True that.
Say, isn't it awefully progressive to exclusively use gay men as setup for a running gag that never was funny in the first place?

The two midgets don't look much different, Doormat looks like he was stolen from Penny Arcade and the two girls look like mongoloid trannies. It's really something. The old style looked like generic crap, but the new design for the two girls is actually really disgusting. Also everyone in that image looks like they're on crack.

Seriously, I admit that I haven't seen much cartoons in my childhood, but at least most cartoon characters I seen has at least a few redeeming points that makes them worth watching. None of Dobbo's Alex ze Pirate's dumb crew is worth remembering. The new looks they received simply magnified what they were within.

If they all have wanted notices, the apprehender has to pay a reward to the authorities instead of receiving a reward by turning them in.
 
For ages I've been struggling to think who Dobbears furry insert reminds me of, and that dumb con buttons strip finally made it click.

Glasses - check
Dumb hat - check (not in this strip ofc)
Nobbly chin - check
Ugly grump face - check
Self-entitled asshole - check

I don't know how many Kiwi's will have ever read Viz to know what I'm talking about, but the character Spoilt bastard is literally Dobbear in almost every way.
 
It's the redesigns he used for like two comics before he stopped making them. No idea if there will be another set of redesigns for the comic reboot.

And midget pirate is in the comic so rarely I honestly keep forgetting he's in it

Maybe it will be a gritty rev-60 inspired fuckdoll reboot.

Judging from the map he did we can tell its set in social justice skyrim world.

Reading through his old comics, I wonder why he needed a map for his reboot in the first place.
It's not like the yokels ever have a consistent trip from one place to another. In one strip, they're in the middle of the ocean, then they are back in their hideout, next has them near Aliundes Castle (you know, the one with high voltage laserbeams and a convenient "Access to burglars" windows)... He apparently never told a real story-arc and never did anything that would have made the location of any place in relation to another place of any significance.
This is his magnum opus, his big show, something he has done for years... and it's terrible. Dobshit claims he wants to be an artist and tell stories. His bad art perfectly matches the nonexistent writing. There's no plot, there's no developement. Hell, there's not even a clear setting.

And that's part of the reason why I genuinely hope he'll do a comic with an overarching plot instead of yet another lame gag-a-strip soapbox.

A decade ago, there was a webcomic called "Hellbound". The plot was basically some Guy taking a part-time job with some sort of priest, screwing up a summoning ceremony and accidently releasing a succubus from Hell.
The entire plot then revolved around Guy (no seriously, that was his name), Mel (The succubbus), Baxter (A thief they bump into) and Kyota (Mel's sister that got stuck in the body of Guy's pet dog) trying to find ancient sacred relics to exchange for Guy's and Mel's souls, so they can be free.
On their journey, they faced a witch-hunter with an attack-blimp and his mime-sidekick girl amongst other things...
It was a glorious comic that unfortunately got canceled since the artist kinda ran out of steam (a real shame, the comic was very promising).
Why do I bring this up? The comic had a very short runtime, but it had a lot of great moments (like the protagonists accidently turning a whole town into drug peddlers) and despite the issues it later ran into, it always tried to tell a story.
Dobshit made 200 strips and there's nothing that even remotely feels like an overarching plot or a goal it's going towards or anything. It's just "Whacky assholes doing whacky things... and they are pirates or something".
What I'm trying to say: Hellbound was canceled before the first arc was half-way through and yet it STILL feels like it accomplished more plotwise than Dobshit ever has with AzP.

You know, given that Midget Pirate is suppose to be Alex's uncle, this art has...odd connotations.

Ew. Didn't think about that...

Also: You can tell how good the character designs and his art design is in this image. If not for the haircolors, it would be impossible to distinguish which of his characters is supposed to be Daphne and who's Velma.
 
I watched that rough animation. It needs more frames. I'm not sure why he's rushing it because he doesn't have a deadline. But it's way too choppy.

Korra is off model and a potato head, but that's just our Dobson.

I know it's hard to draw one-handed Dobson, but you're going to need more frames.
 
It still blows my mind that someone who claims to be an artist and who allegedly wants to be a cartoonist could have his art get worse and worse over the years. Even fucking Chris-Chan, who had no art school started to get somewhat better in the later Sonichu comics, and he was lazy, and like Dobby, wouldn't be bothered to actually have backgrounds. I certainly hope that all the talk of Dobbles being a cartoonist someday is to convince himself, because he's doing a shit job convincing anyone else.
 
Why would Lesbian Kick be Velma? Why would Midget Pirate be Fred? I get the choices for Gypsy Pirate, Doormat and Furry but those two choices strike me as particularly odd.

I always figured Velma was a lesbian so its decent casting
Midget cripple pirate is Fred because hes closest Dobbie has come to writing an Alpha male

To be honest, having Lesbiankick be Fred in that image might have been a neat choice.
Here's an idea for an image:
CaptainGypsy is Daphne, and next to her is both Doormat and Lesbiankick in Fred-getup. Meanwhile, Cripple is holding up both a Shaggy and a Velma costume with a baffled face and Furryshit is gobbling down Scooby-snacks.

The only reason you can tell Lesbian Kick is Velma is because of process of elimination. The skin tones are completely different.

I think we may have stumbled into a way to fix Dobson.....get him a decent idea man.
On the whole Dobsons art isnt terrible....sure he cant do hands or draw an attractive woman that doesn't look like a drag queen but its decent.
If someone was to tell Dobson what to draw and poke him with a sharp stick every now and then he could produce something half way decent.

I guess Dobson is just the poster child for people who study art and go on to assume it automatically qualifys them as a writer.
 
Oh shit, I didn't even notice at a cursory glance that was meant to be his characters dressed as scooby doo characters, I honestly thought it was just really shitty fanart
 
It's a shame he's clearly rushing this for no reason it's not as awful as most of his work, is he going to animate the face later? or just the mouth? The reason it seems so dead is the face just pausing on each of the pose keyframes. It's not gonna look much better if he just animates the mouth he probably needs to do the whole head with twice as many keyframes as the body.

Although the character is trying to hide her emotions during it you'd think they should be visible subtly through her expressions.

Why would Lesbian Kick be Velma?
Because she's the one he jacked off to when he was younger. Also I just noticed Lesbian Kick's hair is meant to symbolise a rats tail.

He really should ditch the wacky pirate midget for the reboot, you really don't need 2 SO RANDUM characters in a comic.
 
Dobson is currently retweeting a bunch of stuff about a conference Anita is giving a lecture or something at along with anti-GamerGate stuff. Best I can tell is its all about how harassed she is. I'm sure he'll chime in something stupid fairly soon.
 
Looking through some AZP comics, I've realized that quite a few strips involve Lesbian Kick ogling Doormat whenever he's exposed (the one where he's knocked out of the bath and another where has his underwear revealed). While this could be Lesbian Kick actually being bisexual, Dobson is pretty adamant that Lesbian Kick is completely lesbian. This could possibly be one of those "only straight relationship" kind of situations, and considering that Doormat is pretty clearly Dobson's avatar within the comic...
 
Does anyone know who Hayley Atwell is? Because Dobson keeps retweeting stuff about how she wants to play Doctor Who and why it's "the best idea ever!!1!"

Shes Peggy Carter from the TV show of the same name and Captain America.
Shes a pretty average actor who gets by on nerd cred.....mostly.
But shes British and a Nerd and so is "considered" totally perfect for any role
