@PEANUTWEETER is a Tumblr blog that pairs individual frames from golden-age Peanuts strips with random, funny, out-of-context tweets. The results are surprisingly wonderful.

Peanutweeter (via Underwire)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I like this a lot.

    In a similar vein, The Nietzsche Family Circus

    Somewhere a parent is explaining to a child what “Peanuts” was. Then comes the explanation of ‘newspapers’.
    Then comes the wild guess as to why a dead guy’s strip still gets printed in the comics section.

    /yeah, it’s a cranky comment
    //would rather see new art & comedy, but that’s what the ‘net is for- even peanutweeter works here

    Brilliant, yes, truly “random”, I doubt it: most of the panels seem too perfectly fitted to the tweet.

    • flosofl

      Right you are ill lich! From the site:

      @Peanutweeter matches kinda random Twitter posts with somewhat less than random Peanuts® comic strips by Charles Schulz.

      Oh, man, the 70′s. What were our parents thinking?

      My parents could easily have a strikingly similar photo of me squirreled away somewhere.

    Those Iconix folks have no sense of humor. I’ve dealt with them, to nobody’s benefit. Oh well.

    In a similar vein, there is (was?) Qwantz Twitter

    Takes a tweet from the Public Timeline and splices it together with a random second panel from Dinosaur Comics…

    Sadly, the site’s returning an Internal Server Error at time of posting.
