THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, Madison’s self-hating Toys-R-Us asked the question “Why Shop For Toys? WHY?” (no – really it did)… A bit existential, for a toy store. Particularly a big-box one. Still, questioning the reason for one’s existence is seldom a bad thing… (The covered-up bit reads “Anywhere Else.” Design and placement matter, people!) – [...]
It’s taken a few days for this all to sink in… It’s not my birthday, yet – that comes this next Saturday, the day after “Black Friday,” disturbingly enough. Black indeed. Alas, alack, I never have done birthdays well… Last Saturday, though, my wonderful, gorgeous, remarkable wife threw me a 50th birthday party, at [...]

Which seems like a bit of a long-shot, let’s be honest. That being the case…how would you like a download of the CthulWHO [...]
Thirty years ago, more or less, I drew my first true gaming comic. It was based on the little black books of the Traveller roleplaying game – my perenial favorite. I drew it for a ‘zine based in London, Alien Star. Alien Star was created by a chap who ran the Minifigs store near…um…Victoria, [...]
YOUR DICE REALLY DO HATE YOU! Don’t think of it as a mug…think of it as a Dice Cup! To hold all your dice. That hate you. **** I will probably regret suggesting that someone on Twitter should start up an @WisconsinDalek account. But to help it along, I photoshopped this. BTW: I’m @Muskrat_John [...]
