New plan...

2011-12-19T17:28:00.005-06:00

So, I'm changing the banner at the top to read "updated randomly..."

I still really enjoy this comic and have a few ideas up my sleeve, but I've been thinking about the workload this comic entails. I'm about to get married and with the catching up already on the agenda, I'm taking the pressure off. No weekly deadline. I'll post always on Mondays, but from now on, it'll be random postings throughout the month.

All three or four of youse guys who continue to read this blog, I appreciate you. I'll still be bringing the Donnie Rocket goodness, just without the stress of a weekly hit.

Thanks for your support and patronage. All the best, ~ Brad

Hard times and some sketches...

2011-11-14T01:38:00.002-06:00

So, last week my laptop died. No fanfare. It just stopped working and now I am trying to put this mess called "life" back together. I have a fill-in laptop and have since reloaded Photoshop, outfitted this one with Carbonite back-up and have recollected all the fonts I use for Donnie Rocket. Needless to say, There was no comic last week and there will not be one this week either. To my loyal supporters, my humble apologies. The move to the new place put me back and then putting together the book (which has to be re-created from scratch) and now this. Keeping up a weekly webcomic is more difficult than I ever could have expected.

But I'M NOT STOPPING.

I'll make up the comics I have missed in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here are a few recent "field sketches" (drawings done on the fly in public environments).

Do check back. Thanks. ~ Brad

Vol. 1 coming real soon!

2011-10-31T00:33:00.001-05:00

No comic this week... BECAUSE... I'm putting together a book! That's right, the proofs are in and the count-down to the final week or two is upon us!

Introducing the first collection of Donnie Rocket Toaster-Face comics in book form.

I have battled through a harsh bout with the flu this week to finish the book up. I am pleased with it. And you should be, too. If you're reading this, you are the reason I put the collection together. You're the audience.

Should be available on Amazon soon for an special pre-Christmas price of $9.99. I'm announcing it here so you can go and stock up. Give them as a gift to everyone you know. Seriously, spread the mirth!

After Christmas the price will go up to the regular $12.99 price tag.

Check back here for updates and details and thanks for all the support, youse guys!

Awesome Cake Anniversary!

2011-05-23T22:58:00.000-05:00

Thanks everyone who has made this first year of webcomics so fun for me. A few times I thought about stopping or had trouble with the website. Invariably, someone would come out of the wood work and ask what was going on. "Where's this week's comic?" I so appreciate the support and patronage.

Special thanks to guest comic artist Paul Lisle for sending his weird little pieces every so often. I look forward to using DribbleFunkComics.com as a platform for more than just Donnie Rocket Toaster-Face. In fact, in the coming months, this site will co-sponsor a comedy festival, showcase more collaborations between my niece and I, be the basis for an in-the-works book, and may even a video or two. Donnie and the gang will continue to develop and grow. More fun to come.

This is a side project for me that I do out of simple joy. I'm glad if it brought you a moment or two of joy as well. ~BDM

This week I'm featuring a comic collaboration between myself and my five year old niece, Kylie (she would be quick to point out that she's nearly six). She did the drawing, I did the writing and a bit of Photoshop.

Back to regularly scheduled DONNIE ROCKET TOASTER-FACE next week.

So, funny story...

My computer sorta died on me this past week* and I though I purchased a cheap "make due" laptop until I can get back on my feet properly within the realm of personal technology, I am unable to load my copy of Adobe Photoshop 5.0 because, well, it's just too damn old. So, I'm using my wonderful girlfriend's computer this week to create the comic. Unfortunately, the fonts on her version of Photoshop are less extenive than mine were. This week I'll be using Helevica, because, well... yeah (sigh)...

Love to you guys, ~ Brad

I drew a strip called "LITTLE BY LITTLE" through much of the mid-1990s. Not surprisingly, it was mostly about people standing around discussing things. Figured a nice way of bringing in the new year was with a quick glance back.

Blast from the Past: J. Herbin from 2001

2010-11-22T02:06:00.001-06:00

Being on break does not = no comics! Blast from the past! In the very late 1990s and very early 2000s, long before DONNIE ROCKET TOASTER-FACE, I periodically drew a series called "THE ONGOING SAGA OF J. HERBIN." Here's one of these hard-to-find jems. At the time I was enamoured by David Lynch's THE ANGRIEST DOG IN THE WORLD strips, where the visual element from strip to strip never changed, just the words that take place off-frame.

Regularly scheduled DONNIE ROCKET will return next week.

and now... a short break

2010-11-15T02:28:00.005-06:00

Hey gang,

The continuing tales of DONNIE ROCKET TOASTER-FACE will be back Thanksgiving Week. I'm on the move from Philadelphia to New York to New Orleans this week and next, doing theatre and having adventures. ~ Brad

Dribble Funk Comics is pleased to announce that DONNIE ROCKET TOASTER-FACE, otherwise known as this webcomic site, will officially launch on May 17, 2010!

Leading up to that there will be ample reminders on all sorts of social media and such. In the works are a Face Book Page, a mailing list link, an intro video and a bunch of other "things to do" to make sure everything is all set. It's like planning for a party, but, well... digital.

If you are reading this right now, be sure to come back on Monday, May 17 and join the fun.

Thanks, ~BDM

Hello

2010-04-18T15:50:00.000-05:00

Hello there,

I'm Brad and this is soon going to be the DONNIE ROCKET TOASTER-FACE webcomic site. I am uber-excited about this, folks. I have been dithering away my time in the world of small independent theatre for the last two decades of my life and, though I love it, theatre is a lot like the rock Sisyphus rolls up the hill. You always go back to the bottom to start on the next project. I wanted to do something purely fun and enjoyable for a change, without too much pressure. So, here we are...

I drew comics years ago and have done so spottily since. My "style" is hopelessly stuck in the very "2-D" era of pen on page, and that's okay with me. I'm not out to be the slickest dude in town. I just wanna draw some funny comics, get 'em out into the world and have you read 'em. Maybe you'll laugh a bit.

I'm set to launch this site officially in late May 2010. Have to build up a little bit of reserves before I try putting something new up every week. Also, I want the site itself to be an inviting and simple and user -friendly as I can get it before I go "public." If you're reading this early post, I hope you'll come back and see what's what.

Thanks for stopping by. ~ BDM
