Bearman Cartoon: Larry Flynt wants a Bailout

This week Hustler Magazine Publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild guy Joe Francis announced at a press conference that the Porn industry needs an economic bailout. See Here, here and here.

Well my latest cartoon thinks if Larry takes a certain angle, he might be able to get it. Insert your own joke here (ex “these hard times”, “flaccid economy”…etc etc)

Bearman Cartoons Popping up on the Web

I have found my cartoons popping up in various places around the web. Most unfortunately don’t do the right thing and link back to mine to show my ownership of the cartoon. But two posts this week I found got it right.

The first is at Queer Cincinnati dealing with the Gays in the Military. He actually “half-heartedly” blog rolled my site during my challenge to bloggers to help the FreeStore Foodbank in Cincinnati. I love that…”half-heartedly” Is it my drawing or my personality?? ha ha

The second is the website 2012news.com. They picked up on my first cartoon dealing with 2012 conspiracy theories. Trust me I am sure there will be more to come.

Shout out to both of them. Thanks for supporting my little part of the universe. Remember if you use my toons in your blog please refer your readers back here.

Retro Cartoon: Gays vs Felons in the Military

Speaking of Newsweek, in the most current edition they have an article about the potential end (but seemingly unlikely) of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy when it comes to gays in the service.

This was interesting because in 2007 I was reading articles about the number of “Moral Waivers” were on the rise. Essentially someone convicted of a felony could get a waiver to join the military. I found this odd that the military was OK with felons but not homosexuals serving openly in the army, navy, air force, and marine corp. So back then I drew the below cartoon that was published in November 2007 edition of the now defunct Cincinnati Beacon monthly paper.

Newsweek Magazines Best 2008 Editorial Cartoons also sucks.

In case you missed my post about editorial cartoonists not happy with Time Magazine’s pick for top editorial cartoons of 2008, now it is Newsweek’s turn.

The Daily Cartoonist reports that Association of American Editorial Cartoonists president Ted Rall has now penned an even stronger letter to Newsweek Magazine for their picks of Best cartoons of 2008.

a. Rall seems more irritated that Newsweek would continue to print “safe” cartoons rather than controversial or more thought provoking. But this is an argument to make about all the cartoons they run throughout the year not just their “best of” because,
b. Newsweek seemed to only pick from what cartoons they ran during the year so it only seems right that those would be the choices.
c. With all the cartoonists being put out of work, isn’t it nice someone is still printing anyone’s work?

The article doesn’t link to Newsweek’s choices so I am providing it here.
