Description

From a simple, brilliant premiseto create comics from the weirdest and funniest tweets around artist Mike Rosenthal has crafted a hilariously surreal world that has attracted over a million followers to his blog Twitter: the Comic. Each carefully curated tweet delivers concentrated humor in the language of the internet, reproduced in the comics with typos and all. As envisioned by Rosenthal, tweets come to life through a bizarrely recognisable cast of bassoon-playing cops, sarcastic teens, bear MDs, clueless dads, potential insect overlords, and more. Featuring more than 125 comics, including dozens unique to this book, Twitter: The Comic is a dementedly funny vision of our strange online age, and the greatest tweets of our generation.
