Muskrat Ramblings

I’m busy getting stuff done in advance for our Long Anniversary Weekend ™. Friday’s Dork Tower is already loaded and ready to go, and Monday’s is on the drawing table. With luck, I’d like to be two weeks ahead on the comics soon(ish). I’m not sure if this will be a TOTAL no-work weekend, as […]

1) I just remembered I’ll be up North next Monday, celebrating with the Lovely and Talented Judith our eight years of incredibly blissful marriage. So the next Monday Morning Double-Secret Super Happy Fun Quiz may be changed to a Friday Morning Double-Secret Super Happy Fun Quiz. Stay tuned, true-believers! 2) I’m gonna post an old […]

Well, here are the cards from last week’s competition (drum roll pleased): The game: Munchkin Blender (“Mixed-up Megapowered Munchkin Madness”), from Steve Jackson Games. This is a Munchkin add-on that will let players mix Munchkin, Star Munchkin and Munchkin-Fu a little more effectively. Card One: 1/3 Breed (Feline, Elf and Hobbit, in this case). Card […]

OK. I’ve been back home for about a week now, and the jetlag’s finally gone. I’m not waking up at 4 am any more. However, I am pretty much tied to the drawing table those hours I am awake, so it really doesn’t make much difference anyway. I got outside once yesterday, at about 9 […]

1) I’m not sure if the writer or translator of Nemi reads Dork Tower or plays Chez Geek or not, but those t-shirts in the third cartoon seem awful familiar. He he he. (I’ve never done a “Frodo Lives” T-shirt, but it’s appeared in the comic…though it’s been a T-shirt or something I’ve seen before…”Will […]

OK. As seems to be my lot, I’m juggling far too many projects. Again. Still, some of them are going quite nicely. I’m finishing up MYSTERY PROJECT “A.” for example. I’m VERY happy with it. So, here’s where YOU come in. Here are three cards from MYSTERY PROJECT “A.” Can you name: (a) What upcoming […]

Woo-hoo! Once more with feeling: WOO-HOOO!

Welp, the FTP problems still seem to be there. I’ve got some e-mails in to the relevant authorities, so with luck, it won’t be TOO long before new ‘toons are up again. The act that this all started when I was in Prague didn’t help. But such is online life, I guess. More news as […]

Holy freaking muskrats! Judith and I are in Prague, winding our way back to London, ABSOLUTELY blown away by Vienna Fanntasy Gaming Convention 2004. EVERYBODY in Vienna was fantastic, and it was a HUGE turnout for a new con. There were SEVERAL hundreds of people there, lots of retailers, and I did almost five straight […]

These last couple of days have brought about a slew of e-mails from people that run along the lines of “remember that (fill in the blank) you promised us? Well, we need it, like, NOW, Chester!” So there are some more small projects added to yesterday’s list. I am SO looking forward to the Vienna […]
