Talent. Yup. The picture of the turd Jon uploaded has a better sense of anatomy and perspective than he does.

Is that Mr. T?

Also, for fuck's sake, Sweets, my Nana has a cell phone, an iPad and a Kindle. Her previous computer was fucking ancient and she figured out how to use all three of those new devices really quick, without that much help. She's going to be 70 this year. My Papa is subscribed to Netflix and Hulu. He figured out how to use them completely on his own. He's already in his 70's.

My grandparents are more technologically literate than a man pushing 40.
 
Your grandparents have never known the bitter sting of being thrown out of a university for plagiarizing and being a creeper. It's not the same circumstances!

That is true. They are good people and would never think to pee in bottles and prop them up on the windowsill like fucking animals.

You know actually I did this once? The whole peeing in a bottle thing? Yeah, when I was laid up from surgery and couldn't walk. I was disgusted by it, to be honest, because, I mean, just everything about it. Now I just, you know, go to the bathroom before I do something? Really not a hard concept.

This is the best description of his hideous scrawl I've seen yet.

Also, the dog in the center panel of the most recent page he posted looks like it has a large and unfortunate boner.
 
I can't get over how his comicself just looks like a disgruntled grown-up Arthur.
.. In a poncho of all things.

Literally could not figure out what was going on in half of that comic. I saw that Self Insert Sweet was getting tied up by his Naitsirhc in the top left, and in the middle was a party scene with some ALFichus and Trademark Stick Figures. I really had no idea what the other three corners were depicting, even after deciphering Sweet's handwriting - which looks like the result of a family of spiders dipping themselves in ink and then making a Harlem Shake video.

I was barely able to figure it out; it's alternating scenes of the self insert fighting off the gang that tied him up and his waifu talking to his mom-insert at the party. Apparently Jon Sweet fancies himself as a super hero. Notice that he was trying to be clever by depicting his self insert as spinning each member of the Inept Clown Posse by their feet with the dialog "You're son has gone 'round and 'round with some pretty damaged girls!" I think he might have also been referencing the Dead or Alive song.

Who is Sweet's target demographic for this? All of his cultural references - Baby, It's Cold Outside, the Adam West era Batman narration, ALFichu - are too dated to appeal to a young audience. His fellow Limbaugh listeners tend to be in their 60s or older, and probably aren't great comic-buyers despite being the only group who won't be put off by the political tubthumping and racism. Who does that leave?

Racist people in their forties.

Earlier in this thread, it was said that Sweet does the bottle thing because he apparently really likes watching TV, and he posted that he doesn't want to have to get up and go to the toilet while doing that, so...

Yeah that's exactly what I mean, he's got to be the laziest dude in existence if he doesn't have some sort of medical reason behind his inability to miss 30-60 seconds of television. I don't even watch TV so I suppose I'm biased in that regard. :)

Do you think he pours out the bottle into the toilet/bathtub and reuses it later?

Has anyone told Iconoclast about USB CD burners yet?

Has anyone ever told him that since the mid 2000's that the average lifespan of a store bought CD is typically only five years? How much of his crap do you suppose is gone forever because of his shitty, inefficient data storage system?

I think we know the answer to that.
But yeah, CD-Rs and CD-RWs use a dye (that the laser in the optical drive can alter) to store stuff, and the data stored via this dye apparently decays rapidly. Commercially burned disks and "M-discs" last a lot longer though because they don't use that dye method. Ironically, data on older magnetic media can last decades before significant decay sets in. Data in flash memory (like USB drives) may last a decade or longer (I don't really know how long though).

So? My Granny is 73, reads on a 6th grade level, and only ever finished Secondary. She still knows how to use Facebook and use her Smartphone. Sweets is just functionally incapable.
 
So this is a thing.

I don't know enough about external drives to figure out where to find the best one for my needs. Therefore, I sent my question to the local Computer Depot. Hopefully they'll help me sort it out. It may be something as simple as buying an upload cable, and I won't have to bring my computer into the shop.

StickJon gets wrapped up, his arms bound to his sides, right? Then, when the mardi-gras jester or whatever the hell it is approaches him, StickJon punches through the side of his bindings, with plenty of room for him to extend his arm. In addition, the bindings still curve as if they're wrapped around something - which would be his arm. Also, if the bindings were so tight that he couldn't unwrap them on his own, how could he maneuver his arm enough to burst through with his hand, let alone work up enough force?

Why, when he tosses the cross-dressing mime into the potato-head guy, is his horribly-drawn hand now attached to a full arm, as opposed to the stick it was before?

And why are there a bunch of ALFs standing around?

  • Yes, his arms were held to one side. However, by vibrating his hand at super-speed underneath the strips of party favor, he was able to loosen his bindings just enough to find a weak spot. When one of the goons-- Harley-- got close enough, he burst his hand through, splitting the paper cocoon, and grabbed her. Yeesh, I didn't think anyone would analyze a comic book so closely. Just enjoy it.
  • His coat sleeve rolled up when he extended his arm to snag Harley's collar. It fell back down when he broke free and started spinning her around.
  • You don't throw a huge party and not invite your alien friends. That's rudeness on an intergalactic level.

Is that Mr. T?

Good eye. It's a character based on Mr. T-- specifically, a nod to the design from the old Ruby-Spears cartoon. T's got a good sense of humor. He can laugh at himself.

Can't even begin to do that until you make the comic actually readable old boy.

Not sure if laziness or embarrassment over half-past-'97 equipment.
