Editorial Cartoon: Fergie on Oprah

Every once in a while I have to throw my many overseas fans a bone and do a cartoon that the Americans don’t get.  It seems like former Princess and the original Fergie has gotten into hot water lately for trying to sell access to her ex husband in exchange for cash.

On the bright note there are things she won’t do for cash.  Like sleep with a Saudi millionaire in exchange for $3 Million.  The question is why come on Oprah for your mea culpa.  True Oprah is the queen of tv but Americans really could care less.  The people she needs to apologize to are the loyal subjects of her Majesty who help foot the bill for her alimony.

BTW…sorry for the terrible caricature of Fergie.  Some people I just can’t do.  But my Oprah ain’t bad.

Shirt of the Month: Got Hole?

Shirt sales at my store are funny like Stumpleupon.  With Stumble Upon, I can get no traffic for weeks and then all of the sudden I notice a blog I wrote weeks earlier suddenly is getting hits.  Same with my store.  I can go weeks without a sale and then suddenly something starts selling with no explanatin.

This month it has been my “Got Hole?” tshirt.  For the uninitiated it is an outdoor game much like a cross between curling and horseshoes.  In Cincinnati, we call it CORN HOLE (yes plenty of references can be made) and in other areas it is sometimes known as Baggo.  The idea is that there are two sloped boxes each with a hole in the middle.  Players take turns throwing bean bags towards the box across the way while trying to knock the other players bag off the box.  One point for landing on the box and three for getting it in the hole.

While I am always happy for the sales, it is frustrating that the design that was probably one of the easiest I did is selling so well while the ones I spend several hours on lay dormant.

Three days left in the Charity Challenge.  I’ll post results on Tuesday!

George Ford is a BEARMANiac FREAK!!!

One of the first people to support me online was George Ford of Addanac City.   And no matter what, he always comes through on challenges or guest cartoon requests.  So I waited with baited breath to find out what he would do for the Bearman Charity Challenge.

This was his message sent along with his BEARMANia picture.  “After long deliberation, I have decided to release my entry into Bearmaniac-ville. Hope ya get a kick out of it! ”

All I will say is that use extreme caution before you decide if you will open the picture by clicking on the image below.  You will have one of three reactions:

1. Be appalled by what you see.

2. Be enraptured by what you see (especially the ladies and men who associate with this type of Bear)

3. Wet yourself laughing.

Bearman Cartoon: Bristol Palin’s Speaking Fees

I am a firm believer in allowing private family members of public figures to be removed from public scrutiny.  That is UNTIL they themselves decide to become a public figure.   It was announced last week that Bristol Palin (daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin) is going on the speakers tour to talk about “don’t screw up and have a kid like I did as a teenager”. 

Reports are that she will get between $15-30,000 per speech.  That really busts my chops.  Why weren’t my parents more popular?  My life could be so much easier.
