  • Z&G at 1

    Unlike the first two guest cartoons, Roland Perez of Metal Jaw Comics and more specifically Z&G decided to showcase his characters at age one.   Z is Zech and is a Zombie.  G is Geist and is a Ghost.  Thus explains what Roland said when he sent my the cartoon:

    Here is the guest cartoon for 1 or 100. Of course I went with a somewhat disturbing choice with picking baby Z & G. Which is disturbing because it is weird to think of a baby zombie and a baby ghost. I hope you like it. I got a bit of inspiration from one of my favorite cartoons “Muppet Babies”

    Definitely plenty of inspiration shown from the Muppet Babies but who is that handsome fellow on the wall?   Love it.  Thanks again to all my guest cartoonists.  Make sure to follow all of them on Social Media and continue to check out their sites.

    Soory for the delay on this one it showed it missed the scheduled posting.  If it knew that why didn’t it just post?

     

     

  • Welcome to the Jungle at 100

    Today’s Guest Cartoon is from Michael Pohrer of Tooned In/Welcome to the Jungle fame.  Here is how Michael describes his webcomic:

    There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man … a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. There’s a sign post up ahead, your next stop Welcome To The Jungle©. In their Golden Age glory we present Earl and Cami Bronze 2062.

    Welcome To The Jungle© is a feature cartoon strip that revolves around Bronze’s fitness center owned by Earl Bronze. Earl seems to effortlessly glide about the daily business of running a fitness center located in Osage Beach, a bustling paradise. Cami Bronze is Earl’s wife. As luck would have it they live right next door to Jim and Edna Jungle.

    Jim Jungle is a fitness instructor at Bronzes. Edna Jungle, Jim’s wife tries to cope with everyday life while dealing with Jim’s foibles and failings. Jim and Edna are an average couple grinding through daily life just as you and your neighbors.

    Chip Diel and Chet Rayban are two regular fitness center members. The duo work out often with little to show for their effort.

    The whole premise of the strip centers around typical daily life. Except for one thing, “IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE”. Witness the spectacle of human failings through the outrageously overactive antics of a huge dysfunctional group of the most unlikely characters to ever be found at a fitness center in a bustling paradise. Presented in the fabulous 2-D Cartoon-O-Vision format. Welcome To The Jungle©

    I don’t think Michael is ever at a loss for words.  haha.  He doesn’t have comments on his site right now but he is very active on Google Plus so feel free to comment on his work (well other than this one) over there or interact with him.  (Michael’s Google Plus link).  Thanks Michael.

  • PikPak at 100

    First Guest Cartoon while I am away is Kim Belding’s PicPak Webcomic.   Shown is PicPak the dog at age 100.  Here is how Kim describes the webcomic:

    Picpak Dog is a simple gag comic that revolves around Picpak, a big pink dog, his wife Wakky, a small blue cat, and all the folleys that they and their friends get themselves into. It’s simple, family-friendly and all-ages fun. The 100-year old here in question is Picpak. Things have changed a lot in the future. Somehow Picpak has aged, but his children haven’t. Kids these days.

    Thanks Kim for being first out of the gate and first to send me a guest cartoon.  I love the socks with sandals look.  So dad-like.   Go show Kim some love.  Thanks

    Stef Marcinkowski of the web graphic novel Sarah Zero, surprised me with this parody send up of Metallica’s album cover from “Master of Puppets”.     The original can be found on Wikipedia

    Check out Stef’s blogpost that describes his process.   FIFTEEN HOURS, yes I said 15 hours to complete this monstrous task.  And with an infant crawling around the house too.  That is a true Bearmaniac!!

  • Kermit Eating Pork: George Ford Guest Cartoon

    Kermit eating Ham

    I was happy to get this awesome and hilarious guest cartoon from our friend George Ford of Addanac City fame.   Of course nothing is funnier than Kermit the frog of Muppets fame eating pork.  I guess Miss Piggy was upset that it wasn’t her that he was eating….ahem.  Nevermind.

    For those have been around a while you know that my friend George likes to playfully think that I am robbing my jokes from him from time to time.  See this post where I had to call him out.   Well as funny as George’s cartoon was it only reminded me of this image from Noel Curry of DJ Bogtrotter  that I have been seeing flying around facebook and Google Plus oh for some 9 months now.  It was originally posted on the Short Attention Span Comic.  Thanks Neal for finding it.

    Got ya G!! (though I do think yours is way better)

  • Sara Mena draws Bearman Cartoons

    One of my new friends I found on Google Plus is Illustrator Sara Mena.  She is one of those artists whose work I am constantly in awe of.  Her line work and coloring is just amazing.

    The other day she posted that she was heading to CARNAVAL (for the uninformed it is like Mardi Gras but in Brazil and way more out there).  Joking as if I read it as if she were going to the “carnival”, I asked her to bring me back some Cotton Candy.  So a few days later to my amazement this image popped up in my stream.

    You can follow Sara on Google Plus or Twitter.

    Also this week I did a guest cartoon for QuarterBar where I did a mash up of one of his photos and added my cartoon touch to it.  Check it out here.

  • Guest Cartoon: Scapula

    He go check out the guest cartoon I did for Aidan Casserly over at Scapula.

    And check out the one George Ford did as well.

     

  • Guest Cartoon The Lamest and Xmas Cheer

    Occupy North Pole Editorial CartoonThe Christmas gifts keep going. Before getting his site hacked earlier this year, Dr Faust ran the site http://www.thelamest.com/.   His site was full of funny lists and lame things people do.  But I didn’t know he could draw.   Blown away by his Occupy North Pole guest cartoon.  (Click the image to see all the detail)  Hurry back and keep drawing J.

    The next day I checked my email to see some Christmas cheer from Dawn at Zorphbert and Fred Comic.

    Dawn Griffin Christmas Card

    The image depicts Dawn, her husband Rick and their dog April in a classic Grinch who Stole Christmas scene

    Thanks so much to both.  Be safe out there everyone!

  • Redneck Toenail Dryer

    Redneck Toenail DryerSo there IS a story behind this Nate Fakes original cartoon.  Nate Fakes of Mad Magazine, Break of Day and commenting here fame was having an ebay auction where the winner would get a custom cartoon created of anything they wanted.

    Well timing was good because I just had a cartoon worthy experience with the lovely wife.  My wife had just got back from a pedicure to scrub all the debris and fungus off her feet (just kidding honey – not that she reads my blog anyway) and went to get dressed for dinner with our friends.  She came downstairs looking beautiful in her black dress and yet was complaining that due to the humidity her toenails wouldn’t dry.

    The next thing I know this person, who hates the cold and keeps our house in the mid 70’s in the winter, was sitting on the kitchen floor for 10 minutes with her feet in the freezer!  After five minutes, I snapped a picture that subsequently made the rounds with all our friends and family.   Thankfully she puts up with me.

    But of course, I couldn’t let it end there.  When I saw Nate’s plea for bids I jumped at the chance to have it immortalized in cartoon form.  And this is the result.

    Nate is doing another auction this week for a custom cartoon so go check it out and follow Break of Day on Facebook to keep updated on new cartoons and future auctions.

  • Guest Cartoon: Nef of Midtoon

    Guest Cartoon from Nef of Midtoon

    I have them coming out of the woodwork to support the Charity Challenge this year.  Neftali Rivera (Nef) of Midtoon Comics fame presented me with this gem.  Unfortunately life has gotten in the way of Nef updating Midtoon as of late, but I truly appreciate his support in my challenge.

    Love his take of the Bearman gravatar.  I think I would keep the camera off on purpose.

    Charity Challenge continues. See how you can help by clicking below.
