Guest Cartoon: Noel Curry

Bearman Cartoons Guest Cartoon by Noel Curry

When I returned from vacation, I was pleasantly surprised to find a guest cartoon from the illustrious Noel Curry waiting in my inbox.  Noel is the mind behind both DJ Bogtrotter Cartoons and Milton’s Life Cartoon.  And if that weren’t enough, he is a prolific twitterer and the mind behind Tuesday Sketch. 

Tuesday Sketch is a weekly challenge for anyone who wants to put pencil to paper and draw the weekly challenge.  Follow Noel on Twitter and each Tuesday he announces the topic and those willing post their results to the Tuesday Sketch Flickr Group.  Yours truly has submitted in the past (see here and here).

Thanks again Noel.

    I can imagine Bearman’s face on the Joker Card. Good one Noel.

      Really? I was imagining yours.

          Have we had this conversation before? I didn’t have a feeling of deja vu all over again or anything.

    Brilliant! So simplistic, yet so original!

      Simplistic but unoriginal is how I am sometimes portrayed.

    Soon as I saw this the Juice Newton song came to my mind.

    “Playing with the Queen of Hearts. You know it ain’t really smart. The Joker ain’t the only fool, who’ll do anything for you….”

    Great Job Noel.

      You know it ain’t really smart. I always heard that line as “You know you are the village tart”

    Like it – good stuff –
    I guess he made her show her hand.
    I’ve posted about Bent Objects before and maybe you are familiar with Terry Border’s work. This looks lot like some of the card stuff he did recently.

      I have seen his stuff before but didn’t remember his name. Anyone interested in Terry’s work can find it here

      joker, JOKER, JOKER!!! ok I am dating myself.

        I hope it turns into a lasting relationship.

    good one Noel,
    now if the queen knew that the king was messing around with Jack…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Isn’t Jack their son???

      1. feverbeaver Avatar

        hence why it would be more scandalous!

          1. Friggin Loon Avatar

            Hmm, is the Joker playing with a fool deck?

      2. Mark Avatar

        Let’s hope it was at least the Jack of diamonds. I would guess that they’re maybe first cousins or something, but c’mon this is royalty, they have more important things to worry about than imbreeding.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I thought that was the problem with Royalty WAS all the inbreeding.

    If I had a nickel….

    1. Bearman Avatar

      then you would have 5 cents.

      1. Tony Avatar

        or a nickel…

      2. Mel Avatar

        And in Europe that 5 cents would exchange for less than 1 cent Euro 🙁

        I’m an American living in Europe so I dislike this one.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Go to Costa Rica and that 5 cents would be 500x more in colones.

          1. Colleen Dick Avatar

            Really is Costa Rica’s currency that boogered?

          2. Bearman Avatar

            Oh yeah…I’ll have more on Sunday.

    That looks like one of Bearman’s shoes sticking out to me. 🙂 Good work, Noel! This is one of my favorite visually-pleasing cartoons of the New Year.

      I wear a size 11.

  10. Binky Avatar

    Haha. The Joke’s on him. The King I mean. Not you, Bearman.

  11. Tony Avatar

    Ha Ha Good one Noel, that Joker’s such a card

      Bearman

      He should be DEALT with

  12. DadaHyena Avatar

    Nice how he perfectly captured the old arch-rivalry between Bearman and the Joker.

    …or some other B–Man who fights Joker. Close enough.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      The other bman has cooler gadgets.

  13. Mel Avatar

    This cartoon is obviously about to get violent! What is the king hiding behind his head?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I didn’t notice that. Look how distraught he is.

  14. Friggin Loon Avatar

    I thought the ace was in the hole 🙁

    1. Bearman Avatar

      So bad. So bad.

  15. Souldose Avatar

    Aaaaaahhhhhh, this is just too cute

    1. Bearman Avatar

      How come you don’t say that about my cartoons? haha

      1. chicky Avatar

        ah souldose..the nigerian scam is back!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Wait? You are saying I have been had?

    Gotta love them wild cards 🙂

      There’s a bunch of ’em that visit here.

    Is the king about to play his death card?
    Queen better recognise

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Oh she does. She’ll make it his fault somehow.

  18. Colleen Dick Avatar

    Thar ya go bearman! A new trend in swag. We cartoonists should put something like this together. A custom deck of cards with our main characters as the faces or even some of the numbers, and ourselvesas the joker. Of course you can be the Joker. I need to find a real artist to work out how to do this.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That is a great idea. I’ll have to think on that.

      1. Binky Avatar

        A grand idea, but everyone would want to be King! I think even my own characters would fight it out amongst themselves for that honor.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I want to be the 2 of clubs. Why? Deuces end up being wild.
