  • When Blueheads meet Eggheads Cartoon

    When Blueheads meet Eggheads Cartoon

    When Google Plus Blue Heads meet up with Twitter EggheadsOn twitter when you don’t have a profile picture attached to your account the default image is an egg thus those without a picture are known as “eggheads”  On Google Plus those without a profile pic are called “Blueheads” since that is the image of what shows up.  So today’s cartoon is based on what I would imagine they talk about when they get together.  Lament the fact that no one is following them back.

    Based on my crack research, I have determined that people are 87% less likely to follow you back on either social media outlet if you don’t have a profile picture whether it be a real picture or a cartoon one.  OK I have no idea where the 87% comes from except that I am 87% less likely to circle someone back without a profile picture.

    It takes a short amount of time and it becomes a way of identifying you easily as I stream through my feeds.

    Sorry to anyone I typically visit their blog.  Been busy several weeks and hard to jump from blog to blog on tablet to comment but I have been lurking and if you post your links on G+ (for those who use it) I am more likely to see and easily respond there.  Hell it took me 5 days to respond to comments on my own site.

     

  • Social Media Pariah

    Social Media Pariah Cartoon by Bearman Cartoons

    I have said before that as an artist, it can be frustrating to spend several hours on a piece of work that gets ignored or little attention on social media but I can toss up a picture of my cat and it get tons of attention.   So today’s cartoon is another homage to that.

    I asked my google plus followers “what trending topic that consistently pops up do you just not get?”  Of course I got many but the ones that popped up most were “Cats, Justin Bieber, and Dr. Who.”   I get cats and honestly that is the only social media aspect that my wife is remotely interested in and I am guilty of giving into her demands to post our cats on occasion   Luckily for me the people I follow are not Justin Bieber obsessed however I constantly see his name as a trending topic.   Dr. Who is the one I don’t get the fan love about.  I watched it as a kid when we didn’t have cable and it was the only thing on the 5 channels we got.  I even tried it again as an adult.  Just can’t get into it.

    What about you?  Any trending topics you find consistently on social media that you don’t get?   Oh and first person to name the character on the wanted poster wins…..NOTHING.

  • 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.
