What is nearly as fast as #earthquake jokes ricocheting their way through the highways, byways and sketchy rest stops of social media?
Some days, it seems, it’s the cartoonists — including the first-responders at Next Media Animation.
Washington Examiner’s Nate Beeler reacted promptly to Tuesday’s seismic event with this cartoon — in which Obama uses a golf club to break the fourth wall.
And at the Taiwan-based Next Media Animation, the artists rendered an Eastern seaboard tweeting away its fears immediately after the 5.8-magnitude quake hit Tuesday afternoon.
Evacuations! Panic! Congressional punch-lines! NMA even referenced the insta-lame Guv Christie tweet-”joke” not once but twice.
Next Media Animation even spoofs hashtag-happy overreactions to any future non-event. And for that, NMA artists: #WeThankYou.
