Happy Australia Day

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).

 

Merry Christmas from Wombania

Going to be offline for the next week only checking in periodically. Got a great drawn xmas card in the mail from Nate Fakes and this one from Peter at Wombania.

Try to control yourselves without me this week.

Merry Hanumas – Go Both Ways Greeting Card

It has been a good week. First I have sold a few of the above Merry Hanumas – Go Both Ways designs at my shop.   We have a bunch of Jewish and Christian friends/family so rather than NOT send cards, I design my own.  This was a concept that I never did use for our cards but thought I’d throw it up on my store for the heck of it.  And several people have bought (woohoo $10 for me). And don’t tell me it should be Chrismukkah. That name sucks.

Then I find out that I won a contest over at G’s Cedars Mountain Website.  I don’t recall answering correctly but I am not one to argue especially since he wrote such a nice endorsement of my own blog.  Please go check it out here.

Finally, as I mentioned I have been doing some random Muggings (caricatures).  One I did last week was for fellow cartoonist Jim Huntsman.  He is on Google Plus and has his own site at Comic Kvetches.  This was my payback

Joel Poirier takes on Bearman

This incredible version of the BEARMAN is compliments of Joel Poirier, cartoonist extraordinairre, and creator of Stripped Comics (don’t get any ideas, it is not porn – it’s about Superheroes.)

I have been doing some caricatures on Google Plus that I call “muggings”.  You can check out some I have done here.  Joel thought I should get a taste of my own medicine and drew this up for me.  Love it!!

Make sure to check out Joel and follow him on Google Plus or Facebook

 

UPDATE

Ryan Klassen of City Folk the Webcomic wanted to join the party too so he did a mash up of Steve Buscemi and Bearman.

Find him on Google Plus too.
