lol is he now drawing some people actually loving instead of limp dick softcore now?

My guess is it's all going to be drawn from angles like in the preview so he doesn't have to draw penetration. If I am lucky, I will never find out.

Friday's cliffhanger was about how corpsemomdaughterwife can finally speak and we could potentially learn what his deal is but that's completely ignored so that we can assure Snout his mediocrity in a field he's taken such an interest in understanding is ok and doesn't need to be worked on.

On top of the fact that Mookie needs to have everyone praise Snout at all times, conveying that without speech would take effort that he doesn't want to put in.

So this is all really about Mookie not growing as a person or artist in a long long time and how it's OK and he should still be praised constantly?

Plant man did something, then all of a sudden he's picking up Snout's diary? And how does he know anything about Snout being kind? He just met him!

Mookie has no theory of mind and this has been a thing that was apparent since the old comic. Whenever the audience or one character learns a piece of information, that piece of information immediately becomes universal knowledge to all characters in the comic. There are like a handful of exceptions but by and large it's literally a universal truth to the comics. Like Mookie honestly seems to lack a theory of mind.

Well you see, they got to know each other very well through extensive interactions. All this happened between pages away from the reader's view, and during that time not a single person there thought to go get Corpsemommy some clothes.

It's not just what's known, it's also what's important. It's like how everyone was going on about the football guy and the stripper all through the Storm of Souls.

That's rad. What is this? A Dorling Kindersly book about Cuchulain?

I heard a radio special where an Irish classics professor read some stuff about Cuchulain's battle spasms and said to the host "Does this remind you of anything? Cuchalain is essentially going Super Saiyan. It's the same basic paradigm." and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since.

He's closing up his chest in one panel and in the next his hands are in the same position but they're holding Snout's diary.

Yeah. I think that's probably also why all the characters seem to share a single hivemind as well--that's the way it works in SNES-era JRPGs. Characters other than the player are mostly just dialogue-dispensing kiosks that sit around waiting for the player to interact with them. If the player hasn't obtained the crystal widget yet, then all anybody wants to talk about is the local legend about a strange crystal hidden somewhere in the caves north of town. Once the player obtains the crystal widget, everybody instantly knows about it, and will now helpfully mention that the witch who lives in the swamp east of town is an expert on crystal widgets. And so on. They're not so much characters as post-it notes that get updated periodically.

It really screams like Mookie doesn't know how to communicate with a PWD, much less how to put any effort in doing so, which he thinks toooootally justifies the casual violation of privacy here to glean into Snout's thoughts.

But yeah I don't want this comic to end either. Not only did Mookie not learn anything about art or storytelling, even by accident, while doing Dominic Deegan, he seems to have actually forgotten the little bit he did know. It's kind of incredible.

You could paste the last few pages in random order and I'm not sure it would make much of a difference. The narrative is that fractured. This scene is about like five completely separate things and instead of delving into any of them Mookie just keeps leaping from one to another.

It is incredibly cool that a black-coded character who was defined by her out-of-control violence and inability to communicate has both of these instantly corrected with magic, and that the first words out of her mouth are to praise her savior for putting up with her emotions and taking care of her and teaching her about kindness and written language and clothing (that she inexplicably stopped wearing during her latest breakdown)

I don't even think this is a case of Mookie realizing how terrible her portrayal before now was and clumsily trying to change that within the story, because instead of fixing anything it doubles down on earlier impressions of Snout being... I don't want to assume he's analogous to white because he's of a fantasy species with no clear equivalent to any real-world culture, and there's always the chance Mookie will indicate something else in the future. But at the moment Snout and Corpselady's dynamics have been reminiscent of white savior tropes for a long while, and this page nails it in.

Why does she still not have a name? Why can't her first words be, perhaps, asserting her identity to all these people who've spent the past day dehumanizing her and asking her "what" she is? Ignoring the meta reading that her identity is solely about Snout and making him feel better.
