Tom Tomorrow's mobile phone promotion

How cool is this? Over on Tom Tomorrow’s blog he writes that he created a series of cartoons that can be projected onto sides of buildings in San Francisco and Seattle as part of promotional efforts for a new mobile service. Passers by can text their punch-line into the empty word balloon, completing the cartoon. The photo above is one of his panels being projected onto the side of San Francisco’s Castro Theater.

Very cool, but I’ve gotta wonder … Since the messages are displayed so publically, does the system have a “filter” or is there an editor squeezed inside of the projector?

Very interesting. Brilliant promotional idea.

That’s a great way to get a little audience participation in his comics.
