Modern Home Alone By Jen Lewis
Today, I am glad to bring an insightful yet short, webcomic story called Modern Home Alone by Jen Lewis. Modern Home Alone comes to us by way of a Buzzfeed article written by Jen Lewis. “15 Reasons The Plot Of “Home Alone” Could Never Happen Today’ reimagines Home Alone as a modern day movie.
Jen relays key moments in the movie where the addition of modern technology would have easily resolved a lot of the issues Kevin and family encountered. From searching for fake news stories to googling the proper ways to pack a suitcase, Jen envisioned almost every scenario getting resolved by technology. Here are some of my favorites:
10. The McCallisters would send an Uber to take Kevin to the airport so he could be put on the next flight to Paris.
11. Kevin would have access to Netflix, etc., so he wouldn’t be limited to Angels With Filthy Souls as the only option to scare the pizza guy and the criminals.
12. Kevin would use the “special notes” box to tell the pizza guy to leave his delivery on the stoop.
It should also be noted that Jen Lewis is also a writer/illustrator who started working at BuzzFeed since 2013 and has even illustrated the official Breaking Bad coloring book. So, if you’re interested in her work, be sure to contact her.
