The most baffling thing to me is how he constantly pretends he's just two or three years younger than he is. Why would you even do that? What's the benefit of telling people you're 34 instead of 36?

Because he can, and no other reason than shits and giggles. That, or his real birthday/age would provide an investigator with vital information needed to access some official record of something he wants to hide. It'd be interesting to see if he's spent time in detention or a mental health care facility. It's definitely possible.The most baffling thing to me is how he constantly pretends he's just two or three years younger than he is. Why would you even do that?

That's an interesting idea. Maybe he did spend a couple of years in a facility and denies that timeframe from existing in his mind.Because he can, and no other reason than shits and giggles.

A friend of mine does this. Craziest bastard I have ever met. He's always dating or hitting on girls in their early 20s. Always gets caught by the girl - never fails. I think it is just setting up some petty lie he can get caught in that they can lord over him so they don't start questioning the mountain range of deceit and madness he's actually trying to distract them from.The most baffling thing to me is how he constantly pretends he's just two or three years younger than he is.

Cooincidentally, Yoko spent 1984 through 1990 abdicating her responsibilities to Sean via carting the poor kid to Michael Jackson's for sleepovers.This guy seems like a more autistic version of Yoko Ono, without Lenon of course.

Anyway yeah he's disgusting and it's fucked up that he's getting money, popularity and recognition for ripping off and shitting all over (literally) the work of a wonderful, woefully underappreciated cartoonist.
Haha wow I didn't even know about this but I googled it andI always hated this schmuck for his obvious Vaughn Bode rip-offs. Even the way he frames the panels, the fonts, speech bubbles-- they're all altered just enough not to be copies, but just barely.
It'd never work...don't you know that Miss Christine hates butt garments?You know, he's not too far from Ruckersville. This could be the male lesbian romance we've all been waiting for.
I'm also a fan and another similarity I noticed is how Schmorky sometimes uses similar speech patterns like "Cuz" and "Da". (Have you read Kim Deitch's - The Boulevard of Broken Dreams? It's good!)![]()
Shmorky tries to do this sort of thing, but because there's very little substance to his characters or their stories/what they're doing, it's just cheap and juvenile to an insulting point. These are 2 characters from Cheech Wizard, if anyone wants to explore Vaughn Bode's work (not to be confused with similar-looking work from his son, Mark Bode, who is carrying on his father's legacy by using a similar style yet making it also his own). You can really see in the old comix how much Smorky has directly taken facial expressions, the way he draws lips and eyes, and it really gets under my skin how he stole another person's handwriting as if it were just a font. (That last bit might be petty i'm just :powerlevel: big Vaughn Bode/underground comix fan)

I don't see why people are claiming his ex-gf sounds "too articulate to be crazy". Plenty of completely batshit people can speak coherently, whether they have any education or not. Also seems like since she's writing it in the aftermath, (and she explained she's got a normal job and such) seems like she's settled down enough to think about what she's saying. None of it seems too far-fetched...cartoonists tend to be really weird people, especially people who do erotic toons.

He could be just a legit ugly ass 18 year old. He's from a town that only has about 500 people in it, give or take. Who knows what kind of gene pool that has. I once lived in a place less populated than that, and I was the only new person who had showed up in over 20 years. Creepy.This photo is from what I can gather is from 2000, around the time of Lowtax's wedding:

The photos during the wedding have him hiding his face or it outright being edited out (That's him on the right):

So if he's 36 that means he'd be 20 year old in that picture, or 18 if you take his word for his age and that sure doesn't look like an 18 year old to me.
I was being forgiving about the speech pattern thing because a lot of comix people do that, especially the more "psychedelic" kind... but yeah he's a stupid dummy copycat. I love Kim Deitch but actually haven't read that one. I'll add that to my list.I'm also a fan and another similarity I noticed is how Schmorky sometimes uses similar speech patterns like "Cuz" and "Da".

Agreed. I'm completely batshit and so are nearly all the people I know, in varying degrees. Plenty of articulate wingnuts around, trailer park be damnedI also don't get that seeing as she is incredibly open about the fact that she is, in fact, completely insane. That's actually part of why I view her account as a lot more credible than you'd usually view the account of an utter bugfuck nutcase, which she is.
As someone with a number of absolutely insane friends, I think this completely crazy person's account is very, very credible.
I have no doubt that shmorky is a lolcow, especially after reading all of this shit.
but am I a huge faggot to also think he is a "legitimate" outsider artist? I was just a really big fan in my early internet days and I don't want to think I was an unironic fan of a fucking lunatic.
