Now this is probably what I should do… is when the moment hits me, I’ll crank out a quickie comic for you… and this one even fits the motif!  Bonus!  Comic Trivia: Bud is wearing the original t-shirt I first drew him in.  I decided I didn’t want to draw BTO on  his shirt everyday and also thought twice about using a copyrighted logo on my character’s shirt.  BTO probably wouldn’t care, but their lawyers…

There is a bit of Chicago legend for us Cub fans on one fateful day in 1983 when the Cubs started off the season 5-14 and only about 3000 “fans” showed up everyday (Bud and Jeff would be there for sure).  Here’s what was said, uncensored, by Cubs manager Lee Elia in 1983:

“Fuck those fuckin’ fans who come out here and say they’re Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you, rippin’ every fuckin’ thing you do. I’ll tell you one fuckin’ thing, I hope we get fuckin’ hotter than shit, just to stuff it up them 3,000 fuckin’ people that show up every fuckin’ day, because if they’re the real Chicago fuckin’ fans, they can kiss my fuckin’ ass right downtown and PRINT IT.”

He was bit unhappy, no? 😛  So, that’s what inspired me to do this with just Bud and Jeff in the stands.  Also, easier to draw.

Full Color tomorrow as Robyn starts her job!

As we do a last call on Summer 2010, here’s a little Don Henley for you.  Trivia: the boy who played Don Henley as a young man in the music video for this song lived in Warrenville, Illinois and came by my office one day to have the video copied.  He had a head-shot and signed it for me.  Was kinda cool.  I’m one degree from Don Henley man…
