It’s The Altitude and the Atitude
I always enjoy seeing the effects that the altitude plays on Denver opponents. I sat watching the Nuggets closing out the 3rd period of last nights playoff match-up against the Mavericks really strong. It was all over. The Nuggets played the 4th quarter to perfection, playing tenacious defense and running the basketball down the collective panting throats of the Mavs. It was brilliant and a vision of why the Nuggets are so very dangerous in the playoffs right now. When they move the ball, force it inside for easy shots it is a thing of beauty. It sets up the threes so well. The Nuggets outplayed the Mavs in the first two games. It goes back to Dallas and the going will be a bit tougher. if the Nuggets can steal one there it makes the Nuggets chances to advance very good.

Caption Contest Going Strong
The Contest is going great again this week. I encourage everyone to submit their entries early and often. And do me a favor. Tell two of your friends about the website and the contest. The more entries the funnier the contest.

Just a Note
The greatest web guy on the planet, Steve Foster, will be doing some fine-tooning of the website in the next few days. If you experience any oddities for the next few days please bear with us. We’re trying to take this site from what was originally intended to be a portfolio site and transforming it into a real live website, with a little more ability to grow it in the days and months ahead. Thanks for being a part of it all.

Nuggets are on a Roll
And so it goes, on and on and on. The Mavericks looked positively baffled at the end of the game, and the Nuggets looking more like the cat who just wolfed the canary. It was a full day at the drawing board, working on tweaks to the website, a new cartoon for 9News, a Nuggets cartoon for drewlitton.com and a syndicated one for United Features as well. I absolutely dispel any myths about cartoonists who spend the day on the golf course. I hope you enjoy the changes we are making to make things a little more fun here on the blog. It will probably be Wednesday before you notice any changes.

TGIF: Bird Watchers Cartoon Caption Contest
The Nuggets are hot and so are all you caption writers. Last weeks contest was our best ever. Let’s make this one as good as that 58 point Nuggets crushing of the Hornets in game 4. Here’s our rules: Keep the caption clean and keep them original. We’ll give out the prizes like last week. The Winner gets the original cartoon with their caption, a t-shirt and a Birdzilla sketch ( or an Elway if you prefer). Two runner-ups get a free t-shirt and a Birdzilla or an Elway sketch.

A Few Tweaks coming your way.
I’ll be working with my webmaster extraordinaire, Steve Foster, this weekend to add a few bells and whistles to the site. Hopefully you’ll like the extra features even though they are nothing major. And be sure to be parked in front of your sets on Sunday afternoon as the Nuggets take on Dallas. I’ll have a cartoon up late Sunday night in time for your cup of coffee and a sports cartoon on Monday morning. It’s almost as good as sleeping in.

Holy Mackerel Mike! Great Caption!
Mike Kaplan is this weeks winner of our Cartoon Caption Contest. Way to go, Mike. We were inundated with caption entries. You guys set a new record here on the site for most entries ever at 140. THAT is way cool. Clearly many of you were disturbed by last weeks Broncos draft so hopefully this gave you the proper place to vent. There were so many good captions it was really hard to judge. I could have had a ton of runner-ups. But, since we set the ground rules last week, I’ll pick two:
Annje with “Great! Another season wandering in the desert”.
Trevor with “OK. This is out of hand. Now he thinks he IS Belichick.”

Mike, Trevor and Annje, please send me your contact information at sportoonz@gmail.com. I want to get your t-shirts, cartoons and sketches in the mail asap.
