HEY RYAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UPDATING? DON'T YOU USUALLY ONLY POST NEW COMICS WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO PROMOTE?
That is completely untrue, and frankly I am offended by the accusation
In completely unrelated news, I have a new comic over on Zuda this month! If it gets enough votes, I get hired by DC Comics to turn it into a regular series. So I'd really appreciate you taking a look, and if you like what you see, sign up and vote for me!
If enough of you do, I might just update this comic a couple more times this month as thanks!

| Frank's been laid off! |
[Apr. 1st, 2009|11:13 am] |
You haven't heard much from Frank: The Comic lately. That's because I'm afraid that Frank's been laid off. But stayed tuned to this space for a new comic, The Adventures of Tom and Twitty!
Oh, and Box Brown, the creator of that last awesome guest strip, has a new book coming out! Like in bookstores and everything, not some lousy print on demand thing no one buys like this comic! check it! |

| Guest Strip by Box Brown |
[Nov. 4th, 2008|09:18 pm] |
Here's an guest strip by Box Brown! He's pretty internet famous, so you may have seen his work on Bellen! before, but just recently he started a new comic called AmeriCan't! And now you know the rest of the story.
And because LJ needs something else to talk about besides that thing that is happening in the USA today, a game.
Every comment you post here must be ten words long. |

And thus concludes The Tag. Happy Halloween.
Well, now that The Tag is done, will there be another issue of Frank: The Comic? I don't know! There's an awesome guest comic coming up next week from Brian Brown, and if anyone else wants to do a guest strip or guest art you're more than welcome. New guest strips will appear when I get them and new strips from me will come when I feel like it.
If you must "defriend" the journal due to it's lack of an update schedule, feel free but then you'll never know when new comics are coming! |

Wow, it's every character I've ever unceremoniously killed off in the course of the comic!
Okay, no one understands what is going on in the comic so here goes: The Tag was deleted. Therefore, he unpossesses the gang, and is pulled down to Hell by ghosts. It just so happens that these ghosts are Hare (who was killed off earlier in this story), Frank's brother Hank(who was killed off in Ballad), and the boss guy (who was killed off in Mystery). The reasons for this will be explained in the next strip. |

 The book for The Tag is now available in the store, just to make the collection complete. If I had gotten it done a while ago, I could have suggested that you could buy the ebook and find out how the story ends before anyone else, but since we're so close to the end anyway, I might as well just tell you the ending. Everybody dies. Of scurvy.
Also: It should be noted that while I'm happy to make fun of delete-happy wiki editors when a comic calls for it, and although I'm part of a community (webcomics) who have been very vocal about the unfairness of being deleted, and a victim of the same (the above quote about being just under the bar of notability was from my own wikipedia page's deletion process), I am actually on the side of the deleters.
 While many may wikipedia editors may not be able to explain their intentions well, or even have the right intentions, I read an interview once that made sense. It said that like it or not, people all over the world use Wikipedia for school papers, so it had better be at LEAST as well researched as a school paper. And with most webcomics, there just aren't enough sources to compile a paper. In most cases, the only source of information is the webcomic site itself. When a webcomic doesn't get an article, that doesn't mean it isn't important, just that there aren't enough sources to write one yet. At least Frank: The Comic gets a Wikipedia mention! |

Hey! Would anyone be interested in drawing a guest comic to run here after The Tag ends? If so, details in the first comment. |

Over on my main LJ, my other comic Aki Alliance is also updating twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday.
And I should also mention the Cartoon Commune, where you can order a custom comic book of your own. There's a big site overhaul coming soon, and I'm bringing on a whole bunch of great artists. We're even going to be offering custom animation and music. If you're interested in anything that isn't on the site yet, you can let me know! |

Hey, remember Newbie?
So the whole book thing didn't work out as well as I'd envisioned. I figured that the right to make books was worth pushing for, since back in the day I was getting like 7 e-mails a day from people asking when they could buy books. I wasn't sure if that demand would continue, since I hadn't updated the comic in so long. But I was curious to find out! Well, the number of customers purchasing books.... one. |

And finally, Frank is back for the long awaited conclusion to "The Tag". The comic will be updating Wednesdays and Fridays until Halloween. I don't know what will happen after that.
If you want to catch up on the first 17 pages, you can read it all in one sitting here. Or, check the first comment for a concise explanation. |

Hello everyone! Yes, The Tag is still set to resume in October, I just thought I would post a little bonus strip today to go along with some news.
As many of you know, the future of this comic has been up in the air for a while, because of LiveJournal being sold. I finally got word back from LiveJournal about the future of the comic. They said I'm free to continue as long as I don't refer to this as the official comic of LiveJournal anymore. It's a bit weird to be downgraded from the official cartoonist of LJ, but this gives me much more freedom.
The good news though, is that I can finally release books! Yes, I know they're expensive, such is the downside of print on demand when it comes to color books. But so many people asked, that I have obliged. Click the preview images to go to the bookstore:
 
Would you like a free copy? Here's a scavenger hunt: There are 70 comics by me premiering on the internet today (the above comic included). Whoever finds and lists the most of them in the comments wins the book of their choice! |

| Frank the Comic will return on October 7th! |
[May. 19th, 2008|04:10 pm] |
With the recent reshuffling of LiveJournal, it's been hard to correspond with anyone about the future of Frank the Comic... especially since I don't know who to correspond WITH anymore. But I've decided that Frank will return this fall, and his unfinished horror story "The Tag" will be done by Halloween. |

| Not dead, just overhibernating. |

Yes, the comic has been delayed a lot longer than I said it would. Since going full time as an artist, I've had so many projects going that I haven't been able to get the comic up and rolling again. But The Tag will be concluded.... sometime. |

Troll listens to Noosehead.
In about 24 hours, I'll be off and mostly incommunicado for the rest of the year as I road trip around India, and film episodes of my upcoming adventure show!
Everyone here who hasn't already done so, please send me mission ideas! More info here.
I'm gonna try my darnedest tomorrow morning to get 2 more Frank comics done and off to someone who can post them for me, but if not I apologize in advance if any updates are missed. |

As of right now, none of the butler's 'sponsored links' seem to be real sites, but if some domain parking company buys them up after I post this, this comic does not imply an endorsement of them. Although if someone does buy a domain just because I mentioned it in a comic, I would know I've made it.
Could anyone name all of the website mascots that the butler had targeted for extermination along his back wall in last week's comic (that I recently uploaded an updated version of)? Or better yet, can anyone name any website mascots I forgot? |

Thus concludes "I'm Sorry I didn't Update For a Month Guilt Week", regularly weekly updates will return on Thursday. Once I turn to comics full time next year, I hope to be able to update much more often and much more regularly. |

Judging by some of the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/newsinfo.gif) news comments I've read, some may consider those two options to be pretty much the same thing.
Look at lil' Fran, all growed up and cursed by evil demons. But wait, if you can only save one person, and Frank has been tagged twice..... |
