I say there is no time like the present to start a streak. The Rox beat the Giants last night pelting Tim Lincecum with 7 runs. I say that’s a good sign. So here is a cartoon from the May issue of Rockies Magazine currently available at the ball park and all over the Denver metro area. Oh and all over DIA as well. So it’s time to put on the rally caps and think “Rocktober”

Baseball is having it’s share of attendance problems this year. Sure it’s early, but crowds have been pretty thin in quite a few ballparks around the country. I hope it picks up as we move into better weather and the kids get out of school.

The thing I still can’t quite get used to in this life after the Rocky is that I’m doing a ton more work for a lot less money. I thought it was supposed to go the other way when you got to a certain point in life. I average at least two or three finished cartoons a day for various clients, so it always entails a lot of drawing. Plus I’m aiming to launch my new webcomic on or around the 1st of June, which means I’m staying more than busy.

This time of year always leaves me in a sort of a freefall. I’m not into the NBA or NHL playoffs that much and the Baseball season is just warming up. Football is, well, college football at least, is still 4 months away. The NFL? Who knows? How about you all? Do you feel the same way or do you remain as passionate about sports year round?

Happy Opening Day!! Since I consider these couple of days of Baseball openers a National Holiday I decided to go all out for it. Grab some coffee, or a cold beverage and a hot dog and take in the sights and sounds of baseball. No other sport speaks to our sense of nostalgia more than Baseball. It’s in the confines of the Ball Park where a lifetime of memories are made and handing down from generation to generation. So kick back and celebrate with me.

This cartoon is from this months edition of Mile High Sports Magazine available now

Rocktember Baybee! The Rox continue to roll. This is the September cartoon from the Colorado Rockies Magazine. If you’re at the ballpark be sure to support the magazine and pick up a copy. and if you are catching a flight at DIA, the Magazine is sometimes complementary at the gates! It’s a great publication! Let’s hear it for those Rockies!
