A Drew Litton Calendar is Coming!

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.

Rockies Ride Fun While It Lasted

rocksride

A Great Ride But…
Doesn’t it kind of leave us all hanging upside down a bit. Waiting for something more that didn’t quite get there. But that said, wasn’t it just a blast to have the Rockies back in the playoffs!! Rocktober Rules!
Now, how about them Broncos!

Coors Field in the Cold

Colorado sports fans are the most resilient in sports. Only those zany Cheeseheads who follow the Green Bay Packers can come close to matching them. Buffalo fans? Come on. They don’t even show up when it’s warm.
So no matter the elements Fans in Colorado are there. Cheering loudly. Or at least trying to.

Rockies-Phillies: All Tied Up

Alltiedup

So it’s All Tied Up.
The Rockies come home with the series even. Or is it?
Fans have a lot more control then we often give ourselves credit for. We choose the price we will pay for tickets, whether we endorse a coach, general manager or ownership, and, most importantly, how difficult we can make it for visiting teams and how great and loud we can make it for the home team. The ball’s in your court now Rockies fans. You can choose to make the Phillies’ visit to Coors Field, cordial or not so cordial. You can lift the Rockies and give them an advantage. A true home field advantage. It’s going to be cold, but that has never stopped Colorado fans before, so don’t let it start now. It may be even. But it’s not. They don’t call it Rocktober for nothing.

Rockies Whittled Away Game One

whittled

Whittled.
That best describes what Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee did to the Rockies. Once a guy gets in a zone, there is often very little you can do about it but sit back and watch magic. The good thing is…he doesn’t pitch today. All the Rockies need is one game. And then it’s back to Coors Field and Rocktober in the Rockies.

Congrats to Jim Cruz and Connie Sue

October-5th-winner

Congratulations to our Winners!!
Jim Cruz is our Big Prize Winner with the caption:
“Now this is what I call Octoberfest!!”

Connie Sue wins a special strong second award this week for two of my favorites:
“Heaven… I’m in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.”
and
“Are these the fall colors everyone keeps talking about?”
Connie will be getting an original cartoon of her choice.

Our Two Runner-ups were:
avguy with “As a matter of fact, I AM the Center Of My Universe”
and Steve Rydell, who consistently writes some of the strongest captions week in and week out, with
“I’m just livin’ the dream.”. I love that.

winners Be sure to send me contact information at sportoonz@gmail.com so I can get them in the mail.

A Note About the Caption Contest
In the last few weeks I’ve made mention about how hard it is for me to get the winners prizes in the mail in an efficient way. I want everything I do on DrewLitton.com to be first class, and while your caption entries have been every bit of that, my time to get the prizes back to you has not. My increase in freelance workload has been the major reason it has been hard to stay on schedule with the mailings ( I worked 16 hours on Sunday, which is, unfortunately, more the norm these days.)
We’re entering into a rather busy time in the sports schedule as well as the freelance schedule. So with that said, the Caption Contest will take a little break until things slow down and I can figure out how to handle the fulfillment of prizes faster and less time consuming. Stay tooned for updates. And I’m open to suggestions on how to make this work better.

A Note about Rockies cartoons
Since we are in the midst of Rocktober I will be at my drawing board after every game to draw cartoons and provide as much fun stuff as I can. I’ll also be doing cartoons on the Broncos-Patriots matchup. So it indeed will keep me hopping here on the blog. I invite you to toon in and bring a few friends along.

Baseball’s Final Destination

Rocktober II
Could it be we are on the verge of another trip to the playoffs. The goal is in sight. Get ready to paint the town Purple. I love using this metaphor of pushing the rock up the hill. It’s very versatile you know.

Rockies Rat Race

A photo finish
It’s going to be an exciting end to the Rockies season as they move down the final turn for home. Can they hold off the Giants? Cant they make this amazing run with Jim Tracy at the helm to get to the playoffs. Don’t know but it’ll be fun watching.
