She's still barely alive, her butt is not entirely up in the air. If she falls over next page though, she's done for.

I think he's slipping and putting less effort in again. He hasn't updated Patreon in over a month and hasn't posted any art on twitter aside from this comic in even longer.

I think Sunflower drew the blighted necromantic vines out of corpsewife's gut and turned them into flowers, making her tits huge in the process. Since the vines were animating this inert frankenstein of dead flesh, she should collapse into a lifeless mass, but I suspect she will have been instantly cured of her amnesia and be able to speak to the hearing characters and read and write so Snout can continue to avoid all obstacles in his life no matter how minor she can communicate with Snout.

I have no idea how Sunflower knew they were there. I guess sensing blight, drawing it out, and nullifying it are additional powers all the plant people have.

As to why, I'll stick with "to obviate conflicts as soon as possible" until a more ridiculous explanation suggests itself.

I don't think this cured her from her necromantic nature, but it would be really funny if it did and mookie just had her randomly bump into a brand-new character just to get rid of the one thing that makes her interesting.

C'mon, this is Mookie we're talking about, you know what to expect:



"I know some people who might be able to help your friend."

She is completely cured 2 pages after meeting them

And I know this has been beaten to death but why the gently caress is she naked again

Mookie was sad his waifu might have evil in her, so now she's purged and Snout can have his harem.

That got me thinking - I'm not sure if this is what Mookie is going for, but conceptually, I'd be interested in a positive, healthy depiction of a polyamorus or nonmonogamous relationship in a webcomic (or, well, most any media). But every single detail of Snout's relationships with Ink Witch and Corpsemommybaby squick me out hardcore... So healthy this is not.

He would redeem himself if he had a Arudak/Snout romance. Arudak's the only character who Snout has seen naked that he doesn't have a hosed up, creepy dynamic with.

Well, that evil vine will never again cause anyone else to teleport to a location simply near their destination and need their friend to come and pick them up, that's for sure. A mighty victory for the forces of justice and magical transit.

Are the self obsessed guy and Arduak gay? Mookie is going to pat himself on his back either way.

Also why are little hands holding up the orcs chin in that second panel?

Also he cloned the Snapmancer from his earlier Summoning Snap, and only bothered to change a couple wrinkles on the tunic.

What happened to the demon seed? Did Snapmancer eat it?

That implies Mookie remembers that which has much lower odds than it should be for any author and their work.

Sunflower ripped out corpsewife's heart, handed it to Thelonious, who then showed it to parentheses beard. I assume what Mookie meant to convey is that beardy recognized it and snapped his fingers like "ah, I've seen this before! Bee, give me my files on how to destroy demon seeds."

As usual, this is not what's on the page. I too assumed Thelonious had handed beardy the heart and he crushed it into powder in his hand, because then these stink lines around his hand would be conveying motion, which I guess would be all right for our deaf pov to notice. But no, they convey sound. A comic without dialogue.

Also, even if Thelonious and Arudak are romantically involved, this is a weird time for them to be making bedroom eyes at each other.

Yeah, this page is extra confusing. First two panels are clear enough...

Then in panel 3 beard-orc snaps his fingers for his assistant...which doesn't really work here. The first time he snaps his fingers and his assistant comes running, which just illustrates the brusque, demanding nature of their relationship. We can assume that he provided specific, verbal instructions in the sloppy space between panels the first time and the snap was just used to grab the assistant's attention. But here...he just snaps, clearly not speaking, and the assistant seems to know to pull out a sheet of paper.

...is beard-orc mute? That's really the only scenario where this kind of makes sense, if we assume that he normally communicates non-verbally and therefore all he needs is to call the assistant's attention and he's automatically provided writing instruments to express himself in more detail.


Mute or not, panel 4 is a complete non-sequitur....I think it might be an attempt to create a split panel, where it's actually contiguous with panel one, so that assistant orc is being concerned by snout and corpsey's condition and it actually happens before panel 3. That would, at least, explain his odd behavior where he seems to transition from a neutral expression and in the process of getting something out for orc-beard to a neutral position with a sad expression. But, if that's the intent then it's horribly conveyed. You can't really do it with this panel structure and the white-void background. And even then it's an utterly bizarre choice to juxtapose the character in the scene with literally the least connection to anything happening.

Then Arudak and IWP come in, which works okay, then we get the utterly bizarre choice of Thelonious's expression. I don't think this is actually attempting to imply a romantic relationship with Arudak. It certainly might be...he's got a weirdly...sultry...expression on his face and his arms seem to be positioned to embrace Arudak. But his reaction is so at odds of Arudak's that it feels completely out of place: who would have that face when your boyfriend burst into the room with a look of panic on his face? Especially after someone just went through some kind of traumatic...thing right in front of you.

But...then again who would have that face when a friend or acquaintance bursts into the room in a panic? Why in the world would he make that face? It would be one thing if he were talking, indicating that he might be attempting to calm Arudak down, but there's none of that body language, just that weird smile.
