That won’t fly in the sticks, boy…
Barkeater Lake will return later today or first thing tomorrow morning, kids.
I’m stuck in travel limbo, on account of the huge dump of snow on the Northeast. As soon as we’re back in Portland – And as soon as I can shovel our way into the house – I’ll update yer daily fix.
Peaches and cream,
Corey

It’s a snow day in Barkeater Lake. Poor gu though, He’s going to freeze by the time Corey gets around to drawing the next panel with the ice castle in it.

Just think how much more material there will be for that ice castle! We just have knee deep mud in places out here!

charlie: Let’s talk again next August.

it’s a dry heat—–kinda like sticking your head in an oven—lol– but you can still drive or go or do just about anything you want in airconditioned comfort

At least we still get our BL - albeit randomly. I’m still a happy consumer.

Corey’s probably been on a nyquil and vodka binge again.
March 3rd, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I would be too if I was snowed in, in March! Ahhhh…. Vodka!

“it’s a dry heat”
True, and I’d rather be in 110° heat with 10% relative humidity than 100° heat with 98% rel. hum. (I grew up in Mississippi). But 110° is freaking hot. And while I doubt I’ll be there in August, the way my current project is going I have a distinct suspicion that I’m going to be out walking around in the Sonora Desert between Palm Springs and Blythe, CA, this July. Woe is me…
Maybe Corey can save some snow for me.

With as much as we have on the ground up here in Maine, it [[may]] still be melting in July…

How come the writers of Marmaduke or Cathy never gets snowed in and can’t draw their daily comic strip?
March 4th, 2009 at 10:42 am
Because the writers of Marmaduke and Cathy are unfunny robots, with no souls. That’s why.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I noticed the “Elderberries” always makes it in. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have deadlines for several strips! Even if someone were an unfunny robot, that’s a lot of work.

Peanuts never missed a day in I don’t know how many years. Schultz had do DIE for it to stop. Even then he had strips ahead for a while after he kicked. Don’t blame it on others being unfunny, Corey, that shows a lack of class. When you’ve been writing successful strips as long as some of the “unfunny, soulless” writers you can kick. In the mean time I am glad to see BL still on, if only semi-regularly.
There is a guy who does a once-a-week webstrip who has a MASSIVE following. You can do it. Keep plugging and slow down on the sterno.
So, did you use vodka with the Nyquil or was it white rum?

All the haters here seem to forget that Charles Schulz (spelled correctly), Cathy Guisewite and others were all being PAID very, very well by large syndicates to produce their strips. Corey has to squeeze in Barkeater Lake while somehow also putting in enough hours of work to make a living. You ever consider that?
March 5th, 2009 at 1:27 am
And yet they all started out JUST LIKE COREY.
March 5th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Yes, that’s right — Charles Schulz started out on the Internet.
Schulz and others each spent who-knows-how-long preparing six weeks’ worth of strips as submission samples … and it probably took them longer than six weeks each since they had to earn a living as well as do comic strips on spec.
Once they sold the strips and started getting paid for them, they could devote themselves to the strips full-time. Maybe you’re a trust-fund kid, but the rest of us have to work full-time and pursue spec work or unpaid work on the side.
