Garry Trudeau Twitters, Talks (About Town), Takes a Moment to Tweflect
Filed under: Headline Shooter Tagged: cartoons, comics, Garry Trudeau, Roland Hedley, television, Twitter
Emily Gordon writes:
1. Garry “Doonesbury” “Awesome” “Of Whom I Am a Lifelong Fan” Trudeau started Twittering as his self-absorbed, intrepid newsman character Roland Hedley.
2. Trudeau writes (or excerpts, or compiles) a Talk of the Town with some choice tweets from Hedley’s mystic journey to the G-20 Summit.
3. Mediabistro’s TVNewser interviews Trudeau about the whole twemonenon.
4. Starting words with “tw” is still funny, and maybe, like saying “www dot” to start a funny word or phrase to ironically convey its currency, it always will be.

I admire your preemptive defense of these tweologisms!
