I... believe this happened around Battle For Barthis, which contained a similar scene with a muffin.
Storm of Souls, when that Infernomancer was about to attack Barthis.

It's the comic of Feb. 2, 2005 if you want to check the source. It's in the midst of the confusion of Storm of Souls.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
OK, I know better than to pull out any superlatives like saying that this is the ugliest filler Mookie's ever inflicted on us (because I really, really don't want to be proven wrong), but still. . . eeengh, what the hell is that thing?!
-
Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Hey look! Filler!
And not ven related filler!
Mookie didn't do it. It wasn't done for Dominic Deegan. Hel, Mookie may as well have posted an old strip from a different webcomic for all the value this has.
The notion occurs to me however that we are gettin roughly the same amount of plot advancement out of it as we would had there been no filler art.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
This is really just a "HEY GUYS, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?" thing.
I have no idea how it could actually be healthy relationship though if they way he writes females and the way he writes how his characters interact with females are any sort of reflection of his own personality.

Still stupid.
Edit: And while I agree it would make sense to ask a couple of the more savvy Deeganites to help, Quilt isn't one of them. He's got the subtlety of a bullhorn.
Ahah! I've got it. They're being so obvious that Quilt's messing it up will actually serve as a distraction to prevent useful scrying on what they're actually doing from being done.
And then he'll Habeas the Corpus and catch the 1st-stringers in the lurch.

...at least he is linking to his Filler Artists now? I mean, that's progress, right?
Still, I gotta say that when I looked at this filler, I was consumed by revulsion. In retrospect, I think it must be some sort of Uncanny Valley thing since I'm usually OK with chibi. Did anyone else have a similar reaction?
-
Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Yes. I looked at it for minutes before I could turn away. It seriously made me squirm. The chibi, the matching hoodies, the wings, the little heart, the stupid latin phrase, all the pink, whatever is up with that thing representing Mookie's girlfriend's mouth, and above all the winking just push this beyond what I can tolerate.
It's like being force-fed buckets of candy by a dozen of bubble gum pink robots with anime latex masks while hearing them "aaawwww" in a chorus of hollow metallic screeching and I will not sleep tonight.

"Speak only when the words outperform silence.
Write only if the text will improve a blank page.
Update only if the result is more bearable than a 404 error".
Pity Mooke doesn't seem to adhere to this.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Eh Filler.
The Chibis are disgusting.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
I miss the kitty photographs.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Is it just me, or is anyone else getting Luna vibes from that drawing of Mookie's girlfriend? :smalleek:

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Well, she does have tusks...

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
"Love conquers all"?
Huh, I wonder if that's just someone using the phrase to sound smart, or if the artist was implying relationship trouble or adversity for Mookie.
Also, I would say these are less Chibi than SD (Super-Deformed {which I know chibi is technically a part of}). I'm pretty sure most chibi art doesn't morph faces into cubes.

I'd almost guarantee the former.

I like that saying. It seems sweet at first glance, but becomes darker and darker the more you think about it. I've seen and known a good few individuals for whom love has conquered traits like independance, rationality, familial ties, sense of self-worth, etc.
Love even conquers will to live from time to time, especially when unshared...

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Today's filler was commissioned. Money changed hands for this... thing to be created.
I'm going to be sick.
-
Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
I find the filler absolutely creepy. Making my last post in this thread only more screamingly scary. On the other hand my boyfriend thought it was a drawing of two girls so I guess I'm cheered up with that joke at least a bit. It sure is more funny then the filler itself.

Wait that's not two girls? o_O

The one on the right has Mookie's giant sideburns.
That said, I'm sure there's some Luna/ZZ (for whatever you choose to expand "ZZ" as) fic out there.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Moments like this make me realize just how great the dissonance is between what Mookie finds appealing and what we Snarkers in general find appealing.
None of us seem to find the filler art endearing at all. Granted, I've seen weirder Super-deformed chibi things but at least those weren't based on real people.
-
Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Its not THAT bad...Its Crap, and overtly cutesy, but its not scary or such.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Hrm. Is this filler snarkable enough, or should we just go back to discussing ponies again?
-
Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXV: DJ Callan Turns the Tables
Eeehh... iunno, the filler is good enough for what it is. Decent art, if a bit sappy. It's just the subject matter that makes it odd.
If he commissioned it for himself, let him be happy with it. We're here for Mookie's work, not for that of others. :smallsmile:
