Maybe he meant boom roasted from The Office?

Or he was trying to copy that tom Arnold voiced oven mitt from the Arbys commercials of 2003,2004?

It's probably the latter. The office is something that would make his eyes glaze over. It's not a children's show, and it's not something from Adult Swim or Fox.
 
Has anyone made a Francis E Dec comparison?

Because every time I see Sweet's writings or his comic, I think of Dec.

Dec was a paranoid schizophrenic.

Sweet is just a retarded asshole.

About the only thing they have in common is the near random capitalization thing.

Did he seriously try to put some "serious" discussion in his comic? Like homie, there are hospitals in comics for plot convenience. Shit is fictional. Like his Ashleigh relationship it's as fake as pro wrestling.

So we have a 40-year-old simpleton attempting to analyse whether there is too much violence in Road Runner cartoons. Sounds like something the hated libruls would do before slapping some kind of adults-only rating (Oh noes! Ratings!) on these festivals of gore.

While he's in a philosophical mood, here are some more pressing questions he could address:

(1) Is 20 years too long to engage in criminal activity over a demented grudge that began as an escalating series of sociopathic responses to being kicked off the staff of a school paper in rural Arkansas? 30 years? 40 years?

(2) Is 20 years too long to stalk a kid who was in high school when you saw her once -- and very briefly -- while you were in college? (Factor into your answer the high probability that having sex with the high school kid would have resulted in prison time.)

(3) Why does someone who is concerned about the injuries suffered by cartoon characters think it's OK to threaten to kidnap, torture and decapitate actual human beings? Why is Wile E. Coyote's life of more concern than that of your own brother?

It is interesting that part of cow-pathology is caring more about what happens to fictional characters that, canonically, can't even die or suffer any lasting injury. No matter how many times that coyote gets squashed, he's back as good as new for the next scheme....

I wonder if Sweet is concerned about Mr. Coyote's well-being because he identifies with the hapless canid. I wonder this because Sweet seems to follow two of the main rules that Chuck Jones set down to govern the cartoons featuring Mr. Coyote and Mr. Runner.

rules1-e1425628676963.jpg

Specifically:

Rule No. 2: No outside force can harm the coyote -- only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme Products post-1997 technology.

Rule No. 3: The coyote could stop anytime -- if he were not a fanatic. (Repeat: "A fanatic is one who redoubles his efforts when he has forgotten his aims." -- George Santayana)

Sweet gets a big check for Rule No. 2 and an even bigger one for Rule No. 3 because he has forgotten that his goal is to be readmitted to ASU, from which he was expelled for reasons over which the people he is harassing have no control. The former staffers at The Herald cannot readmit Sweet to the university, nor can they provide expert testimony to the effect that Sweet no longer suffers from the mental problems that caused him to be expelled. They can, however, testify that Sweet has stalked, harassed and threatened them for almost 20 years, which takes us back to Rule No. 2: No outside force has harmed Sweet, but his tactics have damaged his case for readmission -- i.e., demonstrating that he is no longer clinically insane -- beyond repair.

Sadly, Sweet/Coyote seems determined to follow Rules No. 2 and 3 to the grave. Chuck Jones would be proud.
 
Sweet acts like a stereotypical Saturday morning cartoon villain loveable rascal who lives in a dark lair, hatching grandiose schemes to take over the world ASU, get revenge, and make the world the way they want. But they keep failing at doing so. Sometimes foiled by the hero (in this case, certain police of Arkansas).

Although said cartoon characters usually put forth more effort into carrying out schemes, and have henchmen assistant(s).

He's like an unlikable, less talented Strong Bad.

While browsing Sweet's DeviantArt, I noticed he was watching AJMStudios and occasionally commenting on them. I bet that'd be a gold mine of content for anyone willing to take a look.

You should go back in this thread and read the AJM Studios saga. Sweet took his battle with the Kiwi Farms to AJM Studios and caused that site to shut down rather than deal with him and his issues. There are links to some archived pages from AJM that are indeed pure gold. There are now a couple of Kiwis who were former AJMers.

