Marriage Proposal in a Box She thought she was playing a party game…but he had much bigger plans! MADISON, Wisconsin – People say romance can be a game, but nowhere was this truer than when Bill Becker got engaged to girlfriend Ashleigh…with the help of their favorite party game: Apples to Apples. Bill wanted to […]

For the next three weeks, I fear the online cartoon will be updated Tuesdays and Thursdays only. This is primarily due to Dr. Blink #2, Dork Tower 31 and Go, Dork! Go! – The Collected Dork Tower Vol. VIII needing to get to press, or already being there. Plus the fifth reprint of Dork Covenant […]

Obviously, there was too much going on this week for me to pop over to Cosmic Enounter Online, and try out The Dork, aka Igor. (I note that at the moment, he graces the home page). But a nice note came in from Peter Oltaka, on all the folks from hereabouts who DID get over […]

Marcon musings to follow soon. The convention was great, but my mood was gloomy. Our cherished Cleopatra cat passed away at 3:20 am, Friday morning, in Judith and my arms…an hour before I was to head to the airport. She had been in the hospital for a week, and the doctors could find nothing conclusive. […]

So anyhoo, I’ll be in Columbus, Ohio this weekend for MarCon’s 40th Birthday Celebration. Although I’m the Comic Book Guest of Honor, I’m also a Gaming Special Guest, and I’ll have tons of Out of the Box goodness with me. I’m hoping to have the latest prototype of Cineplexity on hand, to give that some […]

OK…THIS is kinda one of those one of a kind, unbelievable cool things that happen from time to time in life. Igor has just become an official Cosmic Encounter alien! Yes…THE Cosmic Enounter! It took a few YEARS for The DORK to find its way to Cosmic Online. But it JUST arrived as alien #30 […]

Comments: Can’t we have one form of entertainment kept free of your liberal bilge? You boasted on your blog that you kept your politics out […]

I just did the rough math. Taking into account repeats, and guest artist spots, my personal total is now: Munchkin – 168 or so cards Star Munchkin – 165 or so cards Munchkin Bites – 165 or so cards Super Munchkin – 165 or so cards Munchkin II – 110 or so cards Munchkin III […]

The indefatiguable John Wick, has just published DICORDIA, a seemingly wonderful bit of roleplaying weirdness, online. You can download it HERE. I probably won’t get a chance to go through it for a while, yet — much busy-ness here in Madison. Bit it looks v. cool. And Scarlett Johansson makes a hot Eris. So, like, […]

Dang it. I’m doing the right thing, by posting that my pal Scott Bateman has seven incredibly cool original paintings for sale on e-bay at the moment. Full info HERE, Chester. But I hate myself for posting this because, like, I’m bidding on some of ’em. Still, it’s for a great cause (ie, Scott’s rent), […]
