If you feel bad for him, remember he's 38, lives at home and gets a :tugboat:. There is nothing stopping him from doing yardwork or routine household maintenance.

Sweets, you don't have a job! Get off your lazy ass and take care of that yard!
Use some of that :tugboat: and hire a contractor to take of your house. I don't care about your health, but your poor, elderly mother doesn't deserve to live in that shithole and you're putting her life at risk.

Sweets is a shitty shitty person but some of the blame for the house's state rests with his mother. If I'm remembering correctly she has control of John's finances because he's too retarded to handle them himself. Why doesn't she call a contractor?

Won't even bother to address "talk to a few nice girls", it's ludicrous on its face. What, is the school gonna round up some students and be like "Hey, ladies, we need you to chat with this middle-aged mental defective, you have to do it"? LOL

Jon has said earlier that he believes the "Townie" girls are "unpaid prostitutes" for the ASU students.
 
So just to recap: Sweet Bro lives in a dump, is reclusive, is obsessed with an internalized fantasy, and is the creator of a huge body of work that nobody so far is interested in.

This shit is how House of Leaves started.
 
I would compare him to Henry Darger, but Darger had a job, a friend, and fairly decent artistic abilities.

Darger wasn't a total shithead to others, too. By all accounts he kept to himself and never harassed people from his past for completely imaginary transgressions.

Darger also got published posthumously and is considered to be one of the most famous outsider artists.

While we silently count down the 20 hours until Sweet Bro's current Friday deadline, here's an unexpected present from our hero's dA - eight new photos and pictures!

I've embedded them below the spoiler tag. Brief observations:
* Sweet Bro's camera is seriously low-resolution, compounded by a dirty lens, and probably by some inept post-processing. If I had to guess I'd reckon that Sweet has finally got hold of a first-generation cameraphone. It certainly reminds me of the quality of photos I was taking with my phone circa 2006.
* Sweet proudly points out that his computer runs the "aging but still serviceable Win 98 OS" :story:. I would dearly love to know how many viruses that thing now has. Also, perhaps having to do his "shooping" on a 20th-Century PC explains the ridiculously low resolution of his photos. Maybe he has to convert to the smallest, lossiest of JPEG formats before he can even load a photo into memory?
* "Mooch in repose" (first pic below) features a chilling cameo from an extradimensional alien who trolls Sweet for his own cosmic amusement.
* DAT CEILING. Seriously, if Sweet Bro's :tugboat: is actually for laryngitis and not autism, and he sleeps under that mould resort...I actually feel sorry for the guy. Maybe if he didn't live in a tarpaper shack his lungs would clear up - and if the house actually had working ceiling lights and windows that weren't boarded up, perhaps his eyesight wouldn't be so bad, either.

That shit is mad disgusting. I can't imagine all the health problems that family has breathing that shit in.

This looks like a good 'un. I haven't scrolled down yet and already Sweet Bro has:
* Ranted about TV ratings.
* Revealed that he was shocked when college was nothing like the picture he'd built up from TV shows
* Announced that he was ripping off some material from elsewhere
* Used the words "dubious ethnicity".

I do like some classic Sweet.

No mention of the Kiwis in the post. Sweet should try hanging with the incel crowd, they seem to share his delusions about life being just like on TV. The bit that squicked me out the most was the part about "...mix a two-liter bottle of Hawaiian Punch and vodka with a wild townie girl and turn any boring study party into a mini-rave. And the beauty of it is, the party doesn't need to end even after she passes out completely 'faced on the hall carpet." Way to make your date-rape fantasies explicit, Sweet.
 
When he's speculating about what would happen to Saved by the Bell characters if college was "realistic", here's one of his imaginary scenarios:
They finally sent to a counselor who diagnoses him with Asperger's, and he spends the next year pretty much zonked out on the pills they put him on to treat it, which lower his creative drive greatly and give him the man-mammaries.

I'm going out on a limb here: this is drawn from Sweet's own experience. He's got the Asperger's, and that's what his tugboat is for. That laryngitis story is probably true, because he sleeps in the Hotel Penicillin, but the real reason he got put on a tug in his mid-20s is Asperger's Syndrome.

I think Sweet's referring to an incident he saw in the dorms in real life, illustrated below, but of course, this guy's mind is about as sensible as a glass of cheese, so grain of salt, of course.

Plus, he finally explained the poop stains on his comics:

For those who wonder, those brown stains on the paper are stray pencil smudges and residual glue boogers from pasting bits of "patch paper" over mistakes and errant pen lines. They get carefully edited out during the inking process.

Or a quiet, unassuming business major of dubious ethnicity. Mine has a Spanish-sounding name, but looked like he may have been Filipino or even Chinese

As someone into history and geopolitics, this immediately stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Of course Sweets would be completely oblivious to the fact that the Philippines were a Spanish colony for a good few centuries.

For someone who tries to act like he "gets it" all the time in his online rantings, Sweets really doesn't get, well, anything.

Keep in mind, though, that it's not his fault. After all, nobody told him ---- !
 
For some reason, that bit about not knowing the Philippines was a Spanish colony is just too much for me to handle. My autism is triggered. I cannot comprehend how anyone who went to college to be a goddamned journalist could not know this.

Speaking of classic Sweet:

"Del has been captured by the mad Dr. Van Hertzog, the food preservative genius, and upon coming to, finds herself in a darkened basement."

Another kidnapped woman. Another basement.
