[Al Bundy*]

Any of you guys got any pictures of old Dave Elston cartoons?

I'd really appreciate it.

I don't - I have about 13 years of THN with Elston's cartoons in them.... they really should release a book. Although, each cartoon would need to come with an explanation, because looking back 10, 15, 20 years you won't understand some of them. They were very much about the here and now.

He has actually released quite a few books. Don't know when the last one was, but I'm sure you could find them at amazon.com, or at a good sports book fair.

Gary Bettman and Theo Fleury were a couple of his favourite targets. Elston (a rather short man himself) loves to target those two.

My favourite Elston work, though, would be "A Garden Farewell," published after the Boston Garden closed in 1995. A Boston Bruin player hugging a giant rat.

besides the hockey news, he has had them in the calgary sun, and the edmonton sun newspapers.

the books of his that i have are titled:
"elston on ice"
"the evolution of hockey"
"back to the drawing board"
"elston's hat trick"
"elston shorthanded"

i think i have them all, but am not sure.

Mine and my Dad's favorite one was Pete Peeters and Keith Acton hiding behind the Winnepeg Jets logo...it has Pete Peeters on a phone and the caption reads "Is it okay to come home Clarkie??"....the reason it's funny is because Clarke was trying to get around the waiver draft... this is taken from Pete Peeters bio at Hockeydb.com...

-1989-Sep-28 Traded from Philadelphia Flyers with Keith Acton to Winnipeg Jets for future considerations
-1989-Oct-03 Traded from Winnipeg Jets with Keith Acton to Philadelphia Flyers for future considerations

"elston on ice"
"the evolution of hockey"
"back to the drawing board"
"elston's hat trick"
"elston shorthanded"

I've got these ones too.

Well worth getting. Especially at dirt cheap used prices online.

lol oh yeah Elston

Do you remember when the scoreboard fell on the ice in Buffalo? It crashed to smitherenes. There wasnt a gmae going on it just happened during the day but since Sabres coach Ted Nolan and GM John Muckler weren't getting along there was a drawing of Nolan at centre ice stading beside the crashd scoreboard saying: "You missed me Muckler!? Classic.

Oh yeah have you seen how short Elston was? Theo Fleury was 5'6" and towered over him in a picture
