Swiftly Eastward

Less than two months after signing Bob Hill to a contract, the Tokyo Apache added yet another former member of the 2005-06 Seattle Sonics with the news today that Robert Swift has a signed a contract with the club.

Swift, Hill, who could be next, Rick Brunson? Noel Felix? Danny Fortson? Oh, please, please, please, let it be Fortson. (Danny Fortson x sake) + Japanese media = Much Happy Fun Times.

Danny Fortson: Cyborg Smasher!

In 2006, cartoonist extraordinaire Rafael Calonzo, Jr. and writer/comedian Paul Merrill created "Danny Fortson: Cyborg Smasher", a two-part comic series based on former Seattle Supersonics forward Danny Fortson.

Yes, we're still working on this dumb thing. And the comics too.

Who needs the excitement of the NBA Playoffs? Pffft, not me! No, who needs postseason basketball excellence when you can be drawing an obscure comic strip (a WEB COMIC, no less) about an obscure, 3rd-rate power forward without a team, all for no pay and little, if any recognition!

Remind me why we started doing this again? Oh, that's right.

The Love.

Here's Part Two of the FINAL ISSUE of
"DANNY FORTSON: CYBORG SMASHER."
Please, lord, let me be done with this before 07-08 training camp...
