Habs fan coming in peace !

I remember a Canucks fan on these boards (petrishriekandgo IIRC) that posted an amazing cartoon series called Offside Sports.

I've tried to find them online, but all I found was Ken Henderson's (the artist credited for these cartoons) website which contains a bunch of broken link images.

http://comoxvalleyart.wordpress.com/editorial/

I was hoping to find them to share with a few friends, (Nonis' nomination today brought back memories of a cartoon he made of Nonis and Luongo's faces when Lu wasn't in net for OT)

Anyway, if anyone would know where I could find the comics or if there's another site I'm not aware of, please share.

Thanks 'nucks fans and have a great season !

IIRC it was a copyright thing that prevented him from continuing to post those here. Check on the message board for the Canucks' official site. Don't read any of the other threads there unless you want your opinion of Canucks fans to get even lower than it probably already is, though.

They're probably in there somewhere, but I don't know if he kept doing them during the lockout.

Hey guys... well, I've been doing weekly cartoons for the Georgia Straight for almost 6 years now:

http://www.straight.com/life/straight-jab

There are a lot there.

My own sites have been taken down since MAC walked away from it's old portfolio set-up and into MobileMe (thus the links I had on my blog to the images stopped working and my own portfolio site went down... sigh). I'm working on getting a new site up and should have it ready in a month or so.

Until then, every Thursday at the link above and if they're Canucks related I usually post them on the Canuck forums.

Thanks!

Ken

Love your stuff. I've noticed that people around here don't seem to give you as much respect as I think they should.

'people around here'?

Hrmm... do you mean posters or... yah, I've had some run in's posting my JABs and have stopped because of it. Too bad, loved getting the feedback from the best Hockey boards online.

Thanks for the compliments guys... I'm having a blast with these.

Here's my latest:

Bah! It's easy for people to criticize when they don't have to go through the entire creative process.

Your cartoons make a lot of people smile, haters don't see what they're missing ;)

I don't remember what happened exactly, but I have a vague memory of getting that impression when you used to regularly post these on these boards. I just don't understand why this stuff wouldn't just be met with nothing but praise and enthusiasm, but I always remembered seeing a few posters being sour for no reason whatsoever (complaining about the self-promotion aspect of it or something, but I could be misremembering). I just thought they were completely nuts.

For my money, this stuff used to add an entirely new and fun dimension to visiting these boards.
