Hey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Anthony Jeselnik. He’s funny on stage, let’s see what he’s tweeting.
November 16th: “At long last, Charlie Sheen really does have it all.”
Ba-zing! South Park is right. AIDS is finally funny.
November 19th: “This week I take the NFL to the blood bank, Senator, for their severe lack of patriotism. #RJVP ”
Comedy central to the NFL. Definitely a step up.
November 19th: “Fifteen years. A small price to pay for peace of mind.”
Five…five…five or more footlongs.
December 2nd: “Guns don’t kill people. But they sure as shit don’t do them any favors.”
Yeah. A gun borrowed $200 from me. Still haven’t see dollar one back.
December 6th: “I’ll believe Jimmy Carter’s brain cancer is gone when I hear it from someone who doesn’t have brain cancer.”
He’s like the Ned Flanders of presidents.
December 10th: “This week I straight up kill it like a box of turtles. #RJVP ”
That’s obviously a joke. Anyone who has done it, knows that it takes forever.
January 7th: “Achtung: this one is a little weird. But at least I finally address the Gilmore Girls controversy. ”
Finally!
January 9th: “Big Ben and Joey Porter are an unstoppable team.”
I’m not up on sports. I assume these guys make ice cream.
January 13th: “Not all ducks. https://twitter.com/whattheffacts/status/687175546908721152 …”
I assumed all ducks were raped.
January 21st: “”A thing is not beautiful because it lasts forever.” #RJVP ”
Gotta get you a sitcom, AJ. Too funny for sports.
January 29th: “You’re on some bullshit if you think you can have a Gilmore Girls revival without ol’ Jez. ”
You were on that show?
February 4th: “If you only listen to one podcast this year, make it RJVP episode 15. Special thanks to Roger Goodell. http://www.nfl.com/podcasts?series=rosenthaljeselnikvanity-podcast …”
Ah, well. There are too many podcasts anyway.
February 13th: “Funny. I actually support Scalia on this one.”
Now who will go with Cheney when he shoots guys in the face?
Okay, let’s rate Anthony’s tweets. I give him a 7 for Mustness, an 8 for Insanity and a 9 for Style. Follow Anthony. Funny guy. Hopefully, he gets a movie or TV show soon.

Druid City is a webcomic, formatted in a series of graphic novels, about an investigative journalist. Druid City is based on the author’s home town in Alabama.
Jeremy has a very strong webpage and a great about page. One of the best I’ve seen. Far too often, creators won’t even bother to fill this in. Jeremy has six years under his belt, so obviously this is a labor of love. It really shows.
The art style is pretty low key, but functional for the story. So it could be better, but gets the job done. The story, however, is extremely compelling. Satcher draws you in with his imperfect protagonists, Hunter. Hunter is an investigative journalist who left college in Texas before he graduated the graduate program. He’s returned to Alabama and starts to immediately make waves. But Hunter’s past is also problem, as he’s pissed off a lot of people along the way.
I think part of the appeal of this story is that Satcher has such a fleshed out world. Five years updating 3 times a week on one story? Whew! That’s meaty reading! It’s like reading a good drama over several seasons. And Satcher takes his time building characters. Doesn’t blurt everything out in a few panels. He’s playing the long game here and it’s good. Sometimes his art exceeds his grasp, but I think you can forgive it because the overall story is compelling and worth reading. He has this interesting way of designing characters that’s part cartoon, but part geometric shapes. Kind of like the difference between the American and the Canadian characters on South Park.
So if you’re tired of 22 page pamphlets, check out Druid City. I couldn’t put it down.
