New Banner Ad – Celebrity II

I got several thumbs up and a few thumbs down on my animated Charlie Sheen Banner so I figured I would make a second celebrity focused on that was a static image of several that I have done over the years.

See all of them on the banner ad page.   And be sure to check back on Sunday as I will start the 2011 Bearman Cartoons Charity Challenge.

Editorial Cartoon: Tracy Jones and Scott Sloan

It’s been a while since I have done an editorial cartoon with a local flair.  Tracy Jones  and Scott Sloan do an afternoon talk show on 700WLW in Cincinnati.  Tracy played professional baseball for 5 years (on five different teams).  Taking nothing away from that accomplishment, Tracy (tongue in cheek) is always telling Sloan that he doesn’t understand:

• Professional Baseball Players
• Any professional or college athlete
• Celebrities
• Pretty much anything else

…because Scott “Never played the Game“  

Recently they have been discussing how Cincinnati Red’s pitcher Mike Leake was arrested for shoplifting.  Leake’s actually bought some shirts and went to exchange them.  Rather than asking for a salesperson’s help, he decided he didn’t have time as he was late getting to the ballpark.  So he exchanged his shirts by putting back his previously purchased ones and tore tags off the ones he wanted, put them back in his bag and walked out the door.

Tracy of course said the rest of us wouldn’t understand how a professional ballplayer doesn’t have the time to wait around for sales clerks to wait on them.  Scott responded that the rest of us know better than to think we are entitled to make up our own rules.

Anyone ever come across someone who was “entitled” to not follow the rules because of their position or celebrity?  Or, know of someone who was a “expert” in one field that thinks they know everything about every other field?

*** UPDATE ****
Scott emailed me to say that he loved the cartoon and has posted it on his blog.

Matzah Ball Cartooon

Happy Passover to my Jewish friends.  This Matzah (Matza, Matzo…damn how do you spell it?) Ball Cartoon was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend.  His girlfriend is Jewish and he went to her house for Passover seder.  He said he really loved the Matzah Ball soup.  I asked him if he knew whether or not they cut the balls off the matzah before or after killing it in the wild.  He looked at me confused for a minute.

I also made this image.  Thoughts on whether I should put it on a t-shirt?

Webcomics: What’s Cooking II

So back in October I spoke about a project called Webcomics: What’s Cooking.    In it I told you

…long time Beartoons supporter Byron Wilkins of 1977 the Comic has teamed up with Kurt Sasso of TGT Webcomics  for a cause near to my heart – Fighting Hunger.  They have collected food related cartoons and recipes from various artists and are in the process of putting them together a cookbook collection.   The proceeds of the book will support Food Banks in the United States and Canada.

I am not in the book but I promised those who asked that I would publish my recipe once the book was in print.  My Monkey Bread Recipe is the best you will find out there.  Some people call it “Pull Apart Cake” but Monkey Bread has a better ring to it.

Anyway, I got my copy this past week and love it.  Regulars here including George Ford (Addanac City) and Dr. Carlo Jose San Juan (Callous Comics) are in there with great entries. 

But I have to say the two that made me laugh the most was Dave Reddick of Legend of Bill and our own Aidan Casserly of Scapula.   Bill is a Barbarian so Dave’s recipe was “Big Barbarian Burgers”  First ingredient – “Beef”.  Second ingredient “Beef”.  Third ingredient – “Beef”.  Just like a real Barbarian.  And Aidan had Scapula performing community service by teaching us all how to make a pot of coffee.

So order your own copy and support the hungry.
