A hearty welcome to all of you fans from Chicago and beyond. Come right in, grab yourself a cold one, some chicken wings or a brat, get comfy and feel free to look around. There aren’t a lot of Chicago toons yet. Just some really nasty ones about Jay Cutler, which you might actually like. But there will be more to come. There are tons of cartoons about the Broncos, and the Avalanche and all things Colorado since that’s where I spent some 26 years as a sports cartoonist for the Rocky Mountain News lampooning mostly local teams 5 times-a-week. There’s also a mixture of national sports cartoons which helps keep my syndicate, United Features, happy two days a week. For all of the regulars here things will stay pretty much the same. We’re all kind of like a family, or for you guys in Chicago, kind of like and afternoon at Murphy’s. So sit back, relax and enjoy some toons.

My kind of town…

Starting this Saturday, October 31, I will be debuting a new weekly feature in the sports pages of The Chicago Tribune. The cartoon called “The Main Event” will be all about the Chicago sports scene. I’m more than excited to launch this new feature in such a terrific and award winning newspaper as the Tribune. I have long maintained that a sports cartoon, done on a local level, has a great chance to really connect with readers. It’s what I prided myself on while at the Rocky Mountain News. I encourage you all to bookmark the Tribune’s site and I’ll give you a more definitive url when it launches Saturday. I’ll also post the cartoon here every week sometime during the weekend, but still encourage you to visit the Tribs site as well. After all, don’t you just miss Jay Cutler that much. My daily cartoons on here won’t change. You’ll just get an extra Chicago related toon thrown in. Cool, huh.

And on to nAvember…

There’s nothing more that can be said about the start the Avalanche have had so far this season. They set a franchise record last night for the number of wins in October. So this cartoon was a natural. I’m hoping the Avs can keep it up. I love drawing hockey.

Stay safe out there. The snow that Colorado is enjoying is a bit slippery you know.

It’s the visuals
That’s always a key component when I’m brainstorming ideas. The less words the better. Especially when describing something as utterly ugly as this seasons Washington Redskins. Putrid is really too kind of a word for them. I keep hoping the NFL will lock them up with the Oakland Raiders in a Texas Cage Death Match and then throw away the key. We could be so lucky.

NHL and The Colorado Avalanche

It’s never too early to start hoping. The Avs have started quickly and look much improved. Enough to make the playoffs and a run to the Cup? Let’s catch the fever before it’s too late. I love doing NHL cartoons because Hockey fans are the most loyal in all of sports. And Avalanche fans are even better.
