amigolupus posted:Because clearly what this comic needs is a riveting plot about how Snout is unable to borrow books from a public library. Surely there's no one around him who can use their card to borrow the books Snout needs, none at all. EDIT: copy relevant passages on the Fantasy Xerox Machine or something.

amigolupus posted:You got to love how after having Snout reunite with his mommies, Mookie has Arudak pining over his dead wife to reinforce the heterosexualness of it all. Gotta stamp out any possibility that Arudak might also be interested in Snout or whatever. At this point I honestly think Snout's got better chemistry with Arudak than the other two main(?) characters(?). The history between him and Snout has been fraught with relatively less creepiness than Snout's had with the others, and as a bonus Arudak's the only one who actually has a name! But nah I guess we have to go the incredibly un-subtle road of Arudak suddenly pulling an entire framed photo out of nowhere. Like oriongates said, there is no sense of direction or continuity with where everything takes place, and the only way the photo isn't a complete non-sequitur is if at some point off-screen everyone relocated to Arudak's room. Hell, having a second sign in the dining hall that just said "WOMAN IS DEAD AND I AM SAD" would have preserved continuity more than this.

oriongates posted:As much as the landscape shots are incredible time-wasters, there's at least the intent to create a sense of mood and to show off artistry. It's a comically bad attempt and mookie needs to stop. But this isn't even that. It's like a yawning void under a shell of content. These three pages have taught us nothing, and we are all worse for having seen them. I feel like Mookie is getting "inspired" by slice of life anime since those got pretty popular the last couple of years. Him trying to copy things like a person having a regular morning and failing miserably seems pretty on point for him. But yeah, the reason it works (for people who like it anyway) in slice of life anime is that you're more interested in the character relationships than an overarching plot. A simple conversation at breakfast can change or reinforce how two characters feel about each other and make it meaningful, even if it's just "These two people are arguing/apologizing while having breakfast." But NO DIALOG, so we just have Snout in the white void while characters he has met file in one at a time to give him affection for being the World's Most Special Boy.

Yeah, that's what I meant in my rambling about Snout doing some research while he was clearing his head lol He could've just spent it in the public library looking poo poo up or just read some novels to relax.

amigolupus posted:Snout didn't give his library card. Thelonius snatched it from Snout and did a magic trick to switch it to his calling card, which was his only contribution during that entire sequence. Mookie never puts any thought into what he writes so I doubt he knows how racist it was to create a second POC character and have the only notable thing they did was steal from Snout. Something that was only possible because Snout introduced himself via his library card, something he has never done before or since. The only reason it had any relevance is because it has Snout's medical conditions listed on it (like all library cards do) and Snout had, for some reason, changed into a different outfit (not the new one he got the day before, or the old one he apparently still had) which didn't have his patch, making this the only time that Snout was walking around without a convenient label. Also, it occurs to me that during the entirety of the "Language Barrier" arc, we do not see Snout actually directly 'speaking' to anyone. He only communicates in three ways: *He throws a book. *He shows someone his library card. *He hands ink witch a note someone else wrote.

Ah, but he couldn't read a sign once and made a faux pas! A sign that he didn't even look at anyway so it wouldn't have mattered.

Nighthand posted:The library brochure clearly says all union library cards are accepted. Obviously, this means that it's a highly exclusive library that you can only access if you have a library card, and that the library will not issue new cards. This becomes a problem when we discover that Bad Orc Man stole Snout's library card to gain access to this coveted and exclusive... library. He will then immediately just fill out the form and get a union library card with no difficulty, making the whole exercise pointless.

Oh nothing of course, I'm just saying being alone in nature is a lot more appropriate a time than that moment with the dinner where he wrote in it both immediately before and after the meal. A mopey paragraph followed by Snout looking up at the stars would have at least made sense!

Invisible Clergy posted:Mookie's going to be "clever," and have Snout go to the library and produce his library card from his oshkosh b'gosh, forgetting entirely that Thelonious still has it. Then the librarian will say the mild edge is not in the union and he has to get a library card from here. Snout will arrive at the library, realize that Thelonious still has his card and look sad. Then Thelonius will appear and hand him his library card, along with all the necessary forms for the orc library filled out and a letter of apology for Jerkface Orc's behavior. He will also give Snout a dreamy smile. There will be hugs.

Do they even make whole albums anymore? I thought musicians just released singles every so often because that's how people have been buying stuff for the last 20 years.
