He thinks making the vine "necromantic" is enough to make it interesting. But yeah. The stakes are that this is a thing that might have happened if they didn't easily stop it before it had a chance to even begin to threaten anyone.

Why the gently caress does he even care enough about Snout to write this many words about him? It's so pointless and has nothing to do with anything. It's just another page intended to make us love Snout and hate this guy even more.

Of course the entire point of this page is how much of a dick the orc is, but... He's right. Snout has absolutely no reason to be there. No one's even attempted to yet explain why they insisted Snout come to them. All their attention has been on Corpsemommy, who they didn't even know existed until the Ink Witch met her when they were already in Maltak. Of course I'm sure he's some kind of "chosen one" dream wizard, but why hasn't anyone even begun to explore or even address that? Isn't that the WHOLE REASON HE'S THERE?

This plot is such a loving nothing with no stakes and no reason for Snout to be concerned. And yet he's overwhelmed? Ok? You don't need to DO anything, Snout, she's in good hands and you can go... I dunno, get that book or whatever you were supposed to be doing at some point.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:This comic is so loving bad I love it and hope Mookie keeps making comics until the day he dies. His patreon seems to have stalled out and hit its ceiling at 1.2k/mo, which isn't really livable for a family... But knowing how little effort he puts into the comic, it's easily possible he has a day job too (if he's even the main breadwinner, which I'm not going to try and dive into). Maybe he makes a decent amount off of sales of DD and Star Power books? I really doubt it, but it's SOMETHING. I assume he made most of his money off the con scene, and, well, we all know what happened there.

And right there, the reason he keeps doing the comic: Twitter ego massaging. Even if he never gets above a handful of likes/retweets, those gushing comments fuel him.

oriongates posted:No, this is the book that they bought back in Mongreltown. It was briefly in limbo after snout got punched and Ink Witch and Arudak vanished with Redactor and Mhorg, but it turned out it was never taken or anything, because Redactor showing up had basically no actual consequences. Also not only did the bad guys not hurt them, but they didn't even take the book. So literally all they accomplished was making the good guys travel some unspecified distance away and ditch Snout.

So is Corpsemom just not in the comic anymore...? She literally hasn't appeared since the previous night, despite the comic ostensibly focusing on her for weeks and making a huge deal about how serious her condition is.

So Snout's platonic (?) relationship with a necromanic zombie he met less than a week (?) ago reminds Arudak of his dead wife uh, ok Why? Is it because she is also dead? Also who is Snout's actual romantic love interest supposed to be? Ink Witch or Corpsemommy? The comic keeps vacillating between the two. Again, it could be interesting to depict a poly relationship, but Mookie hasn't indicated that's what he's going for. In fact I can't tell at all what he's going for. Also also, I'm still flabbergasted that Snout has 2 nice new outfits, one of which already has his treasured "HELO I AM BROKEN" patch, and yet he's going back to his lovely, smelly overalls. At least Corposemommy is FINALLY dressed this time. Also also also, what the gently caress was the point of Snout's "clearing his head" montage? He didn't actually DO any introspection. He just kind of went for a walk and when he came back people were nice to him and had ejected the bad man from the story for being slightly rude to him.

According to Mookie on Twitter, he's been spending a lot of time working on the coming city pages. Which means it'll probably be traced and we'll get maybe 2-3 pages of it before it permanently retreats back to white void.

Eh, I think Molly Ostertag is a good artist, but she clearly wasn't putting her all into STP, especially near the end. And yeah, it's unfair to compare almost ANYONE to Abaddon. Not only is he really, really good, but he's improved like crazy over the years and he puts in WAY, way more time and effort into this comic than should be humanly possible. Mookie doesn't need to be on the level of Abaddon, art-wise - I read a lot of comics that aren't, and I enjoy them greatly. But he's either not putting in enough effort to make something decent, or if he is actually is slaving over this comic for long hours, he's bashing his head against the wall doing the wrong things instead of working on improving (or even establishing) his baseline art skills.

That hasn't happened too often, but Snout has definitely been drawn badly off-model. I'd have to go back through the comic to find some examples, but his proportions are pretty inconsistent. Edit: here we go, found one. These are consecutive pages. That is not an error someone with a good grasp of anatomy makes. Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Jun 15, 2021 |

Yeah, he gets excited about new techniques, then uses them once, doesn't improve his skill with them, and falls back into old habits. What we are seeing ARE his first attempts with no refinement, but he considers them done. It's the same issue with his writing - he wants to get the next plot point out NOW NOW NOW before he gets bored of it and fixates on a new idea, so he rushes them out with little forethought.
