Three toons are better than none!!! I had a blast with all of these. It’s not everyday I get to draw wiener dogs. Although my portrayal of the Tribune Tower in Chicago reminds me why I didn’t become an architect. Well. That and math class.
Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Priorities
We have them all wrong. From constant news coverage of Jodi Arias and OJ Simpson to athletes getting mega bucks for playing a game, our sense of what is important is completely and totally screwed up. You'd think that we might have learned something from the recent events in Boston. That heroes emerge from even the most difficult of circumstances, but, no, we return to the inane and inconsequential. Amanda Knox. Film at 11.I drew this cartoon after reading the recent story about Andrew Wiggins, supposedly the "next" LeBron James, signing a letter of intent with Kansas. While Wiggins did his best to keep his signing from becoming too much of a circus, it still carried huge weight in the 24/7 news cycle. It made me think of the number of brilliant kids who will walk across graduation stages all over our country in the next few weeks, whose names are only heard as they stride forward to get their diplomas. No newspaper columns are written or press conferences held for valedictorians or honor students, but, hey, dribble a basketball and we hear all about it. Priorities. Yeah. I'd say we have them pretty screwed up.
As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

I don’t know. Personally, I’d rather win, then vacate the win, than lose.
And Drew, you aren’t the only one–I know someone else who wanted to be an architect till he discovered it required math.
Dear Drew,
When I first heard about the San Diego stick-wm incident two thoughts went through my mind…..
#1: Didn’t help them vs Denver that much did it.
#2: Did they get an old supply from (forgive spelling if I’m wrong) Fred Belitnikoff?
Good Morning from Omaha,
wow, a triple header! I guess the use of stick em just goes to show how poor a fleet of receivers the chargers have this season. I thought it was funny that the equipment manager tried to hide the evidence. what is it they used to say “if you’re not cheating your not trying”
I thought the use of stick em had become passe’ and did not realize it had been banned. Guess I have not been paying attention in the last several years.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.
