Hard though it is to believe, May is almost over. Here in Madison, Spring and Summer-like days have finally arrived, and I spent Sunday and Monday of the long Memorial Day holiday weekend doing as little work as possible. I wasn’t exhausted to bone-weariness– as I was last Summer. But this has been a tough […]

Of course, being jetlagged Tuesday, there were some important things I forgot to say. The main announcement being: SNAPDRAGONS is starting in its own comic book this summer! Liz Rathke and I created Snapdragons a couple of years ago, about a group of gamer kids and the power of imagination. Some strips have run in […]

Wow. Am I really back in Madison? And is Wednesday’s cartoon already up at http://www.dorktower.com ? How quickly life returns to normal… It was super meeting Army of Dorkness list members at the Dudley Bug Ball in Birmingham, England, last weekend! Ed Hogg (aka Colin Speairs) brought me an AMAZING selection of Scottish beers (and […]

Well, I’m safely ensconced in London, and I’ll be taking the train up to Birmingham Friday to prepare for the Dudley Bug Ball. Thanks to efforts above and beyond the call of duty on the parts of Wizard’s Attic and Esdevium Distribution, I also have eight boxes of Dork Tower goodies waiting for me at […]

First off, a quick apology to all PC users who were expecting Igor’s rebuff to Macs on Friday. “Spider-Man” opened, and I just had to launch into a series on that. Fear not, though: the Igor vs. Carson Religious Wars (Mac vs. PC) are far from over. It was a busy weekend. The lovely and […]

Quick update: Dork Tower #18 should be out the door Friday. I think it will rock, and I think it’s NOT the comic you’ll be expecting given Dork Tower #17’s ending. Now, on to new business. OK. To answer the first question raised by Monday’s and Wednesday’s strips first, YES, I only just discovered iTunes […]

Sorry there haven’t been many updates on my life and work here recently. Just been a bit swamped, folks… I lost a couple of week’s of good work due to the stomach flu. And this is no time to take off from work. Now I’m panicking as it nears time for me to leave for […]

Hey. everyone, I’ve got a few announcements that I have to rush out here, so please forgive any typos, lack of deft grammar, muskrats, etc… 1) DEADLINES, DEADLINES, DEADLINES: Sorry there was no cartoon Wednesday. Today’s cartoon is finally up. It’s been a VERY busy week. GAMA (The Game Manufacturer’s Association meeting in Las Vegas) […]

Hey, all, This week’s been very busy. Dork Tower # 16 came back from press, and is in some stores already. The reviews so far have been great, and I’m very happy with how it looks. I’ll be running some preview pages from it this week. I hope you enjoy them. On top of that, […]

Every now and then you just feel kinda down. Nothing’s really wrong. But you’re just kinda glum. For some reason, despite all the good news, I’ve been having a string of days like that. So leave it to Tech TV’s “The Screen Savers” to cheer me up. Megan Morrone’s “Twisted List” for Monday was her […]
