Those sunglasses were badass. Guess you didn’t like the Roy Orbison haircut. Don’t blame you for losing it.

6 hours ago: “Of course, but no longer resident in the UK, so not likely.” (Re: @OfficialMolina You would be a great Doctor Who. Would you consider it?)

Now that would be interesting. I mean, John Hurt was already in it. Why not?

2 hours ago: “Genuine question. What EXACTLY are homophobes afraid of? And what is it about gayness that makes them so angry? Genuine questions. No rant.”

Maybe it’s all the fashion sense?

2 hours ago: “I can see how that reading could confuse you! :)” (Re: @OfficialMolina I glanced at this too quick & read homophobes as germaphobes…I became very confused by the rest of the tweet!)

But the fact that you know that means you already read it correctly.

1 hour ago: “Just a genuine question. No rants…” (Re: @OfficialMolina – Is this the thread where we accuse all heterosexual men of being afraid that they themselves might be gay?)

Careful Alfred. You know any idiot can have a Twitter account, right? I mean, there’s NO screening process.

1 hour ago: “Ok, but why should that make someone afraid?” (Re: @OfficialMolina They find the notion of men having sex together disgusting and morally delinquent.)

I don’t think you’re going to get a satisfying answer. I mean, anyone that’s really thought about it, probably isn’t a homophobe.

1 hour ago: “I have always found that amazing, as if being gay is something you might catch, like a cold. Some very interesting comments. Thanks.” (Re: @OfficialMolina They think, if they live and let live, homosexuality will get out of hand, and the world as we know it will cease to exist.)

I don’t think they think that far into the future.

1 hour ago: “And believe me, I’ve done some terrible ones in my time.” (Re: I could watch @OfficialMolina act any script ever written. For reals. Even the terrible ones. @FeudFX #FeudFX)

Really good in Feud. Keep killing it, Alfred!

Okay, let’s rate Alfred’s tweets. Very responsive to fans. Lots of tweets. I give him a 6 for Insanity, an 8 for Style and a 10 for Mustness. That’s an overall score of 8, follow Doc Oc!

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Webcomic Review: St. Beal’s

by tonyd on March 6, 2017 at 12:01 am

Webcomic: StBeals

Creator: Stephen Beals

Format: 3-4 panels

Updates: At least five days a week

Genre: autobiographical (I think)

Themes: slice of life

Characters: Claremont, Harvey, Stephen (I think)

Archive: Goes back to November 2013

Stephen Beals’ comics, I think, are about him. There’s no cast list on the site, but he does have another site called Adult Children. Beals does a gag-a-day strip about normal people observing about normal life things in funny ways. Harvey, I think, is in a relationship. Stephen (who looks like the artist and I assume is supposed to be him) is single. They’re buddies. Stephen is more of the “crazy” character, although Harvey seems to have his wacky adventures. But when I say “wacky” it’s within the context of normality. Claremont is Harvey’s dog and I only mention him because I know his name.

The artwork is pretty good. Beals mixes up the layouts. It’s in color, but that kind of sketchy and/or water color look. It looks hand drawn for sure. Not overly slick. Some of the early strips are in black and white and I suspect the first strip was prior to the link above. Sometimes he just goes off the reservation to do a stand alone joke. He’s not bad. Totally worth checking out.

The site could use some updating. It’s pretty standard, but definitely needs a bio page and perhaps a more dynamic navigation feature. I mean, it’s in order by date and that’s it. Perhaps some milestones or important strips should be linked. Check out Stephen Beals. I kept calling his comic “Saint Beals” because of the website address. I’d like to see more of the background of the characters Stephen. Give us a link!
