Here is a fair warning for every husband and guy in a relationship…DON’T TRY THIS at HOME!

A few random notes:

• Great to see Gene back with us! He’s making huge progress in his recovery. Gene, you inspire us all!
• I had the great fortune of spending some time talking on the phone with my friend, Peg DeLeo, one of our most loyal readers, who was in town from her home in Minnesota. Hope to meet for coffee or lunch next time she is in town. She’s such a great lady.
• I’m busy doing some writing on a few new projects I’m trying to get off the ground. Both, very different than the work I do here. I hope I can announce something soon, but I’m trying not to rush the process.
• My posting schedule is a bit off, I know. February is like that, topics, at least good meaty ones, aren’t as easy to come by. That, and I go through brain freeze this time of year. One of the many reasons I’m considering relocating in the next 3 to 6 months. If nothing else, I need a good vacation, someplace warm where I can learn to sail

And if we ever had any doubts about whether life is fair or not, just ask the three guys in the goat pen. Williams, Welker and Cundiff. Three guys who have gotten a bad wrap for their “mistakes” in post season play. Everybody is human. Time to forgive and forget. Things happen. That’s just the way it works.

Jeremy Lin, the unsuspecting bench warmer turned sudden superstar for the New York Knicks has captured the country’s imagination in much the same way that the Broncos Tim Tebow did. I think it speaks more to the collective need tight now for Americans to find some kind of inspiration to get through these troubled times. People love Underdogs.We love to root for the guy (or the teams) that no one thinks can make it. Jeremy Lin is all of that and more.
So I did this cartoon and plugged in one of my favorite quotes by Walt Disney. If you can dream it you can do it! And I know our pal Gene Anderson is doing just that! Gene is making tremendous strides in his rehab from a recent stroke. We’re all pulling for ya, Gene. Course we know you ain’t no Underdog! You’re the lead dog for the whole sled. We all just want to hitch a ride when ya get back to form!

First and Foremost, A huge Hello to my pal, and yours, Gene Anderson. Here’s a brief note from Gene I got on Tuesday night off of Facebook.
Gene: “well heck-the family is keeping you guys up to date. I can’t add to it so tomorrow I’ll talk about the best apple juice ever.” We can hardly wait Mr. Anderson!

I drew this cartoon for Universal Press (my syndicate) in the almost near stupor of completing my Super Bowl Cartoon Marathon for ESPN.com on Sunday night/Monday morning. I must admit. All-nighters are much harder than they used to be but there simply is no other way to do the 10 cartoons I needed to do (9 for the SB blog and the 1 for the syndicate.) Any way, I hope you enjoy. And if you know a Patriots fan, it’s the perfect little “in your face” cartoon to e-mail every few days or so until the start of next season. Just a thought.

Two old Geezers,
standing by the bleachers,
chewing their players out all day.
They’re pouting and sulking,
snarling and hulking,
Two Asses who grimace and bray.

They can’t stand to grin,
They can’t stand to win
They whine when they can’t get their way.
They have absolutely no fun
I can’t wait til they’re done
With this upcoming Super Bowl day.
