Beware The SIxTH

Star Wars Beware the Sith of May from Bearman Cartoons

Today is the day.  Beware of the Sith day.  All over Google Plus on friday I was unindated with posts about “May the Fourth Be With You” in reference to May 4 being Star Wars Day.  So of course I couldn’t go with the masses and needed to blaze my own trail.  Thus Beware the SIxTH of May.  Several people questioned me because there is already a “Revenge of the Fifth” but honestly with the typography and play on Sixth/Sith, mine is way better.

Charity Challenge Update

I can honestly say this is turning out already to be the most successful charity challenge yet only after one week.  So I thank all of you who have already done stuff or are planning to do more.  Let’s look at Week one Breakdown.

$10 for Using ME in their Cartoon –

$10 Blog about the Challenge

$5 Adding me to Blog Roll or Adding Banner

$5 because the Friggin Loon added a category to her posts called “Friggin Ohio Home of Bearman” because even though she is an Aussie somehow, 50% of her posts have to do with crazy people that live within 100 miles of me.

$1 for ever new follower on Google Plus at http://googleplus.beartoons.com

392 NEW FOLLOWERS in a week.  That is more than has “liked” my facebook page in 3 years. haha

Which gives us a week 1 total of ………$482 more than double 2011

PLUS:

I had 3 people donate money to Crayons2Computers in honor of Bearman Cartoons

Holland Rhodes – $5

Shani Hiraoka – $25

Nancy Schreck – $25

So I will be matching those donations with $55 of my own at the end of the month

Please let me know if I missed anyone and if you want to get involved click on the image below.

    Love your new observance of the Sixth of May. You rock.

    I’ve added your banner to my sidebar…does that count?

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Sure does. Will add that to next week’s tally!! Thanks Sandee.

    I’m going to say it – I LIKE Star Wars, but I’m not a huge fan. Does that make me less of a man? Well, maybe, but I got tired of hearing “May the Fourth be with You” the other day. I like this one better.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am probably like you. I really don’t get the whole Clone Wars thing. haha

    2. Tony McGurk Avatar

      I’m less of a man too Nate cos I’m not a Starwars fan either. Congrats on so much charity success already Bearman. As I said before you’re a very kind & generous man

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Thanks Tony. So are you more a Star Trek guy?

        1. Tony McGurk Avatar

          No not really. I like space movies but more realistic type ones rather than ones that are too over the top fantasy types. I dunno if that makes sense but I know what I mean

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Oh so Aliens?? hahah

    3. George Avatar

      I;’m right along with you, Nate. I respect and appreciate the concept behind Star Wars and Star Trek, I cannot make it thru any of the movies at all. I’m not huge on Sci-Fi. My favorite sci-fi movies have been Galaxy Quest and Starship Troopers. So that goes to show you how hapless I am. 🙂

    I like your sixth better as well. Congrats on the charity going so well.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Of course you did….it was ME!! haah

    You seem to be workin’ a lot harder lately and your stuff is lookin really great. Don’t burn yourself out.
    Glad the challenge is goin’ well.
    I’m doin’ as much promotin’ as I can. My sisters used up most of my time this week.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Damn that family. Always getting into your business. Actually working less since I went from 3 posts a week to 2. Gives me more sanity.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        Sanity ain’t always a benefit in this business. 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Insanity helps

  5. Friggin Loon Avatar

    OMG, Bearman’s inner nerd has surfaced…..run!!!!!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You don’t mind my outer nerd so why worry about my inner one. I had to look up Darth Maul’s name so not that big of a nerd

      1. Binky Avatar

        Oh, you’re just being modest.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Like you don’t know you geek.

  6. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    I see DEAD people!
    No, wait… different ‘Sixth’.
    My bad.
    🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Sixth degrees of separation.

      1. Binky Avatar

        I see sixth people.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          What about the 7th person. They are feeling left out.

          1. Red Avatar

            No more than the one left out of the nine out of ten.
            Red.

            That is me and I like to be original

    Of course yours is way better!

