Muskrat Ramblings

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 […]

Dave LeBlanc, editor of the THE COMIC BOOK NET ELECTRONIC MAGAZINE, had some lovely things to say about the new Dork Tower trade paperback, Livin’ La Vida Dorka. Between that, and the Cihicago Sun-Times calling the comic “supermagaexcellent,” it’s been a good week. LIVIN’ LA VIDA DORKA The Complete DORK TOWER Comic Strip Collection Vol. […]

Just wanted to show people what Dork Tower looks like in Dutch… Many thanks to Adam de Jong of the Netherlands for the translation. Now I just need to find the Dutch word for “Huzzah!” Next week I may put up a Spanish Dork Tower or two. (By the way, here’s a link to the […]

I love – LOVE – the windy city, so it was a particular thrill for me to have some readers e-mail this morning and let me know that the Chicago Sun-Times ran a Dork Tower comic along with a tech column today. (Click here for the cartoon, as it originally ran at DorkTower.com.) I still […]

Woo-hoo! OK, Livin’ La Vida Dorka is finally in the Dork Store, which we’re slowly banging into shape… It also shipped from Diamond last week, so most stores should have it. Livin’ La Vida Dorka. Help feed a starving cartoonist now. 🙂 John PS. As you can see above, screaming Igor directional buttons are back. […]
