    Editorial Cartoon: William Shatner Pants TSA

    The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week NINE!!  So I am almost done asking for votes.  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD Tuesday.

    A little humor for the week prompted today’s editorial cartoon.  It seems actor William Shatner (Star Trek, TJ Hooker, Priceline Negotiator) has a little embarrassing moment with TSA agents at LAX.   He was going on an international flight out of LAX and as he relates it, he didn’t want to be wearing anything binding…so he went to the airport in loose clothing and NO UNDERWEAR.  Shatner, who had a hip replacement always sets the metal detector off and has to have extra security pat downs.  Well it seems an inexperienced TSA agent got the “short stick” and was a little aggressive in his work causing Shatner’s proton torpedo to be visible to everyone in airport security.

    See the video of Shatner relaying the experience to Craig Ferguson.

  • Editorial Cartoon: Colorado Memorial

    Editorial Cartoon Dark Knight Shootings

    Today’s editorial cartoon memorializes all those who senselessly were the victims of a crazed shooter in Colorado during a midnight screening of the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises”.  Don’t know if this is too harsh an image for some but I didn’t want to sugar coat the tragedy either.  My heart goes out to all the victims’ families this week.  No more to say.

  • Editorial Cartoon: Mitt Romney Paternity Test on the Maury Show

    Editorial Cartoon Mitt Romney Paternity Test on the Maury Show

    The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week FIVE!  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Some people were clicking the link and then accidentally voting on the first thing that popped up.  Unfortunately no way to direct link to my cartoon.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD Sunday.

    ____________________________________________________________________

    Today’s editorial cartoon is inspired once again by Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.  Don’t know if the Maury Povich show is shown outside the United States but he has a daytime show in the U.S. that can’t be missed when you are home sick from work.  What Jerry Springer is to fighting and getting naked on his show, Maury Povich is the king of Paternity tests.  Deadbeat dad after deadbeat dad come onto the show swearing they never even slept with the mother of a baby in question.  Maury’s typical phrase is something like, “When it comes to baby Jessica….George Ford, you ARE THE FATHER!”, causing the “new” dad to be in shock and the baby’s mom to stand up pointing in his face telling him “I told you so, I told you so”

    It came to me this week that Mitt Romney is a dad trying not to claim his responsibility for Obamacare.  When then Governor Romney was in office in Massachusetts he passed almost the exact same program that Obamacare is based on.  And yet throughout the Republican debates, he only would say what works in Massachusetts wouldn’t work for the rest of the country.  Now he is promising to get rid of Obamacare if elected.    Instead, I would prefer him say, “Sure I passed this.  Here is what was right about it, and here is what is wrong.   And THIS is what I will  change to make it better for everyone.”   If anyone has heard him say it, please link me to the article.  Would love to eat my words on this one.

  • Editorial Cartoon: Republicans and Democrats in my Pants

    Editorial Cartoon: Republicans and Democrats in My pants

    The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week TWO!  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Some people were clicking the link and then accidentally voting on the first thing that popped up.  Unfortunately no way to direct link to my cartoon.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD Tuesday.

    This editorial cartoon is timely as we heat up all the rhetoric that is going to happen during the campaign.  Those of you who know me know I am a moderate who one day will poke fun at the left and another at the right.  Today you get a two for one.  Whether Democrat or Republican they both are interested in what I have in my pants and what I am doing with it.  Democrats are always after our money and Republicans are always interested in what we are doing with our bodies (gay marriage, abortion, sex in general).  Ok to be honest I too am completely against abortion BUT that doesn’t mean I am prepared to completely ban it either.  Good thing I don’t run for office because they would say I was wishy washy.

    And sorry I haven’t been around to other sites this past week.  On vacation so am limited to how much I can surf.

    Thanks again for all the votes last week.

     

     

  • The Cartoonist Studio

    No I am not taking a day off today.  I decided to try my hand at an actual cartooning contest.  The Cartoonist Studio is having a political cartoon contest with cartoonists submitting their work and weekly someone is kicked off the island.  While they will have their own judges, you can still vote and influence the results.

    I’ll be posting there 2x a week on Mondays and Thursdays so as long as I remain in the running my posting schedule will be Mondays and Thursday instead of Sunday/Wednesday.  I bet you didn’t even know I had a regular posting schedule did you?

  • Pop Smoothie and Zombie Marge Launch

    Two Cincinnati Illustrators launched their own webcomics in the last couple months.

    Pop Smoothie

    Christina Wald who not only is a kick ass illustrator but works tirelessly keeping charge of the Cincinnati Illustrators Blog/Lunches has launched Pop Smoothie.

     

    Each week she will highlight a new comic with inspiration from Pop Culture garnered from her indulgence in too much television.

    Zombie Marge

    Tim Fuller, another kick ass local illustrator/humor writer has come out with Zombie Marge.  Very loosely and probably not at all relating to Marge Schott (though there is a slight undead resemblance).  For the uninformed, Marge was the former owner of the Cincinnati Reds who made Ozzy Gullien’s mouth seem like a choir boy in comparison.

    Zombie Marge and her sidekick worm Grubworth will take inside what it is like living decaying in Tanglefoot Cemetery.

    Finally a special shout out and thanks to Debbie Adams for awarding me with a special Commenter Award.

  • Matzah Balls Tshirt

    I got your Matzah Balls right here

    Long time readers might recognize the design for “I Got Your Matzah Balls Right Here” because I posted it last year and asked if I should put it on a tshirt.  Well guess what.  I forgot to do it until now.  Available on WackSack.com (I really need to rebrand all that to beartoons but obviously I am lazy).

    So run out and get this Passover friendly shirt to show the world you are not happy to forego unleavened bread during the seder.  Oh and if you aren’t Jewish…well show some attitude anyway.

    Also for those who prefer posts via email you will be happy to know I now have an email subscription thingy on the right thanks to Tony.  Also if you want updates on when I reply to your comments that button is now available too.

  • Editorial Cartoon: Riots

    Editorial Cartoon on Riots by Bearman

    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

    Addanac City by George FordIn 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.
