Hmmm? Oh! I'm sorry, Dobson.

It is just sad when you have to highlight stuff you did as a four year old, just because you are desperate for any sort of attention. It just makes me think that if Dobson was an attractive woman, he would be the equivalent of Kim Kardasshian in terms of wantin to be in the spotlight

I just think it was just an easy way out of putting some actual content up, half shocked he hasn't been putting Mario Maker levels up there "You're paying for ALL the Dobson, not just my comics silly! Today you might be paying for a Mario level, tomorrow you might be paying for a sketch from my childhood or a storify post"
 
On thing is for certain, Dobs choice of backgrounds hasn't changed a lot in the past 30 years.
Admittedly, 30 years ago, he didn't know any better, whereas today, he's just not giving a damn and leaving huge blank spaces is just a much more convenient way to churn out sub-par soapbox bullshit more quickly.

Animals have been fucking with consent before humans formed the first sentence. I'm pretty sure we don't all want or need the mood killer that is "May I please put my penis in you?" after foreplay to know what the fuck comes next.

Best part about her tweet is the fact that she basically insinuates that every male person to ever soil the planet is a filthy rapist unless he's held back by the SJW-wisdom of when consent is truly "consent". Ah... I might not call myself an expert on the scientific grounds of "consent", but last I checked, the moment two people begin to tug at each other's clothing was kind of an accepted method to determine that "consent" was about to happen.
But no, we need these prudes to educate us that consent isn't always "consent" and there's a whole rainbow of situations when consent isn't "consent" even though the other person (always female, mind you) did indeed consent.
Mostly, it's not "consent" when the evul patriarchy has warped the poor girls mind, so she doesn't see 90% of regular sexual intercourse as some sort of rape or assault.

Remember when he suicide baited and everyone here was really concerned?

Yeah. That's why suicide baiting should be forwned upon, cause people tend to take it seriously. But Dobs has the most ridiculously retarded asspatters and they will defend this behaviour.

... or even some performance art where he waddles to the closest McDreck to feed on the flesh of tortured chicks. And sweet sour dip.

So I'm on mobile, but anyone want to take a crack at editing this?

Well, apparently, he stalked /co/, but that was back in the day when he still had some fans and I assume he was looking for asspats and mollycuddling.

Dobson is definitely the best example of a "manchild" I can think of. Even Chris has grown up considerably. I've never seen Dobson talk about love, or going out, or traveling, or really doing much of anything besides bitching and playing video games. It makes me wonder if the primary reason why Dobson's comics suck is that he has no frame of reference or set of experiences with which to draw artistic inspiration from. He only knows bitching and drawing so he draws himself bitching while drawing.

Yeah, totally agree here. Chris is a raging autist, sure, but he somehow managed to carve out a decent social life despite everything working against him, and that hasn't been an uphill battle, that has been Mount Everest.

Regardless, he still managed to acquire a social life, and Chris is still producing art, and while Dobson might have more "book sense" in regards to art, I'd pick Chris' art because you can tell he actually enjoys his work. Dobson's work oozes as much resentment as it's creator, and it shows in the bland themes, unlikable characters, and static style.
 
Feel free to grant me a 'Late' tag for this, but I've just realised something about Dobson's comics, and it really makes me hate him a lot more:
All of Dobson's comics is either about him being a victim or some smug, all-knowing piece of shit.

There is not ONE comic in his entire archive where he's in the wrong, or learns from an experience.
Every single strip is him being the 'only sane man' in a world full of ignoramuses that must be informed (by him, of course) or complete jackasses that exist to make his life miserable, SO FEEL SORRY FOR HIM.

....and he wants to know why people don't like his comics.

Chances are, he just muted you. Like he does with half the people who tell him something he doesn't want to hear.

As we all know, inspiration is a big variable, but here's several ways to write a story, create characters, settings and so on.
Many things can offer input, such as personal experience or just things that interest you. GRR Martin might not have experienced a feudal society, but he does know his english history and used that (alongside a shitton of other knowledge about feudal liege systems, etc) to create a really compelling setting filled to the brim with awesome characters and a riveting story.
JRR Tolkien tried to create something like a saga, an epic tale when he wrote Lord of the Rings and he drew heavy inspiration from mythological stuff, but also created a lot of stuff on his own.
There's a Mangaka called Endo Hiroki, he made a comic in a somewhat post-apocalyptic cyberpunk setting and based a few chapters off his experience working as a bartender in a red light district.
I think there's also an anthropologist or ethnologist who wrote a fantasy novel that tries to depict a "first contact" situation between humans and non-humans in a realistic manner (using real historical examples as reference).

You take something as reference, inspiration or foundation and work from there to create something. The bigger and more specific this is, the more special your outlook on a certain topic can be. For instance, someone specializing in pre-historic cultures might be able to create a really interesting world where that's the focus. Someone into rocket science might be able to create an awesome sci-fi story. Someone into myths, legends and the likes might be able to create intriguing fantasy novels. Or a dozen other things, point is: with a different personal focus of interests, skills and knowledge, you can create a really unique perspective when writing a story.

And then we look at Dobson. Who bashes Anime for being bad, then rips off anime-clichees, designs and characters wholesale and pretty much never does anything with it. Look at his "magnum opus", the story he's been working on for nearly 2 decades: Alex ze Pirate. It's not even a coherent story. Neither is it a coherent or compelling work. There's a few minor story-arc-like strips, but they are really short and inconsequential overall. You could read these strips in any random order, you'd not even realize it for the most part.
What I'm trying to say: Dobs mainly took his inspiration from really shallow media, and it shows. He doesn't have the creativity (or at least never proved to possess the necessary creativity) to actually create something worthwhile. The only references he uses are either incredibly shallow (such as his cartoons) or he's just devolving his story into soapboxing.
It's plain to see, Dobs has really shallow interests and hobbies (not that I wanna talk down to these hobbies, I enjoy some of them, too!), it's just very akin to a person gorging himself on microwaved tv-dinners, trying to create food without a cookbook. When your idea of "tasty" is a Hungry-Man-dinner, you're not going to come up with anything much better from the get go.

It's really weird when he tries to make fun of himself and even that comes across as haughty and passive-aggressive.
One of the many things that Dobs shares with his eternal soulmate Chris-Chan is his attitude to basically go "I am sorry you fucked up and got angry at me."
