COMIC: #IsawU (Patreon)

Journey 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.
