Bearman Cartoons - Editorial Cartoons, Pop Culture Cartoons, Other BS

Super Man Cartoon

Today’s cartoon is in honor of Dialogue Free Comic Day, which actually is this Friday but I only post on Sunday’s and Wednesday so I am early.  (Noel Curry who started it says it is cool.)

This is a typical day in the life of the Bearman household.  My wife can do twenty things around the house and never say a word about it.  I, on the other hand, like to boast or at least announce every menial task that I do.  ”Just want to let you know I changed the light bulbs in the bathroom and you didn’t even have to ask”   Now just for reference this isn’t some typical screw job bulb.  They are the damn halogen mini lights so I actually have to climb up on the counter to my own peril, hope they don’t explode in my face, make sure the pins align correctly, and all in the dark so I don’t blind or burn myself.  uh…am I bragging again?

Now my female readers might look at this and say, “typical man.”  BUT, I would say it is a learned response when you get married.  It is a preemptive strike.  Women think they do everything around the house.  So they start piling on chores for the man trying to get him to do their share.  By bragging about how much we have done no matter how mundane, we make you think before you start requesting things get done.

Though my wife has even worked her way around that.  Some show was saying that women shouldn’t nag their husbands to do chores but rather speak positively about the things they do in order to encourage them to do it more.  So now once a week without fail, my wife will tell me “You know you look sexy when you clean the cat litter”

Weigh in.  Anything similar happen in your experience?

Attachment Parenting Editorial Cartoon

Today’s editorial cartoon is inspired by Time Magazines cover story on what is known as Attachment Parenting and the controversial cover photo.  Here it is in case you missed it (Click image for a Time Q&A with the mom)

I guess this image has caused some controversy both from the side who think letting your almost 4 year old still breastfeed and the attachment parenting advocates who think that this does not show the nurturing aspects of the practice.  Forbes Magazine has a great round up of different articles on the subject.

So what are your thoughts??  Good idea, bad?  How long should a kid sleep in the same bed as their parents and/or breastfeed in your opinion?

Happy Mothers Day…in that honor I’ll share with you this ditty I posted on G+

Linus Van Pelt on Hoarders

Image by Bearman, Story by Dan Soto

Former child star, Linus Van Pelt (no relation to Stephanie Van Pelt), has been tapped to be featured on an upcoming episode of the hit show “Hoarders”.

Recently, ToonMZ, spent a few minutes with Linus about his upcoming appearance.

“It’s all Lucy and Snoopy’s fault” (referring to his older sister Lucy Van Pelt and his best friends dog). “For years, they tried to take my blanket and I successfully fended them off each and every time. Then one day, I got up to get my bottle of Makers Mark and took my eyes off my blanket for a split second. That was the moment Lucy and Snoopy had been waiting on forever.”

After a few moments to blot his eyes, Linus continued his story.

“It was at that moment that I realized I needed a backup plan. I needed more blankets. I knew I would not survive this cruel life with only one blanket and cruel friends. I have spent every day of my life finding and storing every blanket I could get my pudgy little fingers on. Salvation Army, Goodwill, Wal-Mart and anywhere I can find a blanket either old or new, is not safe.”

ToonMZ was not able to get a direct (or honest) estimate from Linus about how many blankets he has collected but our team of expert guestimators was able to get a quick peek in his condo and came up with approximately 1,924,000 blankets.

Update: ToonMZ has just learned that the estate of the late Charles Schultz has given its blessing to an upcoming “Peanuts” special entitled “It’s the Great Hoarder, Charlie Brown”

Beware The SIxTH

Today is the day.  Beware of the Sith day.  All over Google Plus on friday I was unindated with posts about “May the Fourth Be With You” in reference to May 4 being Star Wars Day.  So of course I couldn’t go with the masses and needed to blaze my own trail.  Thus Beware the SIxTH of May.  Several people questioned me because there is already a “Revenge of the Fifth” but honestly with the typography and play on Sixth/Sith, mine is way better.
