Why so few updates recently? Well, the good news is because I’ve been so busy. In a couple of weeks, I’m off to Hanover for the weekend of April 28/29, for Hanover Spiel — so right now I’ve got to build up a bit of a backlog on the comic strips. While I’m there, I’ll […]

Well, I no longer have a cold or medication to excuse acting like a chowderhead. So why I completely forgot to post today’s strip from Interactive Weekis beyond me! Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me about it. I was out of the house having lunch with some members of the Army of Dorknesswhen I remembered. […]

I’m getting over what is apparently now known as the GAMA crud, and beginningto function like ma normal human being. So ya want some big news from GAMA? How’s this: The nominees for the 2000 Origins Awards, the adventure gaming industry’s equivalent ofthe Oscars, have been announced. The nominees are selected by vote of the […]

I’m back from the GAMA (Games Manufacturer’s Association) Trade Show in Las Vegas, suffering from what seems to have been a nasty case ofthe crud that was going around. Not sure what it is, but it became a pretty fierce head cold today. The convention was marvelous, by the way. All the retailers seemed VERY […]

POKETHULHUHAS GONE TO PRESS! “Ichoose YOU, Pikathulhu!” It’s an endless summer vacation in the land of the dead. The POKETHULHU- adorable eldritch monsters from the icy depths of space – run wild in the swamps, the forest, and even the cobwebs and sagging gambrel roofs of the fishing village that you call home. POKETHULHU is […]

Steve is headlining until Sunday,and it’s always a blast when he’s in town. We’re also celebrating some great news that both of us have had recently. Steve’s also […]

ITEM ONE : HUGE thanks go out to James Haughton and Hendrik and Trina Mell, who all become Supply Sergeants in the Army of Dorkness forsending me some Cheese Twisties (the GREATEST cheese-based snack-food in the world)from Australia. I now have stocks enough to last through the Spring (the Blinking Billies gummi Koalas were also […]

Stop me before I design again: O K, with great power comes great responsibility. And obviously CAFEPRESS.COM is a great power I’m abusing horribly right now. All I have to say is this: Available from Maxwell’s T-Shirt cart. Pick one up NOW before I develop a sense of shame and remove it forever in a […]

Item One: First off, thanks to the folks at MEMEPOOL.COMfor sending a TON of people to these little ol’ pages. Here’s what they had to say about DorkTower.com on Tuesday: “Dork Tower is a wonderful comic drawn by John Kovalic. It’s a humorous story about the trials and tribulations of a bunch of gamers. Unlike […]

First off, my wife, the lovely and talented Judith, and I had a fabulous time at the Matthew Sweet concert. It was a bit shaky here and there, but overall it was a blast. Surprisingly, most of the songs seemed to come from his early-90s album, "Altered Beast." But that’s an AWFULLY good album, so […]
