Muskrat Ramblings

OK, I’ll admit it. I’m beat. GenCon was an amazing swirl of activity that I’m still not quite coming to grips with. Sales were fabulous (up 200% from last year), but it seemed as if there were few times when I wasn’t talking business. I feel, in short, as if I wasn’t even at the […]

Friday, I went down to Chicago to watch the taping of my good friend Steve Marmel’s new TNN talk show, Pop Across America. It starts airing in late August, and it’s very, VERY funny. I’ll update things here as they go.If you get a chance, check the show’s taping schedule (it travels to various cities) […]

FIRST off, sorry for the delay in today’s cartoon. My internet connection wen screwy, and just came back up around 2 p.m. I am trying to keep to the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule as best I can during convention season. San Diego was FANTASTIC, thanks for asking. I met a ton of great people, and MY PAL […]

GREG HYLAND (mad genius behind Lethargic Lad) and I have been exchanging e-mail for a couple of weeks, now. And the upshot is, LETHARGIC LAD, one of my all-time favorite comics, will soon appear as a regular back-up feature in Dork Tower! This makes me happier than you could imagine. Lethargic Lad was one of […]

Life’s insanely busy here, as I prepare for the San Diego Comicon next Wednesday. In case anyone’s interested, I’m going to be on a Comicon panel Sunday, July 22, from 1:30-3 p.m.. It’s on Indy creators working for publishers, and I hope not to blather too much like an idiot. Also, as far as huge […]

Yes…it’s me, at last weekend’s Origins convention, in the unfamiliar position of posing with an award I’ve won. We took the Origins Award for “Best Game-Related Short Fiction with “Matt and Gilly’s Big Date” from Dork Tower #11 and now collected in the brand-spanking new DORK SHADOWS: The Collected Dork Tower Vol. II. Or you […]

I’m sitting here delirious, having gotten an hour and a half of sleep last night in Toronto, at the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists’ annual convention. It was a blast. Brash, blustery, bawdy tales will follow. But that’s not why I’m happy right now. I’m happy because I’m sitting here holding a copy of Dork […]

I wasn’t going to announce this, because for a while it didn’t look like it was going to happen. However… I just received an e-mail from Jim Pinto, Art Director for AEG. The Iron Shadow expansion for the Alderac Entertainment Group collectible card game 7th Sea will feature a special promo card: The Dread Pirate […]

Devir, a really cool Brazilian company has asked to translate Dork Covenant, so it will be in Portuguese at last! This completes our sweep of the Major Languages of the Iberian Peninsula and South and Central America, as La Factoria De Ideas of Madrid has started translating Dork Tower in Spanish! (PokeTHULHU is also being […]

First things first: there are two cool new games from Out of the Box out there: Blink and My Word. And though I didn’t do much in the way of illustration for them (the basic artistic direction was it: the graphics and design are mine…but no cartoons), I think they’re both a blast. Blink in […]
