    5-15-13-Dialogue-Free-Comic Day Cartoon Car Farts by Bearman Cartoons

    Today’s cartoon is in honor of Dialogue Free Comic Day, which actually is this Friday but I am early because I will be out of town.   Thanks to Noel Curry who started it and has kept it going.

    This represents just another day in the Bearman Household.  The only thing different is that my wife doesn’t know how to use the the window lock.  So typically it is me driving, her releasing an SBD (Silent but Deadly for the uninformed) and waiting with a smirk on her face until the gas cloud wafts over to me.  Of course I begin choking.  My payback is in the winter when I roll her window down to release the fumes and lock it so she has to freeze.   Oh the fun we have in our house.

    Ladies do you fart in front of your significant other?  Men does your woman fart in front of you??   We have friends who don’t fart in front of each other and we personally find that weird, so don’t judge..haha.

    Midway point in the charity challenge and love all the new and old people that continue to step up.  Thanks and keep it coming.

  • Charles Ramsey – Hero of Cleveland

    Charles Ramsey – Hero of Cleveland

    Charles Ramsey Caricature Cleveland Hero Bearman Cartoons

    Sometimes a caricature just comes together quick as in the case of Cleveland Hero Charles Ramsey.  He was the neighbor of the guy that kept three women captive in Cleveland for 10 years.   So I figured he deserved his own cartoon tribute along with this classic line he told the reporter interviewing him after the rescue.

    I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms…either she’s homeless or she’s got problems.

    This is what I love about not having a set schedule as I can pull these things off quickly to react to news of the day.  Must have struck a cord because I shared this on Facebook last night and actually got some shares from that damn site.   Seemed to be a hit on G+ too.

  • Bill Cosby as Doctor Who

    Bill Cosby as Doctor Who

    Bill Cosby as Doctor Who

    Bill Cosby was one of the first actors considered to play the part of Doctor Who in a Warner Brothers film based on the famous BBC television series.

    Prior to any trip via car/plane I need reading material.  So for this trip I picked up the 25th anniversary edition of Uncle Johns Bathroom Reader.  One of the stories talked about how during the dead times of the Doctor Who franchise, the BBC sold the film rights to Warner Brothers.   In the late 80’s/early 90’s, Bill Cosby was Americas favorite dad and doctor.  So WB supposedly approached Bill who turned it down.  The film was eventually made in 1996 but not by WB and it starred Paul McGann.

    I tried to find some additional evidence but so far only thing I could find was an obscure reference to an Entertainment Weekly tidbit from an edition prior to them posting anything on the web.   Either way, Doctor Who fans would probably be up in arms.

    Love the book though.  It is like my on the go edition of the Friggin Loon and Madhatters ie information that is interesting but really doesn’t make you any smarter haha.  Check out their website at http://bathroomreader.com or buy the book.

    Don’t forget, the Charity Challenge continues through May.  Thanks for all that have participated so far.

    So here is my continuing efforts at trying new things related to drawing. This is my caricature version of Peter Dinklage, known to Game of Thrones Fans as Tyrion Lannister. You can see the beginnings as a simple pencil sketch, then I added watercolor and ink to the image and finally pulled it all into Photoshop to color it.

    This is probably the longest I have ever worked on one image, only because I am learning some new techniques as I go. Might tweak the color some more but here is where it stands now.

  • Project Blue Collar – Daddy Issues Cartoon

    Project Blue Collar Doggy Daddy Issues

    Today’s cartoon was done for another friend who started Project Blue Collar that raises awareness and encourages people to adopt rescue dogs.  Might have a few more coming soon.

  • Gourmet Popcorn Giveaway

    Gourmet Popcorn Giveaway

    Pattys Popcorn Giveaway Bearman cartoons

    Popcorn Giveaway.  My wife and I are regular visitors to a store in our area.   Patty’s Old Fashioned Popcorn.   Gourmet Popcorn, homemade fudge and Hawaiian Ice all are good reasons to go but even more are the owners, Pat and Randy.

    So who better to put on a popcorn tin than those two characters.   I am giving away 4 popcorn tins with your choice of Cheese, Caramel or a mixture of the two.  Two here and two on Google plus so you can enter both places.  Enter on google plus here

    How to Enter:

    All you need to do is comment on this post with your City and State/Country.  You can also feel free to tell me what makes you sweet, salty or cheesy.

    Want a BONUS Entry?  Of course you do.

    I am continuing to try to raise awareness of Head and Neck Cancer.  The horrible form of cancer that took my friend Brandon.  So go like the foundation page on Facebook created in his memory.   Since FB has wonky rules on doing contests and didn’t want to have to make anyone managing the page provide me updates, all I am asking is that if you do “like” the page to just write “LIKED” in your comment along with your city/town.

    Deadline is EOD Sunday.

    Good Luck

    No Purchase Necessary.  I reserve the right to choose an alternate winner if issues with shipping to a particular country.
  • Grumpy Cat vs Grumpy Cat

    Grumpy Cat vs Grumpy Cat

    Garfield Vs. Grumpy Cat

    I’d be surprised if this cartoon hasn’t been done by someone but I purposefully didn’t look so it wouldn’t impact my vision.  For the unaware, the “grumpy cat” on the left is the original grumpy one – Garfield the Cat.   The unsuspecting feline is the internet meme sensation Grumpy Cat.

    I would think I might have issues with someone else taking my gig too.  Now I need to figure out what that gig is.

  • Takei – Definition

    Takei-Definition-2-Bearman Cartoons

    Seems actor George Takei isn’t just famous for his stellar acting on Star Trek.   He has parlayed his celebrity into appearances on the Howard Stern show and is something of a Social Media icon – especially on Facebook.   And several times from an unmentioned cartoonist friend of ours.   As you all know I am a big proponent of those who share other’s work to provide credit where you found it.   It isn’t too hard even if you found the picture/cartoon on google because many artists, including yours truly, puts their URL on the image.

    George, or whomever is posting for him, doesn’t seem to always have the time for that so he just takes it and posts it as is.  Interesting that someone who is in the intellectual property business seems to miss that courtesy.

    Any other celebrities that I should spoof their social media habits into a future definition?

    NOTE:  For those who were here yesterday I didn’t like my caricature of George Takei so I updated it.

  • The Stooge Remake

    Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit in the Stooge Remake by Bearman Cartoons

    Rumors are afoot that Disney/Pixar are looking at remaking The Stooge, a movie made starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in 1952.

    the-stooge-movie-poster-1952-from Movie Poster Shop I am not a big watcher of old movies but there was a time in my life when I couldn’t get enough Jerry Lewis (I guess I have some French in me). So imagine my joy when I learned that one of my favorite animated characters, Roger Rabbit, was potentially going to play the Lewis role in a Disney/Pixar remake.

    So imagine my delight in reading this blog post by Gary K. Wolf that the movie was in the works.  Gary Wolf wrote the book on Roger Rabbit.  No literally he did.   Back in 1981 he wrote “Who Censored Roger Rabbit” which came to the big screen as “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”

    To this day it stands the test of time as the best movie ever to combine live action and animation.  Surprisingly with technology as advanced as it has over the last 2 decades, I am surprised no one has tackled the genre much since.

    So I had to draw a preview of what I hope actually gets made.  Roger needs some new younger fans before Disney puts him out to pasture.
