Oh good, I'm not the only person who thought that was a weird title for an autobiography.

NVM the strip is about orc history now. Mookie literally cannot stay on a topic for longer than one month

I'm still catching up to Beelzebufo's posts about Snowsong but I can already tell I'm in for a doozy here. Thanks for doing this, by the way. Your analysis really helps underline why Mookie is such a loving hack and why DD gets mocked so much.TheHan posted:
loving  at Snout cracking his knuckles here. Mookie wants us to think he's about to do some intense work when we've all seen how Snout folds like a wet blanket when faced with something remotely challenging. Just have Veth give Snout yet another book with all the answer, at least it'll be more honest.

Bulgak Adrak is the dead infernomancer from War in Hell. Adrak Bulgak is his brother. Not joking, Mookie thought that was clever. Thuen Gor named his kids Bulgak Adrak and Adrak Bulgak

I totally forgot about him ever having a brother mentioned. This is an unfortunate naming situation and will not help with readability.

There's a whole jokey bit about how he's Adrak Bulgak, not Bulgak Adrak. Bulgak is dead and goes to hell, and then eventually explodes.

catlord posted:Yeah... like I said, I am dreading this one. What little I've heard of it sounds... very bad in a lot of ways. IIRC, to give context, the next arc (if it’s the one I’m thinking it is) was written after… a certain incident in Mookie’s personal life that influenced a lot of what happens in the comic with incredibly obvious parallels.

As bad as Snout at the Library is, anything is better than the post-Mongreltown loop of walk, teach corpsemom to read, naked dreaming, repeat. If I were in his place, with his kind of power, I'd get revenge by telling a ton of innocuous fortunes that ended up leading to her death in a Rube Goldberg-esque scenario.

I know it would be beneficial to see where things end up, but I just fail to see what any of this has to do with what was already established. It's just more meandering. It's really hard to give the benefit of the doubt.

I'm still not sure I'm familiar with any of them, or even what the mystery even is - they seem to have a pretty clear understanding of Dominic's effect on the world, and Luna's contribution to the Orcs seems pretty well documented.

Every few chapters the subject of the story changes, never to return to what it once was. Genuinely wondering if corpse mom will be important again. This orc tour feels like the same level of focus shift that the vine house was. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't actively ignoring Deegan related hooks to read about this. EDIT: it would be really funny if Snout spent all day reading about Adrak only for Veth to return and be like "what the gently caress I showed you that poem because it was cowritten by Dominic's brother."

Not sure why I'm doing this... I just noticed, why is his hair on the INSIDE of his arm in the 3rd image???   He reshades and redraws the details each time, so either he's tracing, or he's got basic outlines he copy/pastes and fills in. As the comic goes on, I wonder if he'll build up enough poses that he'll never have to totally redraw Snout again? Also I hate his shoulder boils more and more every day. Snout is such a loving gross character design, the only part of him that's marginally acceptable is his face. Why everyone wants to

Why everyone wants to When I went back and looked at earlier parts of the comic the shoulder boils were much smaller, more like freckles or little round scales, so I have to assume them growing means they're going to burst eventually
