Snout is Mookie, his motivation is that he's Mookie.
The Ink Witch is a sexy lamp, her motivation is to be a sexy lamp.
Arudak is a Lesser Avatar of Mookie here to represent a questionable and likely reprehensible opinion like "not all rape is bad" (see Stonewater). In this case, I know I'm not alone in suspecting that Arudak is not-so-secretly an Avatar of "Callout Culture is Bad."

In a comic with three two and a quarter characters, where two characters don't like each other, the only possibility is that one is lying (Arudak) or one is being deceived (The Ink Witch). The Ink Witch has only heard that Arudak is bad she hasn't seen it and her sources are faceless. Since we know she's Mookie's fap material she's not going to be evil, and since we know Arudak is a grumpy but well-meaning rear end in a top hat it will turn out the stories about him have been "exaggerated" and the Ink Witches were wrong to not put more trust in him, everyone will join forces and find out that the Legacy of Dominic Deegan was the friends they made along the way DANCE PUPPETS DANCE.

"Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces"

Malachi 2:3
For two hundred years, you have been asking: Who is Dominic Deegan? This is Dominic Deegan speaking. I am the man who loves his wife.

Men do not live by the mind, you say? The mind is impotent, you say? I have withdrawn those whose minds aren't to the astral plane. Then I told them to stop being so clothes-minded.

Sweep aside those hatred-eaten mystics. They only end up turning into spaghetti and meatballs.

Man cannot survive except by gaining knowledge, and saying "gently caress you, see the truth" is his only means to gain it.

A process of reason is a process of constant choice in answer to the question: True or False?—Right or Wrong? These dichotomies are false. All that a man need know is whether a thing is Deegan or Not-Deegan.

Are you beginning to see who is Dominic Deegan? I am the man who has earned the thing you did not fight for: I do not have to be in this lovely comic anymore.

If there are degrees of evil, it is hard to say who is the more contemptible: the Deegan who assumes the right to force the mind of others or the Non-Deegan who grants to others the right to force his mind.

To a savage, the world is a place of unintelligible miracles where anything is possible. I am a loving wizard, so that is how objective reality is. I suppose we are all savages, then.

I swear—by my life and my love of it—that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. Unless I oracle myself to death and go missing for 200 years.

But what're the odds of that?

For two hundred years, you have been asking: Who is Dominic Deegan? This is Dominic Deegan speaking. I am the man who loves his wife.

"No. No, no. He loves just him.

"There are days when he calls me half a dozen times a day. I love him, I love him so.

"I want her to hear it all. I want her to know, okay, he loves me, and he loves me with all his heart. He loves me to the extreme of wanting to be with me, so when I come home early, he calls me 'Sup' so I can speak the same language as he does. I think he might be, like me, a weirdo.

Can we get a more interesting story from here?

This is the story of Snout, a mongrelman, whose house has just exploded. He's more of a goblin than a pig, and he can't get any help from the all-powerful Tannin. To make matters worse, his only friend is the runaway Numinus, who, in the case of Snout, is even more wretched and difficult to love than a mongrel. In hopes of finding some hidden savor, the two of them must now journey through the unknown space between the stars in order to find Snout's nearest rock of shelter, the earthy homeworld of his fellow pigs.

---

This is the story of Snout, a mongrelman, who sleeps in the nude. By night, he struts around the backstreets of Town, his starlight down the cobblestones. In the daytime, he creeps through the dark alleyways. At night, he lounges on the sidewalk outside the iron shack of the Smokey Place, a drug den run by the sternly weathered Smokestack Killer. By day, Snout is a cute cat. But by night, he's a seedy creature who gets into plenty of fights. It's up to Zuppy, an emergent vampire from the next town over, to hunt down and kill Snout once and for all.

---

This is the story of Snout, a mongrelman, who sleeps in the nude. Mangled teeth give him a demented look. He sits at the tip of the chin. His nose is broken, an old rib and the tooth of a chipmunk. The genitals are charred. He drifts in and out of consciousness, sleepwalking through the house like a man possessed.

