I didn't even notice the legs initially. Yeah they are. But I was more confused about what expression Mookie is trying to have her convey (and what is she doing with her hands? Is she supposed to be confused by water? )

We're clearly going to get a scene where Snout accidentally trips and falls and gropes her, and she gets mad and punches him into the sky, just like in Mookie's animes.

I know Snout wouldn't think it's weird to take a bath with Corpsemomwife because he's a weird little hermit who doesn't even hesitate to sleep naked beside an unconscious woman, but you'd think at least Ink Witch and Arudak would know about social mores and have them take separate turns at the bath.

Mookie wants to play this off as some innocent thing but it just comes across as really loving creepy.

And yet SNOUT was the shy one when the Ink Witch snuggled up next to him and when his clothes were stolen at the shower. He made noise about Snout not being bothered about being nude, but then wasn't consistent at all with it.

Part of Dominic Deegan's legacy was to abolish those social norms. 200 years in the future, people are free to just hang around naked as much as they want. The team will find a holy scripture with the order to stop being so clothesminded.

Ink Witch slept naked so she could snuggle Snout's elbow between her tits and Arudak proudly splayed his dream-cock for everyone to see. They're all weird gross perverts.

I know it's a black and white comic, but Corpsemom is clearly supposed to be black and an abusive black woman who doesn't know how to wash her hair because she's mentally a child is a real bad look.

Corpsemomchildwife being Mookie's one black character in this comic is a bad look at every single junction. "She's weird and unnatural and not a person, violent, childlike, in need of education by our weird dog-man protagonist ... I know!"

Yeah. She'd leave a sour taste in my mouth even if she was lily-white, but it just adds this whole other layer of tone-deaf racism wrapped up in Mookie thinking he's being ~progressive~.

EDIT: Going waaaaaay back, I also think it was a really bad choice to have Bumper kill, uh, the rear end-up dead lady whose name I can't remember. I think it would have been better to have him walk away, then have Stunt kill her. It doesn't go the whole, 'angry, murderous black man' route, and it establishes a sort of ride-together, die-together loyalty between them.

Bringing up spoilers from Friday's comic since it's relevant: Post-bath it's clear that yes her hair is afro-textured, and yes of course it's good ol Snout who has to teach her how to properly style her own hair and dress herself up and ughhhhh

I can almost see where Mookie might have somehow have not thought this through. Maybe "feral necromancy horror" and "diverse cast" began as separate thoughts until he decided that since both called for new characters he should just combine the two concepts. But even if, if that was the case the fact that he apparently at no point has realized how this hits almost every box on the "terrible savage caricatures" checklist is very telling on the amount of thought put into the story. Double given the societal environment of the past decade and especially past year, triple given that he's well aware of the backlash about Bumper. I can't remember if he's drawn any of the cast of Legacy in color yet and that's his one way to try and backpedal out of this, but given the past he's more likely to keep digging downwards.

I'm late to the topic but this seems like a good time to point out again that none of the women of Legacy (besides Kazya, but she hasn't shown up in-person and is currently just an accessory to Arudak) have had their true names revealed yet, and Corpselady doesn't even have a nickname or a title. She's also the only one whose name is implied to be so alien in nature that it can't even be rendered in written speech*. You know, just in case there weren't enough red flags already.

(* Unless the ink disintegrating was Ink Witch's own doing, which wouldn't be out-of-character for her.)

Validate Me!


It's such a weird transition too. Last comic Snout was asking all of his four questions (none of which included "why did you guys leave me in mongreltown?") and then...Arudak just approaches him, narrow-eyed and leads him off to be stripped naked, with no apparent explanation provided.

Like, it'd be one thing if the last question involved getting a bath, or fresh clothes or saying they were tired...but he asked about eating. Likewise, you could just communicate it visually by having snout do something like leave a grubby handprint on something, or be visibly sweaty or tired and have Arudak notice that. Even just showing that he's maybe distressed or overwhelmed by the situation and needs to relax. But none of that comes across. It's just...suddenly bath time.

EDIT: re-examining, I think those two lines by Arudak's nose indicate he's sniffing snout. That's...not exactly a lot of body language to go off of.

Why would you trust Snout to style your hair? He's a smelly mountain hermit who doesn't take a brush to his rat's nest of a hair. To say nothing of the awful body hair sprouting out of him like kudzu.

I get the feeling Mookie watched Steven Universe with his kid, saw how Steven was this pure, soft boy that a lot of people like online, and wanted to copy that for Snout. Except it's Mookie writing, so Snout ends up being this weird creepy Nice Guy who women keep cuddling naked against his will.

Yup, that's got the Final Fantasy white mage trim with the triangles that Mookie used for Luna in og DD. Which I guess means Arudak is also connected to the Deegans somehow. Between this and the possibility of Ink Witch being a Deegan the world mookie's presenting is once again shrinking rapidly.

Looking at this again it's actually that she's just such a wee lil baby that she couldn't put on the dress right, exposing her whole right side. It's a toss up on whether he'll have Snout dress her properly like a child or she'll walk around like that.

He also keeps flipping which side of the arm Snout's hair is on and leaving out his elbow spikes, but in this case you can see the rest of her shirt caught in-between the sash of the skirt.



Instead of being one long dress this outfit comes in 4 pieces: A top sash, a piece of fabric you tie into the top and bottom sashes, the bottom sash and a skirt you tie into the bottom band.

Because he didn't draw her nipple (and I don't see any scars), I assumed it was skin-tight fabric on her torso. I can see where you're coming from, but I guess we won't know for sure until next time.
