I know it's Mookie's style not to plan out pages ahead of time, but I'm wondering now if he even planned out how this story will end.

And ruin the surprise?

Snout's what now?

What's so kind about sitting around being upset that nobody's paying attention to you because you're useless and have nothing to contribute, then wandering off because you couldn't handle other people fixing a problem without your input?

Sorry, it just bothers me every time. It's like Mookie got embarrassed trying to talk to a deaf person once and thinks everyone with a disability should be forced to advertise it.

Instead, the only thing we really know about the Redactor from her actual appearance is that she seemed upset that The Ink Witch was abusing Snout (she appeared almost immediately after Mookie was called out for how creepy that relationship was) and tried to arrest her.

For all we've seen, the Redditor and Slappy McFist were actually cops.

It's pretty easy. Callan is 1:1 the United States in the early 2000s, except where it explicitly isn't.

It's pretty straightforward:

Snout: Martyr Complex Mookie
Arudak: "Nobody Understands Me" Loner Mookie
Arudak's Dead Wife: A sexy lamp
Ink Witch: A sexy lamp with a post-it note stuck on combined with Mookie's nostalgia for the early 2000s "con scene" (esp. glomping). In other words, she's Mookie's desire for external validation.
Kaneda: A sexy lamp, TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOO
Redactor: Mookie's critics
Palm Strike: Mookie's latest 'evil party' D&D character

And then someone asked Mookie on Twitter if she was supposed to be the bad guy and that's how we got the detour to the house on haunted hill.

I remain convinced that Snout's demeaning 'Deaf' tag exists because Mookie tried to talk to a deaf person once (probably back in high school), was mildly and/or publicly embarrassed, and thinks it would be good if people with inobvious disabilities wore tags publicly announcing their disability for all to see.

"Cuddler" is the loving nadir though so that's definitely what he'll go with

"Squish" is worse, it's short for "boob squish"

Of the options presented, she's most likely to wind up "Page" because it's the only thing on there that resembles a real name.

IIRC pulling out the tusks pulls out part of your soul, so if you pull out both you become soulless or something.

Alterists changing them does the same thing. This is, of course, to make Luna more special since she's the only one who put up with it thanks to Dominic's "loving support."


Edit: I don't know why I remember this. Probably because the reveal was exceptionally dumb.

Oh yeah, Mookie totally made it up later when they introduce one tusk drummer to explain why he's just so angry and depressed during Greg's band arc; to explain that Tuskmouth Curse is both really common and simultaneously why only Luna has it.


It was just so stupid it stuck in my memory.

We could also get like a week of Snout telling Ink Witch that he's decided to name her "Ink Witch".

He doesn't need to, now that Snout/Mookie knows he's named the Ink Witch the Ink Witch, the Ink Witch knows that her name is the Ink Witch too and, because Snout/Mookie is OK with the name, so is she.

Mookie has no idea where they're going or why, so he's buying time until he thinks of something and his characters are bitching at him about it.

Holy poo poo, Mookie.

Being deaf isn't the same as having a mental handicap, and while there's no shame in the latter Mookie's insistence on conflating the two feels downright awful. Bort was at least proficient in his native environment. Snout's done nothing but read his whole life, he should have at least a passing understanding of social cues.

Both of his arms are forward, but even though their elbows are in the same place the left forearm is 'above' the right forearm while the left bicep is below and behind the right, which gives the impression that his left arm is growing out of the middle of his ribcage.

Also he's got huge breasts.

Catching fish *just* for crop fertilizer seems a huge waste of time and energy, doesn't it? Like yeah, fish fertilizer has been a thing for millennia, but usually you eat the fish first and then use the leftover bones and guts as fertilizer.

Mookie watched Thanksgiving specials as a kid that showed the Iroquois teaching the Pilgrims to bury fish in their fields and thinks that's an actual effective thing and not an act of desperation prompted by soil nutrient depletion caused by farming without a proper crop rotation.

Presumably a species of obligate herbivores would figure crop rotation out pretty quickly.
