Gerry Anderson passed away, today, according to the Guardian. He was 83 years old. A 1970s Thunderbird 2 Dinky was one of my favorite toys, ever. I mean, seriously, yes: Thunderbirds; UFO; Captain Scarlet; Stingray; et al. But that toy…that toy…to me, Thunderbird 2 was as beautiful as a Spitfire, or a Mustang. It was […]
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 […]
Here’s something I drew, yesterday. For something new. That could be Kobold-related. In fact, possibly a FEW Kobold-related things to talk about, soon. But not now. Not now. In the meantime…in the meantime…I’m drawing new art. For…something. ALL HAIL KING TORG! here’s another sketch I’m working on. NEW KOBOLDY GOODNESS IS NOT JUST A ONE-OFF, […]
Dork Tower is 15 years old! For the rest of the week, every digital comic at DriveThruComics.com is half price! There’s no better time to join the Army of Dorkness! Over the past two years, our friends at DriveThru have worked diligently to get the earlier comics and trades up. For the first time in […]
Late this past August, I was hit with the kind of enquiry most professionals, I believe, dread. Here it is. In full. First off, thank you for taking the time to read this. So, I have an idea for a table top game and am clueless on how to proceed with it. I was […]
Remember THIS Dork Tower? So, apparently, the BBC owns the trademark on Police Boxes, or somesuch. Meaning I can’t make anything with CthulWHO and the Police Box unless it’s licensed officially. 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 […]
So there’s this… VERY rough sketch i did, in the car. Will finish it up soon – John
