Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

[Ryan Rash]

Dobson perceives little things, such as calling him Dob, as bigger slights than they are because he is used to be told he is very talented and special and important.

So I have a question, if Dobson really hates DA as much as he says he does why doesn't he just go elsewhere. There are other websites and I mean, it's hard to stick around for the asspats if your expressed goal is to completely annihilate any comments in the first place--so why even bother with DA?

I have an easy solution for Dob if he's reading this: get the fuck off of the internets. It's obvious he's not wanted.

The mohawk... it makes me very uncomfortable.

It looks like she might kill someone with it.

Why the fuck does young Dobs have four eyebrows that are miles above his head? Why does his classmate have no eyebrows and one antenna? Did Dobs in frame 4 lose his eyebrows along with his hair? Was that comic drawn before, during, or after college?

I don't understand any of this because the eyebrows I draw don't look stupidly ridiculous.

...so, did anyone ask him if it's ok to call him Dobby yet?

Previously Dobson has said he has no interest in growing as an artist in the traditional sense, like here he says "It take a lot of courage to admit to yourself that your art isn’t perfect. But if you keep at what you do, slowly and gradually you’ll grow and bloom into awesomeness. Even the biggest trees start as little saplings. You can’t force growth, you have to let it happen naturally." so basically he thinks he'll improve by not changing and doing whatever he has been doing.

See, that imo is the est, most frustrating thing about Dobby. He paragons "natural growth" and "taking your time", and cherrypicks those pretty little quotes and stories to make a case for him, but they simply do not transpose to his situation. At all.

Like in this analogy, he think he's a sapling slowly growing into a big tree, but in his argument he forgets that trees do not just magically grow with time. They need a proper substrate to grow on. If they don't have one, their growth is stunted, and not all waiting world will make them grow. Dobson went to college, and had the best substrate he could had, and yet, he went right through it as a potted plant. And he remained in the exact same fucking pot he germinated on. Forever. He never bothered to transplant himself into anywhere else. Even worse, he methodically prunes any bud that could ever sprout out of him, by ignoring and rejecting any and all criticisms directed to him.

So in his metaphor, Dob views himself like this:

when in reality, he is pretty much like this:

He'd probably throw the biggest shitstorm in his journal. Mind you, we're the ones who calls him that, so imagine if someone decided to show him the thread (or even the website).

 

[CWCissey]

Heh, Dobby The Art Elf.

But in the strip where Dobby bemoans the fact the Internet is not his hugbox, the girl with the big mohawk, is that meant to be Lisbeth Salander?

I like how he conveniently ignores that, out of the five pictures surrounding his (visible in this screencap), four of those are by considerably more talented artists.

[hm yeah]

i love how he draws dobby bear being annoyed when hot young crazy women let themselves into his home. the blue bear itself is more realistic than that scenario.

I take it the guy at the left is another midget.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

But, you know, don't criticize Ol' Dobby Boy about anything...

 

[Count groudon]

Yeah her hair makes her look like a shitty sonic OC. And holy shit, that one poor guy was just trying to ask him something and he completely ignores what he said simply because the guy have him an innocent little nickname. What a dick.

I love the Death Bunny one. It's an attack on consumers for buying it, attacks creators for making such trash and is used as a platform to make Dobson look good. "Oh, woe is me. Sharing a table with someone who combined death and sex appeal. Such filth."

The Death Bunny guy is actually putting effort into promoting his product unlike Dobson.
Death Bunny has banners, posters, a little backdrop, props, and even a little neon sign.
Dobson literally has nothing. No effort expended at all.

 

[Gothicserpent]

I think he likes being a big bear in a small forest, so to speak.

What a cunt.

 

[Krookodile]

Wow, Dobby, you drew DeathBunny guy's books so professionally! I can't comprehend why anybody would question your artistic genius. Seriously, it doesn't look like he put any effort into that. He clearly drew squares and added lines.

Funny how Dob's "original" work (like the fedora-bear) is so fucking bland compared to a fictional pervert strawman's fanservice series. I don't care for pure sex appeal content but that well-endowed bunnygirl with a cute mascot/icon looks a thousand times more interesting than anything Dob's ever put out. The DB logo is more appealing and unique than the SYAC logo too, and the fat, gross, hairy neckbeard creator actually looks approachable. And isn't wearing a stupid fedora.

Why is Dobson so displeased at sharing a table with George R. R. Martin?

As I understand it, he doesn't like a lot of fanservice. That blue bear of his seems to go into an irrational rage over mild fanservice sometimes.
