I drew this for my syndicate. My paper didn't kill it. In fact, I didn't show it to my editor. I drew a local cartoon for Sunday and focused on drawing it for the paper. I did this as a bonus for Creators Syndicate.

I don't know if the check is in the mail or if it's check mate. Ha! Ha! Ha! See what I did there? Ya know, that thing with the pun? I kinda subtly put it in. Oh, never mind! Carry on with your Friday.

Several Palin cartoons ago, I mispelled "rogue" and made it "rouge". Thankfully, a copy editor caught it. Today, I spelled "rouge" intentionally. I think I kinda freaked out the copy editor, not that it's the first time.

I thought of a lot of diferent ideas on this issue, but I didn't want to beat up on James Monroe High School. To me, it seems like an honest mistake, and not just on the coaches part. Editorial cartoons aren't mean to be fair, but yesterday I didn't feel like being unfair to a bunch of 50 students, not counting the rest of the school, who didn't do anything contribute to this problem. All those kids did was go out and win a bunch of footballs games and qualified for the playoffs then had it taken away from them from someone else's oversight. So this cartoon's kinda light. No, I didn't trace the drawing. I did study it however. Yeah, I've used the Lucy football things one time too many. I've also used the Lucy psychiatry booth idea one time too many. Sorry for being lame, but at least I'm not doing a ton of movie or Wizard Of Oz analogies. I hate those Oz analogies.

Any misstep Obama makes has conservatives howling. It's bad enough they make stuff up about the guy, so he doesn't need to give them ammo. But hey, at least he didn't try to give one a back rub (W. to Germany's FEMALE chancellor) or throw up on anyone (George H.W. Bush on a visit to Japan).

This is last Friday's toon. I should've posted it then but I had to hurry out of town to speak at a student journalism conference in Washington. Of course I was late. Sorry, kids.

Can you believe we're up to number 50? That's fifty contests. 50 winners. 50 drawings. 50 times I've had to walk through the office asking someone to stop what they're doing and read a gazillion captions. At least 50 hours of work into this thing. When I think about doing 50 more...I kinda wanna stick an ice pick into my head. No, no no...it's fun. To enter this week's caption contest use our ultra handy online entry form. Your deadline is Noon Thursday. Friday, we'll post the top four in our weekly challenge and let you decide who wins. Winner gets the original cartoon with their caption inked in by me...along with having it printed in next Tuesday's Free Lance-Star on page two.
