FIRST OFF: Point of business. I’ll be at MAKER FAIRE, Bay Area, this Saturday and Sunday, with the Geek Dad crew! Seek me out! I am VERY excited about this one. I may be starting to become a bit of a convention recluse, but I had so much fun at Maker Faire, last year, I [...]

Keep Calm and Blah Blah Blah
OH, I thought they were as charming as everyone else did, a year or two ago. That said… How I now see every single “Keep Calm” poster – parody or otherwise – ever: John

The Daily Cardinal and other Birds – Avian Week continues
This coming weekend marks the 120th birthday of the UW-Madison Daily Cardinal, one of the oldest student newspapers in the country, and the paper that launched me on the patch to my career.

A Modest Proposal
Fully believing we should leave the world a better place than when we entered (and I entered it in 1962, so the bar is pretty low, there, but nevertheless), I have an idea. It’s a small thing, yes, but I believe its impact towards minimizing violence, hatred and human suffering would be great. Cars should [...]
Special Director’s Cut Extended Edition Extra!
Here’s Friday’s cartoon as it originally ran. I came up with what I considered to be a stronger execution of it, late last night. I pulled a Lucas. I have altered the comic. Pray I do not alter it further… John

The League of Extraordinary Gentlegamers
Friday’s DORK TOWER features the return of the League of Extraordinary Gentlegamers. When I went to look up the original League strips, it shocked me that the its first appearance was nearly ten years ago. TEN! My heavens, that seems such a long time ago. Where did I put my glasses? It all started in [...]

The Munchkin Cavalry is coming!
If you pop over to the Steve Jackson Games site, you’ll notice there is another big Munchkin release this month: The Good, The Bad and the Munchkin 2: Beating a Dead Horse. “What’s this?” you ask. To quote Steve Jackson Games: “A Horse Is A Horse . . . A corpse, of course! The rowdiest [...]

Comixmix March Webcomics Madness Update
Right…so so DORK TOWER made it through to round two of the March Webcomics Madness. After eking (should that be “EEK-ing?) out a win over Cucumber Quest, we’re up against the behemoth – literally AND figuratively – of the most wonderful Dinosaur Comics (one of my favorites). Vote, why don’cha? (It’s the last bracket of [...]
