The Playoff Stretch

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?

    Bragging rights for the week was always a good prize I thought.

    Maybe you could draw your take on an old-fashioned TV test pattern for use when your deadlines start rampaging all over your schedule. Then reuse the test pattern as needed. A lot of us understand when “Real Life” comes crashing thru all our best-laid plans.

    And Mark (from a cubicle in downtown Denver) has an excellent point: bragging rights for a week on the caption contest IS pretty cool.

    Too bad you couldn’t hire an intern to handle the mailings, if you decided to go that route.

    wow, how do you read my mind….if you are looking for an intern…

    bring back the caption contest, the talented people who participated in it always made me laugh. I thought I was clever but wow, there are some really clever people in the world!

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

  4. I love the idea of bringing back the caption contest. A signed copy of the winning toon would be a great prize.
