Ok so I am over a week late to wish my Aussie friends a Happy Australia Day but other posts came up first. Long time Bearmaniacs might remember a similar cartoon that I did in 2009 (see post here). In that post it was all about how Aussie men confessed to not changing their undies for days and the fact that, like their American Brothers, are an obese bunch.
Someone on G+ found it and linked to it and then Dunken Bliths used his magic to animate and change the word balloon just in time for Australia Day.
For the uniformed what we call Speedos are known as Budgy Smugglers in Australia. A Budgie is a small parrot native to Australia and the look of some guy wearing this bathing suit is like someone smuggling a Budgie in their pants. Some guys decided to make a brand called Budgy Smugglers (mispelling Budgie but not wanting to change it).

Damn I wish mine were that big. And you very tastefully hid the budgie behind the dunlop. With the price of things in Oz these days, the Ozzie dudes soon won’t be able to afford the maintenance expenses of those dunlop over the belt.
Belly or undies?? I didn’t know many other people knew what Dunlop Disease was. It was one of my dad’s favorite jokes.
Some people have the Furniture disease. That is where their chest has done fell down into their drawers.
ha…like that one too.
A bunch of us had a long conversation about Speedos the other day. They are not attractive for the most part. Just saying. Happy Australia Day!
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Given that you were on vacation, I am sure you saw some amazing scenes and some funny ones.
Just like Sandy, I know them by Speedos…Very tacky indeed, even on the most fit of bodies….just my opinion you know. But just the same…Happy Australia Day!
That is better than those Borat swim suits haha
Ageed!
WOW!!! Thanks Bearman for doing another caricature of me. Although you forgot my mo… I don’t have a pair of budgie smugglers as Michelle reckons they are gross
To re-word that. I’m not allowed to have a pair of budgie smugglers as Michelle reckons they are gross
So she makes you wear long johns to bed I presume as well.
I do have a pair of long johns that I wear under my bike jeans in winter but I’ve never worn them to bed.
And for the record I change my jocks daily
That’s because you don’t want to give those dogs another reason to sniff at your crotch.
hehe . 🙂
Wow, now that is disturbing.
Does the shoe (er budgy) fit?
I don’t wear shoes, actually.
You cut off the budgie , you tease!!!!
Man boobs and budgie smugglers, so Australian!!!!!
So I’ll fit right in if I visit.
Indeed 🙂
That’s a solid B-cup
There is nothing solid about that.
So, I assume it’s safe to say that I shouldn’t import my vast personal collection of photos of me in Speedos to my Google + profile, huh?
You guys spoil all my fun. 🙁
Oh no…YOU SHOULD. ha
The Leader of the Opposition here is regularly photographed wearing his budgie smugglers. We also call them dick stickers
Stickers? eww….wash every once in a while and it isn’t sticky.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Well done!
Thanks!
I can’t be blamed for this one!
I never hit the beach in anything less concealing than a full-on wetsuit (and I don’t even swim)!
🙂
That is probably more to hide you peeing yourself rather than make it back to the hotel bathroom.
Ha!
Wait…
you mean…
you aren’t supposed to… just go? Right there?
🙂
Yes…the wet suit acts as a filter.
OMG! That is… just… umm… astounding! I don’t have a clue what you are talking about. Underwear? Just a guess.
But that animation is wonderful. Makes me dizzy and slightly nauseous to look at it but it’s too fascinating to look away from the amoeba-like morphing. The drawing itself is very very good, Bearman! <3
The original pic was underwear but this rendition is supposed to represent a bathing suit.
Y’all excuse me while I go wash out my brain.
Wash your mouth out while you are at it.
Oh no… this cartoon be be burned into my consciousness!
I’ll try harder to make it worse the next time.
‘e bounces more than a kangaroo!
But where is room for the pouch?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEUCK!
Do you think any Aussies stick feathers in them as a joke?
haha probably…wait what are we talking about?
Work for them thong dollaz, big bloke! Repulsive, yet hypnotic, Bearman! Can’t tear my watering eyes away!
Were those tears of pain or laughter?
Both, Bearman, definitely both!
I’ll never be able to look a budgie in the eye again!
Which budgie are we talking about?
You’ve ruined all budgies for me.
Didn’t realize you were a fan.
God, I hope they at least turn their underwear inside out.
Why show the racing stripes
For some sick reason, it’s hard to take my eyes off this.
cuz you are SICK
This character reminds me of a certain relative from over the pond! Love the animation!
Of course it is an inlaw.
interesting info on the history of the budgy smugglers.
This is a learning facility don’t you know.
That movement is freakin me out. Well done though.
If it didn’t I would worry.
