Hello Kitty - Cam

He's very creative but it's almost a curse as much as a blessing. Way too much cute shit this year, and that slow developing shit has to go.

Most of this year, what I have seen makes me go WTF is he thinking? And some of it makes me go, damn that was cool.


edit to get on topic: that cartoon was a cheap shot and in poor taste. We trying to run him out of town now?

 

Don't do an elaborate celebration while you're getting dominated in front of the world. You're asking for this kind of trouble. I love the Superman thing, but there's a time and place for it.

 

My e-mail to Keven Siers, who is by the way, a resident of Charlotte.

"Your cartoon of Cam Newton is pointed but misguided. You’ve found an easy and highly visible scapegoat instead of identifying the real problem with the Panthers. Marty Hurney has showered huge and unjustified long term contracts on mediocre performers. He’s also squandered draft opportunities by trading draft picks unwisely with very poor results. Granted Cam Newton has some growing up to do. Unfortunately his ability to matriculate into a legitimate NFL QB has been seriously hampered by Jerry Richardson’s loyalty to a GM that has become the laughingstock of knowledgeable football insiders around the league. Next cartoon up- The real Superman with Marty Hurney standing beside him apologizing. “Sorry Superman, we can't sign you to a long term contract. We’ve spent all our money…. By the way, I know where you can get a great deal on a PSL.”

In other words it takes balls to take on a popular athlete, your going to catch some flack. It takes BIG, KRYPTONITE BALLS to call out the architect of a very poorly constructed NFL franchise and the very influential man who signs his checks…"

 

Show me the cartoon where the observer makes fun of Jake Delhomme for displaying temper tantrums on the football field. Oh yea.. according to the Observer that it is called "passion."

 

Thoughtful, but misguided. An artist has to tell a story with an image, which could be done cleverly with Cam. What image would he use against Hurney?

 

Maybe newton is just sick of being on a team that acts like loosing is cool. He's pissed while everyone jokes and laughed like they didn't just get ass-raped.

 

I don't know , maybe a drawing of him and that dead body he must have pictures of JR with.

 

Fair point. I never really thought that he'd use my idea but I felt better after I sent the e-mail. In hindsight it was silly to think that an editorial cartoonist would have more insight into the Panthers than any of the local sportswriters... but then again maybe not.

 

Let's see, players' agents could be Mr Haney from Green Acres, and Hurney could be Ebb. Would that work?


edit: JR could be Oliver.

 

Exactly!
