This is the place to follow the crew of the Palehose Six as they attempt to capture more treasure for the people of South Side Island.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
