Oh. Oh, I see you have not actually READ the comics in question. He has not improved in SO many ways.

I like how Scott thinks there must be a man showing camgirls how to make hypnosis porns and it’s utterly impossible that they could have learned all his secret mind tricks off wikipedia and youtube relaxation videos.

How many days has Scott spent gooning in the dilbert-head, strapped down, dressed like a ballerina, barking like a dog?…. for research purposes.

He has not improved. He just puts more detail into his bad drawings and uses fancier brushes. He still hasn't actually learned the fundamentals of drawing

I still think everyone should force him to change his name so no one accidentally mistakenly thinks Adam Scott is the crazy rear end in a top hat who wrote dilbert.

We should also protect the reputation of the true Scott Adams, of text adventure game fame

Mookie traces from porn. Among other things, when women are in danger in his comic he draws them with bigger busts, and they die rear end-up.

Mixing up these two is just impressively Old Online New England.

Mookie MCs some events for a con I work for, he seems like a fairly decent dude, but I never read Dominic Deegan (I was a Megatokyo kid) so I can't say anything about how his comic reflects anything deeper.

lol long buried memories surfacing of people on sa writing long explainer threads about why Dominic deegan was a bad comic where rape was justified and used as a plot device in the clunkiest, most tasteless of ways

I do not have it in me to find out what has happened in the 10-15 years since I hope I last paid attention to his comic

I'm sorry but who are the two terrible webcomics authors in the last couple pages? The non Dilbert ones mentioned, I've gathered they are not good artists and may also be bad people. I was planning on looking at some good art later today so a little bit of bad in the morning to give me perspective on the good this afternoon.

If you're feeling especially masochistic, check out Brooke McEldowny. His comic 9 chickweed lane was so bad it was banned from multiple threads. Written by an old white man, it was dropped from newspapers a bit over a year ago because it used slurs. But it also had multiple storylines about Nazis being sexy, a gay conversion storyline, pre-teens who were retconned into always being horny for each other. It's a hot mess.

Yeah I used to think Global Warming was fake too but I was 20 and had just read Crichton's State of Fear.

has Dweebert ever talked about Michael Crichton? Both have that powerful 'I Know better than everybody else' energy, they'd have gotten along swimmingly


VVVVVV Right? It was especially weird with Crichton because the dude made a name for himself for being 'science-based' and then you grow up and realize, no, it's just a veneer of bad science around his stuff.

State of Fear was the book that made me very aware of writers using their fiction to push an agenda. It kinda ruined fiction for me :(

He gives me the vibes of that kid in highschool who discovered 4Chan than and suddenly every third thing they say is trying to troll someone or being stupid and then saying nah just trolling bro. Its the same as when right wing talking heads with the "just asking questions" when they are clearly leading.

He wants people to debate him because in doing so his idiocy becomes a talking point in the discussion as he gets interviews with whatever garbage he does interviews with. Global warming or fling poop everywhere while smashing your face into a rock? There's no telling whose right so we'll just have to find some place in the middle.
