Pete Rose

All dogs go to Heaven but unfortunately for Pete Rose, he's not a dog.

I don’t like drawing nice and sweet obituary cartoons and fortunately for me, I didn’t do one today.

I don’t hate Pete Rose and it’s not gambling that will keep him out of Heaven like it’s keeping him out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. What I think will keep him out will be all the sex with minors.

In regards to the gambling, I think if Rose was ever serious about redemption and apologizing, he would have come clean years before he did. He lied for at least a decade claiming he never bet on games he managed, yet he had.

I’m not very passionate about whether or not Pete Rose is ever allowed into the HoF, but if there is an afterlife, I hope Pete Rose will spend it with Ty Cobb.

Creative note: I wanted to do a Pete Rose cartoon today but went with the tossed paper towel idea after it hit me (no pun intended). I wanted to get that one out before someone else beat me to it. It was while drawing that cartoon when this Pete Rose idea came to me.

It was good timing too. I was hoping to get a little ahead of my cartoon schedule since I’ll be leaving town this week, Thursday through Sunday. Bear with me if the blogs are short during those days.
