Olympics: The Time Warp

February 18th, 2010 7 Comments

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

The One that got Away

February 10th, 2010 Comments Off

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.

Bears staff changes and a Drew Posting change(for a few weeks)

January 11th, 2010 6 Comments

Da Bears
The Bears coaching staff went through some serious makeover work last week in this cartoon I did for the Chicago Tribune. It’s quite a mess that Mr. Cutler has gotten himself into.
A Cartoon Posting change for a few weeks
I’m going to change my posting schedule here for just a few weeks . I’ve been posting here 5 days a week since leaving the Rocky last February. For the next few weeks I’m going to post just M-W-F. Don’t worry. This isn’t a permanent change. I just want a chance to work on a web comic I’m playing with as well as some other concepts for the coming year and to do some marketing for my creative business Littoonz Studios without the daily deadline of sports cartoons. I’m asking all of you, please, to bear with me for a few weeks, to keep supporting the site by coming back daily or every other day at least. And I ask all of you as well, to tell a friend or two about the cartoons here and encourage them to give the site a try. The more the merrier.
I’m also asking you to take part in the poll questions below to help me evaluate the site and to bring you more of the content you want to read. Thanks everybody!!

Drew in Review: 2009

December 31st, 2009 10 Comments

PLEASE NOTE: THESE IMAGES ARE NOT CLICKABLE
Drew in review 2009

2009: Unforgettable
For me, 2009 will always be remembered as the year a great newspaper died. The Rocky Mountain News had been a part of the Colorado landscape for 150 years until it’s closing in February. It set my life and career onto a new path, drawing cartoons for this blog and for places like 9News, the Chicago Tribune, United Media syndicate and The great Guadalupe County Communicator in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. I hope you enjoy this year in review piece I put together. It will be featured in the January issue of Mile High Sports Magazine on news stands next week.

I’ll have a new cartoon on Saturday.

Notre Dame, Calendar Updates and stuff

December 14th, 2009 3 Comments

Calendar Update
Calendars are still available at LuLu.com. However, the window to get them in time for Christmas is closing fast at LuLu. So, I’ve shipped 40 some odd calendars directly to me to accommodate those last minute shoppers who want to order it from here and shorten the time it takes to get their calendars. So in the next day or so, I’ll be setting up a shop on the site here where you can place your orders and then I’ll put them in the mail each day until the 22 or 23rd. Just bear with me as I ramp this up. This is new territory for me.
Hope you enjoy the Notre Dame cartoon from last Saturdays Chicago Tribune. It was kind of applicable to the Tiger mess as well.

Chicago Tribune toon: Charlie Weis

November 30th, 2009 5 Comments

Latest Chicago Tribune Cartoon
For all of the Notre Dame fans out there. Sorry, Charlie. He’s gone. And don’t be too surprised to see Mike Shanahan’s name pop up on the Irish look list.

Calendars!
Thanks to everyone who ordered a calendar. I’ll be posting reminders but I’ve added a button in the sidebar that can take you right to the order page.

Site Changes
You’ll notice some changes to the site. I’ve taken the ads off so that i cn fill the sidebars with more content links. I’ll also be adding a storefront on the site to accommodate some new merchandise in 2010, including t-shirts, books, prints and originals. I’ll also be adding a commission button because in 2010 I’ll be available to draw customized cartoons for you and your special occasion. Sounds like fun!

Picks.
Lots of them. Jay Cutler has thrown 17 interceptions half way through the season, 5 against the 49ers on Thursday night alone. Now do yyou really want him back in Denver?
This the cartoon from today’s Chicago Tribune. I’ll give you a link to where they are now on they are their website as soon as I can. It’s on their sports section under the Smack header and in the archives once you’re there. Here’s the url for a Cubs cartoon I did a few weeks back. Please do me a favor and follow these urls. And feel free to leave a comment or two under the cartoon. The more page views there the better. And that goes for comments as well.

Time to use our Heads

Scrambled.
I’ve been meaning to do this cartoon for awhile now and finally got around to this very topical issue. In one of my many secret identities I do cartoons for the North Metro News here in Denver. They are always high school related and this just seemed like the right time to use this. I’m interested to hear your feedback on this one. It’s hard hitting about an equally as hard hitting subject.
