My junk folder fills up with new, different and imaginative forms of Spam every. Phishers take to recently-unveiled technologies – Skype, for example, or the latest superhipcool networking site – in the blink of an electronic eye. Trolls still toll their tiresome way on message boards and listserves across teh Intertubes. So it is sometimes […]
Blogs Monday-Wednesday-Friday this week. New Dork Tower cartoons Tuesday-Thursday, as I attempt to crawl out from this mountain of work and get the website back on track. *** Had a great time at the Madison Jonathan Coulton concert last Thursday, thanks for asking. Even with an ice-storm that hit midway through the show, so the […]
I don’t know if other cartoonists feel the same way, but often when I do a sketch I love, the finished drawing doesn’t come out nearly as nice. it’s almost as if a good sketch dooms a final drawing, for me. This was not the case late last week. I can’t say what the drawing […]
I’ve talked about these on Facebook, but not really here. Dreamland Toyworks recently announced the release of Mythos Buddies a new line of 3″ tall vinyl toys I designed as a follow-up to My Little Cthulhu. There will be 12 figures overall – 9 based on the basic “Buddy Cthulhu” mold, and three unique molds. […]
I got some snarky e-mails about today’s cartoon being a cut-n-paste Photoshop job. It’s not. Look closely. Every frame is individually drawn. I wanted the frame-by-frame LOOK of cut-n-paste, for the pacing of the strip, but the honesty of hand-drawn. So I drew a “master frame,” used a light table (aka “technology from the last […]
OK…I’ve shown everyone this piece of coolness before… And then I discovered this, which is a laff… But But Fred Bourgois just sent me this, which is all sorts of fantastic sauce: (the animations don’t show up on the Dork Tower home page – you have to click the “Continue Rambling” button to see them): […]
I hope the FTP problems are figured out, and the Toa of Igor Chapter Two will start Tuesday. In the meantime… The Dork Tower Haiku Kontest turned out far better than I could have imagined. There were many more entries – and grand ones, at that – than we had room even for honorable mentions. […]
OK…there’s obviously something wrong with the website today. I’m trying to figure out what it is. The cartoons for today and Wednesday are up and loaded, but are not registering for some reason. My apologies. I have no idea what’s going on. Please keep checking back. I hope to have these bugs fixed as soon […]
There are four pages left of chapter one, but instead of running two today and two Monday, I’ll run them all Monday. I think they’ll read much better that way. Originally, I was only going to run a single page a day. But many of the single pages had gags that concluded on another page, […]
First, apologies for the not-even-close-to-daily updates on DorkTower.com. As I get in the swing of things, that should change. Right now, my mind’s still very much in a Wake-Up-And-Think-Of-Louisa kind of phase… Also, I promised some big announcements. I just haven’t had time to sit down and put the thought into writing them that they […]
