Oops!
In the crazy transition over the weekend to build the new look on the site this cartoon featured in the Chicago Tribune got deleted. Now It’s back. It got quite a bit of traffic over the weekend. The actual ad, not so much.
“The Internet is the monster that ate reason, a thief in the night that turned loyalty to a 150-year profession into a homeless shadow of itself,” she said. “There needs to be a way to compensate cartoonists fairly or there will be no more comics.”

I’m going to take a few more weeks of drawing 3 times a week here M-W-F. I still have more marketing to do and my Littoonz Studios website to work on. After drawing sports cartoons daily for 27 years it feels good to slow down just a bit from the daily grind and I do hope you will be patient as I get off the treadmill two days a week for a while. See you Monday!
It’s Here! The First Official Drew Litton Sports Cartoon wall calendar for 2010.
The calendar features 12 Monthly Full-Color classic cartoons PLUS Daily sports event date reminders to make your sports planning for 2010 so easy. Honestly, I think these will be a super cool gift for the sports fans in all our lives. The calendars are now on sale at lulu.com for $14.95 plus shipping. Lulu.com production costs are fairly high. But they do the shipping which should make the process easier. Click on the image or the link Drew Litton Calendar to order now!

Wheaties
That apparently is what Jimmie Johnson eats a lot of. I don’t do many NASCAR cartoons, mostly because we have so little of it here in Colorado. But my brother, Alan, is a huge fan. And I know there are a lot more so this is for all of you Roadies!
Don’t worry. More Broncos cartoons to come and The Drew Litton 2010 Wall Calendar is near!!! Stay tooned.

Pressure.
Too often parents are becoming totally overbearing and downright vile during their kids sporting events. Acting like spoiled two-year-olds they make the whole experience uncomfortable and embarrassing. This, of course, puts undo pressure on the kids, coaches and and school administrators. I think this cartoon provides some really worthwhile advice. The unfortunate thing is the people who need it most will heed it least.
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.
A Drew Litton Calendar is Coming
We’ve begun production on the first ever Drew Litton wall calendars. My wife, Marcia, is helping input the events and I’m working on choosing the images. We’re doing a super cool calendar with dates for all of the major sports events of 2010 plus cartoons for every month. We weren’t able to get the daily desk calendars done. I just don’t have the financial resources right now to make that happen. This calendar is really an experiment. If it goes well then we will start to do a lot more merchandise in 2010 including a new book. So you can help me out by telling all your friends about the Drew Litton calendar (not to mention this blog). The more people who know about it the better. I’m also exploring doing a few Christmas Craft shows but I’m not sure about that yet. If any one has any ideas about that, I’m all ears. If there is any other merchandise you would like to see made available for this Holiday season feel free to let me know. You might remember a poll we ran back in September. It was a big help.

No More Bozos
I mean doesn’t the NFL have enough of them already. I rarely delve into politics here, after all I am supposed to be a sports cartoonist. But this issue was one I kind of had to take a swing at. Some of you will find this pretty funny while others will claim complete heresy on my part and proceed to flick their scrambled eggs at their computer screen. I beg you not to. For one reason it’s downright disgusting and really hard to get off the screen but mostly because I’ll be back Thursday with a relatively normal sports cartoon. Until then my motto for the day is RUSH is a Band! (from Canada)
