The few tweets I’ve made have all been requirements for entering some kind of drawing/contest. (My Coke Rewards Beta is getting really bad about that.) I have no interest in it at all.

The line in the first panel is perfect, in both its meanings. The rest is commentary.

Phoning it in. I guess GT is an expert on that by now.

What’s ttwiter? What’s Basefook?

You don’t tweet or facebook? And yet you post pithy little comments on a comic strip. How is that different from twitter? Hypocrites!

Rowland was such a loveable, gullible dweeb in his early years, doing articles about campus life. He has not changed for the better.

Great observations of the twitterverse. First rate. Also the new episodes of alpha house are funny as ever. I only wish GT would accept help so we could get more material and faster!

I’ve heard “Alpha House” is probably going to get another season, so we’ll have reruns even longer than we originally thought. I’ve been enjoying them so far (of course I have some of the books in my collection), but at some point they get tired as well as old. (Plus not all of the story arcs chosen for the reruns are the ones I’d have picked if I’d had my druthers………)

How would Roland’s followers keep up with the news if they didn’t have his tweets to inform them?Talk about self-referential….

A report this summer said over 15,000 people wind up in emergency rooms from tweeting and….walking. Multiply by 10 to get those who show up after driving.

Boys and Girls, can you spell boring?

What did tweets look like back in 77?

@rpmurrayFrom reading your comments here, it seems your life has been nothing but one long phone call.

In the first panel, is Roland driving a 1954 Morris Oxford?

Still to be seen how tweeting affects communications. #Concise, we hope #relevant?
