    Local residents in the small town of Bedrock are in an uproar over the shooting of Bamm Bamm Rubble. Bamm Bamm, the adopted son of Barney and Betty Rubble, was shot by Sgt. Boulder of Bedrock while peacefully walking towards the policeman and holding nothing more menacing than a turkey leg.

    “It was cold blooded murder” cried Betty Rubble who lost her only son. “All Bamm Bamm was doing was was trying to offer Sgt. Boulder a bite from his turkey leg!”.

    “I don’t quite understand this.” explained his father, Barney. “It’s not like he had a bag of candy or soda in his hand. For crying out loud, it was just a turkey leg!”

    Local authorities have given the following statement regarding the shooting.

    “This morning at 7:31 AM, Bedrock Standard Time, Sgt. Boulder was being approached by Bamm Bamm Rubble with what appeared to be a significant sized weapon. Sgt. Boulder attempted to warn Mr. Rubble to freeze but to no avail. Mr. Rubble continued in a threatening manner towards Sgt. Boulder while yelling the words “Bam Bam” in defiance of the officer’s direct order to freeze. As Mr. Rubble continued forward, Sgt. Boulder, who has been on our force with stellar credentials for 24 years, drew his weapon and, once again, ordered Mr. Rubble to freeze. Mr. Rubble defiantly disregarded this order and continued to advance toward Sgt. Boulder which left him with no choice. Sgt. Boulder has been questioned and released and is found to have complied completely within our code of ethics. There are no plans for further investigation at this point”

    “Prehistoric profiling. This is nothing less than prehistoric profiling and neither I, nor Wilma will stand for this”, said Fred Flinstone, the Rubbles’ neighbor.


  • Helicopter Parents on Easter

    Editorial Cartoon: Helicopter Parents and Easter Egg Hunts

    Today’s editorial cartoon is for all the parents of precious children who have ruined Easter Egg Hunts for the rest of the world.  From Georgia to Colorado, Easter Egg Hunts, a tradition for Christian children on Easter, have been cancelled due to helicopter parents.

    Seems some parents feel the need to make sure their kids win at any cost including jumping into the fray, knocking down other kids, just to make sure their precious child get an egg.  Sure there were probably some over aggressive kids that should have been reigned in by their parents but that shouldn’t result in chaos on what should be a kids event.

    Want to make sure your kid walks away with an egg or two.  If they start coming back empty handed, drop a few eggs you brought near your feet and exclaim “oh look you missed one”  Or better yet, teach your kid how to deal with and overcome disappointment.

    When I started this site 5-6 years ago, I expected it to be a hit within a year, have a book deal within 18 months and have Hollywood calling to option my work within three years.  Guess what, none of that happened.  And if my parents hadn’t taught me how to deal with disappointment, I would be curled up in a fetal position in the corner instead of posting this gem.

     

  • Editorial Cartoon: Celebrity Moms

    Editorial Cartoon: Celebrity Moms Alicia Silverstone and January Jones

    Dr Benjamin Spock never thought of this motherly advice when he was writing his parenting books in the 40’s.  But celebrity moms are always on the cusp of what is cool and hip when it comes to child raising.  First it was the trend to name your kid Apple, Apricot or anything else no one else ever has just to be original.   Now in the past week there is news of both January Jones and Alicia Silverstone showcasing their own tips.

    January Jones revealed that she has her placenta dehydrated and crushed into pills that she took which she said helped her recover faster from childbirth.  According to an Inforum article that discussed her decision it stated:

    In some cultures, it is commonplace to consume the afterbirth. While placenta encapsulation is not FDA-approved in the U.S., the practice has become more popular as midwifery and home births continue to rise in this country.

    Research has shown that the afterbirth is indeed a nutrient-packed pouch, and it has been touted as a way to prevent post-partum depression and promote a fast recovery after pregnancy. There is no hard evidence that humans benefit from consuming it, though.

    Also this past week, Alicia Silverstone revealed on her website that she has been feeding son Bear Blu bird style by chewing up food and then feeding him directly in the mouth.  This video has gone viral.

    So fess up female BEARMANiacs, something you would do yourself or are you kinda ooked by either?

     

  • Social Media and Cats

    Editorial Cartoon: Social Media and Cats

    And the Caption Contest Winner is – ME!! And all of you who agreed with me that cats getting attention on social media is the bane of existence for someone posting something they actually spent time on.

    And the inspiration was this picture of our cats, playing on the ipad with their favorite app Games for Cats.

     

  • I Hate Social Media Cartoon (Caption Contest)

    I Hate Social Media Cartoon

    Cartoon Caption Contest time.  You need to help me complete the words that best go into the third panel.  While I posed this as a cartoonist I think we can all relate to posting things online only for them to get ignored while other crap gets a bunch of attention.   Here are some options I came up with:

    • Oh look (fill in name of any Celebrity on the same social media site) found my cartoon and uploaded it to his stream.
    • I am just going to post how much I hate social media
    • Wow look at that cartoon.  Looks like he spent about 5 seconds on it.
    • Before I go, I’ll post this picture of my cat licking himself.

    All of my choices have actually happened to me.  Like one of these or got something better.  Post it in the comments.  I’ll put the finished one up either Wed or next Sunday.

  • Bald Men and Cleavage

    Bald Men and Cleavage Cartoon

    Today’s cartoon is not, I repeat NOT based on my life.  I have a full head of green hair.  Rather it was told to me by a friend who luckily has the kind of head that can pull off baldness.

    I was out with the friend who told me this last night and was telling him I was going to post it.  My wife said “Well Bearman doesn’t check out women’s boobs.”   I replied “Well I guess I am sly enough that YOU don’t notice”

  • Tori Spelling Caricature

    The Friggin Loon and BSchooled both are tired of my WWE Wrestling Caricatures so they put in a request for a Tori Spelling one.  Here you go ladies.

    I won’t be around much for the next week after today so I’ll miss commenting elsewhere and probably here too.  Try to behave without me.

  • John Cena Sign Fruity Pebbles

    Let’s see if WWE Wrestling fans start trying to redraw my John Cena caricature on signs all over WWE live events as they have my Sheamus sign.  All I ask is that you make sure my URL is front and center.

    For you non wrestling fans, John Cena is in a feud as of late with former WWE wrestler and now movie star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.  The Rock made fun of the fact that each year Cena has a different brightly colored shirt that he hocks to his fans.  Thus started an entire Fruity Pebbles chant. Lo and behold, Post cereal took full advantage of the publicity and quickly signed the popular Cena to an endorsement deal, even putting his face on a box of Fruity Pebbles.

     

    Oh and don’t forget to check out my guest cartoon I did at Short Attention Span comic.

  • Internet Troll Cartoon

    Internet Troll by Bearman Cartoons

    Ah the lovely internet troll. Anyone that blogs or posts regularly somewhere online has run across this person at least once. Some of you probably ARE the troll. I don’t judge. haha. So give us your best troll story.

    This is kind of a search engine experiment. Last year I posted a sign of the wrestler Sheamus. Today if you do a google image search of “Sheamus Sign“, guess whose image pops up first?  So while there are cartoons of internet trolls, it would be interesting to see if I could get this one to page one.  There are a couple other phrases that people use to find my site so I may do cartoons of those in the future.  Any you would like to see?
