It’s tough being a fan from Chicago right now. Just when you get through a long grueling winter, think you have a spring full of Bulls and Blackhawks playoff games ahead you to wake up to no playoffs and to the reality that it’s going to be a long grueling summer with the Cubbies and White Sox.

My most recent cartoon from the Chicago Tribune. The Bulls are close to finishing off their series with the Pacers. I’m thinking if Derrick Rose is healthy the Bulls are a contender to win it all.

The Blackhawks have charged back to send the series to a 7th game on Tuesday. This was my Saturday cartoon from the Trib.

My latest cartoon from the Chicago Tribune. I love the pun on this one and the drawing was a blast to do.

A Big Congrats goes out to Mike Keefe, editorial cartoonist for the Denver Post who won the Pulitzer prize yesterday for his work in 2010. Mike was always a guy I looked up to and he influenced my work in my early years. I never got to know him as much as I would have liked. But I can tell you there is no one in editorial cartooning who deserves the honor more than Mike Keefe. You can see some of his cartoons on Cagle.com

Several weeks ago I was approached by two students, Chris Hampson and Annalisa Andrews, from Colorado State University who asked if they could do an interview for their class in Broadcast/TV Video Communications which is part of the Journalism program at CSU. This is the result of their incredible work.
I offer this instead of my usual Friday cartoon because I believe that the work of Chris and Annalisa deserves recognition and the piece they did is the finest, most polished, insightful interview I have had done in my entire career. I’ve had stories about my cartoons featured by most every TV station in the Denver area, and all of them have been great. But this one is special. Really special.
Yesterday CU in Boulder voted to kill it’s journalism program. To those who made that asinine decision I say take a look at this amazing work from Chris and Annalisa, two fine young “journalists” from CSU. And realize by killing your program that you’ve made a mistake. A big mistake.
But, then again, this is clear evidence that CSU was kicking the Buffs tail in Journalism anyway.
Oh, and remember those names: Chris Hampson and Annalisa Andrews. They will be winning Emmys, Pulitzers and Oscars someday. Yes they are both that talented!!!
And so here it is, in all it’s 14 and a half minute glory. Grab some popcorn and enjoy a look into my world.
A big Thanks to both Chris and Annalisa and to Mile High Comics for allowing us to set up shop for the shoot. And Thanks as well to Drew Soicher from 9News and Jim Saccomano, the head of media relations for the Denver Broncos for doing the sidebar interviews. The checks in the mail for all of the nice things you guys said.
And please leave some nice comments for Chris and Annalisa. They deserve to hear kudos about their work which is very well done.
