In fairness to the Cool S, it predates Stussy and we still have no idea where it came from originally.

How does everyone here come up with names? I just stare at the screen and think of random syllables until something sounds right.

Grug... bor. Lord Grugbor. Of... Blade... gyre. Lord Grugbor of Bladegyre! Now there's an Orc king I'd gladly follow into battle.

For my writing? Baby naming sites, mostly.

We’ve seen how female sexuality gets heavily punished in original DD. I don’t think Mookie’s moved beyond that, so the women can’t initiate. And we’ve seen his utter terror of drawing hard dicks and obsession with being a softboy in new DD and his other art. So Snout can’t initiate. Dude has a lot of very clear weird hang ups about sex.

There are quite a lot of non-human species in this setting but all of them are basically just humans with a hat on. (As are non-Callanian human cultures, like the Semashi. Everyone gets a hat.)

The orc hat is being "vegetarian" and heavily coded Native American.

We've already established the most important bit of character development, which is that Snout does not give even half a poo poo about any of his supposed friends and is more interested in rubbing himself on a window.

Are you thinking of Day by Day, the one where the author's self-insert is a grizzled former SpecOps sniper married to a redheaded half Japanese half Irish waifu? It got banned from the various comic threads for getting rapey, but I don't think it was ever published anywhere but online.

Excuse me, it’s half Japanese and VERY Irish.

You know what’s great here?

Arudak’s the one who decided they should talk to this lady. They know each other. And in all the time they have, she apparently has not told him about his girlfriend loving someone else until now, because…???

Like his quest to resurrect his girlfriend seems to be no secret, so she probably knew already?

Yeah I'm pretty firmly in the "many things are not disabilities, but made so by society, accessibility, government, etc" camp myself. It's more that nothing about the characters ever interacts with or is affected by the world. Snout will never give a monologue about why he chose not to drink a magical hearing potion, because Mookie has never thought about deafness outside of a hook (to promptly drop) for the comic and a sympathy detail for Snout.

He literally tried to drink a magic hearing potion, it just turned out to be earwax remover.

It's gotta be due to incompetence, no way he ever reads through these archives or remembers what happened so he wouldn't even notice something got cut out. And this new webcomic plugin he uses is so terrible that I can believe it just dropped pages.

Also if it were deliberate he wouldn’t do it silently.

I am still giggling over the reason there’s nudity in the comic now - he thought that he went over the top on violence for old Deegan and wanted to show more wholesome nudity instead.

And the end result is equally gratuitous, pointless and ugly.

I think the biggest thing I hate about the elves is the decision he made to randomly not capitalize letters in their words. Because, like, I have no idea what that's supposed to sound like. He writes in all-caps and then these letters aren't and how the gently caress is the ready supposed to parse that? Like the apostrophes in random fantasy novels at least can be parsed as glottal stops or clicks.
