The Joe’s Bleachers blog site design takes its visual cues from Wrigley Field’s original, green, man-powered scoreboard in center field. It’s still in use despite of the modernization of the ballpark that’s taken place over the past 40 years, and most especially in the most recent 15, under the Ricketts family ownership.

Obviously sated with a long awaited championship, Joe has been on hiatus pretty much ever since. Honestly, it seems like 2016, while a rapturous high point in the life of a Cubs fan, may have been the beginning of another dry spell. That should get Joe squarely back in his wait-until-next-year, barb-throwing mood for some time to come.

Character development and content illustrations are also my work.
