HOCKEY!
It is that time of the year. The time we start attending those beloved hockey games. This is just a quick catch-up.
We went and saw the Thrashers v. Hurricanes back on Jan 21st. Thrashers lost. It was a sad night.
Then we had the opportunity to see the Thrashers play the Ducks on Jan 26th. A much better game. Thrashers won!
I also had an opportunity to get near the ice for warm ups.....
What brought on a post about hockey? Well, I was going through a bunch of old stuff today and came across this awesome cartoon. I just had to share it, along with all my other other recent hockey pix!

Thrasherman at DragonCon 2009
This is AWESOME! My buddy Zach over at Hockey Cop turned me on to this video. I wish I would have run into him last year. If I'm lucky, maybe he'll be back this year!

Fox Trot Plagiarism
Yesterday, I got a great email from Hockey Cop. He sent me a copy of the Sunday Fox Trot comic strip. As I read the comic, I was surprised that it concerned D*C. Then I went on to read that he had altered the original strip and substituted D*C for Comic Con. Before I continue, some background...
Fox Trot is a fantastic comic strip. It frequently mentions things we geeks take great interest in like Star Wars, and Sci Fi (NOT SyFy) Conventions. Last Sunday, the topic involved Comic Con. While I have never attended Comic Con (but some day I hope too), I have attended more than my share of Dragon Con's, along with some Fantasy Faire's, Dixie Trek's, MOC's and few other choice conventions.
Well, after I saw Hockey Cop's version, I just HAD to do my own based on my D*C experiences.
Here are all the Fox Trot comic strips in order, starting with the original...
Hockey Cop's version...
My version...
If anyone else wants to give it a go, send me the resulting comic strip and I'll post it on the blog.
Have fun!
