He had weird obsession to blonde guy bullying him in school. He also tried to defend Apple over regular PCs. The dumbest moment was him telling Robin Williams' daughter to "Calm Thine Tits" after the daughter made post about her father killing himself.

>>7934938
He was a cringe nerd in an era where all the cringe nerds liked to pretend they weren't cringe nerds.

He's only still relevant in the minds of cringe nerds who are, decades later, still in denial about being cringe nerds.

>>7934949
>>7934938
His family forced him to stop being an online clown because it cost his brother his job

he was a sheltered and cuddled artist who couldnt take any criticism and fell into a victim complex despite most people enjoying his work.

Damn, I used twitter when it looked like this and I missed this bit of Dobson lore, he was already the inflatable knee guy afaik.

>>7934941
This is all so tame it sounds like sarcasm.

>>7934974
The things by themselves as one time occurance would be one thing and not an issue. But Dobson made his identity and his art persona and art itself about them

For example the Power Girl cosplay episode. He rewrote the scenario about the Power Girl cosplayer getting harassed by someone and Dobson's art persona bear beating up the harassing guy.

>>7934974
>>7934976
But then it was revealed the cosplayer didn't actually mind posing for the guy photographing and Dobson was just sitting at the back watching the scene and deciding he needs to make it look like he saved the girl

STOP POSTING ABOUT DOBSON I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT

Dobson is based. I'm so disgusted by the current landscape of the internet that I yearn for the simpler times when Dobson being obnoxiously cringe was a big controversy.

File: molemanshittiesttake.png (393.5 KB)

>>7934995
No one would care if he himself didn't post about it and make his online presence about it. Personally, if I didn't know about it, I wouldn't care. But I do know about it and my view on Dobson is what it is because of it.

Before internet one would have easily thought majority of people were well adjusted and somewhat smart. But then internet became more accessible and people were conditioned to think their thoughts and opinion matter and they were given megaphone and stand to go and make their dumbest take available for everyone.

Do I go around thinking about Dobson in my daily life? No. If I see thread about Dobson and get reminded all the shit he brought upon himself and his family and have nothing better to do but post my 2 cents? Yes, I do that.

He had comment section psychosis. Some people just shouldn't venture into the comments.

>>7935001
There are a million and one people who are this cringe, the only reason you care is because he was designated a sacrificial lolcow a decade ago and you ate up all the dumb drama shit.

>>7934938
He acted like a hypocritical bitch. To his credit, he had the balls to actually come to this board for advice. People tried to chase him off but someone told us off for being hypocrites when Dobson actually came here to fix what we bitched about.

>>7934950
I don't know if this is true. Apparently his brother stepped down and even the TV station he worked at didn't know why.

>>7934941
>>7934954
The sad part is I understood why he posted it. He was trying to cheer her up with a funny image but clearly didn't understand why sending that panel was a bad idea.

>>7935003
>There are a million and one people who are this cringe,
okay and? whataboutism
>the only reason you care is because he was designated a sacrificial lolcow
yes and he was also fat and ugly. People like him were born to be bullied.

>>7934941
>He also tried to defend Apple over regular PCs
he lived to be vindicated, 2bh

>>7934938
> pizzacake
Is she even truly a thing?
Her posts get more than 10k upvotes with sometimes less than 100 comments. And only on a subreddit where anyone who does not praise her gets banned. Should be obvious that she is massively botted.

>>7935035
She earns thousands on patreon, stop coping.

>>7935035
she's the most posted artist on /pol/ after stonetoss

He traced the Big Ben into one of his illustrations, and tracing is a crime according to non-draw normies.

>>7934938
when this retard was active, the internet wasn't flooded with normietards who clap like seals at the likes of pizzacake.
If he made his garbage today he'd get thousands of updoots on reddit.

>>7935035
She's previously been proven to bot her posts to hell the second they go out so they hit front page, and she bribes the mods with her flabby tits to allow it and ban any criticism.

>>7935108
Oh I remember that.
He even redrew it iirc
I honestly feel a little bad for the guy, every thing he did was exacerbated by the internet.
But then again, he could never let anything go.
I swear if that nigger could have just laughed at himself once in a while he wouldn't be the DSP of drawing

>>7935131
nah brother you either have dementia or are twelve, the internet had been getting flooded by those at that point

>>7935040
Millions even

>>7934938
I don't even remember. Herd mentality? Hate him just because everyone else hated him? I don't know.

>>7935040
you're coping too, she makes more than ten thousand from patreon alone, probably another ten thousand from her onlyfans
But I guess that makes people like you and that other anon feel insecure

>>7935029
anon, he sees himself in dob. That's why he's getting super defensive over it.

