Here are all the horse-related sports cartoons
from from the book,"It Beats Working."

The next batch of illustrations (coming soon) has some of the most amazing drawings in the entire book. The strange thing is that none of them are sports figures! Here's a sample of what coming up in the last batch of cartoons from the book, "It Beats Working."

Hi Will...more to come! Thanks for chiming in ^_^

Niki -- these drawings originally ran alongside the text in the book, and they weren't eant to be viewed out of context, so the gags aren't always clear. I just dig the drawings!

Hi Chris...I'll get those noir-ish Willard Mullin drawings up soon, OK? So keep the faith! Might as well use the time off work to make more of your own cartoons! Email me if you wanna have lunch sometime.