    Oddly enough, whenever I read “May the Forth Be With You” I imagine the person with a lisp…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Same with Beware the Sixth…

  9. JerryBenedict Avatar

    I’m of that generation of kids who had seen the first one when it came out… I think it’s something that everyone my age remembers seeing in the theater the first time, and being blown away by it. I’m still pretty fond of it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      What is amazing is even before Lucas’ tinkering, the effects stand up to time 35 years later

  10. JillsyGirl Studio Avatar

    Gosh, Bear, I have to get my act together and mention this in my next post. You’re outdoing yourself each year…high-5 big guy!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank Bean!!

  11. Jack of Gulls Comic Avatar

    Killer design. Unfortunately Star Wars sank like a rock with me after the re-releases in the late 90’s. The franchise hit rock bottom with Jar Jar Binks. I have to say my nerd alliance is with Star Trek.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Am I the only person in the world who actually likes Jar Jar? I think he was great.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        There are at least 2 of us. Jar Jar was awesome!

  12. soma Mukherjee Avatar

    Hi I have put a large poster of Beartoons on my widget please check whenever you get time and tell me If i have done it right

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Wow…thank you thank you thank you. Another $5

      If you have a 125×125 banner ad I would be happy to add it to my site as well.

  13. George Avatar

    I love your take on the Star Wars stuff (very nice Sith). I’m also glad to see the Challenge is even more successful than last year’s already. I’ll be doing my part to help out very soon.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I realized why I never did superhero stuff…that was damn hard to do.

      1. George Avatar

        Now you know why I prefer to draw cartoon-style for the most part. I can crank those out all day long. 🙂

  14. Scott Avatar

    Holy help, Bearman–that’s alot of good will. Good going, and good going to all participating!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Scott. Got your banner up too!!

  15. James Avatar

    A Beautiful Darth maul Sir.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      When I was half way through I wondered why the heck I even attempted it but it turned out great. IMO.

  16. lisleman Avatar

    I don’t even know how many Star Wars movies there were. I enjoyed the first few and remember taking my young daughter to one where she fell asleep. She is now married with 3 kids. Time flies. It was one of the later ones in the series that introduced Sith – right?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yes. The first of the new ones. Episode I

      At least I don’t think the concept was in the original 3 but I don’t remember.

  17. Japanese Ghost Avatar

    I thought this was a much better idea than Revenge of the Fifth. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Me too!!!

  18. DadaHyena Avatar

    Nice job…now watch as Star Wars nerds everywhere start pretending this was THEIR idea!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Everyone steals my ideas. I am just lazier than most to make money off my ideas.

  19. Unapologetically Mundane Avatar

    I was lured here by Spilled Ink Guy’s many (er, two) references to Ohio in his blog post about you. You may appreciate that while I’ve never seen Star Wars, I got the word “sith” while playing Draw Something the other day and drew people winning 1st through 6th places at the Olympics (what?), circled the sixth one, and then wrote “-x”. I’m really, really good at this game.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank you Ms Mundane or should I call you Unapologetically?? Funny I haven’t played draw something. I might get way too distracted.

  20. Tony DiGerolamo Avatar

    In honor of Sith Day, I beat the crap out of several Star Wars fans.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      The didn’t take you down with their sabers?

  21. Tyler Avatar

    I like it. I appreciate any opportunity to wear a cape.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well you missed nurses day.

  22. Young American Wisdom Avatar

    Darth Maul was a popular costume in our house a few years ago. Now they prefer serial killers and Doctor Death. I think I liked Darth Maul better.
    Glad to hear the fundraiser is going well. Congrats.

    1. Young American Wisdom Avatar

      Oh, and by the way, thanks so much for keeping me in the know with the lovely video. I just about fell out of my chair. Makes LFMAO seem like Seasame Street.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        You need to look up some of his hits. They are all mushy and stuff. Quite the departure.

  23. Deb Avatar

    Of course your is better, Bearman!

  24. Mark Stokes Avatar

    Great idea, Bearman, very inventive use of the light sabers! Love the Sith Lord art!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Mark. Hated drawing that damn thing.
