Eeww… The cigarette lighter thing in the Porsche was a really gross image. I bet there is some actual real-life precedent for this, because this is too weird to dream up.

Twittermania: The clueless and self-obsessed are all around us. Are you one of Them? My motto: The less said, the better.

2 kinds of people on Twitter: The ones who think their lives are so interesting EVERYONE wants to hear every little detail about them, and the ones who have no life of their own so they live vicariously through others.

My grandfather used to remove warts with a hot soldering iron. A little more precise than that cigarette lighter.

Hey come on. Twitter is just fun. Don’t get all bent out of shape over it.

twinterviewed. A new verb has emerged.

panel 5 is hilarious

‘all the twitter seems about nothing’

I think twitterviewed sounds better. Except now it sounds like I looked at him somehow. Twinterviewed it is, I guess. Except now it sounds like I interviewed two people who shared joint custody of a womb.

I have nooooooooooo time for twitter! Barely have time for the Facebook page, email, the MySpace page has cobwebs. I kind of think twitter is like the people person who interrupts whatever you are doing with a phone call, has nothing to say, but wants company & thinks being alone = lonely. expletive deleted

marvlincoln amen!! To many self absorbed with to much time

Interesting joke, here. It disparages Roland for being so narcissistic and trivial and a time-waster, yet EVERYBODY’S following him. We have met the enemy …

ghaaack!

Sorry, GT, but Roland Hedley in your strip is quite enough, thank you.

Roland’s tweets are sometimes the only ones I read.

Is this the first time Roland’s wife (wives) and kid have been mentioned?

“TO FOLLOW ROLAND: TWITTER.COM/ROLAND_HEDLEY”

Well, that was a bust: some interloper took that address in 2012, stopped using it in 2013.
