When you think about it, Sweets' entire twenty year "crusade" and exile from college was entirely self imposed; all he had to do was undergo psychological evaluation. He was poo' enough to go into Medicaid to pay for it for him. He had no excuse.

What a joke.
 
I'm not sure if this has been raised before-- this is an image from Sweet's DeviantArt titled "Lawsuit Waiting to Happen."

Wow. This really puts into perspective just how terrible of an artist Sweets really is.

He does draw these on paper, correct? It looks like he did it straight in MS paint. Why are those shoulder-pad-things elevated up to his cheeks? Why does the cat look like it needs to take a piss? Why is it standing on its hind legs? Why does it have a hole through its ear? Why does it appear to be unscrewing the peg leg as opposed to scratching it? Why does it appear worried, like it knows it needs to hurry? Why does the guy have brown teeth? Why are his arms curved to match his chest? Why are his legs so short?

Based on what I've read and seen of stuff Sweet posts, I think I've figured out how he makes Belch Dimension in color:

The way Sweet makes color comics is that he'll draw on paper in pen or pencil and scan it into digital. The scanned image is then converted to 1-bit monochrome (only black or white pixels) from shades of grey - this causes a loss in quality. Sweet then uses MSPaint in color to fill in the jagged, messy outlines that result from this conversion to 1-bit monochrome (possibly after saving the 1-bit monochrome image to *.JPG, which results in compression artifacts around the outlines that screw up the paint bucket tool). But remember, to Sweet, MSPaint works "just fine."

Of course, if Sweet drew legibly before scanning, it could look arguably clear even after this nonstandard conversion and coloring process - but as we've seen from scans of comics Sweet draws without any other digital conversion, the comics are pretty much nigh illegible even then.

Sweet probably thinks that a lack of ability to read the comics is from a lack of intelligence (and since he claims conservatives love Belch Dimension, it supports the worldview wherein progressives are supposedly stupid), while in reality, the reasons people have a hard time reading the comics have been explained time and time again.

In the signature of Sweet over on AJM, there's this line from a Dylan song that can sound very creepy depending on the context:
Don't Think Twice by Bob Dylan - as quoted in the signature of Sweet said:
I once loved a woman--a child I am told; I'd give her my heart, but she wanted my soul.

So, four years after he was expelled, Mr. Sweet's campaign of terror resulted in Arkansas State University sending police officers to "his" house. For those who are wondering, in many states, university police officers hold statewide commissions and are free to execute their duties anywhere within the state, including arresting someone living hundreds of miles from the campus as long as they have a warrant. (Since Mr. Sweet continues to stalk his victims and -- see below -- provide the public with their phone numbers and addresses, let's see how he likes the same treatment. I can just picture Belchy sprawled out in that broken-ass blue velvet recliner [Blue Velvet Recliner!] on the front porch, passing flatus and eructing until the neighbors call the cops. I hope Belchy's mom is setting aside some of his tugboat money for a new roof. Thinking of what this poor woman has endured saddens me greatly.)

He mentioned a broken recliner that looks like the one there once in an AJM post. And, it appears at least one front window is covered up with paper.
 
It looks like the kid who used to hang around the small-engine repair shop gets what he had coming in one of Mr. Sweet's pieces of revenge-fantasy fiction:

" I pulled my revolver and shot Roger in the chest. He fell dead. His momma screamed and cursed me. Funny damn thing--I don't regret it, not even if he was just a thirteen-year-old mulatter boy."

Truly disturbing.
 
If you went by his writing, you could easily mistake Sweets for a barely literate, racist 90-year-old.

I'm getting a "this page cannot load because of a temporary error" message when I try to look at Sweetums' gleeful celebration of a woman's death. Wonder if it's his webhost being robust, or if shit hit the fan.

Pretty sure he vaped it. The rest of the site is operational, and there was nothing on that page that would cause this kind of error. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but since his site doesn't display dynamic content in any real fashion I think he made that page himself.

Remember, this is the guy who expressed disgust and horror at the notion of defending his mother in a mugging by either assaulting the gang with power tools or hitting them with a car.

This is also the same guy who tried to beat his brother to death with a lead pipe.

What a nice person.

Yeah, the page title has changed to "Hmm... Let's try that again," which sounds like something Mr. Sweet would write as he considers what the reaction to his original post will be in the offices of ASU administrators. Or maybe someone has started sending him death threats and he doesn't find it quite as pleasant on the receiving end.
 
I tried mucking around with the address to that page, and I get the same "Oops!" page every time, so as amusing as the thought is, I don't think Belchy made it himself. I'd suspect that either he didn't like the guestbook messages he was getting in response to his shameless display of sociopathy, or somebody advised him that it would be in his best interests to remove the entry.
 
God, this guy is such a fucking asshole. He has literally no redeemable qualities. I'm sorry, I have to get that off my chest after this whole petty "not by me, she won't." incident. Utterly disgusting, disrespectful, spiteful little shit.
