What's on your mind, Axa?
Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to go through life just, completely incapable of introspection. I think this might be the cringiest thing I'll see this month, which is wild since it literally was posted in the 1st.

I don't think it seems braggy because this is just how he writes everything, that kind of voiceless, aggressively mild, minimal effort style that has been noticed.

Beyond the fact they these compliments are all about being inoffensive and nonthreatening, (and two of the three were from like 20 years ago,) which, ok, not terrible, why are they all from queer women?

If I didn't know who this guy was, I might look askance at it but make the effort to give the benefit of the doubt.

Having seen this dude's output dealing with gay males and queer people in general I'm pretty comfortable thinking that this guy either self-selects for only associating with queer women or that any interaction with queer masc people was not so "I'm an easy going, safe straight guy!" that gathered kudos.

Or probably both.

Last strip made it look like they were about to crash, but they landed just fine? Snout's shock and fear in the last page is just forgotten.

Also... for the Ink Witch and Arudak to arrive this soon, but travelling by air rather than teleporting, and given how we had a whole loving miniarc about how flying cross-country is slow, they can't have started long after Snout and Kaianda left... so why didn't they just go with them through the teleporter? Either mookie didn't think about this at all (highly likely) or he had something else planned for Ink Witch and Arudak to be doing while Snout and Kaianda were away but he scrapped it because he's bored and wants to end the Legacy (also highly likely).

If he is trying to wrap this up quickly, I really hope he just. Never brings up Redactor and Punch McBaldy again. Just completley forgets to resolve any of this until several months into the new comic when somebody mentions it to him

That's just how it lands, I think. Or rather, it doesn't land, it just skitters around unevenly and then squirts you out in a splatter of ink in midair as it dissolves.

God drat it, I'd forgotten he was naked. On first glance I just assumed he was wearing his dumb overalls again, since they are drawn with the same texture as his.. skin? Fur?

Naked makes this so much more gross.

That's what happened last time they were separated in the Wild Edge, so it'd be extra funny if Mookie had them deliberately split up so that he could the same thing again in the same place.

I think my favorite part of this is that we know this is nonsexual hugging but oh no can't press my dick up against Arudak in a tight hug, only lady.

The collected volumes on Mookie's gumroad are listed as covering everything up to the end of the Seeking the Path chapter, which means we're only about 60 pages into what will become Volume 4. It may be the last volume, but I could see Mookie forcing himself to continue until he has enough material to match the page count of the others, which means the comic might continue sputtering forward on fumes until October or November.

I'm of the opinion that Arudak was put into the list of Lunas entirely to offset Snout deliberately sexually assaulting Kaianda to power up his dream magic.

I mean, the more I think about it, the more hilarious it is

Snout is buck naked, dripping with fetid mud-water from the world’s filthiest swimming hole

He clasps Arduak by the arms in manly fashion and then rubs his wet stinking muddy naked body all over Ink Witch in a full body pubis mound-grinding-into-you hug

Like, there are a million funny ways to handle this situation, and a couple of good dramatic ways, and then there’s Mookie’s way, which is to forget all of the details you built in and instead half-rear end a pointless, meaningless comic so poorly that it unintentionally says terrible things about your protagonists

How do you do, fellow Regis?
See, I was expecting Snout to meet Dominic in the dream world and for there to be a whole update on what happened to the Deegans. At this rate, I'm expecting Dominic and Luna to just be force ghosts on the last page, smiling sagely as Snout walks off with his friends.

"I guess he truly did discover... the Legacy of Dominic Deegan!"

Tune in next week for dwarf tiddies.

Unless I'm forgetting something, Main Ink Witch has exactly three articles of clothing that we've seen. First is an undergarment that we've seen less frequently than her very specific pubic grooming habits. Which is fine. The part about us not seeing it that often I mean. The other bit....

Anyway. Second garment is her dress. Which is apparently body paint around the boob region and baggy everywhere else. Drape of garments is one of the things that low-key bugs me the most about Legacy, but that's not what I'm complaining about here.

It's that fuckin' hat. It's one of the three articles of clothing one of the theoretically important characters ever wears, and it never looks right. And specifically I can't get over the thing it sometimes does, where it looks like it's not interacting with her head at all, but is instead floating a couple inches behind or in front of her head, kinda like a halo in an illuminated manuscript. Only not nearly enough like that to make me think it's intentional.

I mean there's the collar of Arudak's...whatever that garment is supposed to be...which seems to change shape between the two panels he's in. In the first it looks like a V-neck...something. In the second it looks like...like a medieval monk's cowl, only without the cowl. And whatever the gently caress is going on with those shin-length two-tone bellbottoms he's wearing under his what for want of a better word I'll call a cloak. And the fact everyone seems to be wearing ankle socks. But I'm going to stop thinking about all that poo poo right now.

Because lmbo lookit that fuggin hat.

Remember the first visit in mongreltown, about a week or two ago in comic time? When Snout lost his clothes and was super embarrassed about it?

This is character growth. Just, in the opposite direction.

Is her dress still made of magic ink, or did Mookie forget that?
