Drawn exclusively for the BuffZone.com and the Boulder Daily Camera Dispatches from the Drawing Board This cartoon was drawn for the Boulder Daily Camera and the BuffZone.com. Check out the BuffZone’s fantastic fantastic coverage of the Buffs big victory I love the emergence of the CU Basketball program. Long considered a doormat of the Big 12, it’s fantastic to see what Tad Boyle is doing with the program. It’s been a long time since CU hoops have been to the dance. Now’s their chance to prove themselves on a bigger stage! Quite a weekend of sports around Colorado this weekend. From Tebow, to Manning to CU’s revenge tour it’s been a fun one. That said it’s been a busy one for me. Friday alone was crazy. In the  morning I drew roughs for the Chicago Tribune. In the afternoon I ventured across town to Monroe Elementary school to teach some of the greatest kids in the world the art of cartooning for ArtReach. It’s such a joy to see the happiness in the smile of a child. I took my Cintiq tablet with me to show the kids how I draw digitally these days and, since the class ends at 4:30, and if I got tied up in traffic, I could pull into a Starbucks and meet my two remaining deadlines for The Tribune and 9News. So I ended up cranking out my two cartoons in the Starbucks at Aspen Grove, and, thanks to a very kind crew at Starbucks, I was able to hang out after they closed the doors at 9:00 so I could finish. After that it was on to Chammps to grab a bite to eat and catch the first half of the Buffs PAC 12 Semi-final game. Sleep came late, as it always does. I’m tired just typing it. So I’ll likely take a day or two off mid-week to start the process of getting the house ready to sell and a quick trip up to Boulder with my cartoonist pal, Rich Moyer, for Buffalo wings and a stop at Time Warp Comics. I need my comic shop fix. 🙂
