For John Kovalic, Dork is everything. A Native of Wisconsin, John was born in England. he went to the University of Wisconsin for some other dorky stuff that is a whole other subject. Kovalic worked for the Daily Cardnal, a UW rag. That started Wild Life, in which Johns’ work took him to the local newspaper.
Kovalic was part of some great things, such as Whad’Ya Know? a Trivia game based on the radio show, and illustrated “Apples to Apples”. Dork Tower is a comic that started in 96 after a trip to GenCon. John used “Carson the Muskrat”, a character from his ”Wild Life” strip to build the cast around. Carson was a gamer so everything fell into place.
