Muskrat Ramblings

August is the coolest month…and the busiest. Well, at least it’s the busiest month I can ever remember, at any rate. Dork Tower #19 should be in stores now. Dork Tower # 20 should be in stores soon. And SnapDragons #1 has just gone to press. This is to say nothing of San Diego ComiCon, […]

Well, I’m back from two FABULOUS days at San Diego! Thanks to EVERYONE who made it such a mad, magnificent success! The hour-long signings I’d had scheduled turned into two hours. All in all, it was a blast! Now, on to GEN CON! The DORK STORM BOOTH will be at 1051 and 1053. This is […]

…as I rush out the door to catch a plane to San Diego! 1) SAN DIEGO COMICON! Come say “hi” at the Adventure Retail/Dork Storm/Steve Jackson Games booth. I’ll be there at 11 a, Friday and Saturday. POSSIBLY sometime later in the afternoon Saturday as well! Booth numbers 3011, 3013, 3015, 3017, 3019 ********************* 2) […]

I’m trying to pull together a list of all Dork Tower-related events at Origins (Columbus, Ohio) next weekend… More will be added, but I just wanted to let you know about these ASAP… OFFICIAL WARHAMSTER RALLY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 10 AM BE THE WARHAMSTER KING OF THE WORLD!

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 […]
