Every once in awhile I deviate from my normal sports cartoon, throw a change up, and pitch one of these babies to ya! This one was done for The Guadalupe County Communicator to reflect their recent infestation of miller moths. Colorado has been swarmed with the little buggers as well so this was an appropriate cartoon for those of us who live in the Colorado area. Anyway, I’ll be back with some live cartoons later on this week. I am in the “crunch” mode for getting the house on the market. It looks like Tuesday! So please bare with me. I need to do a draft cartoon or two and some NBA playoff stuff as well. So hold tight and check back daily to see updates.
Thanks Drew

I’m not sure why the NBA decided to give Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) a break on his suspension (only 7 games). It’s beyond belief really. And yet, no matter how many times Ron Artest has disgraced the NBA (if that’s even possible anymore) they let him get away with it. Personally, it’s one of the many reason I find myself not watching much of the NBA anymore. Between behavior like this and the prima donnas dominating the league, there’s just not much there to cheer about.

If you haven’t already seen this terrific article in the New York Times by Richard Sandomir I would invite you to take the time to check it out. It explains an all too painful truth that we are precariously close to losing an art form.

And be sure to take a look at this article on my site by Murray Olderman about the Art and History of Sports Cartooning. I’ve added a few things to it myself.

I think this cartoon is one that a lot of people can relate to. I know I’m guilty as charged. Those are my favorite kinds of cartoons to draw. Ones that resonate with just about everybody even if you aren’t a sports fan.

Tough we all knew it was coming it was indeed hard to hear that Brian Dawkins was retiring. I always liked the way he played the game with great passion and awareness and integrity. He will be missed more as a leader in the locker room than as a great player on the field. For me, he joins Rod Smith as my two favorite all-time Broncos players. Clone Smith on offense and Dawkins on defense and no telling how many Lombardi trophies the Broncos could rack up.

Not only was that news a bit on the bleak side, but try to be a Saints fan these days. Talk about a franchise implosion of epic proportions. Enough to make a grown man think about tossing his Saints sweatshirt away. But not quite:)
