I am working on a few different cartoons to “celebrate” Sesame Street turning 40. Because after 40 everything turns to crap.
Looks like I am not the only one with Sesame Street cartoons this week. Check out Agent-X and Spud Comics for more.

Thought I would start a new periodic feature to supplement the traditional Bearman Cartoons. SFTH or Straight From the Headlines will have me perusing local newspapers from around the globe and posting that which I find interesting or humorous.
Given that I am more popular in Australia than America, my first stop was the Australian papers. I was going to do something on the Prime Minister being “soft” on immigration violations, but then this article about Aussie men and their underwear habits caught my eye. (The Friggin Loon also picked up on this story. I think because she has a google alert on “men’s undies”.)
Australian men were surveyed and half stated that they wait 2 or 3 days (which means 3-7 days) before changing their underwear for a fresh pair. If that wasn’t funny enough, I went on to read this blurb:
Adelaide stylist Filip Odzak said men should pick flattering and attractive undies over name brands. “What every man needs for the best result is a pair of basic black jocks or jock briefs – they always look great,” he said.
This got me thinking. Do Australian men all look like Hugh Jackman? Nope. Seems over 60% of Aussie men just like their chubby American cousins are overweight or Obese. So black jocks on heavy men? I know I long ago switched to boxer-briefs. It is very slimming.

The Beatles started it all when turning to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for spiritual advice. Then came the Dalai Lama. Next was Scientology and Kabbalah. Now it seems when celebrities find themselves in a moral dilemma (or a rather a publicity crisis) the man to turn to is Kosher Sex author, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.
Obviously Michael Jackson and now Jon Gosselin are his higher profile devotees but what other celebs have/will turn to the Rabbi to right their moral compass.

I am sure I am not the first to think about this cartoon idea when I heard that Marge Simpson is going to be the centerfold on an upcoming issue of Playboy Magazine. I guess the phrase does the carpet match the curtains is true in her case.
I hear there is a huge following for cartoon porn. Personally I don’t get it. On the bright side I guess I’ll get a lot of traffic from pervs.

David Letterman admitted this week to having at least one affair with a staffer and at least one other has come out. His production company is known as Worldwide Pants. As the title of this editorial cartoon says “Worldwide Pants INDEED”.

Just another “only in Cincinnati” event. Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding is looking at all angles to attack aggressive panhandling in the city (which I applaud). However his latest proposed tactic (read about it here and here) would actually charge a commercial tax to the homeless who panhandle.
Then again, isn’t the government already an aggressive pandhandler???

Did a new cartoon entry for Comic Strip Improv and this time the topic was ‘Evil Twin”. Will post it later but for now you can see it at their site. If you want, go to the home page and login with your openid if you want to vote. Personally I think they should open it up to anyone to vote whether they sign in or not b/c they aren’t getting many voters and I think it is ultimately hurting their number of entries.
UPDATE!!!! Here is the pic.
It must be tough being an Elvis Impersonator these days. People who were alive when Elvis was are becoming older and now with the untimely death of Michael Jackson, you will have all his impersonators cashing in. Them along with people hawking t-shirts and other unlicensed crap (as well as the occassional editorial cartoonist taking advantage of the situation).
So my three predictions:
1. Michael Jackson Impersonators will be getting alot of work.
2. Debbie Rowe will come out and say Michael is NOT the biological father of his children in her attempt to get custody (or at least more money)
3. Someone will link prediction 2 with Billy Jean (ie. The kids not my son) in either song or late night joke form.

ONE DAY LEFT… so spread the word about my charity challenge. Click the image below for details.
So the Iranian High Pooba has announced that there will be “limited” recount of the votes. What exactly does that mean? Well Jeff Jena thinks he has some answers. Jeff is not only a funny working comedian but a sometimes right-wing conspiracy purveyor and asked me to collaborate with one of my editorial cartoons on an article he was doing for Big Hollywood.
Big Hollywood is a site created by Andrew Breitbart, a former Drudge Report editor. The site is a collaboration of right leaning people in Hollywood and the issues they face.
As I typically do with guest cartoons that I draw, here is the link to check out the article. In a few days, I’ll post it here as well.

Several days ago, Larry Fire had an interesting post about Canadien photographer Dina Goldstein’s recent project on Fallen Princesses. Here is one of them…check them all out on her site:
So not to leave well enough alone, I thought there were some princesses she missed, including Princess Fiona from Shrek. Maybe Lord Farquad did get some attention before Fiona married Shrek. For my overseas friends, Maury is a reference to talk show host Maury Povich who 9 times out of 10 is doing a show on people trying to prove or disprove the paternity of a baby.
