Pressure.
Too often parents are becoming totally overbearing and downright vile during their kids sporting events. Acting like spoiled two-year-olds they make the whole experience uncomfortable and embarrassing. This, of course, puts undo pressure on the kids, coaches and and school administrators. I think this cartoon provides some really worthwhile advice. The unfortunate thing is the people who need it most will heed it least.

This time of year it’s so easy to get caught up in the football season and forget what really matters. lost often times are the students who spend endless hours studying, researching, and reading. Why we don’t celebrate those people more is beyond me. It’s part of the culture to raise up athletes to a ridiculous stature and and ignore the amazing contributions that intellectual in nature. It’s too bad. We miss esteeming a lot of kids that way.

Scrambled.
I’ve been meaning to do this cartoon for awhile now and finally got around to this very topical issue. In one of my many secret identities I do cartoons for the North Metro News here in Denver. They are always high school related and this just seemed like the right time to use this. I’m interested to hear your feedback on this one. It’s hard hitting about an equally as hard hitting subject.

Football & Freelance
I thought it would be fun to show you occasionally some of the other kinds of things that I’m doing these days as I ramp up my freelance business, Littoonz Studios. It’s time for High school football and I’m doing all the home game programs for Pomona High School. I love to do this kind of work and hope that eventually I can do a lot more it. I’ve always wanted to do game programs as well as a bunch of other work, but while I was still working at the Rocky I was somewhat restricted in what I could take on as freelance work. So if you know of anyone in the market feel free to drop my name.
