Some Cool Drew’s News from the Chicago Tribune

October 29th, 2009 7 Comments

My kind of town…

Starting this Saturday, October 31, I will be debuting a new weekly feature in the sports pages of The Chicago Tribune. The cartoon called “The Main Event” will be all about the Chicago sports scene. I’m more than excited to launch this new feature in such a terrific and award winning newspaper as the Tribune. I have long maintained that a sports cartoon, done on a local level, has a great chance to really connect with readers. It’s what I prided myself on while at the Rocky Mountain News. I encourage you all to bookmark the Tribune’s site and I’ll give you a more definitive url when it launches Saturday. I’ll also post the cartoon here every week sometime during the weekend, but still encourage you to visit the Tribs site as well. After all, don’t you just miss Jay Cutler that much. My daily cartoons on here won’t change. You’ll just get an extra Chicago related toon thrown in. Cool, huh.

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.

NHL: It’s Never too Early

NHL and The Colorado Avalanche

It’s never too early to start hoping. The Avs have started quickly and look much improved. Enough to make the playoffs and a run to the Cup? Let’s catch the fever before it’s too late. I love doing NHL cartoons because Hockey fans are the most loyal in all of sports. And Avalanche fans are even better.

Super Joe and a New Comic on AHJL

Here, by special request, is my Salute to Super Joe Sakic. Joe, it’s been an honor to draw you, Sir. And thanks to all the readers who encouraged me to draw this. It needed to be done.

Today I’m on Andrew Hudson’s Jobs List site with a special cartoon created just for his site. It will be about job hunting and should be great fun. Andrew also did a really nice write-up about me as well. Thanks, Andrew! Andrew Hudson was the former Press Secretary to Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, and one heck of a jazz musician. If your are in the job market, there simply is no better site than Andrew’s. See it by clicking on http://andrewhudsonsjobslist.com
