First: Lotsa new The Good, the Bad and the Munchkin art behind the jump. So, jump away… **** So. Because LiveJournal MySpace and Suicide Girls …just wasn’t enough, I’ve also started up accounts at: Comicspace and Facebook So, yeah…like, friend away… Like I don’t have enough junk to keep track of already. **** Just got […]

Back home now. The Lovely and Talented Judith and I stayed in Minneapolis an extra night, in part because there were severe storms all the way dfown along our drive back, but mostly because CONvergence 2007 was so very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY good, we really wanted to hang out with the con […]

CONvergence is nearly upon us, he said, coming up for air long enough to realize just how close the deadline for The Good, The Bad and the Munchkin is (it’s not so much breathing down my neck as giving me a really nasty hickey). Looking at my calendar, which I don’t do nearly often enough, […]

This is probably one for the FAQ: Dear John Kovalic I am ten years old and really like your drawing. I draw my own monsters and strange creatures, but I really like your cartooning and would like to learn how to draw like you. Please can you teach me how? I am a big fan […]

I believe it was George Harrison who first said “DON’T give the cat Chee-tos, Honey!” No. Wait a second. That was Judith. Yup. That was definitely Judith. Anyway, I’m comfortably sure that at some point it was Harrison who said “All things must pass.” And in that spirit, I finished my last cartoon for Dragon […]

So here I am, watching the Jam on YouTube when I probably should be doing something else. And I come across two “Going Underground” takes. One of which I haven’t seen in 30-odd years. I remember when “Going Underground” went straight to #1 in the UK, and Top of the Pops played its music video […]

Did I mention new cartoons starting this week? I’ll be trying to keep them at LEAST three times a week from here on out. It’s been a bit painful, being too busy with other things to post on a regular basis. Ideally, I’d like to work my way up to doing the comic strips daily, […]

I’m happy to report I finished the last of the Munchkin Cthulhu II: Call of Cowthulhu art today, and I’m WAY happy with how it turned off. From a purely personal perspective, some of the cards here are amongst those I’d count as my best work. I’m as happy with these as anything I’ve done. […]

A couple of hellacool online developments. The first is that Out of the Box just put up an online Cineplexity Demo. As if we didn’t need MORE ways to waste time online. It’s terrific fun. I just linked “Dysfunctional Family” with “Is or Has a Sequel” using “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith.” It […]
