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!

The Elves are back at it. www.dorktower.com

I see BS.

@rubenbolling.bsky.social Please tell me in today's TTDB e-mail, you were inspired with that children's book cover idea by my books. It would make me so happy. :)

Look what arrived today! I’m so excited to read it and so is Brad! Be sure to preorder your copy today! It’ s a matter of life and death…fictional, of course! www.amazon.com/dp/006289243...

I think Ken Burns missed the part of the Civil War where Lincoln absolutely crushed it at Fortnite.

I was trimming the tree tonight and watched a couple of classics. It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol. It’s interesting this time of year we watch movies about super rich people who are absolutely horrible and the harm they cause and there are people who make no connections to today’s world.

I can't with the Mets. So long, Pete.

***DO NOT TAG JOHN DARNIELLE INTO THIS THREAD*** a propos of nothing, I'm going to post the lists I made of the top 20 Mountain Goats songs and albums of the Aughts I wrote the lists for no one, but I think the writing is good

You will be visited by three spirits.

Just a quick watercolor to mark the awful day 45 years ago.

With apologies to Watterson, I was testing out new watercolor brushes and figured I’d do an homage with @profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social

Aw, did little baby get the biggest participation trophy?

www.youtube.com/live/v0UG6-A... Tonight at 8pm EST @splashpages.bsky.social is proud to have @chriseliopoulos.com on the show! We'll talk about his career, highlights like Franklin Richards: Boy Genius, Lockjaw & the Pet Avengers, Cow Boy among others and the latest Comic News. Come check it out!

Seventy years ago today Rosa Parks was arrested for sitting on a bus. She wasn't old, she wasn't passive, she was an engaged activist. As John Lewis would later say, she got in good trouble. She is an icon of progressive values and equality. Let her serve as a reminder for all of us today.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Look what I just got! I can’t wait to read it, @ssavaart.com

He did Baseball & Jazz which he claimed were American inventions, the third should be comics.

The publishing world can really mess with your sense of time. I have my next two years already planned out...also, I'm working on a book that doesn't come out until 2027! What year is today? :)
