Thank you.

Sinking

Come back Friday for the last installment of Palehose Six.

Paper Boat

Profundo

Thank you for your continued interest in Palehose Six. Believe me, I know that it is just about time to turn the page, but stay tuned through the end of the season. I have something for you that will leave you looking forward to next year. Hope will be restored.

Burning Down Something Beautiful

This might be the saddest thing I've ever drawn. When I started this comic strip in February, I envisioned the Palehose Six sailing into the Post Seas through a canyon raining confetti. That is not our fate.

Keeping our Distance

Yes. This was necessary.

New Palehose Six visitors may need to scroll down to the April 11th strip to understand the Tiger + Lion = Liger concept.

Over?

The War on Panic

Panic Button

Splat

Down

Unforeseen Perfection

Who Me?

I didn't quote Hemingway today.

Bear Aware

Thinking About the Future

Kason Who

The Centerfield for Bribes Scandal

Captain Hand has a MySpace page. He rejected my friend request. What's up with that? He must not like my comic strip.

Roller Floater

This is the strip that appears in the Sunday edition of the Daily Southtown Sports section. It is on newsstands this morning.

I have to submit the strip that I draw for the Sunday paper on Thursday night, so I had this one done before Jose's start on Friday. I think the three errors had more to do with last night's loss than Jose did. Nevertheless, the roller coaster ride continues.

Piranha on a Roll

The Siren's Call

Hopefully this comic strip lightens the mood.

Here's a reminder: Palehose Six appears every weekend in the Sunday Edition of the Daily Southtown sports section. Pick up a copy on the Southside. You can hang the comic strip on your fridge. Just like Gramma used to do!

In the Water

Enjoy!

In Stride

Let 'em Have It

Ozzie has to show a longer commitment to shaving before I start drawing him without the goatee. I drew it once in my sketchbook, but it just looked wrong. It looked like Yosemite Sam without his mustache or Frank Thomas in an A's uniform.

Is it Given?

Let's hope the Palehose Six are able to put up a fight against Santana today.

Radio Interview and Crew Shirt

I am going to be interviewed by Chris Rongey on the White Sox Weekly radio show on Saturday 8/19. The show is on 670 am, The Score, from 10am to noon. I will most likely be interviewed during the 10 o'clock hour. If you are outside of the Chicagoland area, you can listen to the Score live over the internet. Tune in!

Also, by request, new Palehose Six T-Shirts featuring the Palehose Six crew are available at CafePress.

Big Battle Freddy

The Wreckers

Momentum Shift

It's Now or Never

Tiki

It's simple. Ask El Farmio.

I have to work on my artistic hobbies at night, so I have probably listened to more Farmio, Rooney, and Singleton over the last few years than I have listened to Hawk. Farmio had to make an appearance.

The Next Edward Teach

Paulie's MO

Take the 8th

The Bane of the Pack

Defending the Bench

Gload Saves

I starting inking this strip before Thornton entered tonight's game. By the time I got to the third panel, he blew the save and I had to change plans. I really wanted to stay positive and celebrate Gload, Buehrle, and Thornton. Oh well. Thornton's out of control arm is funnier anyway. And Gload came through with a big RBI in the 10th. It all works out in the end.

Go Sox! Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!

Battered

The Clouds Part

Rainy Day

Angry Pirate

Don't worry. Everything's cool. If the playoffs started today, the Sox would be in.

Just thought I'd say it one more time while I could.

Pressure

Go out and buy yourself the print version of this comic strip in the Sunday edition of the Daily Southtown.

Rough Waters

It wouldn't be an epic pirate adventure without a couple of storms to weather.

The Trophy Map

Fired

Thanks for 2005 Cliff. If the '85 Bears taught us anything, you will always be a hero in Chicago.

Palehose Six Shirts

The Palehose Six Store is now open!

I simply posted some designs at cafepress.com. It's very basic because I want to stay focused on writing and drawing comic strips. I think you will be happy with the options that are out there.

Thanks in advance to anyone who buys a shirt. I hope to see one at a game.

Weekend at the Shield

Mixing Metaphors

Do they really have a TV on the Palehose Six? Yes. Does that make sense? Yes. Why does it make sense? Because none of it does.

The Ballplayer

"What are you going to name the Pirates?" has been one of the most popular questions since Palehose Six started. Other popular questions are: "When is Bartman going to make an appearance?" and "Where is the Jolly Bossard T-Shirt?"

Rack of Slam

The Stardust

Nothing was more fun than sweeping the Stardust, and it almost happened again.

#@*$!!

Captain Hand in Exile.

I took my son to his first game on Thursday night. Captain hand was in exile, but we still saw a great game.



This is Little Man watching the Big Man, Jim Thome, warm up in the outfield. I'd like to send a special thanks to the security guard who handed my son the ball that Anthony Reyes warmed up with in right field. And thanks for scoring the tickets, Uncle Russ. And thanks to Jim Thome, Freddy Garcia, and Bobby Jenks for making it a perfect night.

Go Ursa Whiner Go!

Thank you for your continued interest in Palehose Six. I think this is the kind of dumb joke that would typically get e-mailed to me from my friends and co-workers. I definitely encourage that kind of activity.

Quality Finish

Buehrle was the first pitcher in over 100 years to give up 7 runs in a first inning and finish the game with a win. The Sox also turned a tripple play and players were using pink bats.

Van Haeger

Maybe Next Year

I enjoy watching The Palehose Six beat up on The Los Diablos Devils of Anaheim. The Los Diablos Devils of Anaheim really really want to get revenge. It's cute.

Now it's time to watch Conan tell a bunch of jokes with a Chicago flavor.

The Parrot Strikes Back

You knew the parrot would be back.

Crafty Corn

Same Ol' Contreras

Pronkey Kong

The Palehose Six lose one and win one to the Cracker.

Monkey on a Stick

The Palehose Six of South Side Island takes three from The Los Diablos Devils of Anaheim.

Look Alive

With a win today, the crew of the Palehose Six will return to South Side Island with more treasure than they left with. With a loss, they will break even.

The Los Diablos Devils... of Anaheim

It means "The the devils devils of Anaheim"

West Coast Slip

Resting the Front Line

Meanwhile, as I post this strip, the front line of the Palehose Six are pounding on the Sea Otter.

Go SOX! I'm going to bed.

Sea Otter

As Easy as 1-2-3.

The Palehose Six win their eigth in a row as they complete a sweep of the Twinkerball.

The King of Jokers

Twinker-Mouth and Twinker-South

I want to wish everyone a very happy Buerhle Santana Day. For those of you who do not believe in the miracle of Buerhle Santana, I wish you a generic happy holiday.

Seriously though, if you're a Rangers or D-Rays fan celebrating McClung Loe Day, you really should consider converting to a different baseball religion.

The Twinkerbell

The official flag of the Twinkerbell.

Contreras Works His Magic

The Palehose take the first two from the Kauffman Queen.

Rain, rain, go away...

...once it's official, you can stay.

The Palehose Six take two out of three from the Bluebird of Crappiness.

Off the Hook

The crew of the Palehose Six beat up Affeldt and the Kauffman Queen early, but Jonny Hollywood and the Palehose Six let them off the hook.

Ring Day

The crew of the Palehouse Five get their rings. The crew of the Palehose Six get their bells rung.
