical supremacy but still had magic, and that Mookie personally lost magic.

In pretty much all the original DD we've had in this thread, Dominic is basically the only seer anyway. He is the one to whom information is given. So prophecy not being around anymore means nothing.

Rotten Red Rod

A lot to unpack on this page.

1. Snout's proportions completely changed from the previous page. Mookie drew his torso and legs way too long and it looks clearly off.

2. Previous page: Magic has changed! VISIONS ARE GONE! This page: oh also battle magic is gone but whatev who cares

3. Dominic made magic... "Gentle?" What the gently caress? What a bizarre way to describe it. Also, here's your new "gentle" magic:



Not a tool for battle at all!

4. What Dominic did was a GOOD AND WONDERFUL THING AND THE WORLD IS BETTER! And we're trying to find out what he did exactly. That's it, that's the entire plot.

5. Still no mention of what exactly Snout has to do with any of this.
