The Avs really need to pull over and ask for directions. Personally, I just wish they’d finish this debacle soon. It’s been a miserable season.

It kind of makes me long for the good old days….

I’m building a new Drew Litton Art & Fanwear storefront on Zazzle with all new Products. I’m hoping to have it up early next week!

Have a great weekend!

To say the Avalanche are headed downhill would be an understatement. They’ve lost 15 of their last 16 games with no end in site. We haven’t seen a collapse like this since Charlie Sheen a week ago. It’s ugly hockey, the Avs giving up goals the way Josh McDaniel’s used to give up draft picks. Lots. And often. We are a week away from Tournament picks. Baseball is in it’s early spring schedule, and nobody but Los Angeles and Boston care about the NBA. The NFL is still arguing amongst themselves and NASCAR, well…it’s not the Daytona 500, OK. This is the one week of the year I refer to as the doldrums. The winds are calm and the sails are just laying there. So, let’s just say this week could bring some pretty crazy cartoon ideas. Sounds like fun to me!

A Historic Weekend
From Ubaldo Jimenez to The Colorado Avalanche to Carmelo Anthony’s performance in round one of the NBA playoffs it was a Colorado weekend to remember. It feels a bit strange not being tethered these days to a daily local paper in Denver beyond the blog. Especially given this weekends incredible string of events. Doing the local Denver cartoons has always been my favorite part of drawing sports cartoons. It all makes me very thankful for each one of you who continue to give me your support by stopping by here in your travels through cyberspace. Soo…How-a-bout that Ubaldo!!

Those were the days…
Count me among one of those fans who gets nostalgic for days gone by. I miss Patrick Roy. His tenacity and competitive spirit were inspiring. The Butler Bulldogs effort during the NCAA tournament reminded me why I love sports so much. I easily get caught up in the day-to-day junk mail of sports: stuff like the Tiger Woods mess, Steroids in Baseball, and dealing with the Brandon Marshall’s of the world, that I can find myself becoming jaded and cynical. So I thought this was a good cartoon to post for today. Since I have a huge backlog of material, I’ll use pieces like this from time to time, to remind us where we’ve been and why the world of sports speaks so much to the competitive hearts in us all.

Odds and Ends
I love coming here in the morning to read the comments from Gene, Sherrie, Connie Sue, Matty, Mike, Sean and all of the Drew Crewer’s who stop by daily and say Hi. It’s a great way to start my day. My schedule lately has been a blur of deadlines and postings for here, ESPN.com, Chicago Tribune, Guadalupe County Communicator and a myriad of others. I’m always trying to keep up the quality of content here and remain true to my vision as an artist and cartoonist, yet still find the balance in my own personal life. Some days are easier to achieve that than others. Yet I remain dedicated to the loyal friends I have here on the site. That said, there may be days when I need a breather day or two. I hope you’ll understand if occasionally I do that.

And on to nAvember…

There’s nothing more that can be said about the start the Avalanche have had so far this season. They set a franchise record last night for the number of wins in October. So this cartoon was a natural. I’m hoping the Avs can keep it up. I love drawing hockey.

Stay safe out there. The snow that Colorado is enjoying is a bit slippery you know.
