Muskrat Ramblings

I’m furiously getting stuff finished off for the big Cineplexity world premier, this Saturday at 2:30 pm, at the Wisconsin Film Festival. In the meantime, given the subject matter, here’s another film that’ll be showing I thought might be of interest. MUSKRAT LOVELY (plays with Ferry Tales ) USA, 2005, 58 min, Color, digibeta Midwest […]

New cartoons start up again Monday. Honest. Plus, another cool April Fool’s week is instore, for those of you who remember last year’s storyline. **** In the mean time… So I’m trying to limit myself to no more than one or two non-Out of the Box or Munchkin gaming gigs per year, now. Here’s news […]

Awake now, after a redeye flight back from Las Vegas to Madison. Much work to do. But – YAY – new cartoons start on the web site tomorrow! For anyone going to Vegas, let me highly recommend the following (or at least two of the three, since one will soon no longer be there), if […]

Hey, gang, I received this e-mail from Scott “Igor” Olman yesterday, regarding the posting of info on his wedding to Dawn. John, I’m so shocked! the responses has been overwhelming, and Dawn could not believe it. I will be spending a lot of time sending thank you’s to all these people. But everyone who bought […]

Here…HERE, Herr Pramas, is the start of what you will be facing (and most likely maulling) in two weeks’ time. I used to be a good minis painter. But, unlike riding a bike, it does not stay with you if you leave it go for too long. I used to be a good minis painter. […]

Every now and then, a very worthwhile comic book needs your support. This is one such instance. I received an e-mail from Gary Beatty, at comicartistdirect.com. I’ll just reprint the e-mail in full, as this just about says it all. Hello, everybody. I’ve never sent a mass email asking friends to consider subscribing to a […]

Over at the Dork Tower LiveJournal feed, someone posted a comment about “shameless recycling” of today’s strip. (Not in a mean way, I hasten to add). I’m, afraid, until I can actually sit up and draw again on a regular basis, though, there’ll be a week or two of repeats. Somethings very wrong with my […]

Been in a tremendous amount of localized pain this week. Re-aggrivated my lower back, which spread down my left leg. Finally got in to see both an acupunturist and my doc yeterday. So I’m semi-mobile again. Still, it hurts to even walk. But I’m sick of laying on the couch. I can sit upright for […]
