Friday’s cartoon will be a bit late. I hope to have it up by 1 pm, Central US time. I’m just sayin’, is all… ***** It’s been an exhausting couple of weeks, but with luck, the schedule should become a bit more manageable soon. Oh. Wait. I forgot. DORKSTOCK UK will officially be happening Dec. […]

I’m still amazed at the deadlines that were met this week, and I’m still exhausted, and there’s still lots more exhausting work to get done TODAY. But here’s the Big New of the Day. I’ll be back at Dragonmeet at last! Saturday, December 4, Dragonmeet bills itself as London’s friendliest games convention, and I’d have […]

“The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved.” – JOHN ASHCROFT, the attorney general, in his resignation letter. So… Mission accomplished? But…but they told us theere were WOLVES after us! ***** Working. LOTS of work. Thanks to everyone for posting their Reasons To Be Cheerful on my blog. […]

OK. I’m officially excited now! As you may be able to suss from the spiffy ad over on the left, THE BIG ISSUE’S COMING, FOLKS! Dork Tower 29: Bug your local games and/or comics stores for it NOW! AND important stuff happens, as far as three certain characters are concerned! Promise! And I mean BIG, […]

I will just mention what I’m glad about, and then I will get back to work. _____ In the background: I’m glad I have too much work to do today, so I can’t think about the election too much. I’m glad I tried to help with a few things this election, and not just draw […]

You can cut the tension I’m feeling with a knife. Pluck it, and I believe it’s C sharp. It’s been a freaky weird series of days. Halloween stuff to report, but I need to make sure I write it well. Fab, fantastic, fun, horrific, nightmarish. It’s some story. And by the way… Get out the […]

NOTE: Political stuff follows the jump in this Rambling. Avoid if so inclined. Seriously. I don’t even LIKE writing about politics, so I’ve no idea why you’d want to READ this… I’m not sure why the LiveJournal DorkTower feed is down, or at least is no longer updating the ‘toons, but it’s kinda a drag, […]

John Peel is dead. Veteran BBC broadcaster John Peel has died at the age of 65, while on holiday in Peru. Peel, whose radio career spanned 40 years, was on a working holiday in the resort of Cuzco with his wife Sheila when he suffered a heart attack. He was BBC Radio 1’s longest-serving DJ […]

OK…testing…testing… Or should I say “editing…editing…” Grin. And, of course…I can’t leave well enough alone… Man, I love learning new things with Photoshop Image Ready. Sweet, sweet Tween function…how little money I will make because of you this week… **** Re: Thursday’s Cartoon I’ve started updating and adding some of my own LiveJournal icons, thanks […]

Monday, I went over to Badger Poker, a Madison tourney that meets four nights a week. I’ve been a bit trepidatious about this, even though the games are free (sponsors provide the prizes). (Surprisingly, my sucky spell-checker doesn’t have the word “trepidatious.” Instead, it suggests “tendentious” or “dedications.”) However, I’ve been wanting to improve my […]
