Twitter Unsafe by Guhmshoo on Bitstrips

Cartooning is an almost forgotten part of social media  You see them included in newspapers, online magazines, and blogs across the net.  Some of them are crafted totally by hand, others designed with tools from the Internet, like Bitstrips.

InventorSpot did a round up of their Top Ten Social Media Cartoonists. A long time Twitter bud and fellow online cartoonist, Guhmshoo, made the cut.

What makes one a social media cartoonist? It’s honestly not about the method of creation or how the work is shared, it’s that the creator targets social media. I dabbled a bit in this when Bitstrips, Toonlet and other online cartoon creation sites sprung up.

Bitstrips was the first to make adding multiple characters in a panel easy. Guhmshoo embraced this has his primary outlet and went on to create some conversation sparking cartoons.

Guhmshoo uses his cartoons to echo things going on in the social media universe. The one above is a reflection on the safety of Twitter. In another strip he pits Bing against Google.

If you’re not into cartoons, then I still recommend Guhmshoo on Twitter.