>>7935155

Damn she's living the dream. How do you even get that successful?

>>7935325
Massive talent

>>7934938
I used to comment on his stuff back in the deviant art days, and sometimes he'd respond. Personally I found virtually all of his comics to be painfully unfunny. Not just unfunny like you just shrug at it and move on, but unfunny in such a way that was just baffling.

At best his comics were like the OP pic... the lowest of low hanging fruit and presented in the absolute least funny or creative way imaginable.

>>7934938
It insists upon itself.

>>7934941
The internet really was more tame if those were considered big controversies.

>>7935108
>>7935139

True but in an era of boogie2988s and logan pauls, Dobbie is almost endearing and loveable.

>>7934938
>no more obnoxious than any online griftfluencer you see today
And yet somehow annoyed literally everyone
Maybe drop the historical revisionism, everyone had beef with him.

>>7935557
Everyone also used to be like 16, some of us grew up.

>>7934938
>What did Dobson do that was so wrong that he was chased off the internet?
Didn't he pretend to be a teenage black girl who drew lesbian inflation fetish porn on deviantart as his alter ego or was that someone else?

>>7935557
>yet somehow annoyed literally everyone
Because he was an easy target. Balding, short, conventionally unattractive cringey male who let the trolls bother him. Truth nuke: if he were beautiful, none of this would've happened.

For his time he really was a uniquely unlikeable and arrogant specimen but like a lot of old school lolcows it's hard to get amped up about their antics anymore due to how truly evil the average lolcow has become. If dobson were around today barely anyone would care, he'd be some nobody with no friends bitching into an endless void of people exactly like him.

>>7935569
He was 30.
>>7935602
No, it was largely because he started shit with everyone.

>>7934974
I don't support any of the a-logs still harassing him to this day, but you have to remember he emerged at a different time. The bar for internet freak was so different, we didn't have goonclowns and zoopedo cutsign cults yet.

>>7935694
>He was 30.
Your reading comprehension is impeccable

>>7934995
But it is funny when you know the context

>>7934938
Every few years a group of people gain an obsession into "Coaching" a low-mid tier artist into getting better and when they don't they use the excuse to form a mob against said artist. It's austists hating autists. There are thousands of low tier, retarded deviant art fetish, obese male feminists. He was just the most obvious target at the time because he kept feeding the troll mob.

>>7934941

Some people just don't comprehend culture.
Kiwifarms and SA niggers would have an aneurysm if they learned that there are 241,499,431 Pakistanis who don't know who Hitler is. The number of people who care about who Dobson is is like twelve, and none of them understand how anyone else could possibly not think that it's among the most important things in life.
And what if it's funny? It doesn't even need to be real to be funny.

>>7934938
Also in regards to the comic, I think that people who have accidents are self-destructive and have low consciousness. They cause accidents on purpose but can't perceive their decision process. You can predict their accidents better than they can by asking yourself if you would be thinking about what could go wrong and what the result of that would be given that you were in their situation, when it looks like they might get attention or validation after an accident they will probably have one. And they won't know why.
The lines are too good for the level of appreciation he's going to get from the comic, so he's going to fuck it up on purpose to get sympathy instead, and that's the only logical reason why doing good work should result in him fucking everything up with intent. He just doesn't know that that's his thought process. What he has conscious access to is the excuse that prevents him from accurately perceiving himself as a retard psychopath who would destroy everything for pity.

>>7934938
All of his behavior around his comic is what made him a lolcow, less so the comic itself.

>>7934938
Nothing uniquely "wrong" by modern internet standards—mostly his own thin skin and self-sabotage

The internet laughed him off because he kept handing it ammo. Many creators with worse views or behavior survive by ignoring or cultivating their niche. Dobson didn't

>>7934941
>The dumbest moment was him telling Robin Williams' daughter to "Calm Thine Tits" after the daughter made post about her father killing himself.
Based Dobson

>>7934938
He's literally like if Reddit was a person down to the hypocrisy driving every action get being too much of a spineless pussy to actually stand for anything more than the publicly accepted opinion. Pizzacake is just their spiritual successor. The world would unironically be a better place if people like them killed themselves

>>7937371
Calm down Goebbels, they just draw comics.

>>7937377
No this specific le redditor archetype deserves to rot in purgatory. They don't even deserve a hell. Just to be stuck in limbo. A fitting reward for spineless fucks like them

>>7934941
>muh apple
Who gives a shit? I still think it's hilarious that apple is like kryptonite to turbo-spergs.

>>7934938
All I understood from this is Pizzacake needs to be bullied off the internet too.

