    I've been a Chicago sports fan for over 50 years. My first positive Chicago sports memories revolve around the 1963 Bears championship. Some people may think it inappropriate, but I root for both the Cubs and White Sox. When I grew up, I watched them both on WGN and Jack Brickhouse rooted for them both so why not me? I've rooted for the Bulls since their inception and grew up listening to Lloyd Pettit call Blackhawks games. I grew up in the Lockport/Joliet area. Currently I live in Florida and write for a couple of syndicated cartoons strips as well as help supplying cartoons for a number of websites. My gags have also appeared in a number of printed publications including, Parade Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and Barron's. I sold material to a number of TV standups, including Jay Leno for the Tonight Show. I also do work for ad agencies. And finally, I've written a number of cartoon books. I'm thrilled to have my work get in front of Chicago sports fans and sports fans in general.
