💼 Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

The joke here is Tom Preston.

 

[Gothicserpent]

Oh, and also

I think he's embarrassed because she isn't being inflated.

Again sorry for the lack of polish. I didn't really wanna spend an hour or so on redrawing dobson pictures:

"Mister preston! What're doing out of figure drawing class already?"
"Bah, I'm already better than everyone else. I don't need to work on anything!"

(Why oh why can I not capture the creepiness of inflate-o bear!? I even stuck to the disgruntled care bear look!)

Perhaps that is the tragedy of Tom Preston.

He has refined his inability to such an art, to the point where his ridiculous cutesy, smarmy and disgruntled teddy bear can only be truly horrific under his digital pen. Normal hands simply cannot create such an awful thing intentionally.

So the joke here is that Preston is awkward around naked women at his figure class? I mean there isn't even the semblance of any joke there- not even cringe humour.

Maybe the lady has a dick or something they only show the towel. Maybe its Chris.

That would make a lot of sense, especially considering most other artists cannot truly capture the bear horror even those like Curtsibling who seems to specialize in the cartoonishly grotesque.
But maybe I'll do more quick redraws for the thread if people like em enough!

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

I think the joke is that he's 16 and had never seen a naked lady

9. Knowing that black girl is a lesbian and Alex is not makes their pose together so very uncomfortable. Like if Dobson wanted to make a statement about feminism, he could have had the boy pirate clinging to Alex's leg in fear while Alex fights off sharks or whatever. But instead it's lesbian girl and her hand is RIGHT ON ALEX'S ASS. Not to mention that instead of trying to do something heroic, Alex is waving an underwear flag of surrender.

This is something in general that bother's me about Dobson's idea of "feminism". He says he's for women's rights and all that and constantly screams at people for not exceeding his absurdly high expectations, but then he turns around and has trouble portraying an actual strong, female character. This shows up too in that "female nerd get's yelled at by a male at a convention" comic he drew that someone posted some pages back. He could have totally had the woman stand up for herself, and then encouraged all girls and women to stand up for themselves and not let themselves be bullied by people for liking "guy" things. Instead she gets yelled at and Dobson bear just watches.

Well duh, she needed a brave baby blue--I MEAN white knight to save her and bed her of course!
It's what I don't get about most sjws, going on about how women are super strong and all that they really should be... while acting as if all women were weaklings that couldn't do anything for themselves. Sadly the male bear-tas aren't the only ones who act in this way.

He doesn't even save her in that strip. He just says something stupid because "Men r dumb"

 

[Pine Tar]

Basically SJWs are a red shade of chauvinist when it comes to women and Tom Preston is no different.

If you're talking about this comic, I think the issue is more to do with Tom's reaction than the woman's. You go to a con dressed like that, you probably want to have your picture taken - with your permission. Sure, some shy guy might snap a photo from a distance, but that's bound to happen and you probably won't even know about it. There's a big difference between taking a secret photo and running back to the basement and walking right up to some cosplayer chick and snapping a shot of her ass, while loudly announcing what a fine ass it is.

At this point one of two things can happen. She tells him to fuck off and he does. She might be pissed about it, but hopefully it won't ruin the con for her. Or he doesn't fuck off and she gets security on his ass. Cons have harassment policies, as they should.

Instead, neither of these things happen and Preston commits a misdemeanor by assaulting him with a baseball bat. For all we know the dude could have been like, "Oh, I'm sorry! My girlfriend is also cosplaying that character and for a second I thought she was you." And then Preston cracks his head open.

 

[MysticMisty]

No, it was some chick cosplaying as a Star Trek character, and some other nerd went up to her and basically accused her of being a poser and not actually into Star Trek. Shit like that. Dobson just sits and watches with that one, and then proved the woman actually knew her Star Trek. After the con bully had left.

 

[Jaimas]

It's worth noting that our favorite psychopath is a huge fan of Dobson.

Small fucking world.

I have a few questions and observations I have to ask/address about this comic.

- First off, I'm pretty sure that's not how cosplay normally works (being to conventions before, I've never seen this sort of thing happen). Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Dobson didn't know that's not how it works. And if he did, he sure as shit failed to show it here (unless the whole point was trying to show the bear be a badass. In which case he failed at doing too).
- Secondly, who's the redhead in the first two panels, and how does she know Dobson bear?
- Thirdly, I'm frankly surprised Dobson bear could get someone to come to his booth.
- Finally, the whole thing reeks of Dobson's blatant "Warrior against sexism" tendencies he loves to promote. Am I the only one who thinks this?

Also love how the 911 operator doesn't give two shits about the fact the bear's killing the man.

This one?

 

[A Random]

Yes.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

That must be another one of those super funny sophisticated jokes that's just over my head. He's REALLY good at those.

 

[OBAMATRON]

I like how Dobbles gets off on painting himself as a pathetic white knight in a fedora. ...and a fursuit

Reagarding that comic:

Someone made a parody of Dobson's works, and they are all 100x funnier.
