Spilled Ink – At 100

Robert Matejcek is the mastermind behind Spilled Ink. Robert, a semi-reclusive web cartoonist who doesn’t like to leave his apartment. He has an adoring cat named Dharma (I think he needs another one named Greg) and a patient wife named Annabelle.

Spilled Ink is a semi biographical look and Robert, Annabelle, and Dharma’s life. Man would it be fun being a nosy neighbor of theirs. Check out the whole family at Spilled Ink but first check out this great cartoon of Robert and Annabelle at 100.

You can follow Robert on Twitter as well.

Come back in 2 days for another new guest cartoon from Unbearable Bears!! You can also keep up with me via Twitter. (just not now, I am busy I told you)

Addanac City – Hank at 100

George Ford of Addanac City was one of the first Webcomic artists to find me on the internet and actually comment on my stuff. Addanac City is all about Hank Addanac and the loons that surround him. George describes Hank as “one kid who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Nearly every day, you can find Hank in hot water with his family, friends, and school officials. Hank has no respect for authority whatsoever. He’s that kid you love to hate and hate to love.”

Some tend to compare Hank to Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes but I tend to think he is more like Dennis the Menace because he is oblivious to the mayhem he causes. However Hank is Dennis with some actual Cojones. You can follow George via Twitter as well.

Thanks for the funny George!

Off Season – At 100

Next up in the Guest Cartoon line-up is Warren Frantz of Off Season. Warren is a relative new comer to creating webcomics but not that new. He just moved his comic to the big time of Drunk Duck so there is only one toon up there as of writing this. So check out his archives here. If you like you can also follow him on Twitter.

Off Season follows the goings-on of mild-mannered professional hockey goalie Gully Golz and his best friend, fiery sportscaster Sammy Melon. It answers the question: What do athletes do in the off season? First up is a picture of Gully now.

And at 100…

I love how he still wears his gloves and puts them down his underpants. Thanks Warren!!

Bearman Cartoon: Celebrity Death Panel 6

If you missed the beginning of our story…go here first.

And the final episode of Celebrity Death Panel…

Originally I had in mind that Graham Reaper would be Sarah Palin trying to make money off “Death Panels” like Al Gore does off of Carbon Credits. But then I figured you all needed something to do for two weeks while I am gone. Just like the books when you were a kid where you chose the ending, I am asking the frequent commenters and lurkers of beartoons.com to comment on who they think the character should be and what he or she is saying.

So I am calling out those who I see coming here from other sites and especially those who don’t comment. Jeff Jena and his conservative friends at Big Hollywood. Rhino and his Libertarian friends at the DailyPaul. Jammer get the Prairie Progressives to chime in. Even the 2012 conspiracy news guys need to put down their Playboy Magazines and chime in.

It can either be someone you don’t like or someone you do…

Here is the only thing I ask. If you want to comment beyond offering up the suggestion of the identity of Graham Reaper and what he/she should be saying…BE CIVIL. This site is about the funny. I am leaving comments open while I am gone so let’s all get along.

Once I get back, I’ll pick the most popular or the one that I find funniest and draw it as the actual final panel of this series.

Note 1 – I haven’t left you completely without something new to look at while I am gone the next couple weeks. Thursday as I have a series of great toonists lined up to share with us either what they think they will look like or their cartoon character will look like at age 100. I’ll have a new one every two days.

Note 2 – Check out the story arc of the possible demise of the Frustrated Cartoonist as Nate Fakes hits the big time.

Note 3 – Congratulations to George Ford on his one year Anniversary of the online comic Addanac City. After doing six toons in a row, I have new respect for all of you who hold down a full time job and still can crank out 3-7 new cartoons every week.

I’ll be around to comment on Wednesday and Thursday morning but after that, you have to talk amongst yourselves.

Bearman Cartoons: Celebrity Death Panel 4

Did you come here in the middle of the story. Go here to see the worlds first editorial cartoon story arc from the beginning.

Some background for my readers who don’t know who Janeane Garofalo is since she hasn’t really been high on the radar except for some political comments and stints on Air America, the West Wing and now 24.

In the mid to late 90’s Janeane was in a series of hit movies including Reality Bites, The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Mystery Men. She was also nominated twice for an Emmy on the Larry Sanders Show which aired on HBO. Then the Iraq war started and her political activism seemed to overtake her acting ambitions. I don’t know if that made producers not think she could still be funny because I personally haven’t seen her in a high profile comedy role since.

In 2004, she was one of several celebritys killed off in Southpark Creator’s Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s film Team America: World Police.

And if you are tired of me just bashing liberal celebs…tune in tomorrow.

Bearman Cartoon: Freedom of Speech

This editorial cartoon was born of frustration. There are several sources that say the majority of American editorial cartoonists lean to the left while there are fewer that lean to the right. Then there are those like me who are moderate. I am conservative on some things and liberal on others, but I am willing to be convinced that my facts or data is wrong.

I am jealous of the liberal or conservative cartoonists because they can stay on one side of the fence and throw lobs across it. I on the other hand get to weave back and forth which is a blessing because it doesn’t limit me but it can also be tiring. I have been called too liberal and too conservative in the same week because of different cartoons.

I am tired of the generalized statements like Republicans are all this or Democrats are all that. It diminishes the argument or point you are trying to make and becomes a pissing match or just name calling versus open and honest debate. Whether it is Tea Party Members disrupting the speeches of Democratic Senators or College Professors organizing disruptions of Conservative Speakers, they both demand to be heard but won’t allow the speaker the same benefit .

There is a saying that is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Voltaire that says “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. Too much it is more like “I defend Freedom of MY Speech, F— the rest of you”

Bearman Cartoon: Part Timers

The latest editorial cartoon was inspired by the budget issues in my home city of Cincinnati, Ohio. It seems like many cities, the economy is affecting city services. So now there is talk of having to lay off over 100 police officers.

Funny we have a part time city council and yet they continue to take over $60,000 a year in salary. I am sure there would be plenty of people willing to work full time for that kind of pay.
