Barkeater Lake is a webcomic by cartoonist Corey Pandolph, originally published by United Media[1] as part of its Comics.com website[2] from early 2004[3] through January 5, 2007.
[7] The ensemble strip, taking place in the titular small Adirondack Mountains town in New York state, revolves around the surreal, picaresque misadventures of big-city expatriate Delores Tanzini, eccentric locals, and the two owner-proprietors of local gathering spot Chuck's Bar: Chuck, a former Olympics bobsled contender and coach, and Banks, a jaded and erudite anthropomorphic dog.
Recurring characters include Delores' mother, the vodka-sipping evil mastermind Sabrina Tanzini; Sabrina's ex-husband and present butler, Winston; and what is eventually revealed, after several guest appearances, as hallucinations involving the fallen angel Satan, tired of his career and looking to settle down.
[9] Following Barkeater Lake, Pandolph created the online and print-syndicated comic strips TOBY: Robot Satan a.k.a.
[10][12][13] In October 2005 Pandolph and fellow United Media cartoonist Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine) auctioned signed original Sunday strips on eBay to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
