Didn't the pagemaster bring him to the tree because it had one of the last pages? Or did it bring him here to get the sap and just decided not to get the last two pages

I also got mixed up for a bit and forgot that the last page in that panel is new.

Ok so panel 1 is getting new page, panel 2 is getting sap, and panel 3 is back at cave. That's really hard to intuit from the art itself. It's only really thinking about it that makes it clear.

So ever since we say Snout's misshapen dick and ever since we've wondered when he was going to do full frontal female nudity. And now we know.

Ok, wait. He needed this glue to somehow fix the page, but so far as we can tell, it didn't magically fix the page. It's literally just holding the scraps of the interior of the page together. Scraps that were already there, and have been there the whole time. It seemed like this glue was somehow going to magically fill in the missing pieces, but no, it's just regular loving glue. The pieces were there the whole time. All he had to do was just flatten the page out and move them into place to read it. The glue was pointless. The tree was pointless. Everything is pointless. Everything is pointless.

I think most of the words in the middle were partially missing but they were all pretty easy to discern even in their mangled state so fixing them really means nothing to us. The only thing that could possibly matter for the audience here is Snout's sense of accomplishment, and if you feel like that's unearned it's because it is.

He also found another page. So we now have two full sentences of text about Dominic Deegan. This is some really inefficient use of paper.

Page 3 was already legible and Page 4 is entirely redundant phrasing. How is this possible.

It's like he (Mookie) resolves basic obstacles quickly but keeps prolonging any real development of the major story. Which is pretty much how Dominic Deegan proper moved, of course. I recognize this part of the story, there's a mystery and the protagonist is kinda curious and in trying to find out will come across some larger conflict. That's... like the first 10 minutes of a movie. We're on page 60 of this nonsense if I'm reading the site correctly. That's nearly 3 issues of a normal-sized comic book. Even comics that are specifically "written for the trade" don't move like this. Also Snout is really the only character we've met so far and he is so boring. Visually in particular. I didn't think you could get more generic than "Wizard nerd guy" but here we are.

Yeah, you'd think the idea of the Mongrelmen would make for some interesting and creative designs, but Mookie isn't up to the challenge and they just come off looking awkward. Snout is at least better than Bort, who was repellant to look at. Snout just looks bland. Also that's not to imply Mongrelmen are a creative concept - I'm 100% sure he ripped them off from some D&D supplement.

You know, I'm down for a tree being full of hate and contemplating what exactly that would mean for a tree. I could totally see how a hateful tree would get so wound up in stabbing everything that it stabs itself, too. Where it falls flat is with it flipping the bird, which was a punchline that was apparently so good Mookie had to do it twice. That's a level of human awareness that really doesn't work with the physical embodiment of hate in a tree form. Even the "shoot the sign asking to be friends" thing could work as a punchline if it cut back to an expressionless tree, too. Because what more does a Hate Tree need to say? That was the whole baseline of Tess's classic Dominic Treegan edits, after all.

The whole premise of Dominic Deegan is based on an old D&D character of his, with several supporting cast members being other players' D&D characters. It's safe to assume that's where he pulls most of his fantasy concepts from.

It's amazing how little has happened in the real-life time period of the comic. A loving presidential impeachment has hit stage 2 in the time it's taking this dumbass story to put 3 sentences together on a bizarrely long piece of paper.

I still maintain that the inciting incident for a hero’s journey was right there. House blown up, new friend abducted, time to leave the familiar and explore the Dominic Deegan world of the future like you said we would. It feels like Mookie deliberately ignored it, did he get bored?

That and there's supposed to be two protagonists: Snout and the Ink Witch. One has spent most of her screen time either unconscious or as a literal loving piece of paper. He's so obsessed with drawing her on his Twitter and on his Patreon... Why does he not want her to enter the story? What possible narrative purpose does it have? I just... Don't know.
