Those of you eager to prove that you have the best phone home screen wallpaper, you might want to get in on this action.
Comic writer Kevin Church, a self described Star Trek and Star Wars obsessive, decided to pass the time by asking people to send him screenshots of their phones' home screens so he could grade them.
He started with his own, of course.
Show me your home screens. I'll go first. https://t.co/kLmf3ZCkFHβ Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549556883.0
And then the submissions poured in.
Here's one with a dog!
@Kevin_Church https://t.co/wNKvJbfbxXβ Darlene (@Darlene)1549557117.0
And the judge has decreed...
Good and minimal. Has a dog. GRADE: A https://t.co/QCNQxArTxGβ Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549557369.0
Here's another submission, this one distinguished by... umm... a really long tongue.
@Kevin_Church https://t.co/ksvUhQRpeVβ Erica Henderson (@Erica Henderson)1549557166.0
And the judge has decreed...
Too many icons for my taste, but placement is solid. Good Sun Bear. GRADE: B+ https://t.co/2IXWJCC9p8β Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549557396.0
(We kind of agree with him here.)
Here's another submission, this one featuring some really cool art.

Unfortunately, that same art is obscured by too many icons, so the judge decrees...
Aw, geez, so many icons in one spot. I can't check out that sweet art. GRADE: C- NOTE: See me about folders and plβ¦ https://t.co/DrzsN01jO4β Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549557465.0

But there are problems with this submission as well.
Too busy! I can't see The Best Wonder Woman in all her glory. Good folder usage, though. GRADE: C+ https://t.co/Twgrec0p1Dβ Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549558102.0
Here's another, this one considerably more organized than the previous couple of submissions.

It appears Judge Kevin is pleased.
V organized. Good KH wallpaper. Wonder about Play Store being in the nav bar at the bottom, though. GRADE: B+ https://t.co/KbtGxT0kj7β Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549557742.0
This submission is beautifully organized.

That discipline certainly paid off handsomely for this lucky contestant.

Try again later.
Court is adjourned.
Covering Mean Gene Okerland is a crime. GRADE: F https://t.co/KLD9AfvHZbβ Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549558276.0
This one is rather messy...
@Kevin_Church My icons never ever stay where I put them. Just a fact of life now https://t.co/6u3wst0Nxoβ Nicholas (@Nicholas)1549558798.0
...a feature that no doubt influenced Judge Church's ruling.
You're trying to kill me with this. GRADE: D, even with the good placement of the icons in the nav bar. https://t.co/tQEZe6PcvYβ Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549561796.0

The judge was pleased with how his afternoon went.
Thank you for sending me your homescreens for grading. This ends today's class. Office hours are tomorrow from 1 until 3!β Kevin Church ππ» (@Kevin Church ππ»)1549562310.0
Think you've got what it takes? Want to attain phone home screen glory? (If this isn't a thing, it is now.)
Go ahead and hit up Judge Kevin on Twitter yourself to find out if your home screen is up to snuff.
