I'm pretty sure Dobson was the one wrote them. Only because that really forced, unfunny attempt at a meme seems to be more on par with his lame idea of what's funny.
On a side note, I've heard that Brentalfloss said that Dobson was generally an unpleasant asshole and barely tried when it came to making the comics so he's stated that he'd never work with him again.

Any actual proof of him saying that? I hear it a lot online, but I haven't seen any screencaps to prove it.

I seem to remember him commenting on it before, but I can never actually find it when I try look for it again. It also doesn't help that I can't exactly remember where he posted it either

Theres no actual proof anywhere that i know of. Plenty of people "close" to brent claim it was because dobson was a dick.
The reality appears to be brent didnt like what dobbie was doing and dobbies delays in producing the comic so rather than confronting him he let his contract lapse.
The two are still in somewhat civil contact (well brent gives short uncommittal replies) so theres likely no drama.

I wonder if it would be possible to purchase a Dobbo original drawing...It is on my bucketlist.

Roth wrote a bunch of blog posts talking about how great dobbie is, how nice he is to work with and how professional he is on his approach to work....basically that we should leave dobson alone.
That said internet chatter is that he and brent hire dobbie because they felt sorry for and wanted to redeem him as a cow.

Its odd when you consider they were fully aware of the catty n stuff and his history of internet drama.
Maybe they hired him to be the projects lightning rod. So if everything turned out to suck, if they managed to offend or just were plain unfunny then fuck it, not our fault lets blame dobbie.

Looks like Dobby found a new senpai.
Off topic: No one is going to hire Quinn professionally after the shit she's pulled.

The Brentalfloss strips definitely weren't written by Dobson. A couple of times he stated Brent and Dan would send him a script with guidelines and he'll have to draw it. One particular time he bitched (on a dA journal) that he got a notice from them that he had to change a small thing in one of the comics with only an hour left for the deadline.
Oh, yeah. This one: http://tompreston.deviantart.com/art/The-One-With-The-Towel-Turban-404567940

Edits can be annoying, but I reckon even changing one pixel is enough to send Preston into full salt-mining mode...

Takahashi's always been fairly up front about the fact that she panders to her audience and is writing to make sales. She's actually not a very creative or artistic person, she mostly whips up a few ideas and then milks them as long as possible while using as many standardized tropes as possible. Look at the two series you mentioned... she wanted to target boys with Ranma 1/2, so there's a ton of nudity, pervy situations, and the romance is treated like a joke. With Inuyasha, she wanted to lean more towards targeting girls, so nudity's pretty much a no-go (in fact they don't even show Kagome's panties, no matter how action-y the scene gets), the romance has jokes and goofiness connected to it but is more sincere, there's a lot more focus on pretty boys, etc.
Takahashi writes to the paycheck, and making social commentary would clash with that.
As Jafar said, it depends. Some artists have a simple upright rack behind them that has a poster and/or banner and probably also some examples of the stuff they're selling (con badges, prints, keychains, etc.)... some even just use it as basically a store rack for that sort of stuff to eliminate some of the clutter on the table in front of them. I'd say the major difference between that poster and what most artists have behind them that's similar is that most artists who do that are promoting something specifically (usually their webcomic)... Dobson's just promotes himself. Like, you see Piro at a con, he usually has a poster behind him that says "Megatokyo", or Scott Ramsoomair would have a poster for VG Cats. I can't recall ever seeing an artist post up a big poster just bragging about... well, being themselves.

I will say though, I respect she at least admits that she is not the greatest. And hey it is not as if that hasn't hurt her in terms of sales.
Though at last, to wrap this thing with the award kind of up, I also wonder, what mangaka could even be nominated nowadays for the award if we look at what Japan has to offer in itself?
I am also a fan of mangas and one of my favorite mangas of all time (FMA) was after all writen by a woman. But considering that those awards are looking for something more "sophisticated" (sory, do not want to sound snobish) who or what could they even nominate? I enjoy One Piece, Onepunch Man, some random short series and so on, but who would really count for a jury like that? I can only think of four people and two of them are dead. Osamu Tezuka, because he created the first popular mangas, Keiji Nakazawa (guy who made Barefott Gen, one of the best anti war mangas ever, I highly recommend it) , Akira toriyama, because he created with Dragon Ball the basics for every Shonen Manga past 1995 and Urasawa. The last one because Billy Bat, Monster, 20th century boys and anything else by him in terms of style and storytelling actually is more european than japanese.

Well, I don't blame Dobson for having a banner with his name. A convention attendee (or whatever the term is) might be a fan of an artist's work, yet unable to identify them by sight. However, what I can't understand is why Dobson just settled for a roll-up poster of his characters - this when we know he's capable of imagining much more impressive ways an artist can promote themselves...
Looking again at this cartoon, I find myself thinking the same thing... Does he really hate himself that much that in creating his "perfect enemy", he comes up with a successful version of himself?

Dobson doesn't care about kids. This is what he cares about:
He just wants fap material in a children's cartoon setting because a more mature setting is too much for him.

I think creators should tell the stories they want to tell instead of filling some kind of quota Dobson and others like him want.

Is he really that desperate to see Jasmin's magic carpet?
