Dobson is in that weird place only a couple of failures ever manage to enter: He does not find any fucking place/niche to fit in.
Say about certain bronies whatever you want, at least they know horsefuckers want pastel horse porn so they deliver. Say also about Mark Millar what you want, he delivers his shit and makes money out of it for Marvel/DC/whoever just has him on payroll now. Even the general webcomic artist knows who he is gathering to with his/her story and where things are headed. But Dobson?
Dobson thinks he is going to become famous in the mainstream like Superman with a very generic pirate crew webcomic that has no story and only shitty punchlines that can't even be really connected towards each other. Say about Peanuts and Garfield what you want, at least their creators managed to create enough connection between strips that some people were able to make animated shorts/shows out of them that were succesful in their time.
Dobson is completely out of touch with what people nowadays enjoy to read in a story, period. and frankly, considering that kids shows like MLP are even enjoyed by adults, I think it would not be that difficult to come up with something childish even they can enjoy.
Even if he wants to target at young adults, I think any teenager would look at his artstyle and just say "neh, too childish. I rather read a Spiderman comic".
In Dobsons defense (and I hate myself for doing this) but its worth remembering he claims hes not interested in fame or finding his place.
He has his fans, he has his hug box and he makes some very very slight bank. Dobson doesnt want to cater anything other the himself. He earning $150 dollars a month from drawing things only he wants to see. He trolls give out roughtly $40 dollars (total not individual) a month just to get early access to his latest piece of shitty art.
These days hes far more realistic about his chances in the industry (pretty much none) and the size of his fan face (literally 50 people, he still also has a bunch of DA fans from his inflation days).
At this point basically being an artist is a fun game for him to play (which we occasionally make less fun), he doesnt give a fuck if hes not making money cause the bank of mom and dad will bail his ass out.
