Quick note: there will be a new Dork Tower ‘toon up tomorrow (Thursday) instead of today. Still kinda getting into gear for the new year… I saw a fun movie the other night, and I have to find its soundtrack. Soon. The movie is “CQ,” and while far from great, I enjoyed its Truffaut-esque qualities. […]

I was going to use this space to talk about some of the upcoming plans and schedules here at Dork Tower for 2004. However, my good friend Rich Koslowski has some important (if regrettable) news of his own, so for now, the column is his. I’m sure I speak for the entire Army of Dorkness […]

DANGIT! I just found out that Dork Tower 25 has a small misprint: A two-page comic from Dork Tower 24 was included by mistake in Dork Tower 25. It’s a shame this happened with Dork Tower 25, since I’m really proud of ALL the fun stuff in this issue. But I went a bit cross-eyed […]

BEACHED is back from the dead Kinda. Today’s regularly scheduled Dork Tower will be up this afternoon. But I just wanted to let people know that HitTheBeach.com has risen from the ashes, and with it the old BEACHED archives. BEACHED was a comic strip I did slightly before I started Dork Tower, back in 1996. […]

It’s gonna be a good week! I’m geeked out about the The Two Towers, of course, but I also can’t wait for the return of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” one of the best, most thoroughly enjoyable shows of the last few years and (although I disagree with Ted and his unequivocal anti-dried parsley […]

OK, OK….I admit it…I’ve been a bit busy…again. Dorkstock II’s come and gone and was a blast. In the mean time, Dork Tower 25 has come back from the printer, and is shipping now. Add to that the fact that the Dork Tower Clicky Special will be shipping next week, Dork Tower 26 is AT […]

If anybody needs me for the next couple of days, I will be in a VERY deep funk… Seriously. John

With all due respect to my friends in Florida… CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! OK…I haven’t seen a full baseball game since the last strike. Seriously. I quit. Cold turkey. And I was a HUGE baseball fan. But after the last strike, that was it. Uh-uh. No way. Nada. But…but…this is the CUBS. I […]

DORK TOWER: FIVE YEARS, 25 ISSUES MARKED WITH NEARLY 100-PAGE CELEBRATION ***Press Release*** Dork Tower 25, the special landmark celebratory issue originally solicited at 56 pages, has been delayed in part due to an ever-expanding table of contents that now threatens to push the comic book past 100 pages. “The book is 96 pages long […]

OK! The House Sitters are here, Dork Tower 24 is safely at press, and I’m running out to make my plane for GenCon! Here’s a brief rundown of my con schedule: I’ll be signing at the Dork Storm/Steve Jackson Games/Atlas Games booth for sure Thursday, probably Friday, but definitely Saturday and Sunday. It’s booth 311. […]
