I love how he considers that an improvement when all it proves is that he learned how to abuse filters in photoshop. Look at those jeans, the hoverboard and that undershirt, goddamn. The original really is better. It's still pretty crap, but it's less stiff and it actually looks like he drew it instead of just slathering a bad sketch in photoshop tricks and irritating lens flares.

The older one looks like total shit because he's posting his half-finished art, but I think the overall style of it is better. It's unabashedly cartoony, whereas the later one has this weird psuedo-realistic look to it, especially the face and hair. He's slapped so many poorly-planned details into it that it just feels disjointed, and it's not stylized enough to get away with the inaccurate anatomy. Then he slathered the whole thing in Photoshop and hoped people would like it.

Welp, there he went. He's still harping on about that bullshit PTSD he claims to have. There is no way he has it. PTSD is a very specific diagnosis. The disorder has a very well-outlined set of criteria, and if you don't have all the symptoms, you don't fucking have the disorder. It's shit like this that gets me upset. I'm going on twelve years of therapy, and he just hops in and claims to have all sorts of stuff wrong with him for pity points.
I want to explain the PTSD stuff a bit better, and how I know he doesn't have it, but it takes a bit of powerleveling, so I will try to spoiler it. (My first spoiler, I hope I do this right)
I can believe he feels depressed, and I don't doubt he has some sort of anxiety disorder. But anything more than that, nope. And I find him just as disgusting as the transtrenders on Tumblr for acting like he does.
And, to keep things a bit more art-related, I think his drawings would look a lot better if he didn't shade them so heavily. Especially on the faces of his characters. The dark shading enhances the lines and wrinkles and makes everyone look old. He should lighten up a bit. Literally.

I thought I might have developed PTSD from an event in my life that occurred a little over three years ago. My mom, the one person I have ever been able to feel close to, died a very slow and painful death from cancer. And I was by her side the whole time. I'm still pretty messed up from the whole thing, but I am doing a lot better than I was before. Back when it had just happened, even so much as hearing the word 'cancer' would leave me a crying wreck for hours. And seeing things that talked about survivors, like the TV commercials for the treatment centers, was (and still is) pretty upsetting. But, even with all of that, I don't have PTSD. Because I am missing one single symptom. If watching my mother suffocate on fluid produced by tumors in the lining of her lungs didn't give me PTSD, Dobson sure as hell didn't get it from a fuckin squirt bottle.

Guys, according to Dobby we are Sauron. He's chimping out on Twitter again because he's reading his DA again.

Dobson.
No one spends as much time on Twitter as you do.
No one cares as much about you as you do.
We all have outside lives. This is the shit we do when we're bored and the movie we're gonna watch is still loading on Netflix.
We don't need you. You need us. You want validation.
Honestly, dude. If you got your wish and we all scrubbed the Internet clean of Dobson hate, you'd be more miserable than you are now.

About the PTSD claims, it's not that hard to get diagnosed with something if you really want to. I'm sure he told the therapist he was physically assaulted without going into exact detail as to how. Why would he want to relive something that was SO traumatic? I mean, it did cause him stress. I've seen people claim all of a sudden they were misdiagnosed when their current excuse isn't cutting it and literally get another official diagnosis that excuses, in their mind, how shitty they behave. But we're talking cheap assisted see you once a month at most mental healthcare.
I have a feeling he might be outright lying though, couldn't imagine someone seriously saying "I have the papers to prove it" about something as grave and unpleasant as PTSD if a therapist has fully educated them on what that means. Unless he really has zero empathy about the horrible shit people that really have it have gone through.
Also, you may as well not have the papers to prove it if you are never going to present them.

I'm not a therapist, but the ones I've spoken to about diagnoses have all wanted to put off focusing on the diagnosis and talk about individual issues and what is actually affecting your life and how to overcome those obstacles. You pretty much have to tell them hey I want a diagnosis and I want it in writing, unless you need a prescription, but then again, it would just be anxiety medicine, it wouldn't say PTSD medicine on the label as far as I know. I think these papers are figurative at best, and entirely made up at worst.
Edit: Also, if he's on medication, it's only made him more bitchy. Maybe the "diagnosis" has made him feel vindicated and more entitled to whine.

If Dobby would take a moment to think, he'd realize that people would stop harassing him if he changed his act and started to work on himself. (at least, people would harass him less.)
It's taking criticism and working on his art and attitude to improve them. It's not easy, sure, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
But of course, tweeting about how the world is so bad and playing Splatoon is far easier than actually working on oneself and ones 'job'.

I agree with alienhominid2000's conclusion, but disagree with most of his examples.
That comic is rational and well written. Comics like this are the reason Dobson once had an audience. The fact they left probably has something to do with the fact his new comics never have a real point or are coherent at all.
Most of alienhominid2000's other examples are innocuous things Dobson has complained about. Although these complaints are obnoxious, they don't make him a bad person. If this were true, our complaints would make us bad people.
In my opinion, Dobson isn't completely irrational, but he has several primitive beliefs which logic has never been allowed to touch - blind spots. As the entire world seemed aligned against these dear things, he became obsessed with them and the imagined inequity. Now they're on his mind almost 24/7; for them, he's always blinded
This is what allows Dobson to be a constant hypocrite and a loon with no realization whatsoever. (Without actually being insane.)

That's one of his more criticized harder to defend ones, and exactly the kind of thing that causes people to call him a hypocrite about trolls being mean and insensitive. Seriously, he compares people wanting him to talk about the shooting if he's going to talk about the movie (and he can pretty much ignore those comments) to the idea of having to mention a bad film that an actor in the movie had previously made. Then he wants to cry that he has PTSD from people being mean and insensitive to him all the while glossing over a very tragic event that could have and probably did cause some level of PTSD in some of the victims involved to make a throwaway and unnecessary point.
I understand that he's a cartoonist but not every point you want to make has to be made into a cartoon and beaten to death. The sheer amount insensitivity and world-revolves-around-me-ism in that one is astounding. He could have made the same point by simply talking about the movie without mentioning the shooting, but no, he had to make himself out to be the big petty victim that he is.

I presume this is supposed to be his (really lazy) take on the hoverboard chase early in the second movie because Marty is wearing the 2015 shoes. If that's the case Dobson royally fucked up because Marty isn't wearing that outfit at all in that scene.
Not shown: inside out pants pockets and the shoes.

I don't think the comic is insensitive.
This is how I interpret it : "If it is insensitive to choose not to talk about this shooting because people expect me to talk about it, that must apply to other things people expect me to talk about. From tragedies, to all bad things in general, to anything with any relation to anything else."
In other words, "I can't be obligated to talk about something just because other people want me to."

Dobson: "People shouldn't say things I don't want to hear just because I don't want to hear them; to the point that I will suffer complications from PTSD."
Kind of a hypocrite. Also it's an insanely obvious and unneccessary point to make. He certainly didn't need to involve a recent shooting and compare it to minor annoyances.

Dobson thinks this today, but in the old comic he doesn't say it. The squid is telling Dobson what Dobson should be saying, and Dobson is rebuffing the squid, like 'stop trying to control me' - not the other way around.
Comparing then to now, I don't think it is hypocrisy - I think Dobson has gotten a lot worse.
It is my opinion that people have misinterpreted the point of the comic, so it may have been a mistake how he chose to communicate it. Dobson wasn't comparing the shooting to anything. He was comparing people trying to make him talk about the shooting to people doing the same thing with other topics.
I don't think it's fair to call the comic or the point unnecessary, in particular. All creative expression is unnecessary truly, but if he created an extended comic about this point, it probably had some personal significance to him.
