I'm not sure he will just because he is not building to anything. A good writer would actually have an outline or plot points they are building towards.

Like I think there is still good odds he will abandon this comic before anything happens.

Grind, you poor fool!
Grind straight for the stars!
My first thought after reading this page was that Mookie was using the Super Special Archive for Snout Eyes Only as a way to railroad us into explaining the legacy and ending the comic with a big wet fart, but I don't think Mookie is capable of something that disappointing.

Mookie had the tenacity to keep his original comic going for years after all the fansites went rogue and I would not be surprised for him to keep his new comic going on its current trajectory for a decade. Although I'm not sure about the odds of anything happening.

With very little in the way of divergence or exceptions the only audience Mookie considers, has ever considered, and probably will ever consider is himself. I know I said it before in this thread, but Mookie's comics are the 'artistic' equivalent of masturbation; he's not really considering anyone's satisfaction save his own. I strongly suspect that if Mookie ever stops making this comic before it's 'end' it will be because he got some kind of new job that demands nearly all of his free time, or because he got seriously ill/injured or - and God forbid and all that because he's a dork and an idiot with some issues but I don't wish harm on him or his family - something bad happened to his family and he had to spend more time caring for them and/or got in a funk.
But barring a new job or Mookie suffering physical or emotional trauma, I cannot imagine him stopping this 'story' until it is 'done'. Considering this is a non-story even by his standards, I have no idea what that would even look like, but I'm excited to find out!

EDIT: Like you might say Mookie could lose interest and stop doing the story, and that wouldn't negate my thesis about his primary audience being himself, but like the thing is that's clearly already happened a few times in this comic. All that seems to happen when Mookie loses interest is that the 'story' of this 'narrative' completely shifts to whatever his new interest is. Mookie isn't going to suddenly stop doing this comic and start a new, he'll just radically transform this comic to fit his latest passing interest.

Mookie has a very "good people are good" "bad people are bad" world view in all of his work not just original dd

Wasn't the Big Bad Unknowable Horror at the end of the original DD basically killed by a bad-guy/shades-of-grey character in what would in any other story be essentially a redemptive self-sacrifice and then from the panel after he dies to the end nothing is mentioned of him again? Or am I grossly misremembering?

We're up to the point in the comic recap where that character is currently working against the ultimate horror behind the scenes and it's utterly ridiculous how many times he keeps popping up to say how increasingly dire things have got while Dominic continues to fart around with trivial bullshit.

No no no, the real question is whether Dominic's inevitable appearance in Legacy will be to appear in Snout's dreams in full frontal.

A Dominic Dongan, if you will.

No, that's exactly what happens.

Did anyone notice there's a new blog post? It's mostly pleasantries, but the following stands out:

Mookie posted:

"[...] I’m not done yet. In fact, I feel like The Legacy is only really just getting started! The last two years have been focused on establishing Snout as a new protagonist, and dropping hints about the way the world has changed since the Oracle for Hire years. Now that you’re all more familiar with Snout, the Ink Witch, and Arudak, I feel like it’s time to really get into the mystery of Dominic’s legacy. I’m excited to show you what Snout has yet to discover."

Reading this, I feel like I'm watching some lovely fantasy adventure show and they just finished beating a tough monster, then the camera pans back and reveals it was the baby one and its mother is here to kick the poo poo out of them.

What bullshit is "establishing Snout." As FuegoFish said about a different lovely comic, if you don't mention anything that has happened in the comic, his physical appearance, or that he is deaf, you can't say poo poo about Snout.

Listen it takes a lot of time to establish just how boring and pointless snout is

Riot Bus

The stupid thing about this is that there's no reason that anything Snout is learning here should be particularly unique or interesting when he's already living with two Dominic-focused scholars. Like, sure, this book is considered rare, but certainly Arudak could have gotten some time with it in the past if he wanted? So much of this information you can only logically assume Ink Witch and Arudak already know, which makes Snout's meandering discovery of it sort of pointless. Why didn't they just tell him this poo poo, if attaining this info is as simple as going to the library?

Or it seriously supposed to be like the waitlist is so long that an established academic isn't allowed to read it but any mongrelman that wanders in is? If so, what an idiotic system.

We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




Oh, or it could be explained that the book is enchanted so that it appears to be gibberish to everyone except the people that it’s author intended it for, and Snout is one of them because ???

Though that would imply some intrigue about why someone would write an entire magically cryptogrammed book, especially when it doesn’t even appear to be anything special about the actual revealed content aside from posthumously sucking Dominic off one more time.

snout is kind and caring, except when nobody is paying attention to him or when his terminally ill friend's doctor is rude to him, then he's too mopey to feel any empathy for other people

It's pretty funny that mookie thinks that snout has only become the protagonist now that he has become the subject of a Deegan prophecy. No-one's allowed to take the leading role unless Dominic deems them worthy.

Something I realized today, in the exact opposite of how I feel during DD:

If in legacy, he all of a sudden introduces Jocks who dump Snout's books at the library and slam him into his setting's equivalent of a high school locker, I'd love it. Like I would suddenly gain appreciation for the comic.

I'm a bit in and so far it's been a hodgepodge of every creation myth where Adam and Eve are in a weird relationship with hermaphroditic space clone assassins, meanwhile the greek pantheon is being formed by Mithras loving around on earth and having sex with Gaia, whose secret boyfriend is Noah who is trying to reach enlightenment and there's a gnome king causing problems behind the scenes.

The artist was apparently one of the main staff of adventure time and it shows, this comic is weird and it loving rules and im glad to have been introduced to it
