      You stepped it up this year. Thanks for all the support.

          Hey Loon, if we silence George, we could be #1 and 2!

    I like the Charlie Sheen one

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Me too…one of my better celebrity caricatures. AND E! did contact me about possibly using it in their remake of the Charlie Sheen True Hollywood Story. Didn’t make the cut.

    My caricature WIN didn’t make the list? Whew! (Kidding…)

    Keep up the great stuff in 2012, sir.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      It was in the top 20. My caricatures got tons of comments

    I remember most of these posts. Now that I have you in my Google Reader I’ll hopefully rank in next years mix. Hope so anyway.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

      I am happy for however much attention you give me!

    I have to say the Bert and Ernie one is my favorite!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I was esp proud of the coloring job I did on that one..thanks

      1. Young American Wisdom Avatar

        That was one of my favorites, too. But my all time favorite is still the asparagus on the toilet. I’m a sucker for potty humor. I’ve been hanging around kids for way too long!

        Always a fun place to visit, Bearman. Looking forward more great stuff from you this year!

    I vote for Bert & Ernie too. But the photoshop/ pumpkin carving tutorial was truly scary. I’ll do Tix next Halloween. Thanks for all your support over the last year.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I’m just happy you are back in the game.

    I remember a few of them. I was thinking about your post the last time I recycled a pizza box. Looking forward to another good year and yes a good comment is the best part of blogging.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      A bad comment isn’t so bad either…at least I know when people are out there and I don’t look like a dumbass talking to myself.

    For some reason, you have transcended from being just your common, average, run-of-the-mill blogger to becoming a celebrity-personality yourself.

    Your posts are interesting and exciting, but you, as a mysterious person are even more so and that adds so much to mystique that your readers are compelled to follow you wherever you go. You don’t find a mix like that hardly anywhere. I feel like royalty just being on the peripheral edge of your stardom. 🙂

    2012 is gonna be even bigger for you, I believe.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Really? Because I was thinking of just packing it all in in 2012. Besides…wasn’t there already a King George? How did he do?

  9. Deb Avatar

    You’ve had a great year, Bearman!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yes I have…thanks D

  10. Jenn Avatar

    2011 looks like a kick ass year for you! All the best in the new year and looking forward to seeing more from Beartoons =)

    1. Bearman Avatar

      It was a great year…thanks for your support.

  11. Binky Avatar

    The Bert & Ernie one was probably my favorite, but I do hold a special affinity for the Pizza box one for some unknown reason.

    I’m number two? I’ll try not to take that personally.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That makes me sad…I thought the Binky Caricature would have been your fav.

      1. Binky Avatar

        I don’t think of my portrait as a post, I consider it a work of art!

  12. MJ Avatar

    Keep the funnies rolling off the boards. Funny stuff!

      1. MJ Avatar

        AHHHHHHHH! No toon yet.

  13. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Loved all of those, Bearman…
    I particularly enjoyed the Hand Dryer, though. And the George Ford caricature.
    Oh *beep*! I think I’ve fallen down a spot or two…
    I think.
    My memory ain’t what it used to be, and it was never anything to write home about.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That is because you posted a lot more in 2011 so you didn’t have as much time to visit..haha

    It’s fun to see your year broken down like that, Bearman. Loyal readers who take time to engage with our work are real treasures. And considering the caliber of your top commentors, I’m happy to be among the ranks of Bearmania fans.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And I am STOKED to call you a BEARMANiac!

  15. Friggin Loon Avatar

    Disappointed King Jong Loon, didn’t make the top ten.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      KING??? We are a little full of ourselves aren’t we?

  16. James Avatar

    Those are powerful lists you got there.

  17. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    Can’t believe I’ve been such a slacker lately and still made the list of commenters. I hope to get back in the game soon.
    Keep up the good work Your Awesomeness.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You are prolific of the tongue.

    Thanks for keeping me up to speed on all the current events that the humans are dealing with on this planet of theirs! If I ever end up trapped in a conversation I’ll have a default I can use.

      All the news that isn’t fit to talk about with your grandma…that’s my motto.

    You made an impression with me. The other day, seriously last week, I was at the grocery store and had to use a hand dryer.

    It made me think of your web comic about how a hand dryer should be labeled.

    I had to partially use my jeans… just like Bearman said.

    I don’t feel too confident that my hands are going to be that clean when I leave the restroom anyhow when the bathroom reeks of urine.

    1. Scholar Mel Avatar

      How did you figure out your top commented posts? Plugin, manually, etc.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        There is a top commenter widget for wordpress that you can set to automatically restart every day, week, month or view select dates.

        Keep your pants dry….

        1. Scholar Mel Avatar

          I use that plugin. It keeps track of top commenters, not top commenters for posts.

          Maybe I am using a different plugin. Mine was created by Lorna Timbah

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Sorry thought that was what you meant. For top posts I just went to my posts and on the list it shows how many comments per. I just made a list of the top ones and then ordered them.

  20. DadaHyena Avatar

    So Nate and George left more comments than me?

    Tuh! Teacher’s pets!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Suck ups the 3 of you…now work harder at it this year.
