  • Bearman Cartoon: Barack goes after AIG

    I am sure there are plenty of cartoonists doing editorial cartoons this week on AIG.

    Barack Obama went after AIG looking for them to not pay the retention bonuses that someone sneakily made a legal obligation.  Unfortunately he was too late as the money had already been paid out.

  • George Ford of Addanac City Guest Cartoon

    A few weeks ago I highlighted the work of George Ford and showcased the guest cartoon I did for his cartoon strip Addanac City.  Instead of his strip style, I used my typical editorial cartoon style.

    George has returned the favor by creating an editorial cartoon for me in his style and using his main character Hank.  I love it.  I can just see Madoff trying to reclaim his fortune by acting like one of those “royal monarchs” that everyone gets spammed with.

    George is letting me post it here first before he posts it on his site so go check out his stuff as he is now updating his cartoons SEVEN days a week.  I give him a month before he burns out. (j/k George).

    Also be sure to check out George’s Addanac City blog as it has different stuff than the main site (one day he will figure out how to meld the two or I’ll figure it out and be able to tell him but he is more web literate than I so I doubt it)

  • Retro Bearman Cartoon: Hypocrites

    Drew this editorial cartoon back in 2006 and titled it hypocrites. Can’t remember what spurred me in the news to do this.  But I do remember my conservative friends commenting on it and arguing that the person on death row had a choice based on his actions.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Don't Watch-Man

    Two blogs that I tend to check out on a regular basis both had reviews of the new move “Watchmen”.

    Now I haven’t seen the movie yet (nor did I read the comic that inspired it) but Tom Richmonds Cartoon Blog and Tannerleah’s Stop Annoying Me Blog, both this week gave much press to the fact that the character Dr Manhatten is nude in much of it and that he has blue junk.  I thought this odd until I googled more reviews and found this being talked about more than other parts of the movie. (See here, here and here for just a few other reviews)

    I’ll be seeing it sometime this week and will give a full review.  I just hope now I can keep from actually looking for the penis.  Maybe when it comes out on video it can become a popular drinking game like “Hi Bob” (bonus if you know what this is referring to).

    Anyway, here is my editorial cartoon take.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Finding the Perfect Job

    It’s that time of year that people in Cincinnati start throwing their hat in the ring to run for city council, so I thought given the tough economic times out there this editorial cartoon was fitting.

  • Is someone trying to tell me to exercise and quit eating junk food?

     I admit, I am a lazy person. Sure I hold down a job and do cartooning on the side. But overall I am lazy. I workout only about once a week (sometimes more) and have to really focus to make better food choices.

    Lately it seems that the world is against me (or at least trying to push me in the direction of making better life choices).

    First it was Olympia. They used to sell this great Caller ID Globe at Brookstone. I can sit on my couch and see who is calling from across the room and decide whether that person was worth getting off my ass for.

    Well it has come time to replace my 5 year old one because the display has gone bad.  Much to my surprise Brookstone no longer carries it and they said the manufacturer has stopped making it.  Ebay still has a few for over $70.  Can’t someone else work this technology?

    In my quest to eat better (notice I said better not great) I started eating Doritos Light a few years ago.

    Also known in some circles as  Poopie Chips b/c they are made with Olestra, I never had intestinal problems eating them.  Honestly I think that whole myth was started because some guy with diarrhea anyway ended up in the test group.  Besides I was hoping for them to have an adverse affect on me figuring I could end up losing a few pounds.   Anyway, I noticed about a year ago that Kroger stopped carrying them.  Typical for Kroger to stop carrying a product I use forcing me to go elsewhere, I went directly to Frito-Lay’s website to find out who carries them.  NO ONE.  They discontinued them and when I spoke to a representative they said that they still had Baked Doritos…uhhh YUCK.   Tastes like cheese flavored cardboard.

    So recently Tostitos Gold has been on the shopping list.  Forget the calorie jump, they taste good.  Now it looks like Frito Lay has done it to me again.  Launched with much fanfare six years ago, they are no longer on the shelf.  A quick review of the Frito-Lay website, doesn’t include them in the list anymore.

    Am I the only one with a kiss of death on products?  Anything you loved that is no longer available?  Maybe I should farm myself out to companies to start using their competitors products.  I could be like the “Cooler” for the retail industry.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Who Stole the McNuggets

    Usually I only do 1-2 toons a week but this one was so timely, it couldn’t wait. I think this has to be one of my favorite editorial cartoons in a while. I love the story of the woman calling 911 three times because McDonalds wouldn’t give her money back when they were out of McNuggets. Now I don’t blame the woman for being pissed but come on…THREE TIMES.

    This tells me that we haven’t done a good enough job advancing the use of 311…the non emergency three-digit number to contact the police.

    But did they have to drag Ronald into all this.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Guest Toonist on Addanac City

    One of my frequent visitors and a member of my blog roll is the creator of a great webtoon called Addanac City (where the heck he got the name Addanac from it don’t know – someone thought it was Canada backwards with an extra “d”).

    Anyway, the main character of the cartoon is Hank.  I see Hank as a cross between Dennis the Menace and Bart Simpson.  He has Barts “eat me” attitude but sometimes the naivete of Dennis who does bad stuff but doesn’t always realize the effect he has on others.

    After my guest cartoon run on Unemployed Dad, George (the mastermind behind Addanac) invited me to work on a guest cartoon for Addanac City in my editorial cartoon style.  Hank has a whacked out hairdo and I always questioned why.   So I came up with my own answer.

    I’ll post it here tomorrow, but for now go visit AddanacCity.com  and see my take.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Employee Job Satisfaction

    Thanks to Chiraq for his post that gave me the idea to create this editorial cartoon.

    With the economy sucking wind, I don’t hear my friends complaining right now about their crappy jobs. Instead everyone is singing the praises of their company (at least to their boss) in hopes of making it through the next round of cuts.
