Muskrat Ramblings

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 […]

Friday Morning Media Mish-Mash…or, just another sad, sad excuse to post a picture of Sara Rue. **** Rue-less, but still Wondrous… Tragically, achingly, agonizingly, Sara Rue will NOT be on the upcoming season of Celebrity Poker Showdown, darn the luck. Nor will Wil Wheaton, hang-dang it. But still, it’s back this Sunday, and life is […]

Welcome to hell on earth or, as I call it, The Creative Life. Hugely productive week, followed by enormous day of self-doubt and insecurity or, as I call it, Being a Cartoonist. Some very good things in the works. Meaning, of course, the potential for Spectacular Failure. But you keep on keeping on because, frankly, […]

Bad news, gang. Well, maybe not bad news. Possibly news that could lead to some good stuff. But sucky, in the short-term, anyway. I’ve had to decline invitations to or pull out of a bunch of conventions in October. All of them, to be precise. This means, I fear, I won’t be at some really […]

Locals vouch for the Game Keep as a great store near Nashville, betrayed by an employee. The full story’s here! If you’re thinking of mail-ordering anything, my guess is the store could use the show of support right now… Even an e-mail of support would be appreciated. Here’s The Game Keep’s web site: http://www.thegamekeep.com/ This […]

Open letter to anybody who wants to poke me, prod me, probe me, stick something inside me (medically or otherwise), pull something from me (including, but not limited to, blood, teeth and/or other assorted body parts), or, oh, I don’t know, say, have me PEE into a FRICKIN’ BOTTLE: I do not LIKE being poked, […]
