If you don't understand this, then you don't understand HS very well. “SBaHJ is absolutely inseparable from HS, and has been almost from the start. In some cases, the persistent repetition of low-quality graphical artifacts approaches abstract expressionism in its effect. Artistically, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff takes influence from a wide variety of compositional precedents, including pop art, absurdist fiction, and surrealism its frequent non-sequiturs (both visual and textual) recall Dadaism, and the use of jpeg trashloss textures echoes both junk art and bricolage. According to Hussie, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is 'a universally constant product of 's unconscious', since it still exists in the post-scratch civilization, but it was brought to light by Terezi in her first conversation with Dave. Dave originally made a comic named Cool Dude and Stoner Lou, but felt the style to be too close to his brother's. On occasion, Dave ironically mentions the pressures of being the creator of such a brilliant website, perhaps a consequence of his ever-constant battle to be more archly ironic than his Bro. The frequent allusions to SBaHJ, present in spades throughout the comic, compose some of the principal ongoing gags of Homestuck. Even John's Echeladder has a few rungs with SBaHJ references ('You Are the Star', 'It's You' and 'Unreal Heir').

It appears on the Dream Bubble book here. It has also been referenced in Dave's, Roxy's, Jade's, Rose's, John's, the Wayward Vagabond's, Spades Slick's, Diamonds Droog's, and the Uber Bunny's actions. The comic is read by John, Rose, and Jade, and sometimes comes up in conversation (such as in Rose and Dave's pesterchum conversations, using an ironically cooler and more intelligent word for HAPEN). The comic itself is maintained and updated ironically (thus the obviously shoddy layout and art style, the purposefully absurd compression artifacts, and the haphazard spellings that look like a drunkard typed them), with the general premise and character archetypes being a tangible dig at existing webcomics ( 1, 2). The first character, 'Sweet Bro,' is the bearded and strangely unfortunate straight man of the duo, with 'Hella Jeff' acting as the foil. (But only ironically.) It involves the adventures of two guys living in the same house who speak in much the same way as Dave, but with worse spelling. It is unmatched by any other webcomics that have existed or will exist. It is quite possibly, no, surely the greatest, deepest, most inspiring webcomic ever. It also exists on the real-world web here. Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is a webcomic in the world of Homestuck written by Dave Strider.
