Editorial Cartoon: Bully Paybacks

The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week THREE! 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 Saturday.

Special shout out to Red at Momma’s Money Matters who has worked her butt off to get me votes from her friends/followers.

Today’s editorial cartoon is inspired by everyone’s favorite bus monitor, Karen Klein. Oh you haven’t seen the video of her getting bullied relentlessly by little shits? Here it is but be warned the language is harsh and your blood pressure may rise.

And the web reacted. Someone started a campaign on Indiegogo to raise $10,000 for Karen to be able to go on a vacation. As of today’s posting there is currently $664,398 donated. And Southwest Airlines offered to send her and 9 guests to Disneyland for a 3 day vacation. So of course the haters have to come out. Questions about whether as a bus monitor she was effective at her job. And more importantly, I predict you will now see this victim mentality that I ought to get compensated grossly for any wrong done to me. Hey Karen got hers, why can’t I get mine.

I also predict there will be some people that start staging sympathy videos in hopes of getting money. But I am a pessimist when it comes to people doing the right thing.

Editorial Cartoon: Celebrity Moms

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?

Guess Who?

One of my achilles heels is drawing caricatures of actual people. I can whip out an entire cartoon in an hour from start to finish as long as I don’t have identifiable people. Those can take me an hour each just to sketch them out.

Starting to work on a large undertaking and this guy is in it. Let’s see if I came even close. Can you guess who this is????

Bearman Cartoon: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach New Celebrity Spiritualist

The Beatles started it all when turning to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for spiritual advice. Then came the Dalai Lama. Next was Scientology and Kabbalah. Now it seems when celebrities find themselves in a moral dilemma (or a rather a publicity crisis) the man to turn to is Kosher Sex author, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

Obviously Michael Jackson and now Jon Gosselin are his higher profile devotees but what other celebs have/will turn to the Rabbi to right their moral compass.

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.
