Fan Art Thursday!
From time to time, folks send me fan art. Not sure why they do, but I always get a kick out of seeing other artists’ and readers’ take on my characters. Here’s a really terrific piece by Jason Janes and Phil Gavigan: Click on the image (OR CLICK HERE) to see a larger version of [...]
Keep Calm and Blah Blah Blah: The Poster
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 [...]

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.

My Weekend – PLUS: Sneak Secret Project Peek!
The upcoming weekend is turning out to be a bit of a busy one, for me. Though I’m still hoping to take some weekend off, soon, following the marathon that the Munchkin Apocalypse game art became, it obviously won’t be this one. But Apocalypse is all in the past now. Done, done, DONE! Stick [...]

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 [...]
