    Republicans on Halloween

    10-29-15-Republican-Halloween-Bearman-Cartoons

    Halloween is almost upon us and it is time for Trick or Treating.  Unfortunately it seems with the round of candidates up for the Presidential Nominee, it is the Republican Party that is playing tricks on us.  So sure a kid seemingly dressed as a ghost is more likely a moderate Republican (or what 20 years ago was the mainstream of the party), hiding his face in shame for what the party has become.

    Republicans continue to hearken back to the Reagan era, but pundit after pundit will tell you that Reagan would be unelectable in today’s Republican Party.   See here and here. Starting with the Clinton era, forged in the Bush era and solidified in the Obama era, both parties have moved further and further from the center and would rather see the other side lose than to get things done for the country.

    Is it just the party or has the populace moved away from the center as well?

    Bonus points if you get the title of this cartoon: “We all have a face that we hide away forever”  Without looking it up of course

    99Blast on Kickstarter

    The Kickstarter for 99Blast seems to have come to a standstill over the past several days.  We hit 20% funded in the first 3 days but nothing in the past 2.  If you can, take a look and spread the word.  Kicktraq shows the progress below.

  • The Spirits of Christmas

    The Spirits of Christmas

    12-4-13-Bearman-Cartoons-The-Spirits-of-ChristmasSure in a Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three Spirits/Ghosts.  What if the spirits that were foretold by his deceased partner Jacob Marley turned out to be alcohol?  May you all have a very spirited Christmas (or whatever you celebrate).

  • Z&G at 1

    Unlike the first two guest cartoons, Roland Perez of Metal Jaw Comics and more specifically Z&G decided to showcase his characters at age one.   Z is Zech and is a Zombie.  G is Geist and is a Ghost.  Thus explains what Roland said when he sent my the cartoon:

    Here is the guest cartoon for 1 or 100. Of course I went with a somewhat disturbing choice with picking baby Z & G. Which is disturbing because it is weird to think of a baby zombie and a baby ghost. I hope you like it. I got a bit of inspiration from one of my favorite cartoons “Muppet Babies”

    Definitely plenty of inspiration shown from the Muppet Babies but who is that handsome fellow on the wall?   Love it.  Thanks again to all my guest cartoonists.  Make sure to follow all of them on Social Media and continue to check out their sites.

    Soory for the delay on this one it showed it missed the scheduled posting.  If it knew that why didn’t it just post?

     

     

  • Halloween Candy Bags

    So of course my favorite pagan Holiday is almost upon us.  Thought I would highlight a couple different Halloween designs this month available at http://wacksack.com.  So if you want your kid to have a candy bag that isn’t one of those fancy store bought kind, take a look at our crap. (Also available on tshirts of course)

    What ever happened to the days when we were growing up that you just used a pillow case?

  • Bearman Made Famous in Words

    Many of my cartoonist friends brag when their cartoon character ends up with a guest appearance in another artist’s cartoon.  Well I don’t have characters (besides I could never draw the same one twice if I tried).

    Then I realized that I am a character.  And much like David Hasselhoff, my appeal is stronger overseas than in America.  It became clearer when I got an email from DuncanR of UK who posts frequently at the Madhatters that he has immortalized me in a short story.  In fact many of the regular posters of Madhatters are in it.  Go read it here.

    Now I don’t appear until page two but this is how I am introduced:

    At this point, a big fellow, by the name of Bearman – braver or more foolish than most – spoke up.

    ‘Call yourselves men. You’se are just a bunch of Jessies. There’s no such thing as ghosts. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. And that’s that! It’s only imagination, or drink, that makes you see ghosts’

    ‘If you’re so hard’, said a voice from the crowd. ‘Why don’t you go into the Wailing Wood and bring us back the cap from that cattle thief we hanged today?’

    ‘Bugger the cap’, said Bearman. ‘I’ll bring back the firkin head!’ So saying, he pulled on a big pair of boots, tucked a bottle (to keep out the cold) into his pocket and strode from the castle.

    “Braver or more foolish” would tend to be how many would describe me.  Now I admit while I knew what bugger was, I had to pull out my English to English dictionary to figure out what a Jessie is.

    So go check it out now so you can say you were one of the first as soon my popularity will increase to the point that they will be making movies about me.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Giving out Stocks instead of Candy on Halloween

    This editorial cartoon by Bearman appeared at the cincinnatibeacon.com website on October 27, 2008. It depicts a man giving out stock certificates instead of candy to kids due to the cheaper price in the current economic recession.
