Twitter Tuesday

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Brett

Each week, we bring you the politically charged tweets from those in the comic book industry to show it’s not all tights and capes.

The live video & audio from Tahrir Sq is very moving. The determination & unity of Egyptians is stunning.

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) February 1, 2011

I know it's hard to care much about what's happening in Egypt, but the significance for the Middle East is very great…

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) February 1, 2011

Everything I've read indicates Egypt is a sort of cultural arbiter for the Middle East, so the rest of region is looking to them as example.

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) February 1, 2011

This is ground zero for a democratic Middle East of the future. That's why this is so important.

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) February 1, 2011

Not to mention that it's fascinating, dramatic, inspiring, and I'm totally fucking obsessed at this point. lol

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) February 1, 2011

Congrats to all the members of Congress who are getting their free health care today.Thinking about you as I write my checks or my premiums.

— Michael Atiyeh (@atiyehcolors) February 1, 2011

GOP plan to redefine the definition of rape has Dr. Light VERY excited.

— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) February 3, 2011

Each week we scour the twitter accounts of various folks in the comic book industry to show how they chat about more than just folks in spandex who can fly. With the State of the Union last week there was a lot of chatter, and here’s some of the best.

This year's #SOTU seating arrangement was created because no one wanted to sit with Lieberman.

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

That's the lightest I've ever seen Boehner. He must be using bleaching cream. #sotu

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

Justice Alito is a no-show for #SOTU. He thought he was going to have to sit next to a Democrat too.

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

I really think Obama should've broken through the paper #POTUS logo first. #SOTU

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

To be fair to the look on Boehner's face, Biden farted. #SOTU

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

#POTUS is right. Scranton and Ohio do suck. #SOTU

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

What's up with Paul Ryan's eyes? Is he stoned? #SOTU

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

If Bachmann looked at the camera, we would turn to stone. #TrainWreck #SOTU

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

I just realized what Bachmann's role was: to make mainstream Republicans look sane in comparison. She's the GOPs Flava Flav.

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 26, 2011

Holy Recon, DC Nation! If new GOP House legislation goes through, Dr. Light innocent of rape of Sue Dibney!!

— Layman (@themightylayman) January 29, 2011

Gas your own people 20 years ago, we invade. Starve your own people this year, we're not sure if we want to call for your resignation.

— Nick Spencer (@nickspencer) January 30, 2011

Oh, US foreign policy, you never saw a blatant hypocrisy you didn't want to make out with.

— Nick Spencer (@nickspencer) January 30, 2011

I'm seeing chatter that some Egyptians feel the total lack of security/policing in Cairo is intentional by the gov't…

— Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal) January 30, 2011

…a strategy of purposeful chaos, make the people cry for the return of order, and thus welcome back the status quo?

Twitter Tuesday

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Brett

Each week we dig into the more politically motivated Tweets from the comic book industry to show it’s not just capes and tights on their minds.

Darrell Issa has been screwing up California politics for years. Now he's doing it nationally. I hope no arson will be involved.

— Gabriel Hardman (@gabrielhardman) January 18, 2011

Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye. #Lieberman

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 18, 2011

I want to kiss Lieberman goodbye. Then I want to say, "I know it was you, Joe. You broke my heart."

— Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) January 18, 2011

Oh healthcare, I hardly knew you.

Each week we try to highlight that the comic book industry is more than big pecks, guns and people flying around in tights. Below are some of the more political oriented Tweets from various folks in the comic book industry.

Michelle Bachmann considering run for President. Presumably, she means President of CrazyNutbagistan.

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) January 5, 2011

We need to investigate those who say Sarah Palin uses the blood of Christian children to make matzo. Er, as soon as we find one. #bloodlibel

— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 12, 2011

I don't believe Jared Loughner was a follower of Sarah Palin. But he has apparently read more books than she has.

— Mark Evanier (@evanier) January 11, 2011

On this day to remember the victims of Tucson, let us not forget who Sarah Palin believes is the real victim: Sarah Palin.

— Mark Evanier (@evanier) January 12, 2011

This is how you demonstrate leadership. Pres Obama's full text: 'Our Hopes and Dreams Are Bound Together' http://bit.ly/ePI8Xq

— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) January 13, 2011

Sp. Boehner has decided that the term is now "job-destroying." Destroying is much better manners than killing, y'see. http://nyti.ms/exofZY

We scour Twitter to see what politically oriented Tweets those in the comic industry are posting. It was a quieter week than normal, but we found one that caught our eye.

Every time I hear a conservative use the term "Obamacare" I get the urge to smack them with a sick person.

@dreamyeyed kids already graduate not knowing how to read! #PublicEducationFail If taxpayers can't pay 4 schools they should have less kids.

— Dr. Michele Ross (@drmicheleross) December 27, 2010

I would wish for the city would come and plow my street, but that would be socialism. I'll wait for the free market to sort it out instead.

U. of Maryland study finds Fox News viewers are the most misinformed. In other news, I could've told you that without the study.

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) December 17, 2010

DADT repealed. The army guy must be so relieved that he can finally be himself around the other Village People.

Think those in the comic industry just chat about tights and superheroes on Twitter all day? Check out their ruminations on politics, culture and more.

Hmm. Now that Sharron Angle isn't the GOP chance to beat Harry Reid, will she get big donations to her new PAC…

— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) December 13, 2010

Thanks. :-) RT @feijoa66: Interesting article by @dylanhorrocks on the ecology and ownership of culture http://bit.ly/gLxHKI

It's not enough to simply print a book. A publisher's job is to make sure a book reaches its audience. Too may seem to have forgotten this.

Sounds like GOP needs a reminder of the difference between 'governing' & 'activism'. Blocking everything isn't going to cut it!

Or is it that I'm just a cynical bastard? Diplomats engaged in espionage! I'm shocked, shocked to hear there's spying going on in here!

they really need to let anyone convicted of smoking pot or having it on them out of jail tomorrow. Why should jail be big business.

— Jimmy Palmiotti (@jpalmiotti) November 28, 2010

Can we just make a rule that Willie Nelson only gets busted if he DOESN'T have pot on his tour bus?

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) November 27, 2010

According to Rush Limbaugh: "The true story of Thanksgiving is socialism failed." Um … what?

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) November 26, 2010

Let's also remember that according to Rush Limbaugh, "No, officer, I don't know who that Oxycontin belongs to…"

— Ron Marz (@ronmarz) November 26, 2010

How come the dudes who whine when I make fun of Sarah Palin almost inevitably have pix in which they're posing with guns? #tinypeepee
