Twitter in Focus: Scott McCloud
on May 25, 2016 at 12:01 amHey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is Scott McCloud, Mr. Comic Book himself. Let’s see what he’s tweeting.
May 20th: “Would’a been a good place for an ARROW, Atlanta.”
I don’t see how you expect Atlanta to produce a network-quality TV show based in the DC Universe. Even if it is a major American city.
May 21st: “Would this (pretty great) cartoon be better without the signs saying “left” and “right”?http://www.politico.com/gallery/2016/05/the-nations-cartoonists-on-the-week-in-politics-002261?slide=0 …”
Hmm. I would say because Left and Right are outdated and simplified political labels. Plus the directions are clear, although I suppose someone could swap the perspective in photoshop.
May 21st: “DURHAM: Moogfest is happening! Come see @ryangermick and me chat at 1:00 pm:”
Moogfest? *Google-google* Ah. http://www.moogfest.com/ Guess they have a con for everything now.
May 21st: “Chatting w/ @ryangermick at breakfast re @DBtodomundo‘s sublime “The Sound of Business” Found a great old video ”
Still doesn’t beat…”Heard of a van…loaded with weapons…”
May 22nd: “Hmm. Is @reggiewatts on my plane? #MusicalGenius”
Just like the guy that wrote the Mario Brothers theme. You can hear it, now that I mentioned it.
May 23rd: “Supreme highlight of @Moogfest: hanging out with @SusanKare—she DREW the world we now live in! (Thx to @ryangermick)”
Ooo, creator of the Apple logo. Nice.
May 23rd: “This is pretty cool: Instagram dream comics, by various writers.
(via Maxim Chumin) Paging Jesse Reklaw…
https://www.instagram.com/nine.coma”
Hmm. Interesting.
1 day ago: “Coldstone should introduce an even smaller cup called “Undecided.””
Coldstone is kind of over for me. Can’t really get behind some kid smashing up my ice cream on a cold top that he may or may not have completely wiped off.
11 hours ago: “Yeah, that’s some kind of wonderful craziness:”
He’s referring to this http://swanh.net/ . I’m so worn out from Star Wars.
7 hours ago: “Even a *slim* chance of Bill Weld debating @ElizabethForMA on a national stage—Wow. Please let it happen. #15percent”
This: http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/05/22/gov-bill-weld-on-state-of-the-union—full-interview.cnn Yay, Libertarians!
3 hours ago: “Where I am right now”
Nice. Trippy pic.
Okay, let’s rate Scott’s tweets. Pretty authentic. Surprisingly, no plugs. I give Scott a 7 for Insanity, a 9 for Mustness and a 10 for Style. That’s an overall score of 8.6. Follow Scott.
