Editorial Cartoon: Facebook and Email

Here is a potential real FAIL for you.  Facebook has announced that they will now offer email service for it’s members allowing you to send emails to people outside your friend list.  With all the controversy surrounding privacy issues with Facebook, I think I’ll take a pass.

What embarrassing things could Facebook reveal to your “friends” if this happened?  C’mon you can tell us; it won’t get past this blog.

Guest Cartoons Needed

December is going to be another busy month and I am taking time off around Christmas so I’m putting out a call for guest cartoons.  This is a great way to promote your cartoons to my readers using YOUR characters.  Since I don’t have recurring characters I tend to choose ways for your to use your characters in unique ways.  I’m adding a second option for those who don’t have recurring characters or who want a different choice.

WHAT?

Option 1: What if one of your characters was cast instead of the original actor in your favorite tv show, cartoon, or movie?

Option 2: Use ME in a cartoon. Use “BEARMAN” somewhere in the toon. Maybe it’s a character’s name, a name on a bar sign in the background or even loosely as “Check out that Bear, man!”

How Big
Size matters. Width no greater than 500 pixels. Length doesn’t matter.

When
From now until December 20. I might post some early depending on response and my own schedule but will let you know.

Bio
Especially for those I am not familiar with give me a short paragraph on your cartoon/blog.

Send to bearmancartoons ((AT)) yahoo (DOT) com.

Thanks and spread the word.

Editorial Cartoon: Pam Anderson and Topless Jewish Men

There are times when my humor tends toward a side that may lean toward vulgar; so for those of you offended I apologize.  HOWEVER, in my defense, I use my wife as a litmus test of things that are funny or too risque.  She was all about this cartoon idea when I explained it to her.  So any complaints I will be happy to forward to her.

It seems PETA spokewoman, former Baywatch star and Playboy model, Pamela Anderson is out to use her ”powers of seduction” on the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men of Israel by trying to get them to not block a bill currently being floated by Iraeli lawmakers on banning the trade of fur in the country.  Seems the traditional hat worn by Hasidic men on the holidays is many times made of fur.

And yes, before the responses come, I know that beavers still have fur.  But saying from “mink to beaver” just wasn’t as funny.

Stand up for WWE: I’m with Vinny

Last week some of you may recall I posted about Surya Yalamanchili, only one of two federal candidates who were not accepting Political Action Committee funds in their campaign.  The other was Linda McMahon, former CEO of the WWE. 

Well as Linda’s campaign took on steam, it seemed the press and politicians decided to take pot shots at her via the actions of the WWE.  Smartly the company has created a viral campaign to Stand Up for the WWE and responded to allegations against it.

So given that I continue to have wrestling fans visit my site because of my WWE Signs (and being used in wrestling stories), I decided to help in the viral campaign with the above image of Linda’s husband and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.  (Any similarities between “I’m with Vinny” and “I’m with CoCo” design for Conan O’Brien by Michael Mitchell are strictly coincidental satirical.)

So wrestling fans, feel free to download the image above and use it in blogs, facebook, twitter etc.  You do not need to give me credit (though it would be nice) but you may not sell the image or put the image on any items for sale (ie t-shirts). 

Would be hilarious to see “I’m with Vinny” signs popping up at WWE events.  Use the contact button above if you need a higher resolution version (about 2.5x the size of this one).  I’d be happy to send.  And keep me posted on how you have used it.
