The Complete Twitter Comic 2011
So. This is what I did yesterday:
I went down to Southampton on the invitation of my lovely friends from the Monkey On My Back podcast, to be artist in residence for their latest Twitter comic.
What’s a Twitter comic, you ask? Well, first off all, the lovely monkeys asked for suggestions for a story premise on twitter, then held a vote for the best one- and then, yesterday, I made a comic starting from that premise, based entirely on tweeted suggestions coming in live as I was drawing.
I was drawing more or less non-stop for 12 hours (well, okay, I did stop to have dinner- but apart from that), and the comic ended up being 24 pages long (although most of those pages are only two panles- and many are single panel splash pages).
So, the winning tweet for the premise was “A guy has different superpowers depending on what music he’s listening to” from the great Warwick Johnson Cadwell - and as the winner, he was asked to provide the first tweet: “Our hero (unsupersuited?) running through streets skips through ip0d looking for Fatboy Slims Ya Mama to activate speed.”
And this is what ensued…
