Plop goes the Rockies. Just like that they find themselves down and out. What a difference a road trip makes. What exactly happens during the all-Star break I’ve no idea but needless to say this team just isn’t the same one before the break. Can they climb their way back? You tell me!
I’m back from Comic-Con and though I’m pretty tired from the experience I had a great time. I learned a lot, walked a lot and saw a lot. Some of what I saw I could have done without ( the people made up to look like Zombies walking the streets, for instance). But it was great. How is it I leave for only a few days and the Rockies completely fall apart. What a shame. Oh well, the Broncos start camp pretty soon. I’ll have plenty to draw about very soon.
Wow. What a rally by the Rockies in the last few weeks to come on strong in the division before the break. I’d love to see them get aggressive and get a little help to get them over the hump in the second half, but regardless, I think the rest of the Rockies season will give us a little something to talk about around here besides the upcoming Broncos season.
Oh and BTW I have another World Cup cartoon over on ESPN.com. Feel free to leave some comments there or retweet it even. It helps.

Sometimes an image just happens. This is a long overdue tribute to the amazing Ubaldo Jimenez who happens to be, right now, the best pitcher in baseball. For the Rockies. I know . Two sentences we never thought we’d ever see in our lifetimes. Anyway, here’s to greatness in our midst. Cherish it. Pitchers like him come along about as often as John Elway.
In honor of Todd Helton’s first Home Run of the season I thought I’d post one of the Rockies posters I did awhile back. I did a whole series of these and if you like this one I’ll gladly share a few of my favorites including Larry Walker and Preston Wilson as well as a special one from the rockies World series appearance. Have a terrific Weekend! You all are THE BEST!
This is the new cartoon for this months Rockies magazine. Be sure to pick up a copy if you find yourself at the ballpark, newsstand or about to board a flight on Frontier. It looks cooler in print.
The rocks still have to work out the chemistry but Jim Tracy is the guy who can do it.
There’s a test Webcast VLOG below. Feel free to leave your feedback. I think it could be a blast to have it as part of the site, like maybe on Fridays. I could review the week of sports, talk about the weekend ahead and give some fun drawing demos along the way. I’d keep them short and punchy and make it a fun way to head into the weekend.
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!!

Good day to call in sick!!!
Here’s your schedule for the day.
1. Make and Pour coffee. You should have done this by now.

Posted in Hardball Tags: Colorado Rockies, Final Four, Mile High Sports Magazine, The Masters, Tiger WoodsA 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.