>>7934951
I genuinely like this art style, it's like 80s Garfield meets 80s anime
Sad

Dobson was 100% correct in saying that the Mario Bros Super Show was peak Mario and I will not be swayed.

seems like he was just born in the wrong era. if he started now he'd make a killing

>>7934938
>one of the biggest online artists during the early internet
That's just wrong

>>7936243
i can hear the music and bubbles

>>7938450
I would argue it was the right era cuz a lot of creepy nerds like Dobson were rightfully called out and made fun of, something that we desperately need now.

>>7938755
Dog, saying this on 4chan is Olympic gold medal levels of lacking self-awareness.

why didnt he just flip the canvas and draw the horizontal line vertically? its easier if you only use your wrist. he should draw with his arm anyway when doing big lines, but who are we to tell inflator how to draw. and i partly agree with OP, his art was never much of an issue, he is a lazy sperg like most people here.

>>7934954
no he's not the inflatable knees guy, he was pretending to be a teen girl into inflation porn.
The thing with the Son of Dob was that he basically sold himself as one of those 'real' artists grandstanding about a bunch of retarded shit only for all of it to be projection one way or another

>>7938755
They still get called out, people have just learned to be shameless. Say what you want about Dobson, but he had shame and grew as a person. He could've left his patreon (still earning) up like the rest of the griftfluencers, but he took everything down and retreated into the mountains to better himself.

I'd take a hundred Dobsons over some of the soulless grifter e-celebs that we have today.

>>7934938
he just alienated everyone I guess
he alienated inflation fans by sperging out when they found out he's not a girl
he alienated comicbook fans by dropping the hottest of garbage takes
he alienated goontards by going woke
he alienated woketards by fetishising lesbians
he alienated anime fans by constantly insulting the artstyle
he alienated artists by never improoooving
he alienated /co/ by being a sperging lolcow
he alienated his girlfriend by throwing a tanty over christmas dinner or whatever the fuck
and other shit I cba to list

i can't believe i'm alive to see dobson revisionism

>>7935347
Him and pizzacake are cut from the same cloth. It's literally plebbit humor. Which means non existent. You can't be edgy on plebbit. They only allow mayonnaise pasta. Sure you have the newer reddit which is taking over, with edgy people saying nigger and what have you, but the prevailing plebbit humor for the longest time would put even a puritan grandma to sleep.

It's funny that I would sometimes see an account that draws almost like dobson, but the art is actually good compared to his on my feed, making me think that actually him, but under a new name.

>decent art
I stopped reading

>>7934938
Let's ask the real question: do you think Dobson would be using AI if he was still online?

>>7934938
I just hate how 99% of his comics are just "that totally happened guys" or "yes that's the joke"

>>7940177
idgi

>>7940242
He traced Big Ben, so yes. Photobashing/tracing AI is a normal/fair use, and it happens more than people realize. To pros, there's no difference between photobashing a photo or AI image, only the final result matters.

>>7934954

>Scott McCloud
Were always curious if reading his work "Making Comics" would make you a better storyteller. Despite dobson being directly taught by the author, the results weren't pretty.
Should this be taken as a sign that McCloud don't teach anything useful?

>>7940177
even worse than Dobson. I think she gets away with it because nobody here heard of her.

>>7940510
Scott's a good resource, he knows his stuff. Zot is a great comic!

It should be taken as a sign that Dobson is a poor student. If you've even passively read any of his auto-biographical comics (or comics clearly inspired by his childhood in terms of being taught art), it quickly becomes apparent that Dobson's art sucked because he couldn't take criticism and had a very fragile ego. He only internalized what was comfortable for him rather than actually working on what he sucked at.

>>7937384
As someone who works with kids and SPED kids, Dobson (and similar artists) exists as a result of bad parenting, but specifically coddling/overprotectiveness + spoiling + tying affection to achievement + emotional unavailability + praising without teaching responsibility. It really only pops up with artsy kids or STEM kids who struggle with making and keeping friends.

Just like Linkara or AVGN, Dobson is clearly an example of an adult with undiagnosed autism. This isn't even a joke, you can tell by looking at his eyes and the shape of his head/face.

>>7940671
None of these people have autism faces

>>7940518

wdym she's constantly getting bullied and harassed and all her more recent comics are about her owning the trolls
but she does seem to take it better than dobson, she's clearly not as fragile. ofc it's easy for her because unlike dobby she's making real money off her work (mostly the porn)
>>7940791
she made the mistake of soapboxing about politics

>>7940671
AVGN was the glue guy for a group of potentially attractive and/or successful people who can't get shit down on their own and are constantly burning bridges until his nagging wife gave him burnout.

Dobson is more in line with Chris Chan.
