That question has plagued me for YEARS... What the hell is a Bubblerock?
For years and years Dan has plugged Bubblerock endlessly... when he'd send Joey, Mark and I packages in the mail - which would contain lots of interesting goodies, such as news clippings about various things that mutually interested us, like The Beatles, Famous Monsters, David Bowie, The Kinks, Jerry Lewis, The Muensters, The Banana Splits, Rankin Bass - you know, ALL OUR USUAL OBSESSIONS... he'd include a drawing of one of his characters (either Botro Robot or Ka Ka Kat) with a word balloon going to the mouth which read "Bubblerock is Coming!" "Bubblerock is Great!" "Bubblerock is Out Of Sight!" - or something to that effect, sometimes just "Bubblerock!" - but there was NEVER an explanation of what Bubblerock WAS.
It would SEEM Bubblerock was (more or less) an idea... a make-believe company... an all encompassing "project" that somehow pulled all of these mindless tangents under one umbrella. When Dan began exploring avenues made available to him via social media, primarily Facebook and Youtube - Bubblerock was often peddled to the masses using the unsolicited images of various celebrities like Susan Dey and Rene Zellweger - two particular subjects of Dan's undying adoration.
But Dan's calvalcade of unwitting celebrity "endorsements" just muddied the waters further. His adverts featured the likes of Martin Short's Ed Grimley, The Cowsills, Laurel and Hardy, ABBA, Melody Valentine of Josie and The Pussycats... what did these varying entities, living and dead, actual and make believe, have to do with each other?
Possibly nothing... nothing at all...
So I began not only questioning Bubblerock with Dan, but outright protesting it! Below are just a FEW of the many, many memes I've sent to Dan over the years... sometimes he'd laugh, sometimes he'd ignore them, sometimes they'd be removed from his Facebook page as soon as they went up...
