I think this one is my favorite cartoon of the Olympics. I thought it fit the spirit of the Women’s Canadian Hockey team.
I’m still fiddling with the site this weekend so if you see different incarnations you’ll know what’s going on. I’m going to finish it up so that Monday Morning the site is done and other than evaluating your response and seeing if Mingle is a good fit it will be the new look for the foreseeable future. Sound good?
Bode Miller came back from the edge of oblivion on Sunday to capture an elusive Gold medal, his third medal of the 2010 games. Known in the past as someone who would rather party than win, Miller has become one of the feel good stories of these Olympics. This cartoon is from the Chicago Tribune and is one of quite a few I’ve been doing for them during the games. The editor there is a joy to work with and makes these cartoons a blast for me. So if you’ve been wondering why some days the cartoons are square (Tribune), sometimes horizontal (United Features) and really horizontal other times (9News), it’s because of all the different places I’m drawing for.
Doing the Time Warp again.
What part of “live” doesn’t NBC understand? The Internet has changed so much of the way we watch sports. Mostly it does away with the need for any kind of tape delay. Too bad NBC doesn’t get it. No wonder the whole Jay Leno fiasco happened.
Thanks for taking some time to take the poll yesterday. Feel free to let me know what’s confusing about the navigation and if you want me to dump a few sidebar widgets. I’ toying with making a few tweaks to the header, so don’t be surprised if you see a new one in the near future.
Saturday and Sunday Bonus cartoons for this weekend, so be sure to check back for updates
Are you as tired of Lindsey Vonn coverage as I am? Let me know. I thought today would be a good day for a poll on the new blog look. Please let me know what you like and don’t like about the site.
Changes were definitely need at the Luge track after the traffic accident on Friday that claimed the life of Nodar Kumaritashvili. There a lot of allegation floating around and apparently the Candians are fuming over their “loss” of home ice advantage. Since when did hosting the Olympics give the hosting country to tailor the venues to provide an advantage for their own athletes. It goes against everything the Olympic spirit stands for. It’s such a shame that it has come to this. Don’t you think?

What a horrible way to start the games. Word has it that many people complained about the luge track being too fast. Three crashes on Friday, one ending in the tragic loss of a young promising athlete. There will be more on this story but I wanted to share this cartoon from Saturdays Chicago Tribune.
This week has been a bit crazy, with all of the changes here, but I thought it was appropriate to finish with this cartoon about Lindsey Vonn. Her story will unfold throughout the weekend and it will be interesting to see the outcome. My predicition is that she will gut it out and compete as best she can. I still think she’ll medal. Have a great weekend and thank you all for hanging in there this week with the site. I’ll be putting a poll up next week to get a feel for how you like the site and what else I can do to make it worth your daily readership.
