Welcome to Twitter in Focus, where media comes to die! And speaking of dying, today’s contestant is Artie Lange, who is, thankfully, very much alive. He’s hilarious on stage, let’s see what he’s tweeting.

May 2nd: “The great Alaa Abdelnaby came by to watch the fight. Can u guess which one of us played in the NBA?! ” https://twitter.com/artiequitter/status/594678846621888513/photo/1

His name would wipe out the “A’s” in Scrabble.

May 2nd: “Can’t get enough of these guys! pic.twitter.com/nnqlEsj7nN”

They really need Mike Tyson in there. Not so I could listen to him, just so I could laugh at him.

May 2nd: “Now that Jamie Foxx butchered the National Anthem let’s fight!”

Guess he should’ve acted his way through it.

May 2nd: “Boxing has changed. When did Don King become Burger King?!”

Chicken fries! Only in America!

May 3rd: “My prediction: Paris Hilton will blow Burger King.”

Was there anyone at this fight that wasn’t a franchise?

May 3rd: “When did Andre Agassi start dating David Lee Roth?”

When they started sharing Rogaine tips?

May 3rd: “Stay tuned after the fight when HBO presents Abott & Costellos Who’s on First? Performed by Roy Jones Jr & Floyd Mayweather Sr. !”

I almost wished I had seen this fight on someone else’s dime.

May 3rd: “Even if Mayweather wins Jamie Foxx has made America tonight’s biggest loser”

Let me see this. (One search later.) He should’ve sung it as Wanda.

May 3rd: “The winner should fight that mother in Baltimore who slapped her kid”

Ha! Nice.

May 3rd: “BORING!! So bad. Terrible rip off fight”

There’s no way it was going to live up to the hype.

Okay, let’s rate Artie’s tweets. Good stuff. Behind the scenes, some jokes and he let his fans do the plugs. I give Artie a 9 for Insanity, an 8 for Mustness and a 10 for Style. That’s an overall score of 9. Follow Artie.

Webcomic Review: The Sisters

by tonyd on May 4, 2015 at 1:09 am

Webcomic: The Sisters

Creators: Peter Violini, Brian L. Richmond

Format: Comic book pages, color

Updates: Fridays

Genre: Urban fantasy

Themes: Siblings, family, magic, modern day life

Characters: Erin, Jam, Beatrice

Archive: Starts probably in 2014, 64 posts as of this review.

The Sisters is about a group of modern day witches that live in the Boston area. The mostly foul-mouthed O’Sullivan girls have a gift for magic because of their bloodline. They live in a world in which witches live in a secret society that’s pretty casual. The modern day stuff gives it a good twist and the sisters feel like characters with powers, rather than powerful people that are sometimes characters.

The strong female leads are fun and they have a lot of personality. Violini and Richmond are taking their time and have so far posted two chapters and a side story. I assume it’s all leading somewhere, but right now I’m enjoying the ride. The artwork and writing are both very solid and I could see a really good graphic novel coming out of this. Definitely check out The Sisters.
