INSANE CHARITY BIKE RIDE 2025 – LUCKY 13!
For the thirteenth year, I’m taking to a bicycle, to help raise money to help local farmers get fresh-food to local low-income and elderly households. This year will be different, however. IF we can hit the $20,000 goal: (a) I will cycle with the Duck of Doom on my helmet, but more importantly (b) That […]
Patreon Collector Cards and Postcards!
January and February’s Collector Cards are off to press for the Strip’s Gilly-level backers (as well as, as always, 15 backers at other levels chosen randomly by Fulfillment Guru David Michael). Here they are: I’m pushing back what WAS to have been January’s card to March. It was a bit dark, and I wanted to […]
Early 2025 Conventions!
I’ll be doing fewer conventions than pre-pandemic times (with a couple of big, important projects coming up, it’s best for everyone if I’m just here at the studio, working). That said, I will be at a couple of shows in the upcoming weeks: WARPCON , Jan. 31 – Feb. 2 University College Cork, Cork, IRELAND It […]
THE QUACK IS BACK!
With only a couple of weeks to go before Insane Charity Bike Ride 2024, we’re still just over halfway to the first duck. Halfway is great. ONLY halfway, at this point? Not so great. TL/DR: this may be the first time I’ve cycled Bike the Barns WITHOUT A DUCK ON MY HEAD! (Let alone several). […]
INSANE CHARITY BIKE RIDE 2024 – 12 O’clock High!
Food insecurity remains inexcusably rampant in the United States. For the past twelve years, the Insane Charity Bike Ride has provided critical aid for the FairShare CSA Coalition’s goal to bring fresh, organic food from Dane County, WI, farms to low-income families in the Madison area. It’s an amazing local charity, helping the farmers and as […]
MUSKRAT RAMBLINGS: Where to find me at the Origins Game Fair this weekend
THE OG CONVENTION* I’ve an awfully early flight to Columbus, Ohio tomorrow morning for the Origins Game Fair, where I will be a Guest of Honor. Origins will mark the end of a tremendously busy few months for me, and I couldn’t be happier. Once I’m back home, I have two full months of Summer […]
IT MUST BE MINE – The Beach Boys (2024)
The Beach Boys (2024), Disney+ (1h53m) Home again after a long week on the road, I hit “play” on Disney’s new Beach Boys documentary last night, hoping for acceptable background music as I scoured and cleaned the kitchen counters. Instead, it captured my attention, pushing the housework back a full two hours. If you’re a […]
MUSKRAT RAMBLINGS: May Day! May Day!
HAPPY MAY DAY, also known as “Traveller Day,” in certain enlightened circles! Shout-out to the great Marc Miller (HI, Marc!), creator of my favorite roleplaying game ever, and architect of the reason I flunked out of Astrophysics at Queen Mary College London (eventually transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the rest is history). (Ironically […]
It’s a Charlie Brown Lunch Note! – Muskrat Ramblings 24.12.23
Over at the Dork Tower Patreon, I’ll often upload the Post-It Lunch Notes I draw for Teen, Age 15. Here’s the series leading up to their Christmas Break. I’m honestly surprised I did not receive a phone call from their teacher. THANK YOU deeply and sincerely for being a Dork Tower reader. I appreciate […]
Swag Central!
Greetings from a very chilly London! I’m visiting my parents, and the jet lag hit hard this trip, or I’d have had today’s strip up for my amazing Patreon backers on Friday. It’s a very merry Guest Week from Chris Eliopoulis, and “Roll for entitlement, Karen” may have become my new favorite line ever. I […]
