Holy cow! We’ve had reports of Dr. Blink #1 sales being good…very good… Now we’ve found out that Diamond Comics Distribution has sold out already, like, twelve HOURS after the book hit the stands! And we were pretty darn happy with Diamond’s initial order to begin with! Diamond’s promised us more purchase orders. We’ve also […]

Monday’s cartoon was obviously written before news of Hunter S. Thompson’s suicide had reached me. Damn. I wonder if this means the end for Uncle Duke…? Gary Trudeau strikes me as the kinda guy who I could see killing him off (like, permanantly this time) at some unspecified point in the future… John <p

I don’t, as a rule, like snow. Well, I don’t like living where it snows, that much. At least when it’s snowing. You can always fly to where it’s snowing, is my rule of thumb. You don’t need it on your doorstep. But I like this snow. Great, wet, ungainly, tumbling clumps of snow are […]

The Big Announcement ™: Starting immediately, the Dork Tower comic book will be Full Color for the foreseeable future. Gads, I hope this works out. I’m pretty scared about it, but also pretty excited. The price will rise to $3.49 with issue #32 (issue #31 will be $2.99, as originally solicited), but if we get […]

Dr. Blink #1 is IN DA HOUSE! FedEx just dropped off five copies for me. Two copies are now FedExing their way to Chris and Melissa. I am so over-the-moon happy with it, I don’t have words. There were so many delays in getting issue #1 out (mostly due to the move to color) right […]

Super Bowl Sunday. Shrove Tuesday yesterday. Mardi Gras last night. Chinese new year tonight. Valentine’s Day Monday. Who needs a Holiday Season when early February has suddenly become, like, the hot, hot, HOT. **** Anyway, illness aside, I whipped up a pretty mean jambalaya last night for Judith, as we settled in for a relaxed […]

Still sick. Stomach virus or something now. Gaaaah. I can’t remember when I’ve ever been this ill for this long… But new Dork Towers start up again at DorkTower.com tomorrow (Wednesday). Thanks for all the kind words on The Unspeakable Oaf, which has been filling in for a bit. If I can find the right […]

Still in London. Trying not to buy TONS of, like, books and stuff. By which I mean, “books.” Flying back Sunday. Miss Judith SO much. Gah. I am worthless and weak. But madly in love. Got my usual post-con illness and skludge. But I think that’s more to do with London’s weather than Warpcon at […]

The BIG NEWS: Dork Tower #30 goes to press Tuesday. It will be in full color! Yes, color. Meaning (obviously) Dork Tower will be in color…(less obviously) Dr. Blink and Lethargic Lad will be in color…it’s ALL in color…Now if I can just add color to the letters page…hmmmmmm….. This is my “thank you” to […]

Getting ready for Warpcon next weekend…and fekin’ shite, am I excited! So anyhoo, the comics will only be updated at dorktower.com Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for the next three weeks. As soon as I return, they should go back to five days a week. And speaking of Warpcon… …if anyone has any contact info for […]
