I kind of feel sorry for the goober. I've been there myself (lots of people neglect to back up files, and computers crash at usually the worst moments). But then again I'm sure he'll find some way to blame this on Obama or ASU or someone other than himself.

I can't. Not just because his comic is crap, but how he overrates it like he does with everything relating to himself. As fucked as it is, anything that prevents Sweet from spamming the internet with his comic is gonna get a thumbs up from me.

Look, I'm a media sperg like Sweet. I love film, TV, comics, etc. I can easily get adsorbed into some show and end up blowing off important priorities. Because of this, I tend to respect people who are passionate about creating and sharing their own work.

But Sweet's comic is a complete joke. I feel sorry for him because his brain is incapable of making the connection why his work is such shit. It further proves how Sweet is still mentally a child (that has crippling autism). He has had the last 20 years to improve himself, yet hasn't done shit because he can't understand other people and how to make his work appealing to them. His comic is written for himself and Sweet, buddy, nobody fucking thinks or acts like you. You're alone for a reason.

The comic also further proves how Sweet will take shit without permission (further reinforcing that Sweet did indeed watch and plagiarize the SNL skit, but was too stupid to know he was doing something wrong). What gets me most about his comic is how he features characters based on real life people, using their real names and everything, without their permission. Yep, I've actually done some research into The Belch Dimension. Three of Jonichu's sidekicks are real people, two of them represent his brothers and the other guy is based on some childhood friend he had. The kicker is that Jonny boy probably hasn't had contact with this childhood friend since middle school. The ED article in the OP claims that Sweet works on the comic with his brother (which is something I believed back in my AJM days), but we now know that is bullshit. His comic is a solo creation and Sweet uses his "clever wordplay" to convince random internet strangers that his shit is actually relevant and he has a team behind him.

It's sad that someone so devoted to making comics is incapable of actually improving his shit over time. All he does is throw a tantrum if you criticize his work.

This includes the brother he hates, though, right? Isn't he represented as a baby in the comic or something? I wonder if Sweet uses the comic to remember fonder times when they got along.

Interesting, I must have glossed over that. What's the basis behind that claim? Did the ED author misconstrue Sweet's use of anagrams of his name for other credits on the comic?

I believe so. I'll have to check "Belchpedia"* or whatever, but I think the stick figure with his tongue hanging out represents the brother who got into drugs.

*"Belchpedia" is Sweet's Scratchpad Wikia he made for his comic.

From what I can tell, Sweet is an idiot savant when it comes to writing. Because of this ability, Sweet is able to convince people that he's more important and intelligent than he actually is. Seriously, until I started reading this thread and Sweet's replies to it, I did not realize he was as pathetic as he actually is.

It has been said before, but nobody would realize Sweet is an autistic retard with no grasp of social skills if it wasn't for him powerleveling his ass off. Lolcows truly do feed the farms and at no cost.
 
Sorry to double post, but this will interest my fellow Sweetorians. For those of us who have been following the Sweet Chronicles, you will remember the "Japanese" character named Tin Boo Tee in his comic.

I was saying above about how Sweets steals the names and identities of real life people for his comic characters. Well, check this out: http://asunews.astate.edu/BG~100yrsandMagicEye09.htm
The Fine Arts Center Gallery will host “Magic Eye: Photographs by Tin Boo Yee.” Born in Canton, China, Yee moved to Wynne, Ark., with his family when he was 11. He attended Arkansas State College from 1935 through 1938 and received a degree in chemistry with a minor in engineering and physics. Even with that heavy course load, he was able to graduate in three years and serve as the class photographer. Yee went on to receive masters’ degrees from the University of Arkansas and the University of Illinois, where he also earned a Ph.D. Yee spent his professional career doing classified military research at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. He died in 2001.

From this information, we can make the following assumptions. Sweet, without permission, used the name of a past successful ASU student to make a character for his comic. Sweet, being completely ignorant, made this person Japanese despite the name being obviously Chinese. Not only that, but he used the name of this person for a childish butt pun that only a grade schooler would find funny. Wow.

I do too a little bit. Yes, he's hurt people, but he's a product of his upbringing. I've said it before, but he is right about one thing. The system DID fail him, but not in the way he thinks. His disorders should have been identified and treated in childhood, long before he got to college. I doubt his family was very supportive of this odd duck in their midst, and that would have further repercussions on his personality. All in all, he got royally fucked (or just ignored) by people who should have helped him, and for that, I do have a small measure of sympathy. Not much though. I know people who were brutally, horribly abused physically and sexually and they didn't turn into backwoods-dwelling misanthropes holding onto 20 year old grudges.

Remember when Sweet referred to East asian cultures as "Asian culture" (as if there's only one), and that he believes the American myth that Asian women are all quiet and submissive?

(I remember that from some interview on AJM. Maybe @AJMLurker can confirm.)

Learning otherwise would require him to actually speak to people normally, and be open to having his beliefs changed when acquiring facts that contradict them. There is a greater chance of me having a threesome with Jennifer Lawerence and Margot Robbie than Sweet changing his mind about something.

All those Belch Dimension characters based on people IRL makes that disclaimer even more BS.

the disclaimer as first quoted back on page 410 of this thread said:
No similarity between any of the [...] characters [...] in this magazine [...] is intented, and any such similarity that may exist is purely coincidental.

The thing is though, he's gotten repetitive. His situation hasn't changed. He is incapable of change himself, so the only way something new will occur is if he is acted upon by an outside force, like say, his mom kicking him out.

The sad thing is we would never know. He has no friends, his family cannot stand him and would probably not take him in, and since he's awful at figuring things out for himself, it would probably never occur to him to go to the library and use their internet. I know he lives in rural Arkansas, but even small-town libraries try to have internet these days.

"Okay, I'm here at the library. Now what? What is that? A book? What do they do? How does this cover work? Am I supposed to lift this all by myself? Pffft."

Oh, by the way, hi everybody!
