A Rather Important Client ™ asked me to do a Holiday Card for them. Something that would go to every studio head in Hollywood, amongst 750 others. Here are six ideas I sent along. Guess which one they chose? Answer tomorrow (unless you keep up with my Facebook or Twitter accounts, in which case you already know the answer…) Idea the First
Idea the Second
Idea the Third: the lamest, IMHO
Idea the Fourth: The sickest.
Idea the Fifth: the Weirdest (to me, anyway)
Idea the Sixth: OK, now we’re gettin’ OBSCURE…
“Pizza Nerf Hand Goo Drill Tall.” “Peace On Earth and Good Will To All.” Geddit? Geddit? Ahem. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE! Wed, Dec. 23rd, 2009, 03:50 pm

This is just too frakking cool. Apologies for my lack of formatting-fu: you may want to click through to YouTube for best effect. And giant props to Jessica Stover (of the very cool Artemis Eternal for totally making my day! Mon, Dec. 21st, 2009, 01:30 pm

Look! Look! An actual Big Announcement (t)! As of this coming Monday, Dec 21, Dork Tower will be running here and at the Wired.com blog, GeekDad! Here’s the announcement from GeekDad editor Ken Denmead: ************************** It still amazes me when cool stuff like this happens to us, but I’m not one to look a gift-muskrat in the mouth. Starting this Monday, December 21st , GeekDad will be happy (nay, ecstatic!) to start presenting the thrice-weekly geeky comic joy that is Dork Tower, by John Kovalic If you know of Dork Tower, then you’re already squee-ing in excitement right alongside us. If you don’t know what Dork Tower is, then either you’re about to add a new layer of happiness to the Photoshop composite of your life, or you’re slowly beginning to realize you didn’t click through to the Monkey Bites blog. From the official Dork Tower website: DORK TOWER is for anybody who’s ever been burned being an early adapter; who have more Twitter tweets than actual Twitter followers; who’s ever gone to a Star Trek convention; who’s ever played Dungeons and Dragons; who suspects Anime is more than just a passing fad; and who’s been fragged by a Gravity Hammer in Halo III – or anyone who KNOWS one of these people. But it’s REALLY for people who know what the hip social networking du jour site is; who has bookmarked thinkgeek.com; who’s memorized every lyric to Jonathan Coulton’s ouvre; who’s cataloged which Classic Trek episodes involved the Prime Directive; and who knows the names of six people and a cat that make regular appearances in Wil Wheaton’s blog. And, of course, it’s for people who know that HAN SHOT FIRST!
DORK TOWER the multi-award-winning story of Matt, Igor, Ken, Carson the Muskrat (yes, he’s a muskrat) and Gilly, the Perky Goth. They’re trapped in a world they never made… but are nevertheless striving to create a realistic yet playable simulation thereof! Dork Tower has, in its decade of life, existed as a stand-alone comic book, a featured comic in Dragon, Scrye and Games magazines, and one of the earliest regular web-comics online. Its creator, John Kovalic, is also the illustrator and co-creator of world-renown games Munchkin and Apples to Apples. But perhaps his greatest creation is his new daughter, whose existence has transformed him from a simple, Bruce Banner-like comics and game illustrator, into a hulking green(bay) GeekDad. Which is where we come in. So please, let’s all extend John a warm (but slightly clammy) welcome to the GeekDad community, and thank him profusely for sharing Dork Tower with us, so we can help share it with the world! ************************** GeekDad gets around a million and a half page views per month – that’s THREE FULL WHEATONS, folks! – and about a million unique visitors. What does this mean for DorkTower.com? Well, lots of good stuff. While web goddess Cat and I sharpen the look and speed of the site, if anything goes wrong, you can always catch the Monday/Wednesday/Friday Dork Towers at 9 am, CST, on GeekDad!. The archives will remain here, and the new comics will continue to run here. The Archives – through a redesign of the site – will become easier to use and navigate through. It also means that, from time to time, I’ll be doing more than just running the day’s cartoons at GeekDad…I’ll also be coming up with some specific cartoons directed at the Wired/GeekDad audience. Plus, Ken and I have one or two Sekrit Projekts which are still in the planning stages, yet which are very, very kewl. But for the moment, I’m just thrilled to be associated with Wired.com, the GeekDad blog, and the folks at GeekDad in particular My name is John, and I’m a GeekDad! Mon, Dec. 14th, 2009, 02:57 pm
OK, a couple big things happened last week, not least of which was a hard drive crash on my laptop. Between that and the blizzard that hit the midwest, it essentially wiped out another work week. Fortunately, it seems (fingers crossed) as if all of my data was backed up. But getting everything back on the machine’s new hard drive has been a bit – shall we say “entertaining.” Not least because the new hard drive came loaded with a new operating system, and many of my old discs re still in boxes somewhere from the move. I *hope* to have new strips up and running by this coming Friday, Dec. 18, Monday, December 21 at the latest. On the plus side, there’ll be some news about something that’ll soon make sure DorkTower.com web site problems, etc., etc., are – if not a thing of the past – at least far more infrequent. There’ll be other big news as well. I’ll probably pst that this coming Thursday. For the moment, it’s been incredibly frustrating, and I’d like to apologize for the ups and downs (mostly downs) of the web site this month. In 2010, I hope that the thrice-weekly schedule of comic strips will be hit, and hit regularly and well. On the other hand, I’m not a kid in Darfur, so I really can’t complain too much about anything… Also at the start of the year, some more big news, about what’s going on with everything: the Dork Tower comic strips; Dr. Blink comics and more; the Dork Tower comic books; My Little Cthulhu; Mythos Buddies; Munchkin; Out of the Box Games; the Dork Tower puppet project; where my mind’s at; and so on. Kind of a State of the Cartoonist address. I’m working that up now to post New Year’s Day. It ma need to be broken into a few parts. In the meantime, thank you SO much for your patience these last few weeks. Please check back in lter in the week, when I hope things will be starting to run a bit more smoothly. I’m working on making everything sharper, smoother, faster and better at DorkTower.com. John PS – please excuse any typos. I’ve got to run off for a plane, and don’t have time to proof this in my usual haphazard way… John |
