  • Game of Thrones Poster – The Fox and the Hound

    Game of Thrones Poster – The Fox and the Hound

    Fox-and-the-Hound-Game-of-Thrones-Bearman-cartoons

    This Game of Thrones Poster that parodies the HBO series. came about last week based on a five minute quick caricature of The Hound from the series.

    Game-of-Thrones-Hound

    I liked it so much that I thought I should color it.  So 5 minutes turned into a five hour project to give you “The Fox and The Hound”  Imagine if Disney bought HBO.  This is what you might see in the promotional poster.

    Obviously the Fox is Daenerys Targaryen portrayed by Emilia Clarke and the Hound is Sandor Clegane who is better known as the Hound (duh!).  He is masterfully played by Rory McCann.  I have mentioned before that typically I am not into fantasy realm movies/shows like the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings but this one has me hooked.  Now if they could get other good shows to make it worth paying the rest of the year like Showtime.

  • Whatever Happened to Pinocchio

    Whatever Happened to Pinocchio

    Bearman Cartoons Whatever Happened to PinocchioWhatever happened to Pinocchio after the Fairy Tale Ended?  Well I have been thinking about a bunch of Fairy Tale characters when watching “Once Upon a Time” and am thinking I will periodically draw a cartoon of different characters and my take on what they are up to now.   Pinocchio losing his wood made him a ripe candidate to get Viagra from the pharmacist but I think he is right to question the side-effects.

    Charity Challenge Update

    We are in the final week so  let me know if I missed anyone.

    Including Bearman in a Cartoon ($10):

    For a week four total of $10.  HOWEVER as I said before:

    I have made a decision that if we hit the limit of $1500 that I will still pay cartoonists for adding Bearman to their webcomic through the end of the month as well as match to the $500 limit.  So I am adding the three toons from this week and I am going to keep matching even though I hit the 500 limit.   So with the 1500 hit plus the $30 in webcomics from this week and the total of $620 in matching donations

    I have committed to donating $2130 so far.

     

     

  • Mick Jagger Can’t Get No Satisfaction

    Mick Jagger Can’t Get No Satisfaction

    5-12-14-Bearman-Cartoons-Mick-Jagger-Satisfaction-Caricature

    Mick Jagger can’t get no satisfaction but he sure can sing it even now in his 70’s.  Way back in 1975 during an interview with People magazine (when he was only about 31) Mick proclaimed “I’d rather be dead than sing Satisfaction at 45.”   So of course I had to draw a caricature of Mick Jagger in a meme along with that familiar quote.

    In my teens I can picture thinking about people 15-20 years older and thinking to myself “I will no longer do that when I am THAT old”.  Now you look at whatever your age is and think damn I am still young enough to pull it off.  Mick still struts it like a peacock without needing a cane yet so keep at it as long as you can Mick.

  • Believe in Yourself Motivational Poster

    Believe in Yourself Motivational Poster

    Bearman Cartoons Motivational Poster Believe in YourselfBelieve in Yourself is something we all tend to forget.  So today’s motivational poster cartoon reminds you that “Don’t ever let someone tell you that you’re not good enough.  Never forget that you were the fastest sperm.”  I am saddened by those I see on social media constantly putting themselves down for what they deem their negative qualities.  Focus on what you do right and hopefully look at this and laugh.

  • Pumpernickel Meaning

    Pumpernickel Meaning

    Pumpernickel Meaning in German by Bearman CartoonsLesson time once again.  If you check out the listing for Pumpernickel in the dictionary the first definition is:

    a dark coarse sourdough bread made of unbolted rye flour

    However when you look at the etymology of the word and it’s origins, it is actually based on two german words.  “Pumpern” means to break wind and “nickel” means goblin or devil.  So together they mean “Devil’s Fart.”  Think about that next time you buy a loaf.

    If interested check out this Snopes article which discusses another widely accepted but not as accurate origin of the word involving Napolean and his horse.

     

     

  • T-Rex Arms Cartoon

    T-Rex Arms Cartoon

    Bearman-Cartoons-T-Rex-Arms-Dinosaur-Cartoon1000widthjpgSo yesterday’s post on Alligator Arms got some discussion from several people on social media that they had not used the term but instead use T-Rex Arms or Dinosaur Arms to describe someone who is cheap and can’t seem to reach their wallet when it is their turn to buy a round or pick up the check in a restaurant.

    So I always aim to please.  When was the last time I posted twice in a week, let alone back to back days.  You are welcome. haha.

  • Alligator Arms Defined Cartoon

    Alligator Arms Defined Cartoon

    Alligator Arms Cartoon by Bearman CartoonsThe phrase “Alligator Arms” (or Dinosaur Arms) is one my friends and I have used for years to describe our other cheap friends.   Seems Urban Dictionary has the same idea.  Everyone know this person.  Either they fail to ever pick up the check when you go out or when it is their turn to buy a round of drinks, suddenly they are in the bathroom (or have already went home).   Worse was a coworker I once had who would look at the check and figure out exactly how much he owed to the penny and put in exactly 15% for the tip.   What he always failed to do was consider that his meal was taxed and the rest of us would always have to pick up his shortcomings.  I learned to ask for separate checks after a while.

    So any of you know some Alligator Arms?  Are you one?  Might do more of these cartoons so any suggestions (try to keep them clean) on other phrases you know or came across on Urban Dictionary?

     

  • Why Cats are Assholes

    Why Cats are Assholes

    Why Cats are Assholes by Bearman CartoonsNot much needs to be added to this cartoon.  Whether you love cats or hate them….they are ASSHOLES.   Why is it that cats can sleep 9 hours of their day on hardwood floors and yet when they have to vomit up a hairball they nonchalantly move over to the carpet, the couch or the bed?

     

  • Internal Thermostat Cartoon

    Internal Thermostat Cartoon

    Bearman Cartoons Hot and Cold in Bed Internal ThermostatMy wife said no one but me would get today’s cartoon because I must be the only one that can go to bed and be chilled and in the middle of the night tear the covers off me because I am burning up.  I said she was the odd one who went to sleep and woke up cold even though she insists we keep our house on 73 degrees in the winter.

    How can I even be chilled when going to bed?   Well, my mother said my wife has wussified me because when I was living with my parents the thermostat barely went over 67.

    Anyone else get the night sweats?
