Oh man, this feels like when my best friend in 5th grade moved away! Those last times with her were so bittersweet! I KNEW we wouldn’t “write everyday and it’ll feel like we’re still best friends!” She was gone and I never saw or heard from her again. (sob) DON’T LEAVE ME, BANKS!!!
Just an FYI: I’m working writing the last weeks of Barkeater Lake this week and I need to be in NYC tomorrow through Monday to look at Apts. If there’s no new strips up tomorrow, there certainly will be starting Monday.
Just thought you all would want to know what’s happening.
Also, I put the 3rd collection of strips back up for presale in the FRS shop. I need 300 pre-orders to make it worth printing a run of books. Currently, we’re up to around 120. I’d like to keep putting books out, as long as the demand is there, daily strip or no.
The CHPMNK book is also in the same boat as Book 3. I need 300 orders and we’re at around 180 for that, so past halfway!

Thanks for all the kind emails and supportive comments once again. I hope we get to see these books and more in the future!
Corey, As I was whining to my mom the other day about how you were ending my favorite strip.. I had to remind my self how I have never posted, told you how much I love this strip or anything… So now you’ve been told. I guess I will make due with the Elderberries. Best of luck to you.
Corey - not to be a pain, but as the strip is ending, can’t we get an update? You’ve said it’s ending on Oct 31, I don’t want to have a single day without it! (I’ll miss Banks - I’ll think of him everytime I smell bacon)

Any updates on Go Comics running the strip from the beginning? It won’t be the same, but at least we’ll have Banks
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member over 14 years ago
Well, at least he’s making good money by teaching the kids over in Big Nate.

Corey, give Delores a nice fella to ride off into the sunset with… don’t leave her alone up there!

TimeT- Good, I’m not the only one who thought that Corey was taking time off to teach math to Nate.

Not sure when I’ll start updating again guys. I hope it to be this week, but I’ve got several fires to put out first.
I promise to keep you updated on the progress, daily.
In the meantime, a nice FYI on the pre-order goals:
CHPMNK Book needs less than 100 more orders to print and BOOK 3 needs around 160. Almost halfway there!
Talk to you all soon!

Your daily status update, folks: http://www.fakerockstar.com/2009/09/15/shipping-goals-and-deaths/
Things are sorting themselves out and I hope to be drawing again within the next 24 to 36 hours.
Yours in near insanity,

For all interested, Barkeater Lake comics return to regular updates on Monday, 9/21. Thanks for allowing me the break, everyone!
I really needed it.
bmonk over 14 years ago
@cpandolph, even if we refused to allow you a break, what could we do?
Invade your home and force a pencil into your hand?
Keep you from eating and potty breaks until you post an update?
[sigh]
And so we await in shadowèd gloom, as the headman’s axe comes ever closer…

bmonk: I’m all in favor of storming the castle and forcing Corey to do his job. I say we attack on the 21st of September.
JonesDC over 14 years ago
Its the 21st and no updates. I guess everything did not Fall into place, AGAIN.
