As you all know now, the Cowboys won the game last night on Sunday Night Football and are guaranteed a playoff spot. Here’s a picture of the opening kickoff:
Dallas vs. Redskins opening kickoff

Temperatures last night was in the 30 degree range but I was pretty warm throughout the night – thanks to the full body hunting suit I was wearing in that short snowstorm video I filmed last weekend.

I always intended for this strip to be in full-color from the start but I was also working on a last minute Christmas gift caricature for my best friend Jeff. He was also the one who had tickets to the game (and is also a long time Redskins fan). Now how a Redskin and Cowboy fan wound up being best friends is a very LONG story but we’ve been best friends since I was 14 years old (Jeff’s 2 years younger than I am).

Anyway, we agreed to meet at 4:30pm to go to the game and as I was working on today’s strip yesterday, I quickly realized I wasn’t going to be able to get it fully colored by 4:00pm – that gave me enough travel time to meet him at our designated spot by 4:30pm. But being a long time newspaper production grunt years ago, I knew it was better to get SOMETHING up rather than have NOTHING up. So I quickly finished the black & white version and cleaned it up as much as possible and posted it online. Again, I would rather have SOMETHING up than miss a deadline. Guess that’s just the graphic designer in me.

In any case, I hope you enjoy seeing the colored version.

This is a temporary black & white version. The full color version will be up tomorrow.
