COMIC: #IsawU
🕑 Added 2023-06-29 23:59:23 +0000 UTCJourney back with me, dear patron, to a time long, long ago. A time when Twitter was new and used almost exclusively to make silly jokes with your friends in 140 characters or fewer.
The year: 2012
The game: Tweet fake missed connections ads (The classic "I Saw You" set-up) that doubled as complete short stories with the hashtag #IsawU.
The tweeter: Brendan J
Brendan's missed-connection-short-story tweets so delighted me that 11 years ago I wheedled him into letting me turn them into an illustrated 16 page mini-comic! And by mini, I do mean mini. 2.75″ x 4.25″, to be exact.
Enjoy.
#IsawU last week at Ron Tom's. You were wearing a sweater dress & green chucks. I was a bird. I can transform into a bird when it suits me

1) I love this 2) this reminds me of everything I love about going to comic conventions and buying amazing little comics

These are so good! I love the up and down nature of each little story, never knowing what you're gonna get next!
