Muskrat Ramblings

After linking to Paizo.com as the place to pick up My Little Cthulhu and Angry Limited Edition My Little Cthulhu, should your FLGS not have it in… …folks have been greeted with news that a “Major Announcement” would be coming down the pike. Moments later, the announcement’s been posted. I knew about this a little […]

Just did a quick count. I estimated I did “30 or 40” foreign language edition Munchkin cards the other day, and used the “30” number for the estimate. In actual fact, as far as I can tell, I’ve done 64 foreign language cards. So right now, it looks like the total number of Munchkin cards […]

I was perusing the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists website, distressed at the number of really bad cartoons concerning the Virginia Tech massacre that were posted this morning. Now, while a few greats of the field regularly add their cartoons to the AAEC website, many more don’t. Which is a shame, and gives the pages […]

I’ve illustrated six full Munchkin games: Munchkin; Star Munchkin; Munchkin Bites!; Super Munchkin; Munchkin Impossible and now Munchkin Cthuhu. At about 168 cards each, that makes 1,008 cards. I’ve illustrated eight Munchkin supplements; Munchkin 2; Munchkin 3; Munchkin 4; Munchkin 5; Star Munchkin 2; Munchkin Bites 2; Super Munchkin 2; and Munchkin Blender. At around […]

Losing two personal heroes as well this week just makes me appreciate what they gave me that much more, […]

My cartoon for Milwaukee’s Daily Reporter this week. They wanted something on the rise of foreclosures in Wisconsin’s housing market. I had other things on my mind. 65-12″ predicted for today. Gaaaah. Is it beautiful? Yes. But so are “Planet Earth” super-slo-mo pictures of a Great White Shark chowing down on a Harp Seal, and […]

Dork Tower 36 should be shipping to distributors this week, and I sent off the pages to my pal Wil Wheaton, who’s got quite a large guest-starring appearance this issue. Quite large. His response? OMG page 7 made me hurt myself and scare my dogs, I was laughing so hard. What’s your policy on copying […]

An ill-timed fit of Spring Cleaning (ill-timed because it’s put me back a couple of days in actual…you know…paying work) has nevertheless begun to yield some results. My original artwork, which was in danger of crushing the poor chipboard bookcase my dad built for my closet a decade and a half ago, is at least […]
