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

Can you imagine, if Momson and Dadson ever finally did the needful and kicked Dobby out of the house, and he got a roommate, I hope he turns out to be that guy in the news who's parents evicted him from their home. It would almost be like Dobson was living with a mirror image of himself, only taller and thinner. It would drive them both bananas, a fate they both truly deserve.
I had to look up who you were talking about and--

-- I can't breathe.

I want a sitcom about this guy and Dobbo living together.

The amount of former fans of his that have sent me a message on the blog...probably more than Dobson has fans now.
That's the part of the Dobson saga that would be sad if he wasn't such a douchebag. People have made decent money off webcomics, and from what I can tell Dobson used to have the popularity to make that possible, but he managed to drive everyone away and only has himself to blame for it.
 
I was about to mention the Sierra Vista mountains. No walls, only because if you don't bring a backpack full of water and travel a specific path, you're pretty much dead. Every year the Army trainees have to go up the mountain to dig fire trenches because said illegals also love to not put out their campfires and burn up half the fucking mountains.

I was thinking of a specific Arizona park, the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, often described as the most dangerous national park in the country, largely for exactly this reason, i.e. go in there without enough water and likely you're not coming back out.
 
Okay, I wanna stop some shit going on here, its on topic because I have to tell it to friends and acquaintances when they start vilifying people. Or like Dobson and MovieBob acting like Trump voters all voted for faas uhsim willingly. And I'm going to bring it up now, if we're going to start calling illegal immigrants lazy and stupid.

Count your blessings. That you've never been in such dire straights. That you never have to be in a situation where it looks like you've only got one way out, and its to do something that looks so poorly on the outside. You can call them lazy or stupid or evil, but hindsight is 20/20.

illegal immigrants are lazy and stupid lol

When my family first moved to Arizona all the news stations and (I believe) the local paper would not only announce whenever a new batch of dead illegals was found in the desert, they'd also tally up the numbers at the end of the year, and it was not a small number. After a few years though they stopped doing this, and I really wish they would do it again so that maybe some people could write back home and tell their relatives not to do this because of how insanely dangerous it is.

But I like to see anything Dobson defends as bad. Sorry for those immigrants, nothing personal but they got DOBSONED.

The thing is, Dobson wasn't popular with the kind of people that generate a profit (pretty typical for SJWs, now that I think about it).
He was selling commissions and comicbooks back then and he never managed to really make money on them.

The demographic that he was most popular with were young teens that didn't know any better and who had absolutely no money to spend on shitty knock-off One Piece. He was never popular with people who actually spend money on things.

I assume they bury the bones they find somewhere. before doing so, they should take a cast from every skull, make a replica and place that in a great pile at the border crossing that these people use. The immigrants will sooner or later get the hint.
 
I love how Dobby is still complaining he isn't making money ("hint, hint," he says). You can't really convert views/clicks/shares on Tumblr or FB into money. At least, not the way he thinks. You need to work at it, network, advertise, all kinds of stuff before you can start making money from fans/followers. Right now, he has no point for his followers to coalesce around. No website of note. No comics with broad appeal. No podcast. Nothing. That means he can't build a critical mass of fans, which you need in order to convince these people to shell out some dough. And, even if he could build a critical mass of fans, he has nothing to actually offer them for their money (books, t-shirts, prints, etc.). All he has are these one-note, pandering comics he just pisses out onto Twitter, FB, or Tumblr. They already get that for free, and can find better elsewhere, also for free. So why give Dobby money? What for? They have no real reason to.

Thing is, Dobson believes he should be given all the accolades without effort on his part.

Before he set up his pitiful Patreon, he made a poll on Twitter, asking how much (if anything) people would be willing to pay. A shitton of people voted "nothing", but still a few dozen said 5-15 bucks or something (which came out to like 1000 bucks total), so Dobson set up his Patreon and lo and behold:
These """fans""" talk the talk, but didn't walk the walk. He ended up with a Patreon that didn't make it past 85 bucks for most of its runtime and at best just went as far up as 120 or so bucks for 2 months.

He's been more successful than me, then. Which yes, makes me gag, but then I don't really do any of the marketing stuff, so if I don't make money I know it's probably on me. He's (in)famous, which is free advertising, but he doesn't seem to know how to capitalize on it. If I were fuckface, I'd only show teasers of his new comics. I'd put most of the stuff behind a paywall, knowing full well that at least one or two "trolls" couldn't help themselves but to give him a few bucks to see it. Then, even if they were to share it with everyone else, Dobson would still be a few bucks ahead, and could laugh at the "trolls."

"Embrace the hate, and monetize the shit out of it," is the best piece of advice I could give him. But he can't face the fact that's the only way he'll make any money. Getting over himself, and hard work.
 
He actually thinks he's relevant enough that people would orchastrate this attack in such a manner :story:

Good God has his ego swelled just from one poorly drawn strawman comic being re posted a few times. I can't even the levels of narcissism if he ever achieved mainstream success.
Now watch him sulk and mope when he fails to repeat that feat.
Also, when he thought he was a dA bigshot, he was dismissing people left and right and always loved to emphasize how much of an accomplished artist he is (what with his degree and his title as "fresh epic" and all)...
If he was actually just somewhat successful on a commercial level, he'd be outright intolerable.
Then again, I do have a feeling that his high-and-mighty attitude was one of the key factors that kept him back even then.
 
I wish someone would ask Dobson (either on his tumblr or his twitter or his fb) just what it would take to be considered his "friend". I am genuinely curious what exactly he thinks friendship is. Because it sure as hell isn't the dictionary definition. Calling all :epik: :epik: :epik: ...
