Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die!  Today’s contestant is the creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Zach Weinersmith!  Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@ZachWeinersmith

May 2nd:  “Ghosts in the Closet  #smbc #hiveworks”

That one was kinda dark.

May 2nd:  “Today I got to phone meet a favorite author of mine and I got mentioned on Scientific American. Things are turning around!”

Turning around?  SMBC is pretty successful from what I’ve seen.  Surprised you haven’t parlayed it into a TV show.

May 2nd:  “***make some pudding*** ***important business call*** ***gently apply ointment to toddler’s anus*** ***look over contract*** #StayAtHomeLyfe”

Ew.  Gross.  Pudding.

May 2nd:  “Rejected joke: 1 Woman: i have a fetish for people being dismissive of my fetish 2 Man: that’s not a real fetish. Woman: DO ME NOW”

I coulda sworn you did that joke in a comic.

May 2nd:  “Anyone wanna listen to Jerry Jeff Walker and watch me draw a comic?”

Oh, yeah.  Everyone’s doing this now.  I wonder if people would watch me write.  i.e., stop every ten minutes to play video games.  Speaking of…

May 2nd:  “*posts rejected joke idea* *most retweets for a joke in months*”

I thought it was solid.  Guess it’s too late to draw it if you didn’t already.

May 2nd:  To Err is Human: Typos in Literature on AbeBooks

Sounds like a category in @Midnight.

13 hours ago:  “God has a plan  #smbc #hiveworks”

God is a wimp.

13 hours ago:  “Since superconducting works because of electron-phonon coupling, can you make a superconductor stop by vibrating it?”

Whoa.  Tweeting tons of science.

9 hours ago:  “Holy SHIT, HG Wells: ”

Soon all the books will be free…like a library, only in your house where you can make noise.

9 hours ago:  “This is a snippet from HG Wells’ “In the Days of the Comet” during a segment about a future utopia. YEESH”

Whoa.  Had no idea.

9 hours ago:  “In fairness, I have indeed used my ample coarse intellectuality to seize gold from upstanding Christians, but not EVERYONE does that.”

You’re a Christian pirate?  Yaaaaar.

Okay, let’s rate Zach’s tweets.  I give him a 9 for Mustness, an 8 for Style and a 10 for Insanity, because half the time I don’t know what he’s talking about.  That’s an overall score of 9.  Follow Zach.
