First things First
Please, I beg of you, don’t rail at me for this mention of the health care reform bill. I’m not taking a stand here for or against. This was just a perfectly good reason to use it for a gag. Whew. Glad we got that cleared up.

Thanks to Everyone for your calendar orders. The experiment was a success and I hope those of you who get them for Christmas will offer me some feedback.

Birdman Glasses are still available.
My wife, Marcia, finally managed to get all three. Some stores have been slower than others to get the entire series in. They should have all of them by now. They make some pretty fun last minute stocking stuffers.

Thoughts and Musings for Monday
If you missed the weekends announcement that I posted Friday night, here’s a recap. We are in the process of putting together the first ever Drew Litton wall calendar. We’ll have more updates as they become available. They will be out in plenty of time for early Holiday shopping. I’m excited about this project as it’s one of the first real attempts at merchandising here at DrewLitton.com.
Another item of interest. Sunday’s edition of the Denver Post featured an article on Chris “The Birdman” Andersen. In the article there is a reference to some Arby’s glasses that will be coming out soon. I can’t say much but I might have had a bit of involvement in that project. There’s a set of 3 glasses total and I really think you’re going to go all Birdman over them.

I’m also beginning to make serious in roads on a couple of things. First, are all of the caption contest mailings. All of the winners prizes went in the mail on Friday, and I’ll have the rest of the runner-ups prizes in the mail by Wednesday. I’m working diligently on the first chapter of Cartooning 101: How to Act Like a sponge: A primer on capturing an idea, smacking it on the head and caging the little sucker. All while keeping your sanity. And the last, but not least, I’m making progress on a web comic/ graphic novel I’ve been toying with. It will be vastly different then anything you’ve seen me do in the past. I’m excited about branching out a bit and doing a wide variety of new content, so please stay tooned. And feel free to let your friends know about this blog. The more the merrier.

A Drew Litton Calendar is Coming
We’ve begun production on the first ever Drew Litton wall calendars. My wife, Marcia, is helping input the events and I’m working on choosing the images. We’re doing a super cool calendar with dates for all of the major sports events of 2010 plus cartoons for every month. We weren’t able to get the daily desk calendars done. I just don’t have the financial resources right now to make that happen. This calendar is really an experiment. If it goes well then we will start to do a lot more merchandise in 2010 including a new book. So you can help me out by telling all your friends about the Drew Litton calendar (not to mention this blog). The more people who know about it the better. I’m also exploring doing a few Christmas Craft shows but I’m not sure about that yet. If any one has any ideas about that, I’m all ears. If there is any other merchandise you would like to see made available for this Holiday season feel free to let me know. You might remember a poll we ran back in September. It was a big help.

Thank Goodness. There for a while I thought the Nuggets had lost there ever loving minds. I thought we had a bunch of Bird Brains on our hands. But finally somebody came to their senses, gave Chris Anderson a well deserved raise, and allowed Nuggets fans to breathe a sigh of relief.

Last Day of this weeks caption contest. Get those entries in by 6 p.m.

I’m not sure If I’ll get in another Joe Sakic cartoon or not. I’ll see what my schedule is like and see if I can get one in.

Haven’t I seen that guy before?
That Referee looked familiar. Wait a minute…
The least David Stern could have done was wear a disguise. Remember you heard this here first…If the series goes to 7 games don’t be surprised to see Jack Nicholson starring in a new role..as an NBA Referee. Hey, it could happen.
