Marbury Keep Out!
Since Stephon Marbury is being barred from home games by Isiah Thomas, I came up with this cartoon. Originally I had wanted to simply draw his locker in a vertical orientation rather than this horizontal (or landscape), but I decided against it thinking that my editor would probably come up with some suggestions again - no Marbury for example. The Knicks and MSG logos were included because he had suggested a Yankee or Mets logo on the Spring Training cartoon.
I had also wanted a simple eviction notice on the locker door, but ended up favoring the “Keep Out” and “No Trespassing” signs. The chains and padlock were some fun elements I came up with while penciling the cartoon.
