Inactive Andrew Dobson / Tom Preston / CattyN - STOP DOING SEXIST CRAP

I am now convinced Dobson got a job at Illumination.

P-balloon inflation and several other things in the movie have me convinced that he or one of his few fans was at least a storyboard artist.
He hates Mario and inflated characters he despised so it fits
 
This got me thinking. So Dobbo is now over 40, and has never held a real job in his life for any length of time. Maybe not even for a full year. Without exception, all of his real world jobs were menial, low-paying grunt work, most of them seem to have been part time, and they were jobs he always quit or got fired from. Even his Brentalfloss thing ended. He isn't qualified for anything. His degree won't get him anywhere, and he's been out of any kind of animation work since the day he graduated. No animation studio would hire him since, comparatively, he'd be like a caveman trying to figure out how to fly a rocketship. His webcomic empire never materialized, despite going somewhat viral several times. His D & D 3d printing business plan evaporated, since it was probably vaporware anyway. He's never succeeded at anything other than becoming an Internet pariah, a quick Google search torpedoing any possible chance at being hired for just about anything. That reputation didn't go away when he did, and it never will. Dadson's business probably took a big hit with the Covid thing and now the economy is teetering on the edge of a recession. His parents aren't getting any younger, and sooner or later they'll wind up dead or in a nursing home. So he can't mooch off Momson and Dadson that much longer. He couldn't even get a job flipping burgers because even without his shitty attitude, he'd eat all the profits. And on top of everything else, his health is probably in the shitter right alongside his art career.

So, realistically... what can Dobson do? What kind of work could he possibly get where he lives, if indeed, he still lives with his parents?

Short of prostitution, I don't know. His toxic personality, his pride, and his terrible attitude means he'd be the worst employee in any job. I think he'll go on welfare and live the NEET life, all while dreaming of what could have been.
 
@UtopiaGuy I think he even sucked at YouTube with his lame voice.

I even think he'd be to proud to even take community college courses for basic skills like welding

Even if he could do something like that I’m sure he’d be far too arrogant to ever consider pursuing welding. A job like that is something most consider to be stereotypically masculine, male-dominated, and right-wing.

Dobson’s narcissism and misandry would never allow for him to join the blue-collar workforce with evil Trump-voting nazi metalworkers like that.

He sounds perfectly qualified for any of the massive amounts of bureaucratic bullshit jobs that education, government, and corporate workforces are filled with.

In other words, he can become Dilbert, or Wally, especially if a fan hooks him up.
 
Dobson's prospects would probably be better if he stayed online. He probably could've scrounged up a few paypigs or tried to worm his way into the breadtube or toon twitter circles. It wouldn't necessarily make his life better, but with all his faults and his refusal to improve himself living off being terminally online is about the only thing he can do somewhat successfully.

I still have a suspicion if you found weird porn artists doing commission that started just about the time he disappeared you might find some familiar art ...

That can't be right. Mario's a straight white male and clearly not underaged.
 
I could see him going to community college, but not for welding. That's manual labor, after all, aside from the blue collar thing. I don't think he could start in something like that anyway, given his age and health issues (and chronic laziness). Maybe there are courses he could take for something, but he doesn't like math IIRC, so accounting or anything like that would be out. I dunno what else he might pursue that wasn't art. Or maybe it is, like oil painting or whatever, but that's work, too. Plus, it doesn't have an undo button, so he wouldn't do that. I guess I could see him doing some kind of office thing, filing papers or something, but he would never last because he's lazy, arrogant, and awful, and everyone in the office would soon hate him. I can't see him being punctual, either. He'd always be late to work.

I still think whatever happened to/with Broson might be the key as to why Dobson went radio silent. Has Broson turned up anywhere? Another TV station elsewhere in the country? Might be worth looking into. Is Dadson's company still active? That may hold a clue as well.
 
Underwater basket weaving? Silk screen printing? Lesbian interpretive dance?
1. Doubtful, as that would require both bathing and dexterity.
2. Unlikely as it requires a certain amount of precision for multiple colors, and the supplies would cost money.
3. Possible, but only if Dobson could be the one dancing, and he probably couldn't find a tu-tu big enough to cover his fat ass.
 
Count me as another truly surprised he didn't try to bank on his reputation and "fame" to grift from anti-fans. He could exaggerate his views in the comics he makes while still making it clear he truly believed in whatever he was hyping up to show his beloved woke circles he was A Good Guy. Even Chris-Chan managed to make money off of his online shenanigans - why Dobson couldn't just use some mental gymnastics to justify any anti-fans' cash to support himself, prideful as he is, astounds me.

I think he tried with Patreon before he left DeviantArt. I don't think he did well in it and ultimately got lazy with even that.
And I think he had an argument with his watchers over a poll he did regarding Patreon, I don't remember since I barely interacted with Dobson in dA (save for a group journal on him where he freaked out over my innocent comment of: "oh! He's heavily influenced by Rumiko Takahashi!")
Yes, he tried to argue with me/defend himself over this.
