I wonder if he has DSP style “detractors” back home. Has anyone seen any anti-ugojesse stuff?

Ah wuild juist like tae sae, es eh Scoatsman, we dinnae talk like that at all! (Well, for the most part). Also, slight aside, I really hoped there would be an Australian dialect version of Wikipedia but I have been unable to find one as of yet.

The thing about Scots is that it really is its own language at this point. It's been around for quite a while; it's more similar to Middle English than Modern English btw.

Are you referring to Scots Gaelic? If so, then yeah totally. As for modern Scottish-English though, it's pretty disappointing if you're expecting something outlandish. It's just a silly accent and a bunch of local slang terms. Back in the days before TV (which was/is dominated by English and American programming) it definitely would have been more pronounced in both unique local terms and a thicker, almost impenetrable accent.

Back to ugojesse, I enjoy viewing his stuff as it's a peek into African culture and you never know whether you're going to be reading a wholesome, heartwarming one, some awful one about murdering children or abusing the mentally ill, or some penis pill shilling.

One thing I really don't like about his style though is how obvious it is that he's tracing. Often the inconsistency in how the characters are drawn within even the same panel is just too jarring, and it's obvious when he's actually drawn something himself because it has those ungodly google eyes and black hole for a mouth.

I can forgive that though, he's a man on a mission and he's spreading the (mostly) good word and he seems to put stuff out at a prolific rate. Keep on keeping on, ugo! I've noticed your art has improved a bit over the years so keep on climbing that mountain bro!
 
I´m almost sure he uses vectors and tracing because he can´t afford a tablet... not to mention I think he may have to save as much time as possible when doing it.
But when he does it it´s to educate people and tell dick jokes, when other lolcows do it is to draw pregnant Snape or something.