Snout is a friend of Snalel's, an extremely intelligent dog who had to be put down by a shelter worker who was too afraid of him.

---

This is the story of Snout, a mongrelman, star of the world's most boring webcomic. It's about the highs and lows, the odd realities and tragedies. It's about a world of Snouts.

Snout is an awesome roleplaying game. Go ahead and check it out. The non-Tolkien-licensed material is amazing, and the adventures of Snout and his friends are fun to run. Many people love the thing so much, they have formed some campaigns on their own and even used the rules to make their own Kickstarter campaigns. And I don't mean that in an ironic or sarcastic way; I mean that people want to play a PC that might resemble any variation on the male body.

---

This is the story of Snout, a mongrelman, whose long and bloody life has been entangled in the nukes of the dead. As he traverses a world full of dead, Snout will uncover secrets and offer help that he needs to save his ancestors from the despair that follows the two detonations of their atomic weapons. With assistance from a sentient tornado named Boo, Snout will travel to all corners of a place that will change his world forever.

I'd rather read ANY of these tbh.

Oh, I see. I love that website, but it didn't click for me. I thought you were talking about carrying on a conversation with Cybertornians and became confused.

No, I didn't use it. I sat down and read the John Galt speech and whenever I saw a line that suggested itself well to something funny, I put it in. Generally, I'd have one or two straight sentences and then either change the third or have an original third so the cadence of the joke hit right. Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Those talk to transformer sections are pretty good. Better than the actual comic anyway.

Ok this made me think, since some people were wondering whether Arudak would turn out to be Stonewater earlier.

What? There's multiple panels of Snout hog.

Why is he working on this naked? When has he ever done anything naked except sleep?

Why does his dick change sizes? Check it out, it's way bigger in the final panel, and I'm pretty sure he's not erect.

Why is the ink witch just disrobed in his room? Wasn't the previous time she did that just a sleep-stripping thing? But now she'll just walk in mostly naked? And... Seriously? They can't have a single naked snuggling scene where one or both aren't sleeping? Is Mookie afraid to show actual affection where one of the party isn't unconscious? Is writing a real relationship where people actual converse and consent outside of his abilities?

This scene would make sense if they were both already in an established relationship, but as far as we know this is the first time the ink witch has been overtly sexual with Snout while not sleeping. This would actually be a good, romantic scene if she woke him up with a kiss and gave him a chance to reciprocate, but instead it just comes off as a very weird decision on her part. If someone came in my room and snuggled me when I was naked and sleeping other than my significant other, EVEN if it was someone I was interested in, it'd be super weird and creepy.

This might be psychoanalyzing a bit, but it seems like the work of starting a relationship is scary for Mookie and it feels much easier to him if it just happens by accident while someone is sleeping, like in them there Japanimations.

Also, she has no bra in panels 4 and 5, and magically she has one in 6. Good job Mookie.

Why is snout wasting so much ink and paper on this? Is he incapable of thought that isn't written down...is that how deaf people work in this world? Because they can't hear they also can't have an inner monologue...instead they just have an external monologue on ink and paper?

But it's ok because he wants it, and she knows he wants it because of Mookie's psychic connection to all his characters. They will never have to communicate about motivations, intent, or consent because it has been beamed into their brains by their creative overlord.

We've touched on it before, but it bears repeating Mookie's fetish for dead, bloody (or unconscious, inky) women in sexualized poses. This is one of the few instances of reversal where a woman is molesting a helpless man, but the root cause is the same.

At least in the context of knowing each other for three days, not knowing each other’s names and otherwise lacking any kind of relationship buildup that’d make this make sense. Like, dude snuggles up to his sleeping wife of thirty years whose loving relationship has been shown to the reader? Sure, fine.

Dude snuggles up to sleeping lady who doesn't know his name and whom he met a few days ago after blowing up her house?

Yeah, context matters.

Great, more of this vaguely creepy stuff. The only way this level of familiarity makes sense is if the “Snout is author insert, Ink Witch is him inserting his wife” thing is true. At which point, it’s just uncomfortable for the audience.
