Editorial Cartoon: Riots

I had a hard time with today’s editorial cartoon.  I knew in my head what I wanted it to say and went through many different iterations using cartoon characters and not.  You’ll have the be the judge whether my sentiment came through and let me know whether or not you agree.  Love to hear all sides on this as always.

Bearman heads to Addanac City

In case you all don’t have George Ford on speed dial, he has decided to bring the Bearman persona over to Addanac City for his latest story arc.  Someone has to class the place up (even a guy named Leslie).  So if you haven’t already, head over and give George some love.

For the above cartoon in full go here
For the before where BEARMAN enters the picture go here
And for the beginning of the current story arc, go here.

What is that BEARMANiacs?  You aren’t familiar with George Ford.  Well he is the original BEARMANiac.  In fact, last year when I asked people to show me their BEARMANiac best…this is what I got.  I hope to god he was wearing pants.

Free Caricature

That’s right, it is back. You can win a digital caricature of you, a friend, your dog or your favorite celebrity.   This is an exclusive contest for those following Beartoons on Facebook.  Don’t worry for those of you who don’t have Facebook, I will be doing other contests soon.

Here are the guidelines:

• Go to the Beartoons Facebook Page and hit the Like Button
• Add a comment there that you want to be included in the contest
• Share the contest with your Facebook friends for an additional entry.  Let me know in the FB comments
• Enter by Midnight Tuesday July 5.
• Winner will get a free digital version of their caricature.  Use it as a gravatar, on facebook or however you would like.

Entrants must allow me to use one of their source pictures in a blog post to show the results and as always my disclaimer is there is no guarantees that you will think the finished product looks anything like you.  But that is a better guarantee (and price) than those crappy street caricature artists give.

Good luck

Hands Down the Pants

I am not really sure what it is but I have noticed over the last several years that when sitting on the couch watching TV, I have been prone to putting a hand down the front of my pants.  Not all the way mind you (or touching the package) but just enough that the palm is on the lower stomach and the fingers are in the waist band.  I find it a very comfortable position.  And this is completely separate than stratching.  No scratching involved.  My wife rags on me for it and thinks it is hilarious. 

So is this some right of passage that all men go through as they age?  Will I have the tendency to some day have an entire arm down my pants?  Fess up gentlemen.  Do you too find comfort in this position?  Ladies…thoughts?  I would ask if I am “nuts” but that might not be appropriate.
