Oh. Ha ha. How'd I miss this thread for so long. Good edits so far, though I do not think I have it in me to follow another Mookie series. He ever finish his space superhero comic?

As I recall, editing in dick-punch dwarf actually increased the threat Dominic faced at that point. The eldritch end boss was that lame.

Emrikol posted:It'd just make a lot more sense to try and signal someone he knows is actually in the area to see it, is what I'm getting at. I imagine this comic is going to just flow like this. Dialog dumps followed by vague actions that are not fleshed out enough for the audience to have any idea what the hell is going on. ....Actually that really does sound like the original Dominic Deegan run.

Rotten Red Rod posted:It was always weird when Mookie remembered that Dominic is supposed to be an oracle and not just a dbz dude that can do anything. Mental realm means an oracle is incredibly powerful was the explanation. But apparently Dominic can also do magic in the real world too, plus the ludicrous supporting cast he has. Basically their was no point in the whole of Dominic Deegan where he wasn't incredibly overpowered. Even when he got dwarf dick punched he was in no danger, as Luna immediately threatens the dwarf with death in reprisal. As for Siggy, he was a jock character that actually started to go through what could be considered a Redemption arc by Mookie standards. But, because of this, he actually started to become an interesting character the readers enjoyed, and we can't have that for a disposable jock that everyone was suppose to hate.

Catching up. And that recap page really is a "where's Dominic" type thing isn't it. I can think of no reason for Snout to care about Dominic Deegan given an airship just blew up his home.

Tesseraction posted:In order to not entirely reply in caps, WHY THE gently caress CAN THIS TACTIC WORK IF IT COULD BLINDLY SPIKE HIS SIGN FROM THIRTY METRES?! It's Mookie's typical writing a narrative without any planning. You should not be surprised. In typical Mookie fashion, he did a good joke without thinking about the narrative. So, back to the narrative, and Snout does something suicidal since we just established this tree can, see, read, and form flexible hands with it's branches.

I don’t think he’s making this for anyone but himself, the guy’s just got so much love for Dominic Deegan. One of the minor things I respect him for. He has his fun, we have ours, and for the most part it stays seperate. I know I certainly couldn’t produce a comic and not be swayed by how people react to it...for years.

So the tree is neutralized.....somehow. Good job doing nothing Snout. I’d also like to bring up that a few pages ago the tree used its limbs/roots to grab him, so this self stabbing is really unnecessary. Not that it matters, just mentioning.

Hmmm. ma???c...Whatever could that word possibly be... Last time I read this thread I wondered what Snout actually eats, given how not worried about his house blowing up he was, but figured that was pedantic for this comic. Well I got my answer. And these journal pages remain the laziest way to convey Snouts thoughts. Might as well just insert thought bubbles in normal pages and ditch these.

First conscious humanoid figure that Snout has met since the comic started. And the very first interaction is a dumb joke for us, the audience. This is starting well already.

You know what, I know he’s doing a unbelievably lazy “no dialogue” thing here, but he’s really passing up an opportunity. Because Snout could easily talk here, he’s Deaf not Mute. And if Mookie knew any actual deaf people, he could play with this by having the speech bubble be odd, or have randomly bold/thin words to convey being unsure about pitch/volume. ....I’m writing fanfic again, gently caress. It’s just so easy while looking at this nothing to want to make it any way interesting. Drunk Theory fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Dec 6, 2019 |

PMush Perfect posted:But then that would raise questions. How did Snout learn to speak if he's deaf? Does that mean he used to be able to hear? How did he lose his hearing? Was it an accident, or did someone- I think it’s so easy because Mookie really hasn’t developed Snout at all yet. We know next to nothing about his life, and he certainly hasn’t done enough to establish himself as a real character. Drunk Theory fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Dec 6, 2019 |

PMush Perfect posted:What gets me isn't the random, gratuitous dick, it's that it's gratuitous but it's also just so lazy. Like, it doesn't even look like it exists because Mookie wants to draw dicks (a noble endeavor). He wants to have a comic where dicks are drawn for Art Points. It's dick-based cargo culting. Something just screams in my mind he’s doing this because he wants to eventually include naked ladies in this, but wants to set precedent with his male protagonist first. Maybe an odd thought, but I agree with others there. Anyway..... Sailor Cat posted:Dong n' Dick Deegan Drunk Theory fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Dec 12, 2019 |

I guess I understand the point. But the farm boy trope comes about because it's an easy starting point for your hero's journey story. You then develop your world and character from that common starting point. Your characters profession doesn't really matter. In fact, it's probably better to start a story with a farmboy. How boring a story would be that started with your main character being say a powerful mage/seer with resources and no need to struggle?
