    Dixie is a BEARMANiac

    Dixie the loveable Poodle of Tony somehow managed to sign up for her own email account.  This is the message I recieved yesterday via email.

    Hulo Mista Bearman. I am sending yoo a foto ov me & my Teddy Bearmaniac to poot on yor blog so it kosts yoo mor munny. Woof Woow!!!
    – Luv from Dixie the kyootest Poodle in the hole werld hoo livs in Tazmayneeya wiv Mummy & Daddy

    I don’t speak dog very well so it took me a little bit to figure out what she was saying.  Thanks Dixie and try not to be so hard on the Bear.

  • Laura and Jammers are Bearmaniacs

    So waiting in my mailbox yesterday were TWO; Count ’em TWO people sending their BEARMANia love to me.  Well Jammers actually is about half but I’ll count it!!

    First up was Laura AKA Midwest Mom AKA one half of the great women behind Hmm Sweet Splendid Wisdom.  She, like Dave, is not only a BEARMANiac but she and her daughter are obviously also BEAR maniacs.  Thanks Laura.

    Then there was this puzzling image from Jammer:

    “Jammer’s shoe is a Bearmaniac”  Jammer I know you are shy but if your shoe is the BEARMANiac, then why is your foot and leg involved?  And why only one shoe?  And are you planning to go fishing or do you just keep your crap laying around the floor?   I am thinking you could have at least bought some BEARMAN Barbecue sauce and poured it over your feet.

    Thanks to all for their continued support.  I am going broke.

  • Dave is a BEAR uh Maniac

    Dave Hambridge of Hambo Central and his beautiful bride Hazel were married in 1996.  Obviously before Dave was a BEARMANiac, he and Hazel were BEAR maniacs.  His best man and her “chief bridesmaid” were their childhood teddy bears.   Check them out in their hands in the pic.

    Thanks for your support Dave and remember you are only one year from your 15th year anniversary.  I think Hazel needs some new diamonds.

  • Bearman Charity Challenge 2010

     

    It’s back!!  Last year, thanks to your efforts you cost me $336 to charity.  Once again I am issuing a challenge and this year I am going for $1000.

    This year the first $500 raised will once again go to the Cincinnati FreeStore Foodbank.  This charity does great things not only to feed those in need but also to help families get back on their feet in other ways.  The need is great this time of year because people tend to donate more during the holidays.

    Anything donated above $500 to the max $1000 will go to support the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati in their fundraising efforts.

    I am issuing this challenge to help raise money.  I will donate the indicated amount for each thing that you do in the month of May:

    • $10 – For the first 20 cartoonists who send in a guest cartoon (see below for what I am looking for).
    • $5 – Add http://beartoons.com to your blog roll  (for those who don’t already have it)
    • $5 – Add a Bearman Cartoons Banner Ad (found here) on your site or if you already have one upgrade to a larger size.
    • $5 $10 – Blog about my challenge to your readers and link back to this entry in your post – http://beartoons.com/2010/05/03/bearman-charity-challenge-2010
    • $5 – Send a picture of yourself wearing a t-shirt from our shopOR send a picture that showcases that you are a BEARMANiac.  Photos will be showcased in weekly updates and also appear ongoing in the BEARMANia section.
    • $2 – Follow me via TWITTER updates. (if you aren’t already)
    • $2 – Become a fan/like Beartoons on Facebook.

    If you add me to your blog roll, add/upgrade your banner, include this challenge in a post, or start following me via twitter/facebook because of this post please indicate in the comments.  

     I’ll post a weekly update of the money raised and who did what to raise the money with links back to your site if applicable.

    Call for Cartoonists to provide Guest Cartoons

    Taking some time off in June so looking for guest cartoons to fill the void.  Obviously I don’t have recurring characters but last years call to highlight your characters in new ways was well received.  So here is the challenge.  Replace the actor(s) in your favorite movie/television show with one or more of your characters.  Submissions can take the form of fake posters, single panel or strip.  Keep submissions within 600 pixels wide.  Here is just one example from the Family Guy (obviously doesn’t need to be that in depth).   If you need inspiration, check out my recent post on recreating 35 famous movie posters.

    Thanks for your continued support.
