The Rockvilles enlist Mitch Clem (Nothing Nice To Say) to do artwork for their upcoming EP

Contributed by PoorBoy. Posted by Justin on Sunday, August 27, 2006 at 4:25 PM (EDT)

Popular webcomic artist Mitch Clem will be doing the artwork for the Rockvilles' Ready To Rumble EP. Clem is the artist behind Nothing Nice To Say and San Antonio Rock City.

PoorBoy Records recently announced the re-release of Ready To Rumble along with a brand new EP, Danger. Both will be released late fall 2006.

You can check out a few tracks from Ready To Rumble on the band's MySpace.

Clem also recently announced the return of NN2S, which has been plagued with starts and stops in it's scant four-year existence. Clem similarly resurrected the comic late last year, the results of which ended sometime in late January.

you dont have to explain...but someone else could please...

Someone (August 27, 2006)

Mitch Clem has done several comics about O Pioneers, and has on several occasions stated how much he likes them. Every time punknews.org posts news about O Pioneers, someone comments something to the effect of "Mitch Clem is stoked."

GottaItch (August 27, 2006)

It took me two times over to get it, but I have gotten the joke and I have laughed a hearty laugh.

Kenjamin (August 27, 2006)

Someone (August 27, 2006)

FUCK! I was really hoping no one beat me to that joke.

and in other news.....the next millennium will see a new Nothing Nice strip actually happen instead of just being talked about. Pigs might also fly.

Whoever wins should tell him to draw a new NN2S strip.

MikeStupid (August 27, 2006)

If he hadn't just announced that more are coming. I need to think my wisecracks through before I start blathering.

Someone (August 27, 2006)

You know he's not really going to update it.

He never does. :(

P-Fresh (August 27, 2006)

Without a recycled joke, maybe?

If he ever resurrects NN2S, and does ONE MORE "smashing the state" strip, damn man.

P-Fresh (August 27, 2006)

if he ever = when

Someone (August 27, 2006)

I wanna win it and find the most complicated thing to draw ever.

Like a page from Wheres Waldo in the style of McEscher. That would be fun...

Someone (August 27, 2006)

Just have him draw a shitload of cars and flowers. He hates them.

colin (August 27, 2006)

not that i'm not stoked for mitch and i'm glad nn2s is back, this isn't really news.

Someone (August 27, 2006)

Nice. I love The Rockvilles.

FuckYouOiOiOi (August 27, 2006)

Someone (August 27, 2006)

There's a "submit news" button up at the top of the page for a reason, buddy.

FuckYouOiOiOi (August 27, 2006)

Someone (August 27, 2006)

Then it probably sucks.

JTravolta (August 27, 2006)

My favorites are "fuck society", "anarchist song", "Gimme my weed back you pig", and of course how could I forget "a tale of two titties".

you're the best joke account ever.

Mute98 (August 27, 2006)

DipshitDave (August 27, 2006)

SteveJonesTheRealBones (August 27, 2006)

Someone (August 27, 2006)

I have a really random question. There's a band called "Radio Days" on the Short Music For Short People cd who have a decent ska-punk song. Do they have any other recorded output? Beyond that song I can't find a word about them anywhere online.

Mitch Clem could "do" my "artwork" anytime, if you know what I mean, and I think you do ;)

NN2S back again is happy news. Until he goes on hiatus again three days later.

He probably already went on hiatus yesterday.

Aaron, you jerk. Some day I'm going to bring you to with me to MD to see them, just because you don't want to. Or maybe I'll book a show and put The Emersons & The Rockvilles on it. HAH.

Love,
Justine

AaronEmerson (August 28, 2006)

Hey, I never said they were awful. We're just better. At least based on the myspace stuff.

Someone (August 28, 2006)

as much as i love Mitch Clem, i would rather have someone else draw my album over. like a painting of a sword fighting a gun.
