This is as accurate a cartoon as I can draw that properly sums up my feelings about the NBA playoffs. Personally, I think the NHL playoffs are a bit long too, but those are usually pretty entertaining.

The NBA, not so much. At least not for me

Talk about plan gone awry. Yesterdays “Take a Break” toon was just a bad idea all the way around. Well, I men the idea of taking a break, which all of us need to do from time to time is great but it was bad timing on my part to use it yesterday. Next time I think I’ll just find a golden oldie to post or just put a note up telling you all I’m on deadline for something, which was what I did yesterday and into early this morning. I did update with an NFL cartoon after I got it drawn yesterday morning but it was noon before I posted it. If you haven’t seen that one, it’s below today’s toon.

I’ll let you know when they post the illustration I did for Johnette Howard’s column on ESPN.com. It’s a great column so you really should check it out. If you haven’t subscribed to my RSS feed its a good way to find out when I post something new. I’m toying with updating multiple times a day with stuff, like videos and such I find around the web while I’m doing my daily research for cartoon topics. and, yes, I’m toying with bringing back a weekly caption contest. Not sure what to do about prizes. I don’t have time in my schedule to handle the mailing and I don’t have the budget for gift cards. Any thoughts?
