This is what I posted eleven years ago, when I found out about Douglas Adam’s death. It seems an odd thing to post today, the date of what would have been his 60th birthday, but it’s heartfelt, and sometimes “heartfelt” is enough. Like so many of us, his life and works were hugely influential on […]
Something big work-wise has come up, and it looks like I’ll not be going to the GAMA Trade Show after all, I fear. I’ll miss my pals there a ton. But on the plus side: it’s FUN work. That said, don’t expect to shake my hand by month’s end. It’ll be in a v. weakened […]
So it’s a relatively well-known fact that I’ve illustrated more than 3,500 Munchkin cards over the last ten years – this breaks down to about a card a day. The latest expansion for the game system is (Drum-roll please: ta-DAH) Munchkin 8 – Half Horse, Will Travel, a brand-new 112-card set, and honestly, I think it’s my favorite […]
So the incomparable Lar deSouza sends me this out of the blue, just because he felt like drawing Carson the Muskrat. Blown away? Me? Yeah. Just a little (Note – read: “A WHOLE HELLUVA LOT!”) Lar is, quite simply, one of the finest artists working in comics today. He’s the guy behind the artwork on […]

And massive, MASSIVE thanks to magic Monica Valentineli for shepherding this through! […]
Muskrat Ramblings Sketchy Stuff posted by John I haven’t posted any of my warm-up sketches, recently. Sorry about that. Here’s yesterday’s. I like it enough that I’ve started turning the idea into a proper print. CINDY-LOU WHO, The Doctor Who’s No More Than Two: As always, if you’d like the originals of these sketches, they’re […]
Muskrat Ramblings Happy Birthday, Aunt Linda posted by John Today would have been the 69th birthday of my Aunt Linda. Hit with both Down’s Syndrome and, later, Alzheimers, it would be easy to conclude that life just isn’t bloody fair, sometimes. Yet Linda Williams was one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever […]
Muskrat Ramblings So here I am in Ireland, … posted by John If much of the following makes little sense, blame it on the jetlag. “Jetlag?” you ask, bemusedly. Why yes: If you happen to be in the south of Ireland this weekend, I’ll be at WARPCON for some more of their special brand of […]
