  • Comic Con now Hollywood Con? – Cartoon

    Bearman Cartoon How Hollywood took over Comic-Con

    Something painfully obvious I know but this article in the LA Times (hat tip to Alan of the Daily Cartoonist) laments the takeover each year of Comic-Con by Hollywood elite hoping to get a strong internet buzz for their latest endeavors.

    For those who go, do you feel the loss of the way it used to be or is it better for smaller exhibitors because what you lose in focus you make up because if the sheer number of people. 

    I have never been to a comic convention and even with the proliferation of webcartoonists that exhibit at them these days, I will probably not ever be one of them.  Face it, political cartoon compilations are not what fanboys are clamoring for.  Maybe if there’s ever a newsie-con, I’ll be setting up shop between Rachel Maddow and Glenn Beck who are there trying to hock their own books.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Wonder Woman’s New Costume

    Wonder Woman Naked

     The internet has been abuzz this past week with DC comics decision to revamp the Wonder Woman struggling franchise by giving her a makeover.  Personally I think the top they chose looks too much like Spiderman.

    But it got me thinking what would a comic book geek really want a redone Wonder Woman to wear.  Well that and my naked Marge Simpson did so well that I thought my stats were due for another titillating post.

    Thanks to Mack at Area 51 Comics for the idea as part of Twitter #TuesdaySketch.  The idea behind TuesdaySketch is that the moderator chooses a topic on Monday night and anyone that has a chance showcases their sketch.  Of course this week was on Wonder Woman’s new wardrobe.  Check out all the submissions for this week.
