Today is Twitter Cartoon Day. I’m going to be Dick Dastardly Dangermouse Esteban from The Cities of Gold Hong Kong Phooey Dick Dastardly. Brighten up the lives of your fellow Twitterers today by changing your avatar (picture) to a cartoon character.
And see how many pictures on your followers list change…
I you want to spread the word further, click on the image above for an image you can use as your Twitter wallpaper.
After all, it’s Friday!

For those who don’t get why this can be fun, ok, don’t.

Maybe we should tag a tweet with #cartoon so robots can pick up on it.
