So this last week encompassed the trip to Austin, my birthday, and Thanksgiving with my brother’s family in St. Louis. I managed to get pretty good work done on all days save Thanksgiving itself. I honestly don’t mind working on my birthday, or holidays. I love cartooning. Anyway, work was accomplished six of the seven […]
It’s been a weekend. Saturday morning I had to catch a 7 am flight, to get me to Austin, TX, for the celebration of the life of my dear friend and colleague Andrew Hackard. I nearly missed my connecting flight, but the God of Travel was on my side, and I made it to town […]
I’d forgotten I’d committed to taking over the Overture Center’s Instagram account, today, as I’ve got a piece in their “Everything Covid” exhibit. Less work done today than I’d hoped. Staying off the internet is usually a good thing. The first actual piece of work I managed to get to wasn’t until 11:30. My best […]
Notes coming back from the proofreaders. A lot of notes. This is a good thing, of course. But I had assumed pages 1 – 160 were close to being DONE done. Most embarrassing catch? “First Edition: Published January, 2021.” John
Hello there! Welcome to what I hope will be a sort of TAO OF IGOR Countdown Journal, as I finish off the last bits and pieces (most small – one large) of the new collection. Obviously, completing THE TAO OF IGOR’s taken far longer than I could have ever imagined. TLDR: because I didn’t get […]
Over the past many years, I’ve included a lunch note for Daughter, Age 13, when she goes off to school each day. (Honestly, I’m delighted – if a bit surprised – that she still asks for them.) Usually, these are directly tied to something she’s studying, or her current fandoms. The first two weeks of […]
In three days, I attempt Insane Charity Bike Ride 2020. Now with a duck on my head. (We passed the $10,000 mark). Possibly with two. Another insanity – I failed to post about it here, on DorkTower.com! Though most of my blogging will be over at the Dork Tower Patreon page, I blame #PandemicBrain. So here is the […]
DORK TOWER has been running in Game Trade Magazine for well over 100 monthly issues, now. This month, based on the strip, I created a “For Your Safety” poster, that stores could pull out and hang up. In case you don’t want to rip up your Game Trade Magazine, or should you want more than […]

There’s some long-awaited good news on the backer rewards front, but first… Today is “Thank You Patrons” Day, which I suppose is the “Talk Like A Pirate” day of crowdfunding. It’s been a bit of a down week, for me. Some professional disappointments, a family loss. I like to think I never take my Patron […]
