It ain’t just Chicken scratch

Tim Nett is our grand prize winner this week with this hilarious take of The Chicken on the Mound.

Prize winners please e-mail me at sportoonz@gmail.com with your addresses so I can send out your prizes.

Just a note on that: I’m almost through the backlog of prizes to be mailed out after I returned from Las Vegas. It takes a little time for me to do the sketches I send. I appreciate your patience.

And Now for some Chicken Nuggets

So, what’s with the Chicken cartoon? Here’s a little back story. I got this really cool letter back in 1988 from Ted Giannoulas, the guy who is the real deal. Anyway we embarked on this brief attempt to do a Chicken strip (comic strip, you know) for syndication. We never got it very far off the ground, which is too bad. I would have loved to work with the guy. I thought I had some samples I could find easily but who knows which box in the basement they reside in. But I did find this rough sketch and Ted’s wonderful letter.

  1. The Famous Chicken!!!

    The Mascot who started it all!! There should be a Top Five of the best and worst mascots of all time. Denver would have two of them… Rocky in the top five and that Dino, whatever his name, in the worst five.

    I really hate that Colorado Rockies mascot, I want to throw stuff at it. 😀

  2. AI thought I was the only one who couldn’t stand dinger, I hope lots of little kids abuse him, by far the worst mascot in major pro sports.

  3. Oh you guys don’t know how much I despise that ugly purple over stuffed rug of a mascot. Dinger should be tied to a stake on the mound and everyone in the stadium given a dozen eggs.

  4. Drew, now that is just plain dino-abuse.

    There may be something here…. a flash game of abusing Dinger. Eggs, water, paint, tar and feathers, etc.

    Now I feel sorry for the kid of the person who wears the Dinger costumer. Imagine take-a-parent to school day, though… the kid probably tells the classmates that daddy is a lawyer, used-car salesman, or records auto-warranty robo-calls.
