Do you think you’re “nerdy” enough to be in an Ouro Bros. comic strip?  This is pretty last minute, and I have already sent out some confusing tweets about this, as I collected my ideas on how to do it, but if you are reading this on Sunday August 22, 2010, and want to have your likeness used in caricature as a nerdy store clerk in an upcoming OB strip, please send up to 3 photos of your face to (theourobros AT gmail DOT com).  I will review submissions by the end of the day, and choose the best fit (male or female).  You may end up in a strip, if you’re quick about it and submit photos today, Sunday August 22, 2010.  Thanks for reading!

It’s Another Ouro Bros. Domain!

In case you ever enter theourobros.com instead of ourobros.com in your web browser, they both will now take you to the same place.  That is because today we also registered theourobros.com as an additional way to get to the same bucket of weekly strips about two dudes on a tour… FOREVER!  Watch out, other Internet URL suffixes!  We may be coming for you next.  Soon, you will all be absorbed and assimilated into The Ouro Borg, I mean Bros.

So, it’s been great getting feedback from all of you each week on twitter (via @thebestjeremy and @zoidland) and Facebook, as well as the comments that have been popping up on the site as well!  Please feel free to post a comment on the site the next time you stop by to look at a comic.  We would love to open up discussion with our viewers right on the site itself (what site? why, either theourobros.com or ourobros.com, of course!).  Together, we can make this website an even funner place than it already is!  That’s right, I said funner.  Until next time…

Seatings and Growlutations

Just wanted to say a big “thank you” to everyone who came by the comic strip yesterday and gave us feedback throughout the day to our twitter accounts, facebook, etc.  It was great to see friends and neighbors responding so positively to our collaborative endeavor.  We are so excited that the adventure has begun, and have so much in store for all of you!  This is an idea that I have been transmogrifying in my mind for years now, and am so glad I have Jeff’s writing talent to focus it into strip format.

A huge thank you goes out to two people in particular, who set up blog posts to coordinate with the Ouro Bros. release.  First, Andi Cumbo put together a great interview blog post, which can be found on her literary blog here:

And our good friend Ken Mueller wrote a great post on social media and how it brings creative folks together to collaborate on projects such as this one.  Here is Ken’s post on the Inkling Media site:

Thank you also to our friends, wives, and other folks who re-tweeted throughout the day and drove people to check out the comic for its “christening”.  Please keep checking back with us weekly, here at Ouro Bros. Central, for the continuing tour adventures of Stan and Balthazar!

Greetings and Salutations

As this is the beginning of The Ouro Bros. and the Neverending Tour, we thought it might be a good idea to introduce both ourselves and the strip.

First, the strip: For full information about Stan and Balthazar Ouro, feel free to hit the About page. The minimum you need to know, though, is this: With a little bit of cash, a van, a guitar, a drum set, and a dream, they have set out to…well, do that dream thing I just mentioned.

As for us, I’m Jeff, the chief writer. I also write and draw the comic strips Zoidland (at Zoidland.com), and The Social Life of Frank and Linh (which appears on Ken Mueller’s Inkling Media blog). I also edit the Gloaming Gap short story site, so my gradual takeover of all media is off and running.

Oh, and my partner is Jeremy. He, like, draws. And stuff.
