Today's cartoon was drawn for the Chicago Tribune
I had a blast on my latest cartoon for the Tribune. I like the perspective on this one with the Packers race car closer to the camera so to speak. And I finally got the tires to look right a well thanks to Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and all those years of seeing his Rat Fink art.
Calendars are in the studio and start shipping on Monday. They look great. More sneak peeks coming. Trying to get some signings set up around Denver. Please order sooner rather than later because supplies are limited.

Just ask Adam Dunn. The ball looks a bit like this each time it comes at you. And the harder you try to knock that silly little grin off of the little monsters face, the harder it becomes.
In terms of creative exercises this is a good example of when NOT to censor or edit yourself. I almost did that, initially throwing it aside in my mind. Years of being edited in a print environment can do that to you. But the more I thought about it, the funnier I thought the image was. Almost like my forked goalpost cartoon of long ago. So I drew it, the editors at the Chicago Tribune loved it and here is now in all it’s haunting glory.
I told you the other day about my new syndicate home, but I think I might have gotten the link mixed up. Here’s the one I think is the one to see http://www.gocomics.com/drewlitton . Please feel free to subscribe there as well. The better my numbers, the more likely they are to keep me!
I’ve given my blog on Creativity, the Creators Incubator a total makeover as I try to ramp it up in the weeks and months ahead. I’ve kind of made it a lot less about me and a lot more about, well, creativity.

It’s tough being a fan from Chicago right now. Just when you get through a long grueling winter, think you have a spring full of Bulls and Blackhawks playoff games ahead you to wake up to no playoffs and to the reality that it’s going to be a long grueling summer with the Cubbies and White Sox.
