Editorial Cartoon: Facepalm – Facebook goes Public

Editorial-Cartoon Mark Zuckerberg Facebook Facepalm

I actually previewed this editorial cartoon on Google Plus on Friday.  It was well received due to the timing and my predictive nature on Thursday night when I drew this that the Facebook IPO would be less than stellar.   Poor Mark Zuckerberg has to do a facepalm instead of promoting his facebook.  Though none of us should feel sorry for them as all the pre IPO stock holders will cash out for bookoo bucks.   Besides Mark got to marry his college sweetheart over the weekend and since he knew her before he was rich, you know she wasn’t in it for the money.  Congrats to the couple.

Charity Challenge Update

Week 3 Breakdown:

$10 for Using ME in their Cartoon –

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

584 NEW FOLLOWERS in a week.

Which puts us way the hell over my goal of $1000 to those charities.  Thank you thank you.  I maxed out for the first time in 4 years.  However…

I know there are a couple cartoonists who expressed interest in still doing a Bearman Cameo this month so for anyone else that does, I will donate the $10 to Crayons to Computers.  Also there is still time to donate to Crayons to Computers in honor of Bearman Cartoons.  Remember I will match those donations.

    I don’t own stocks myself, I’m a cartoonist and I have the bank account balance to prove it! 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      haha. We cartoonists should sell stock in cartoons. Any buyers?

    I don’t do Facebook and I sure wouldn’t invest in Facebook. Sure wish I would have invested in Google though.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

      You and my wife are the last facebook hold outs Sandee…haha

      1. nursemyra Avatar

        I like to think I’m a holdout too. I very rarely venture into FB territory

        1. Bearman Avatar

          As a brand, I have a lot to say and feel the need to engage. As a person I do not.

    good call and cartoon – I did not know he got married. I heard many of the pre-IPO winners got it for less than $2 a share.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      BASTARDS!! I don’t want to buy IPO stocks…I want to buy PRE IPO stocks.

      1. Binky Avatar

        I’ll sell you some pre IPO Wombania stock.

    Great cartoon. Yeah i read something about him getting married. He is strange dude if you have read some stuff about what he does when he is not at the office. zman sends

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think he has done a pretty good job of keeping his private life private.

    became incredibly wealthy on Friday

    lost 50% of that wealth on Saturday

    Mark Zuckerberg changed his status to – married
    Priscilla Chan changed her status to – jackpot

      1. Bearman Avatar

        She is a doctor so maybe she doesn’t want his money….bwahahahahah

        1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

          Doctors always seem to want my money. 🙂

    You’re a hero, Bearman!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Do I get to wear a cape? Will Marvel make a movie about me?

      1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

        No…No… We don’t want to see Bearman in tights.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Naked?? You are a perv!

    I wonder how many employees will resign from Facebook now they are millionaires?

      1. George Avatar

        Do you think they announce their resignation as their status update?

        The only thing weird about quitting working for Facebook is that you still have to use FB the next day. 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          The really weird thing about working at FB is that you really can’t deny your employer to check out your account.

          1. Friggin Loon Avatar

            The big question is do you automatically get defriended if you quit?

          2. Bearman Avatar

            No you just get poked alot.

    Way to go Bearman on the Charity Challenge. Google+ is goin’ to make another Zuckerman out of you. I’m just waitin’ for you to go public.

    I really don’t understand all these internet stocks bein’ worth so much but my mind kinda boggles a little when you get into billions.

    I’m workin’ on goin’ public with Gatorhead Enterprises but I am not sure all 12 of my fans would even buy stock.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I would like to get into your stock pre IPO for $.01 a share. I got $10 here to buy 1000 shares. How is that?

      1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

        Can you wire me the money before lunch. My wife and I can have a Happy Meal.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Isn’t every meal with your wife Happy?

          1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

            Is this a trick question?

  11. Binky Avatar

    I feel so so sorry for Mark.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am sure he will be consoled by his new wife and his new millions.

      1. Binky Avatar

        But still, such a disappointing launch.
        Oh, and she wants a divorce.

  12. Mark Stokes Avatar

    Oh, what’s a few less billion, anyway?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Give me a few and you will know.

  13. Jenn Avatar

    Well hey, he has nothing to complain about! He’s a billionaire!

    Something, something, something… about going public with Facebook.

    In other news, I didn’t know you were a prophet.

    1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

      No no…he would just love to make a profit.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        I would happily spend my life making a profit as a prophet.

  17. Deb Avatar

    No facebook for me…yet. Therefore no investing either.
    You’re have a great turn-out with the charity, Bearman!…Good job!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Don’t even go there. you do fine without it.

    Facebook can be a cool thing. If people would use it for the right thing.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      It is a cool thing for reconnecting with old friends…and people who now claim you were their best friend in HS.

    Great news on the Charity Challenge!!! Well done generous kind caring guy.
    I don’t feel sorry for Poor Mark Zuckerberg. He’s in the 1% & I say he should share the wealth!!! Especially with me & you

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am sure he does his share…just not with you or me.

    I’m so sorry I missed this year. I cannot tell you how busy I have been to break your bank. Nice to see others stepped up to the plate though. Fantastic news- now you’re poor like the rest of us. How’s it feel? 🙁
