More than likely it's a cloud brush or filter of some kind. Using an edited photo is probably outside Mookie's range.

In two years Snout has learned so little about the Ink Witch's personality that the only names Mookie came up with are directly related to things she's done. Half of them are just things relating to ink. It's almost embarrassing how bad a job he's done giving her a character.

The second panel actually looks okay-ish. If the rest of the scenery shots looked like that I wouldn't have any complaints - it's nothing impressive, but it works. But instead this is an art style we've never, ever seen before, so it's pretty jarring, especially after the previous page and its depiction of water.

I'm pretty sure the second panel is just a photoshopped photo. It looks too realistic.

Now is the time for us to gather together and celebrate those things that we like and think are fun.
This will be redeemed of he makes the inkwitch repulsed by his decision. Like "corpsemom gets a real name and you call me cuddler" anger

Of course he won't, since the soft boi can do no wrong.

Two pages later, Snout makes an "Aha!" face and proudly underlines a name in his book. He goes off to show it to the Ink Witch. Her name is now Ink Witch. She hugs him. We all scream.

Where the gently caress does Daisy or Berry come from? Everything else is poo poo she's done or onomatopeia for wet ink.

Honestly I wouldn't be too bothered by that. Being able to draw clouds isn't an artistic ability I care much about - I'm sure many pro artists have used photos for backgrounds in subtle ways, and as long as it doesn't take away from the core of the image, who cares.

But the clashing with the previous minimalistic art style is very strange. He's NEVER had a background like this in the comic. Sure, some comics have sudden art style changes for artistic purposes, but that isn't an established thing in this comic, so it's just bizarre.

I think Berry is because Snout made ink out of berries at some point. Never mind that Berry or Daisy would have been more fitting names for Corpseaianda the literal plant-person.

He's probably going to pick Page which is just another stupid pun name that tells us nothing.

The fact that all of these weren't crossed out immediately is damning though.

One panel will be devoted to her making Good Boy bedroom eyes at him

I'm sorry, I will never get over the only other two main characters (both female) asking Snout to name them, while all the other male characters get names pretty much right away. Actual names of their own, at that.

It's just weird that it's happened twice now

"Cuddler" is the loving nadir though so that's definitely what he'll go with

"Squish" is worse, it's short for "boob squish"

Of the options presented, she's most likely to wind up "Page" because it's the only thing on there that resembles a real name.

I’m just, like…I’m baffled. You ask literally any human being to come up with a list of nicknames, how is there one that provides that one? How is Mookie?

MiracleFlare

Okay, that's a funny edit, now show me the real comic! ...Oh God no

The faintest praise I can give is that this feels consistent with what a guy named Snout might think are normal names. Kaianda got lucky she had a printed copy of babynames dot com with her or else she'd have probably been named Vines, Siren, or Punchyface. But then that begs the question, does she still have the name book? If she does, couldn't Snout borrow that for inspiration? Even if his name for the Ink Witch has to be a nickname, it's weird that a third of his names are just about how much he likes to cuddle with her. But like TheHan said, there's so little substance to her character that cuddling and flying (and crashing) planes is practically all Snout can work with.

I wonder if this is a setup to make her planned name more palatable. I suppose if he does reference back to the name book, there's always Dominque...

Yeah that's like the one good name on that list, I'd actually be ok if he picked that (and it'd be confirmation Mookie is reading this thread, hi Mookie).

Also lol @ Fibber, is that a Freudian slip? Is is Mookie intentionally acknowledging how much of a liar she has been to Snout?

Sleeping with? Yes, we've seen that several times.