I think the first mention of AJM in this thread was posted by @RetardBus:

Guess who appears to have a Youtube acount? It seems relatively inactive and mostly just has a bunch of playlists, but I did find a few things on it. He has only two videos uploaded, one of which is some old commercial for what appears to be canned salmon where a guy beats up a bear, and the next video, which is more bizarre, and provides a little more insight into Iconoclast's past.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=M9sG9tCFklQOkay, so from what I could understand, it's some crappy animation from 2005 made in MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker, where some guy (an old "friend" from his journalism days, according to the description. Probably a troll or just someone who didn't want to listen to his crazy political rants.) gets beat up, struck by lightning, turns into a black guy, and then gets crushed by a safe and dies.

According to the Iconoclast himself in the comments, the part where he turns into a black man is supposed to be a "blackface gag" reminiscent of a vintage cartoon, but even then it still doesn't make any sense and in my opinion he's copying the worst aspect of classic cartoons. Anyways, on his Youtube channel I also found a link to that weird forum he kept claiming loved his crappy comic.

Already just judging from the URL, I think this is either a strange political propaganda forum where everyone whines about the DANG DIRTY LIBERALS, or it's some forum created by the Iconoclast where he makes a bunch of sock accounts praising his own comic and agreeing with his own long-winded political horseshit. I haven't really browsed through the forum to see what's up with it yet, so make of it what you will. I'm going to try searching "HaggisMcCrablice" or any of his other known screen names into Google and other sites to see what else I can find.

EDIT: I searched "Belch Dimension Comics" into Google and found a few interesting results. It appears the Iconoclast has had a history with Something Awful, as this article from 2006 shows.

He smugly claimed he enjoyed any publicity on a few different forums. One is a forum for comics that clearly did not give a shit, one was a broken link to this forum known as "ThreeStooges.net" which I couldn't see the results of because I just got redirected to the index of another forum.

One of the more interesting results I found was a thread from that weird AJM studios forum where he seems to be doing the same thing he did on the other forum, except on AJM studios he just got a bunch of asskissers who blindly agreed with him and praised his comics without a question.

The only guess I can make is that again, it's a weird political propaganda forum that serves as a hugbox for the Iconoclast, or it's just a bunch of sockpuppet accounts he's using to praise himself.

EDIT again: It appears the Iconoclast was once active in the Daria fandom in the late 90's, and he apparently caused some drama and wrote a terrible fanfic that was extremely racist. I keep unearthing more crazy shit the more I enter one of this guy's pseudonym's/known handles into search engines.

Ah, sorry, bad phrasing on my part. What I meant was that someone should take a look at AJMStudios DeviantArt page and see if they can find any classic Sweet comments. I thought I noticed one where he autistically asks someone with a female icon to describe farting in front of another person but I can't seem to track it down now.

His DeviantArt comments must be a gold mine and it seems he still comments pretty regularly.
 
I know I'm a bit late on this topic, folks, but I feel the need to unburden myself of a Sweet memory. As far Sweet making otherwise good food sound disgusting, I remember reading some old AJM posts of his where he discussed in detail how he left "old wrapping paper and leftovers" strewn about the living room floor after Christmas. But what literally made me gag was when he wrote that after he scarfed down turkey on Thanksgiving, he would end up making a
"turkey smoothie"
on the toilet. I legitimately believe that he enjoys the food going out at least as much as when it goes in.

I am now ready to do whatever is necessary to acquire the desperately needed "horrifying" emoji.

I only clicked "Informative" for lack of the horrifying or puke button.

Where exactly does he get the idea that people want to read that? Where is the encouragement coming from, other than his head?

Edit: This stuck in my head the first time, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what bothered me about it until now:

"I remember reading some old AJM posts of his where he discussed in detail how he left "old wrapping paper and leftovers"

What ... what in the hell?!

I mean - How exactly do they feed him? Do they just fill up a trough with slops and let him go to town? Are 21st century eating habits too much for him to handle? Cripes!
