I’m pretty darn revealed that so many other people seem to agree with me on this. I had half expected to be lynched for not getting on board with the world of Bitstrips.
…Sat/Sun…Mark discovers that Tootone has already started murdering Bitstrip “artists” and has begun feeding their bodies into a large grinder marked “mcdonalds burgers”….
Oooh, you made one too? Is it on your blog? There was me thinking I was the first to go for the Bitstrip attack…dammit.
I think you were first. I posted mine before checking my feed, though.
Yours is really funny! It is slightly ironic that I have chosen to complain about people posting comics on my Facebook wall when I that very thing to my friends every week.
The bit strips got annoying pretty fast. Once I realized it was posted via an app, I blocked it.
I haven’t even heard of bitstrips. Yay! Sometimes it pays to be outside the loop or just simply ignorant. Unless it’s just a single panel cartoon, because I do those every now and then; in which case I’m sorry if I’ve been adding to this bitstrip plague.
Interestingly, I didn’t find this one funny, even though I was thoroughly amused by the faux bad Friday panel. So that, along with my lack of knowledge of the topic you were making fun, I see the big picture joke overall, and I’m pretty sure you conquered your point-making goal while masterfully staying true to your usual, wit-fueled, clever fashion.
Nicely done!
Thanks pal. Yep, you’re lucky to have not encountered Bitstrips. I can definitely see why this one seemed a bit ropey as a result. I tried to basically mimic the conventions of Bitstrips, which are inherently annoying and unfunny…so this post was probably a tad annoying even if you have seen Bitstrips.
Likewise, it’s hard not to un-friend them as a result, both on facebook and in the real world. Their popularity does seem to be waning a bit now though…thankfully.
Those bitsrip things drive me insane. The horrible, horrible things it’s done to cartoons.
Agreed! I really hate them.
Ha ha! I’m so with you on this! We don’t need ya bit(ch) strips coz we can draw ourselves thank you very much!!!

I loved them at first. Now it seems the only thing I see on my Newsfeed. Would rather read something original like your fine blog.
That’s why we have WordPress: it’s Facebook for content, with an increase of neckbeards and fedoras!
It’s an epidemic that shows no sign of ending! Thanks for the thumbs up on my blog though, glad you like it.

Haha, now that’s a comic I’d like to see!
Hear hear!
I made a Bitstrips comic, too! They’re actually pretty amazing– in that it’s amazing people think they’re funny.
(I should also say mine isn’t as funny as yours, but still.)

I fear the Bitstrip app may become the most blocked in the history of Facebook.

I’ve “friends” on Facebook who really think they are cartoonists ’cause they use Bitstrips. So hateful!

I wish it were so… bitstrip here in Italy is even more popular than ever… umpteenth reason that leads me to emigrate!
