Our first DrewLitton.com app has arrived. The Daily Drew App is a calendar featuring the cartoon of the day that you can download onto to your desktop at work or at home. Here’s the link to get it or you can get there by clicking on this widget! It was designed by Russell Houlden, a talented Software Developer and President of Houlden.net in Nebraska. Originally from Denver, I met Russell years back at a few parties that my sports editor, Barry Forbis, had. He was Barry’s neighbor. Anyway, Russell looked me up on facebook and pitched me a few ideas for various ways my cartoons can be used on the web and on cell phones. Russell is in his lab now putting together our first Android app and some other cool stuff that we know you’ll like. We likely won’t be tinkering with an iPhone app any day soon. Apple doesn’t like to work with cartoonists who draw real people. The last guy who won the Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Cartooning had his app originally rejected by Apple. Only after he won the Pulitzer did Apple relent to let him add his app to the mix. Yet Apple doesn’t seem to have a problem with the porn industry, or so I’m told. I have an Android phone and love it! So please welcome Russell aboard. He’ll be around kicking the tires on the site and cooking up some awesome stuff for us. If you have any questions about the app just leave them in the comments section under today’s cartoon. I know the app might not load on some computers that are older. My 2004 version of Macbook, for instance, didn’t play well with it. But most computers will happily oblige. Here’s a quick note from Russell that he posted on my facebook profile today: “You shouldn’t have to wait long for the Android App. In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy Drew’s calender on your desktop. I really like having a new cartoon on my desktop when I start my computer in the morning! As time goes on, it’s also building nice archive of Drew’s cartoons. So you can pick past dates and his cartoons will be delivered to you. I do hope you enjoy it.” -Russell Houlden- I’ll be at the San Diego Comic-Con later this week so my posting schedule might change a bit. I’ll let you know if I’m not drawing the day before.
