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 [...]
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
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Right…so apparently some silly person nominated Dork Tower for the Big Dance, and I’m up against the very good Cucumber Quest in the first round of March Webcomics Madness. Me? I’m just glad I’m not in the Heavyweight – I’m sorry, I mean “Moldoff” – division. You know, the one that hosts PVP, Penny Arcade, [...]
I hate over-thinking cartoons and I particularly hate overthinking cartoons that I simply have to realize aren’t my best…and then just walk away, knowing a much stronger cartoon is coming on Friday. But I’m not like that. A cartoon that’s not my best will gnaw at me, and even though I fully realize it will [...]
Want to be a hero, AND come away from it with some nifty swag? My good friends at DriveThruComics.com have a rather spectacular bundle of comics this week – $95 worth of digital comics, in fact – many by some of the top names in the industry. But here’s the brilliant bit – you can [...]
This is what I posted eleven years ago, when I found out about Douglas Adam’s death. It seems an odd thing to post today, the date of what would have been his 60th birthday, but it’s heartfelt, and sometimes “heartfelt” is enough. Like so many of us, his life and works were hugely influential on [...]
Something big work-wise has come up, and it looks like I’ll not be going to the GAMA Trade Show after all, I fear. I’ll miss my pals there a ton. But on the plus side: it’s FUN work. That said, don’t expect to shake my hand by month’s end. It’ll be in a v. weakened [...]
