Many are still asleep. But comics folk had only one thing to talk about this morning. Illustrated by the amazing work of Sean T Collins, and his Thin White Sketchbook.

I wrote a comic about David Bowie. https://t.co/OVLxIFvi2j

RIP David Bowie, Hope your final transformation is a good one.

David Bowie got more out of his 69 years than I would if I lived to be 1,000.

— Kevin Maguire (@maguirekevin) January 11, 2016

Wait…WHAT?! Bowie died? Damn.

— Jimmy Aquino (@jimmyaquino) January 11, 2016

Bowie changed the world by standing outside of it. Didn't seem like it could touch him. But he fooled us again by being flesh and blood.

I've heard a rumor from Ground Control… Oh no, don't say it's true#bowie pic.twitter.com/wpH4lalBtW

Oh my fucking god. I'm incredibly saddened to learn that David Bowie passed away. What the fuck. It was way too soon.

— Cameron Hatheway (@CamComicCorner) January 11, 2016

At one point, we toyed with the idea of every #WicDiv god being based on an different aspect of Bowie. You could get 12 out of that, easy.

David Bowie's work has influenced and shaped me as a person and an artist so much I don't even know where to begin. Very sad. Bye Starman.

Stunned and sad. The world is emptier now, and all they stars crashing down. My love and sympathies to @ManMadeMoon.

I was so excited when the new Bowie album popped up in my music library just a couple days ago. This doesn't feel real. #fuckcancer

— david golbitz 🎃 (@davidgolbitz) January 11, 2016

Bowie. No.

— Hayley Campbell (@hayleycampbell) January 11, 2016

Words fail. Luckily Bowie left a legacy of amazing music, so I'll just listen to my favorite. Thank you. RIP Bowiehttps://t.co/fYyzb7XQO4

"I can remember, Standing by the wall. And the guns shot above our heads. And we kissed, as though nothing could fall." RIP Bowie.

The only thing to do now is go build the future David Bowie was living in. It was so strange and beautiful and that's why he showed it to us

The club just paused this band's set to announce David Bowie died.

— Nick Hanover (@Nick_Hanover) January 11, 2016

He's making me a list and I'm going to listen to all of it. So, thanks David Bowie, for helping me connect with my dad

Thinking about various Bowie songs. I was doing really well and then it was Kooks, of all things, that set me off.

Hero.

Forever and ever.

— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) January 11, 2016

So many storytellers are content with pandering to our comfort or congratulate themselves for pure antagonism. Bowie lead us to new places

— James Asmus (@JamesAsmus) January 11, 2016

I know it's probably more Queen than Bowie, but it was the "this is our last dance" slow rise that got me, which I credit to Bowie.

— Chris Schweizer (@schweizercomics) January 11, 2016

I'll schedule a few of these to go out over the next few days. https://t.co/4us0vtWbgw

I loved The Man Who Fell To Earth, and honestly imagined Bowie living to at least 100. His aura will stay with us.

I know a lot of people will be crying tonight. And it's easy to make it about us. But two children lost their father A wife lost her husband

"We can be Heroes, for ever and ever" David Bowie https://t.co/630HobEoD3

— Grace Yee (@graceuk78) January 11, 2016

It's pretty terrific that Bowie gave us another album in the time he had, and that he saw it released before he passed.

— Jerry Ordway (@JerryOrdway) January 11, 2016

Another one. https://t.co/qaKQs08Jer

— Fred Connelly (@brendonconnelly) January 11, 2016

Bowie existed so all of us misfits learned that an oddity was a precious thing. he changed the world forever.

— Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) January 11, 2016

I don't have a favorite Bowie song. I don't even have a favorite album. Is "Nearly all of them" acceptable? I have no other answer.

— Ryan Higgins (@RyanHigginsRyan) January 11, 2016

FUCK. #Bowie

You can count the number of events in my life as seismic to me as discovering David Bowie on one hand.

— Sean T. Collins (@theseantcollins) January 11, 2016

Think of all the art, all the beauty we wouldn't have if not for David Bowie. Not just what he created, but what he inspired.

I feel a bit weepy about Bowie. He was woven into the fabric and DNA of a couple of generations.

The irony is, despite his alien persona, Bowie always seemed incredibly down to earth.

— Moose Allain Ꙭ (@MooseAllain) January 11, 2016

I danced to Bowie at my wedding and he's propped me up so many times while I've been down. This is unbelievably sad.

— Christian Hoffer (@CHofferCBus) January 11, 2016

Ahh, bairns today. Gotta love 'em, the poor bastards. We got Bowie, they get Bieber. https://t.co/2SUhiFXSBg

— Leonard Sultana (@lennyukdeejay) January 11, 2016

Bowie's music never lingered for me, but I feel for everyone who woke to a gut punch. It's fine to cry for artists you loved.

— Patrick Dane (@PatrickDane) January 11, 2016

Keeping myself together with the thought that Bowie wouldn't cry *his* makeup off.

— Andrea Burgess (@echtburge) January 11, 2016

I don't care what anyone else says, I LOVED the first Tin Machine album. #Bowie

— Tim Pilcher (@Tim_Pilcher) January 11, 2016

For me Bowie will forever be the fairy tale king that lived among Brian Froud goblins and Jim Henson Muppets at the center of the Labyrinth.

I don't know what to say about Bowie. I cried in the bathroom at work as soon as I found out. I'm distraught.

— Molly, Kylo Ren's Wife (@MollyMcIsaac) January 11, 2016

@twhiddleston Putting Hank Williams to one side for one moment, always thought Bowie would be the guy you'd be best to play in a biopic.

I think my introduction to David Bowie when he was The Goblin King from Labyrinth. He was great!… https://t.co/opJ0L1FHDE

One of my favourite weird things David Bowie ever did was this mime about a mask. https://t.co/GASjkCz53o
