Happy #BookBirthday to the newest addition to the extraordinary Ordinary People Change the World series, Princess Diana! Beloved for her compassion and grace, she shines in this picture book biography. @bradmeltzer.com @chriseliopoulos.com

FCC Chairman Carr is “thinking”of removing the Equal Time rule exception for TV talk shows (but not right-wing talk radio), so CBS wouldn’t let Stephen Colbert air this interview with Texas senate candidate James Talarico. Let’s Streisand Effect the hell out of it on YT. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Empathy, kindness, and compassion made the world fall in love with Princess Diana. Even today, her example shines through. Treat others as you would want to be treated. Teach your kids to be like Diana. I AM PRINCESS DIANA, on sale now! shorturl.at/Gc5fo

This President's Day pick up stories about past presidents. One helped create the country, on preserved the country and one preserved the country's natural resources. Look for the new Washington soft cover made specially for the country's 250th!

I remembered meeting Sergio. I remember him doing a sketch in my sketchbook. I couldn’t seem to find it again for years. I thought maybe it was the Mandela effect. I just dreamed it or something. Found it today and it’s more awesome than I remembered!

Amazing half time show. I promised myself one day I’d learn to speak Spanish. Today, I really need to start!

Is it me or does Darnold look like the shortstop in his company’s beer league?

Timeline cleanse. I'm over 60 strips in and still not satisfied with this personal project, but here's a peak behind the curtain. Real paper, brushes, pens, & ink.

I’ve got the original on my wall.

Houston has banned I Am Billie Jean King--one of our greatest sports heroes. All because we mentioned who she is and who she loves. Now a whole community won't learn about this amazing person. I hope they change their minds. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Yesterday Connecticut Nat'l Public Radio did an episode on my new PM show: "A Few Thoughts for Those Who Can't Sleep." I usually beam in between 10 and 11 PM on my YouTube channel (honestly--just before I go to sleep). If you'd like to take a listen, here's a link. www.ctpublic.org/show/the-col...

It’s that kinda week. Ordinary People Change the World by myself and @chriseliopoulos.com #books #bookstagram #booktok #bookrecommendations #minneapolis

We can’t legislate decency, but we can certainly elect more decent people. Here’s one of the best and most ethical people I know. Fought for our country, now fighting for us all. Love you @avindman.bsky.social & @natsechobbyist.bsky.social Donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/avnat...

Well, banned again by the intolerant and small-minded. It’s gotta end. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Always hearing you say, "Coo coo for Cocoa Puffs." I had to do this for you.

Happy Invincible day!!! youtu.be/01-oQuNR74Y?...

I just love zooming in on a drawing and seeing all its little imperfections. It feels real and organic.

Empathy isn't a weakness, it's a strength. It's you putting the needs of others before yourself, putting yourself in their shoes, wanting them to have as good as you have it. Princess Diana had empathy. We all need more of that today. www.amazon.com/Princess-Dia...

So, we're looking at 2016, huh? Crazy year. There was a lot going on. Ran 2 half marathons and a full. Met great people, saw amazing sites, led a parade...

Seriously, if you're looking for advice on how to boost your cartooning career, there is no one better than Brad. I actually plan on booking a consultation myself! Book yours today!

Just finished the pencils for the 41st I Am book. Since 2013 I've drawn 58 books, a number of comics stories, a GN not announced yet, run a lettering company and executive produce and design characters for a TV show. I need a nap. Ask @bradmeltzer.com on tour who our 41st subject is.

Hope it sang to you! :)

Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum FULL MOVIE | I am Full of Possibilities youtu.be/jNBsD3BUz18?...

The Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum: I Am Full of Possibilities movie is out now! You can view it online! And, as always, it's brought to you by viewers like you! pbskids.org/videos/watch...

Saying it louder for the people in the back:

As many of you, I have been so angry and so disillusioned by events of this past week...what a year. As a form of dealing, drawing in ink on paper is therapeutic.

So proud that besides 2 Emmy nominations this year, we're also now nominated for an Annie award for best TV/Media Preschool! Ah-Maaaaaaaaazing!

Five years ago, a group of unAmerican terrorists attacked the Capitol trying to foment a coup. They were violent and misguided. The mob was enflamed and inspired by a self-absorbed tyrant. Don't let them rewrite history.

Happy 85th to the master--Hayao Miyazaki.

It's been six (or seven?) Days of @chriseliopoulos.com ' Elves residency at the Dork Tower Mothership! Today's the last one! THE HOLIDAYS ARE TRULY OVER (sob): www.dorktower.com/2026/01/02/1... HUGE thanks to the amazing Chris, who's not only a brilliant cartoonist but a great guy, as well!

Want to know my top 10 comic strips? Well, even if you don't, here you go. chriseliopoulos.substack.com/p/my-top-ten...

YEAH YOU NEED A LAUGH TODAY! So here's the second-to-last strip of the Eliopoulos Elves' takeover of Dork Tower's homepage, from the brilliant quill of @chriseliopoulos.com ! www.dorktower.com/2025/12/31/1... Reblog/regift/repost/repeat thank you so much!

I'll take it.

Gary Larson's groundbreaking, utterly inimitable “The Far Side" first appeared 45 years ago, on January 1, 1980. Everyone has a favorite—what’s yours?

By the way, @chriseliopoulos.com is donating his Dork Tower Guest Artist compensation to the Gay/Straight Alliance for Safe Schools - @gsafewi.bsky.social - and I am matching that. Just waiting until there's a dollar-for-dollar match to double it, as we did last year. It's an amazing local charity.

It's a LARPing Eliopoulos Elves DORK TOWER WEDNESDAY! Guest Artist and overall Genius @chriseliopoulos.com returns with some more Elf-help! www.dorktower.com/2025/12/29/1... Reblog/Repost/Regift, please and thank you!

Not only a perfect denouement, it was the end of an era. Thirty years ago today, this strip was published.

I was doing a book event at an NYC school with another children's book author. We were chatting about her books and that her daughter went to school there. Halfway through the conversation, I realized she was THAT Julianne Moore.

The @chriseliopoulos.com Elves are in a pickle(ball)! It's s Holy Jolly DORK TOWER MONDAY, up at the Mothership now! www.dorktower.com/2025/12/26/e... Repost/reblog/REGIFT, CHEERS and thank you!

Nothing better than real ink on real paper. I’ve now drawn 47 strips. It’s amazing therapy.

If you’re celebrating, a Merry Christmas from this totally dorky kid,

It's a Christmas Eve DORK TOWER WEDNESDAY, and @chriseliopoulos.com Elves get into character for their LARP! New strip up now, at the Mothership! www.dorktower.com/2025/12/24/1... Repost/reblog/Repeat, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, should you celebrate!

I am SO deeply honored that the great @chriseliopoulos.com does these each year. He also forgoes his Guest Artist payment, donating it to charity. I match that, and wait until the Gay Straight Alliance for Safe Schools has another match day. So this year, Chris’ elves will raise $2,400 for them!

It's an Elf-Help DORK TOWER MONDAY! In what's become an annual tradition of sorts, Christopher Eliopoulos' wonderful Elves are back to bring some Holiday Cheer! www.dorktower.com/2025/12/22/e... Christmas is a time for Sharing (and Reposting and Reblogging)! Enjoy!
