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:

Hey folks!

Are you enjoying the recent abundant Ridicularity™ provided by Fake Rockstar conglomocorp? If so, why not tell your friends, enemies and future stalkers? It’s easy!

How easy is it to turn folks on to Fake Rockstar way, you may ask? As luck would have it, there are several methods, utilizing today’s modern interweb:

1. A slap to to the back of the head.
2. Email.
3. Click the “Stumble This” icon and add us to the Stumble Upon database.
4. A second slap to the back of the head.

As always, we here at FRS Conglomocorp appreciate your patronage and hope that you’ll return again to laugh… And laugh… And laugh.

This had been an Official Fake Rockstar, LLC Pontificational Ridicularity™ transmission, legal in 29 of 50 states.

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.

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.

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!

Since taking on the full time role of resident Fake Rockstar over the last few months, I’ve learned some interesting things about myself. Allow me to share…

1. No matter how hard I try to keep a schedule, procrastination continues to make me her bitch. That’s right, procrastination is a female. Deal with it.

2. Not showering for days and not doing laundry for weeks as an adult is much less fun than it was in college.

3. I’m much more productive between the hours of 9pm and 3am.

4. If I stay up working until 3am, I can physically feel my hair and imaginary bugs crawl all over my skin – I call them “Twinklepricks”.

5. Just the right amount of cowboy bourbon whisky actually keeps me awake.

6. Too much cowboy bourbon whisky makes me write things like “Pontificational Ridicularity”.

7. It is possible to write and draw 4 separate comic strips, but not recommended.

8. If I continue to write and draw 4 comic strips, 2 daily, one 5 days a week and one 2 days a week, for one year, I will have drawn and written 1008 comics strips.

9. Eating makes me fat.

10. Listening to the The National at 3am makes me cry.

FYI, bitches.

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.
