A trait I've observed among certain people of interest the Farms follows is being raised by Uncle TV. CWC's life is a prominent example of this.

Sweet's TV obsession is far more intense than any CWC has - I haven't heard of CWC using pee bottles to avoid missing a moment of a show, and DTV and TV ratings are the "blue arms" of Sweet's life.

What strikes me is that the media he clings to isn't stuff you'd associate with someone in his range for the most part. It's bizarre.

Sweets is (I think) 2 years younger than me, and (I think) from a similar sort of background, and I have to say that his media references aren't really don't seem that unusual to me--especially if his family had cable TV for a while when he was in his elementary/middle-school years.

From his birth through the late '80s, maybe even the very earliest '90s, over-the-air TV stations were chock full of old TV shows and cartoons whenever they weren't showing the ~4 hours of new programming provided by the network. His antenna was probably also able to pick up at least one independent station whose programming would have been entirely old movies, tv shows, and cartoons. Keep in mind that when I'm talking about "old" here I means stuff largely from the 1950s and '60s.

If he had cable, then Katie bar the door. Small-town cable offerings during the '80s consisted of the local over-the-air channels plus a scant handful of "superstation" type channels like WGN and TBS, whose programming was--again--almost entirely old stuff. The kind of stuff we associate with cable today--MTV, say--was getting off the ground but, even though it's now iconic for the decade, didn't really start popping up on cable providers outside major metro areas until the very late '80s. (My town's sole cable provider was limited to 11 or 12 channels until around 1989.)

Since I think it's a safe bet that Sweets didn't have a lot of childhood friends, he probably spent a lot of time soaking up whatever the TV was teaching him. Since during weekends and long summer days that would have been overwhelmingly media from the '50s and '60s plus cartoons that were often even older, I don't find his cultural references that surprising at all.

I'll say this, though. Between the humorous autistic adventures of the mayor of CWCville and his way past cool Electric Hedgehog Pokemon son and the racist, incoherent ramblings of some stick figure with a cape blaming everything on DEM LIBERALS, why did the less humorous and more annoying of the two have to be the one that's still being written? :(

I would love a Belch Dimension-Sonichu crossover, or even yet, an Apserchu-like take on The Belch Dimension :ween:.

Whoever pointed out the problem with putting a cape on a stick figure was spot-on. Until Sweet explained it, I always just thought the character had a yellow triangle body for some reason.

The Scottish sketch comedy Burnistoun did this, with an increasingly mentally damaged Simon Cowell lookalike as the swearing Glaswegian's singing career progressed. Same joke, funnier because not implying all black people sweat and salivate when a 40 is in the room.

Sweet considers himself and his comic superior to Chris and Sonichu in every way. Then again, Sweetness thinks his comic is up there with the greats of media, it's just da liberals preventing TBD from being the next big cultural phenomenon ya know. Ironically, doing a crossover with the inferior Sonichu would give TBD much needed online exposure.

So I was googling our Sweetian Hero's comic:

I never wanted a picture of a woman with no pelvic bone breastfeeding a dog, but here I am.

And there it is.

Wow, that's actually a somewhat recent reference. I'm impressed.

"Big Ol' Jed and Delilah" -- is it possible nobody told him that the song is called "Big Ol' Jet Airliner"? Do let me have this illusion. It would amuse me, and I need that right now. I like to imagine Big Ol' Jed and Delilah -- after all, Jed is very big, and Delilah likes her men strong -- kidnapping people together, causing Steve Miller (the song was written by Paul Pena, but) to beg them, "Don't carry me too far away."

My feelings can be summed up with this:

As for what you're asking @NobleGreyHorse , yes. The answer is yes, because he's a literal minded person who needs to be told everything since he's real lazy.

There's so much anatomically wrong with that drawing that it's hard to pick just one, but why is the dog chewing the side of her breast and not on a nipple?

Sweetums has never seen a titty IRL and therefore doesn't know where the nipples go.

(Nah, I'm hoping Sweet was just trying to be "funny.")

I think it's more like AJMLurker said: Sweet just happened to see it lying around and was inspired to make a hilarious parody.
