Bitstrips, a new smartphone application, allowed users to create cartoon versions of themselves. Users would be able to choose from over a thousand templates to create an avatar that looks like them or the people they know. To further create funny situations, Bitstrips also allowed users to create comic strips complete with thought bubbles.
So far, over 11 million users already downloaded the app. As a result, the Las Vegas Guardian Express reported that more than 300,000 comics had flooded Facebook feeds. According to a report in Syracuse.com, this has spurred various reactions from users of social media. A Twitter user complained that it was cheap while others said they were obsessed by it.
