A Comicbook Made from Daily Tweets

Whiney Matheson is a journalist who writes the Pop Candy blog at USA Today. A while ago, her tweets were converted into artwork by several artists, for the 2008 Comic-Con. Some of you might have seen this.

So anyway, these are comics created using text that were originally tweets. It’s interesting because Tweets themselves translate very well into comic panels. After all, each one is only 140 characters max and that fits well as caption to explain one picture. It makes me think about what other mediums tweets could be mashed into… soon enough, we’ll see the world’s first Twitter-powered movie. That would be rad.
