Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
I find werewolf corpses dangling on these black spike things unfittingly hilarious.

Jacob: Ruined because his mother is hugging him?
Not really. It's the sort of thing I can see Miranda doing, and his reaction seems about right.
Jacob: Ruined because the plot disintegrated the zombies faster than he could?
Possibly. The fact that he just had to wait for the Plot to look favorably upon him and get rid of the zombies for him puts him one step closer to DeeganSue territory.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Don't forget - he was trying to do something about it. The zombies dissolving was the comic trying to remind him he's one of the good guys now, they don't have to try.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Chiming in late on the flesh armor thing, but I figure necromantic magic would let him harden dead flesh (yes, yes, laugh it out now, I'll wait) in addition to shaping it, sort of how in fantasy you see ice mages making effective armor out of hardened ice or paper mages making swords out of paper and having lightsaber duels with Japanese Tesla.
Wait sorry I wandered into a much better story there for a second.Spoiler

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Well, that's one of the weirder double posts I've seen. (And now it's gone.)
Anyway, I agree that it's not out of character because there are no characters in this comic. Also because...
...he's done that sidewards glance before. I'm actually surprised Mookie didn't add one of the "linky reminders" he loves so dearly to the newspost.
So, seems like the Deegan oddly preoccupied with corpses has been Mookie for a long time.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
That's another way of putting it.
EDIT: I know it's not really the same kind of awkward situation, but details...
I'm nitpicking on a small detail, and on the surface it doesn't matter at all, but to me it's systematic of how no-one has any individuality in the comic, or as you put it: there are no characters in this comic. Deegans* are all Mookie and villains are all racist jocks, and that's it.
(* At least the male Deegans are. I don't want to think too hard about what it means that Confident Luna is the same as Miranda.)
EDIT: BTW, what's the general conventional definition of "Mookinsertion"? I've been using it for characters that are quite literally Mookie (as in his RPG characters, or ones he has explicitly self-identified with): Dominic, Jacob, Donovan, Nimmel, Stonewater, Snowsong. Also Zelda.Last edited by Trazoi; 2012-09-29 at 10:44 PM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
I was thinking the definition was something like characters who were very obviously spouting Mookie's opinion on things. Usually there's only one of these per arc or situation, with the other characters just serving as puppets to back up the character spouting the opinion, or strawmen to be knocked down. Stunt in the Wild Edge would be an example. Jayden and Milov would not be examples, since they always play the role of supporting puppet.

Up early today. (Sneaky)
Future Link
Back to morning cartoon fare, with the Beast as Krang. I guess that makes TIM, Shredder. Hopefully Pam will turn into April O'Neil.
In I Love Dominique, we learn the meaning of Jayden and Milov:

This is where the Beast just reaches out and destroys Dominic.
Because remember, the Beast is the one who pulls the strings in this relationship. Not the King.Who makes fabulous avatars? MEMNARCH makes fabulous avatars!

So, anyone think Milov and Jayden will be permanently affected by this new threat? Oh, wait, that's right, none of us care.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
King in the last panel, so villainous. I'm shaking my fist at the screen right now.
Also, absolutely nobody died. People were impaled by spikes made from necromantic energy and gnawed on by zombies, and Mookie couldn't bring himself to off one of those guys because it would have been Luna's fault. I try to work up some kind of indignation here but I really only find it kind of funny that Mookie can be so completely unable to separate his own feelings from his work and at the same time make it look like he doesn't care at all.Last edited by Johnny Blade; 2012-09-30 at 10:25 PM.

In order to combat Callan's falling economy, DJ picks up a second job as a James Bond villain. Eyeballs with frickin' laser beams ensue.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
This is precisely why Mookie's best villains don't spend much time talking -- Mookie sucks at writing dialogue generally, and villainous dialogue particularly.
None of this mooks has a personality distinct from "villainous stereotype #284" which makes it really hard to treat them as anything as props for the storyline. Ideally someone would make a Slay where all characters lower than First Caste are replaced by Stick Dexes with their lines painted on signs hung around their necks.
The fact that this Slay doesn't exist proves we don't live in the best of all possible worldsLead Designer for Oracle Hunter GamesToday a Blog, Tomorrow a Business!

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Ya, what actually gets me about the dialogue in particular for this strip is King DJ referring to the hear of magic as an "obsession". The word "Obsession" generally has negative meaning as it implies a lack of self-control. While it does accurately describe DJ, he himself should not be using the word as he would think he's better than that. More than likely he would just praise the heart of magic, or claim that Dominic has seen its true glory... King DJ, by refferring to it as an obsession, is essentially saying that he is enslaved to the heart of magic
A similar example that comes to mind would be Ras Al ghul in batman beyond; by maintaining his youth and living hundreds of years, he believes that he conquers death, but Wanye interprets his quest of everlasting life to be a sign of fear in death. Unless a villain is very humble, they will try to put their actions into words that can make them proud and make them feel in control.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
So King DJ is now less intelligent than his own eyeballs. Uh huh.
Also, while it's a minor nitpick. I don't think it's very wise to be discussing that you plan to betray someone when they are right next to you. Ya, Dominic is probably unconscious, but wouldn't it have been better to shove him in one of those black squares like what happened to Celesto.
Also, the King should really be expecting betrayal, if he himself plans to betray Dominic.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Yeah, but I could swear that the King's the worst yet. Somehow.
Really, it's like TheLaughingMan said, this dude's pretty much a Bond villain. I almost expect a completely unguarded Dominic to slowly be lowered into a shark pool in a future Friday cliffhanger.
But on the other hand, he no longer defers to them in any kind of way whatsoever.
(That does make it better, right?)

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Seriously, that is quite possibly the weirdest of all possible transitions.
Also, panel 4 almost had me thinking Mookie would address the completely valid point that Pam just went and decided to risk the lives of everyone in Barthis because she wanted to and is in the position to just do it, which is abuse of power. But no, it's wacky time! Oh, that Taz!
Anyway, it's now officially recognized by a Deegan that magic means you can only be touched by other people with magic in Dominion. Not that it wasn't clear before, but now one of the dispensers of absolute truth has said it.Last edited by Johnny Blade; 2012-10-02 at 12:23 AM.
