American Cartoonist Shannon Wheeler Cuss The US President: See Illustrated Tweets Of Donald Trump
President Donald Trump, who is already three months in office, has never cut his habit of posting on his Twitter account using his unsecured phone. A Portland cartoonist, Shannon Wheeler, will publish a book that will be the permanent record of the POTUS controversial tweets.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, in August, Shannon Wheeler will be publishing a book entitled "S**t My President Says". "S**t My President Says" is a 120-page hardcover collection of the controversial tweets of the President together with illustrations that bring a funny alternate take than what was originally intended.
The book will be published through IDW's Top Shelf imprint. Wheeler said that he got the idea from his friend, Charles Brownstein, who heads the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, according to the Washington Post.
Wheeler added that his friend suggested he should illustrate Trump's tweets. This got his attention and started to work for the book that night. The possible sources are lucrative with the President's tens of thousands of tweets separating the potential laughs from the chaffs are a lot of work.
To lessen the work, Wheeler established criteria, he searched for tweets that give insight into who he is. The cartoonist starting point started from the President's most outrageous tweets, tweets against celebrities and more based on lists other people created.
Then Wheeler asked his Twitter followers to help him get a comprehensive Twitter text files. Many submitted tweets and then Wheeler segregated them by themes like windmills, global warming, David Letterman, Obama's vacation time and birth certificate, etc.
To make a narrative arc, Wheeler strings the tweets together. Wheeler made it clear that he did not do this to spoof the President but to understand him and the image he has of himself.
Even though Wheeler had waded deep into Trump's Twitterland, he is always surprised and he warned that we'll be in trouble if we got used to it. Wheeler is also known for his re-interpretations of the Bible with Mark Russell, "God is Disappointed In You" and "Apocrypha Now."
