Hey kids,

So I took some time to finally update the majority of the pages of Fake Rockstar.com…

First, you’ll notice the “Quick links” sidebar to the right: Some nice links for your favorite Fake Rockstar Ridicularity, and the list will grow as I find time to add more. Second, the comics page has been updated with current links and samples of each comic… Enjoy. Also, the writing page has a couple links to FRS writings over the last year or so.

I still need to add all the old archives from the old blogger version of Fake Rockstar, as well as building the long awaited, and mighty storefront.

Until then, enjoy the changes and keep coming back. I hope to get back in the groove of regular posts and regular ridicularity very soon.

Cheers!

Hey Bacon Banditos,

Just a reminder to check Li’l Spencer’s Adventures every Tuesday and Thursday! There’s been some irregular postings of the devil-child the past few weeks, but he’s all up to date and has all his shots… We think.

Three ways to see Spencer’s evil:

TOBY, Robot Satan found his way into the rural nutiness of Barkeater Lake today. Why? Well, put simply… I can. I’m God and these poorly drawn people, dogs and robots do as I say.

Stay tuned for what happens next. You never know, I just may kill them all and replace them with a duck, lizard and lame online geek references.

In the Sunday 4/20 edition of Wiley Miller’s Non Sequitur, the main character Joe is seen reading a paper called the “Sunday Telegram”, with a headline that reads “Corey Pandolph Found Dead at Gritty’s”.

Needless to say it was a groggy Sunday morning surprise to find that I was dead… At least in comic form. Rest assured, I’m fine and you shouldn’t believe everything you read… Especially in the comics.

FYI, my friend and Maine journalist, Al Diamon, does a nice job of reporting the incident here: Media Mutt

Cheers!

Baseball! Flowers! Showers! Mud and yards of brown grass that smell like feet!

It’s Spring in Maine, a time when we we climb from our caves… Uh, capes and say hello to Mr. Sunshine. We pull out the short shorts, the flip flops and Adirondack chairs and pretend that we’ve NEVER seen a late April snowstorm.

So, before you exercise your weather delusions, why not enjoy some comedy? Eh?

It’s the Drink at Work Show: Portland! This Wednesday, April 16th @ the Empire Dine and Dance.

“Enter with your shorts and cabana shirt, exit with your parka and Bean boots.”

Starting this Sunday, April 6th, new Barkeater Lake strips begin on a daily basis. I’ve spent the last few weeks preparing good cushion of strips, hopefully learning from the mistakes of the past–namely, drawing and posting a strip on the day its due.

We’ll see how it goes.

Also, in the coming weeks, I’ll update the archives, so it goes all the way back to the beginning, as well as building a new Fake Rockstar store front. The new store will include the first and second BL book, as well as the coming CHPMNK book and some cool T-shirts–BL themed and some new designs for a new Fake Rockstar clothing line that the fashion designer wife and I have been working on.

Many other things are in the works that will materialize as we head into the summer months.

There will be more info as it’s available, but we’re all hoping for a big Fake Rockstar year, full of bacon, beer and Ridicularity™!

Cheers!

R Stevens added TOBY and a partial Fake Rockstar twitter in the background of today’s Diesel Sweeties webcomic. The wife and I both have a couple of his T-shirts and I’m a regular reader of his comic. If you haven’t yet, check him out.

Here in Maine, it’s always cold and we wear parkas and “Bean boots” through late July. So, after a long February of hunting, gathering and cuddling one’s sister/brother/cousin/dog for warmth, March brings the slight hint of a possible summer. And even though that summer may last four short days in August, they are days filled with sun, fun and hasty preparation for the coming late August freeze.

So, in the spirit of March optimism, we present the Drink at Work Show: Portland! This Wednesday, March 19th @ the Empire Dine and Dance.

There’ll be warm cousins and cold beer.
