I think this is the first time Snout's nutsack is just kinda crappy and not a body horror.

It's pretty funny how we've put more thought into how language barriers work in actuality than the dude who is doing a chapter about it.

Maybe he's looking at Snout's ears?

... is snout deaf because he just lacks the internal structure of ears? Does he just have pointy bits on the sides of his head but no holes or anything for sound to go into?


This would be incredibly stupid so i'm going to assume it's correct.

I was wondering if the idea was this guy could diagnose deafness by looking at an ear, which would be very impressive (and certainly impossible for anyone to do at such a distance).

Let's see..."Benefactor of the Wild Edge Library" we learned almost exactly two years ago (in July of 2019), in like the first half dozen strips of the new comic, and Snout knew it before that...he says in the first journal dump page that, "His name is in all my favorite library books" (because they were "donated from the private collection of Dominic Deegan" and so on).

"Traveled to Asinotaph two hundred years ago" is the first concrete fact learned from the McGuffin notes Snout spends the first chapter of Legacy chasing. He and the audience learn it in the strip from October 9th in 2019.

The fact that Mookie Prime made a journey into Asinotaph "where dreams are touched by the Heart of Magic and become visions" is also in the pages. The text is damaged in a way that maybe we can believe that Snout can't figure out but the audience clearly should be expected to. And "he really saw the end of all prophecy" is the clarification provided by Arudak the first time Snout meets him (he just hands a page to Snout containing the "end of all prophecy" bit). That's in December of 2019.

A copy of The Dream Realm of Asinotaph sitting in a porn shop is the MacGuffin of the second chapter of Legacy, and we get the stuff about Order, Renewal and "the threefold self" in various infodumps surrounding it in April of 2020, complete with the least compelling magic sigils imaginable.

Most of the above was already reiterated in a summary page on June 19th of 2020:



...and then again a month later on July 22nd of 2020:



...and all this summarising was apparently taxing, because Mookie took a break. Upon returning, August and September were devoted to "Natural Necromancy", the origin story for Corpsemom. A short chapter which has nothing to do with Snout's investigations.

Then we get another very short chapter, "Dreamfinder", from October to the middle of December. In it Snout and Corpsemom wander around a bit, Snout teaches Corpsemom to read (2 strips), we see Arudak's floppy dong, and then they literally stumble into the gate that for some reason leads to Maltak and the rest of the plot, such as it is.

That's all in the next chapter, "The Language Barrier", starting in January of this year. By February we're getting a multi-page infodump, which Ink Witch literally just hands to Snout. The first page:



So literally all Snout apparently got out of the Maltak Union Library is a short list of Deegan's students.

And what I get out of this is apparently Mookie lost whatever thread of an idea of a story he had back around a year ago (when he summarised and then re-summarised the same plot points he just repeated again), and he hasn't been able to figure out anything since.

Incredible, all of this "we're on the brink of learning what happened" poo poo for 2 years and all of it instantly explained by VISITING THE MAIN loving LIBRARY which everyone knows about.

Brilliant memory / fieldwork SubG. loving hell.

Why would you bring this dumb loving dog of a man with you.

Why are there two sentences in orcish and one in English? Also what kind of complicated declensions are required for "Mita vektu al Seku Muat vek Hasheen Kuvak Aktu," a 9 word sentence, to become the 24 word English sentence?

The top line can't be part of that English bit because it mentions Maltak and Kelsheen, which isn't in the bottom part.

It was always way easier to edit Deegan than CAD because even those lazy gradient backgrounds were still more than just loving nothing.

And at least Buckley has actually tried mixing poo poo up.

It's incredible how your angle of perspective can so significantly change things. That Buckley comic is objectively tone-deaf and offensive, and yet juxtaposed with Deegan's not-so-casual ableism, horrible racial sterotyping and overall weirdness about nudity it's almost quaint to just see a white guy make a really poo poo "cultural appropriation" joke.

To give him some wiggle room, the two oldest freshwater lakes in the real world are 395 miles and 418 miles long if you go from end to end.

It somewhat raises the question of whether their destination is really on the lake or if he just wanted an excuse to draw loving nothing for three months, however.
