Webcomic Wednesday - Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire

Hey y'all, here's another new feature I will try to do at least once a month, and that's Webcomic Wednesday! What a better way to start off than with my absolute favorite fantasy webcomic, and that is Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, by the amazingly talented Mookie!



I forget exactly how I tripped upon Dominic Deegan, but it was ages ago, around the time that I started sophomore year of High school (back in 2002). I was intrigued to begin reading about an oracle, seeing as how they aren't usually the heroes of stories, but rather a side character or whatnot.


The story begins, introducing us to Dominic Deegan, a seer/oracle for hire, and his talking cat "pet", Spark. We see some of the irritation that comes from being a seer, as well as how people mis-interpret things he says, or ask him to do unsavory things. Time and time again he has to step up and save the day, rescue the damsel, or just stop creepy zombies (which cause him to shriek like a little girl and jump into the arms of someone nearby).

I can't really go too much into details because the comic has been around since May 2002, and is still going strong, though Mookie did say that he would be finishing up the comic soon (to my sadness, and screams of despair!!!) What I can say is that Dominic is from a family where his father, Donovan, is a Bard of note, as well as an accomplished swordsman, and his mother, Miranda, is a noted sorceress/Arch-Magi. He is the middle child, where his older brother, Jacob, has delved into Necromancy, and his younger brother, Gregory, has a great talent for White Magic. Mix into this meetings with many magical creatures and beasts, as well as a necromantic golem named Quilt, a bumbling pair of thieves, Stunt and Bumper, and Spark, who loves alliteration, and you get amazing story after story, where not everyone lives at the end of the day, and where if you ask to be put in the comic, you will most likely be killed off!

If you love tales of magic, sorcery, and mystery, then join the fan club of Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire and you will not be disappointed at all!!!!!!




Probably my favorite joke ever!
