solitary tweets that effortlessly summarize the spirt of twitter

joke twitter/weird twitter crossover comix, digging these

http://twitterthecomic.tumblr.com/

i like the tweets but the art is awwwwfulll

none of these are nearly as funny when drawn. its not the jokes, i guess, but the tweet construction itself, fitting stuff in that small amount of characters, brevity and evocativeness, etc., that makes them really work.

really underlines the weird twitter is like poetry argument.

i think they'd be funny if the art was better

nah, the art is really nice, and fairly twitter-style even.

but this is really how twitter-jokes should translate to comic form: http://wolfpuppy.net/comic/1.html

(all of them i mean, not that one in particular)

it warms my heart to imagine ppl on different continents appreciating this

is that andrew cuomo?

idk i just think the art style is just visually unpleasant and makes me not want to look at it?

i'm with you

finally some twitter shit i can get into

has nothing to do with the art, literal representations of jokes are never, ever funny

I think it does - I could see most Perry Bible Fellowship comics working as tweets but obviously the art really helps there

the best parts of some of these tweets are entirely in the phrasing and the description.

i'm not racist, but, *cranes neck to see if anyone's around. keeps craning. head unscrews entirely. out of the hole pour jewels & mysteries*

this is almost entirely a verbal joke. it's a verbal joke about an image, but the verbal turn is what gives it the action, or actually the multiple verbal turns, in the shift from direct address to action, and then the shift from craning to unscrewing, etc. the way it builds up the gag is all about how those few words are chosen. and how does one draw a "mystery" anyway?

they're in large part jokes about how we communicate in txts and on twitter. just like a hueg part of pbf strips are jokes about genres of comic and representational art, not the raw punchlines themselves.

okay stop

i guess you'd have to cite examples but to me the art part of PBF is a great element of the overall presentation but not really integral to the joke.

meanwhile I think most UtilityLimb tweets are unfuckable for those reasons, but some of those comics seem like they'd work with better art

it's fan art

that's why it's bad

sorry but great tweets lend themselves to overthinking.

also most of those comics are from the bad part of weird twitter thats all favstar 18 yr olds just rearranging the same set of tropes

more like [dad|weed|hitler|piss|dog|teens|boner] twitter

yes

ok ok ok
ok

ilx not a fan of twitter the comic the tumblr
