There's another string of comments on his profile that genuinely baffles me. He rails against The Trolls in this comic, but he sounds just like them here: http://comments.deviantart.com/4/11507634/2419872808

Not to mention the constant string of fags and retards and 'ur so gay's in his videos. Who's the true troll? Is it him! Is it them! Is it us! Is it ME!? :ohdear:

I just don't know what to think anymore. :psyduck:

Other than he's an awfully strange and stunted kid.

There's no way this guy is 20, I thought everybody stopped writing angry fanfiction when they were like 13. :psyduck:

^^ Ahahaha. Badassery knows no bounds. Smoking cigarettes backwards is akin to wearing your hat backwards. Get with the times.

Holy poo poo that kid must have played a lot of online games and annoyed quit a number of older gamers to have this understanding of trolling. That or he played some poo poo game where it's more prevalent than others. Trolling is and art and this kid doesn't quit get how it's done - instead of being trolled he's just being straight up insulted. That being said I can't hate too much because out of such anger and disappointment he made this glorious ms-paint comic that made me laugh and cringe so much that I'll never forget. Just to drive the point home:

That's gotta be my favorite picture from the whole comic. It seems he poured his heart and soul into that one because it's animated 100x better than any of the frames on adjacent pages.

So it makes me wonder what made this kid make a comic than what I did when we were younger which is learn to roll with the punches and insult right back. I'll admit I've been out of touch with it for quite some time, but I recall in online games that you insult people by cutting right to the heart when lashing out. It'd pretty much escalate the situation 100% of the time, but you'd feel better knowing you tried to defend yourself than taking it like a bitch then making a whiney comic about it.

Cockblocktopus: Apr 18, 2009; Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun.

This comic is too good to bog dog with :words:

, but I almost feel like each chapter is less disturbing than the one before. What started out as a pretty unsettling window into somebody deciding that stone cold mass murder was the only answer to bullying degenerated into Shadow the Hedgehog murdering some gay rabbit and his gay loving duck friend before completely breaking down into father Troll and son Trollface having their goons pull out Vector's eyeball and decapitate Sonic in over-the-top ways.

Of course, it's all been downhill from *high shovels*...

It never actually says who his girlfriend is either, does it. It would be pitch perfect if we're all assuming it's Amy Rose, and then she turns out to be someone madly unexpected and unrelated. Like Smurfette or Sailor Moon or something.

Although there's no doubt he needs help (and drawing lessons) either way, I was relieved to hear he was 20 and plays online games. This means he isn't some tortured high school kid using an aborted remake of Cartoon All-Stars to cope with bullies; just a 20 year old getting mad at faceless online trolls.

I even made fun of that picture earlier and I didn't notice. Having accidentally lit the filter of a cigarette before, I just have to say: that dude is a badass.

Minimal. This is just what we get because kids have been subjected to a bunch of grimdark in their entertainment recently. It's even crept into god awful fanfic territory as well.

It's been said before, but there is no way that this person is 20. I'd guess he's 14 or so.

He could be autistic. Wouldn't be the first time somebody over 20 has created a poo poo comic.

What gives him away is the way he has Sonic talking about His Girlfriend. Even the loneliest loser of a 20 year old knows how to play off their absolute lack of understanding about the topic better. You're right that he could be 20 and autistic, though. If he is, he's the new king of autism. Or emperor maybe.

That's depressingly not weird. If he had no friends, there'd be no good guys for him to draw on.

I'd be up for voicing. Ideally someone would turn all the comic panels into Dr. Katz-like squigglevision animations, but just the panels with some background music would probably work too.
