  • 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?

     

     

  • Welcome to the Jungle at 100

    Today’s Guest Cartoon is from Michael Pohrer of Tooned In/Welcome to the Jungle fame.  Here is how Michael describes his webcomic:

    There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man … a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. There’s a sign post up ahead, your next stop Welcome To The Jungle©. In their Golden Age glory we present Earl and Cami Bronze 2062.

    Welcome To The Jungle© is a feature cartoon strip that revolves around Bronze’s fitness center owned by Earl Bronze. Earl seems to effortlessly glide about the daily business of running a fitness center located in Osage Beach, a bustling paradise. Cami Bronze is Earl’s wife. As luck would have it they live right next door to Jim and Edna Jungle.

    Jim Jungle is a fitness instructor at Bronzes. Edna Jungle, Jim’s wife tries to cope with everyday life while dealing with Jim’s foibles and failings. Jim and Edna are an average couple grinding through daily life just as you and your neighbors.

    Chip Diel and Chet Rayban are two regular fitness center members. The duo work out often with little to show for their effort.

    The whole premise of the strip centers around typical daily life. Except for one thing, “IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE”. Witness the spectacle of human failings through the outrageously overactive antics of a huge dysfunctional group of the most unlikely characters to ever be found at a fitness center in a bustling paradise. Presented in the fabulous 2-D Cartoon-O-Vision format. Welcome To The Jungle©

    I don’t think Michael is ever at a loss for words.  haha.  He doesn’t have comments on his site right now but he is very active on Google Plus so feel free to comment on his work (well other than this one) over there or interact with him.  (Michael’s Google Plus link).  Thanks Michael.

  • PikPak at 100

    First Guest Cartoon while I am away is Kim Belding’s PicPak Webcomic.   Shown is PicPak the dog at age 100.  Here is how Kim describes the webcomic:

    Picpak Dog is a simple gag comic that revolves around Picpak, a big pink dog, his wife Wakky, a small blue cat, and all the folleys that they and their friends get themselves into. It’s simple, family-friendly and all-ages fun. The 100-year old here in question is Picpak. Things have changed a lot in the future. Somehow Picpak has aged, but his children haven’t. Kids these days.

    Thanks Kim for being first out of the gate and first to send me a guest cartoon.  I love the socks with sandals look.  So dad-like.   Go show Kim some love.  Thanks

  • Webcomics at 1 or 100

    So I am taking off for a few weeks and won’t be trolling your sites much if at all in that time.  I asked and recieved some great guest cartoons in my absence.  The task was to draw your cartoon character at either age 1 or 100.   The above was what I made of myself when I did this several years ago.

    Here is the schedule:

    So as always give them the love you don’t usually afford me and share their work on social media and talk them up.  And please try not to make a mess while I am gone.

     

  • Guest Cartoon: Stef Marcinkowski

    Stef Marcinkowski of the web graphic novel Sarah Zero, surprised me with this parody send up of Metallica’s album cover from “Master of Puppets”.     The original can be found on Wikipedia

    Check out Stef’s blogpost that describes his process.   FIFTEEN HOURS, yes I said 15 hours to complete this monstrous task.  And with an infant crawling around the house too.  That is a true Bearmaniac!!

    Guest Cartoon Request

    Taking some time off the first couple weeks of December so if you are a webcomic artist looking to promote your work this is a great opportunity.   I am doing a repeat of my very first guest cartoon request.  Since I don’t have regular characters, I want to see you use your characters with a twist.    Here is what I am looking for:

    • Show us what one of your characters will look like at age 100 OR looked like at age one.
    • Single Panel (max 500 pixel width)
    • Give me a paragraph that describes your webcomic and who the character is that you have drawn
    • Send to me bearmancartoons at yahoo.com
    • Submit by November 20.

    Need inspiration?  Well you can check out the submissions from when I put out  the call back in 2009 from George Ford, Dan Long, Byron Wilkins, Warren Frantz, Robert Matejcek aka Spilled Ink, and Nate Fakes

     

     

  • Guest Cartoon: Nef of Midtoon

    Guest Cartoon from Nef of Midtoon

    I have them coming out of the woodwork to support the Charity Challenge this year.  Neftali Rivera (Nef) of Midtoon Comics fame presented me with this gem.  Unfortunately life has gotten in the way of Nef updating Midtoon as of late, but I truly appreciate his support in my challenge.

    Love his take of the Bearman gravatar.  I think I would keep the camera off on purpose.

    Charity Challenge continues. See how you can help by clicking below.

  • Guest Cartoon: Nate Fakes

    Guest Cartoon: Nate Fakes

    Today’s guest cartoon comes from the one and only Nate Fakes of Break of Day Comic (please forgive him that he decided to post his comic on go comics which always tries to do pop ups) and of Nate’s Ramblings.

    Now I asked Nate where he got the notion that Bearman had so much gray hair and his reply was that he blew up my avatar and my shading looked like it was actually gray hair.  This looks like a normal weekend in my neighborhood though.

    BTW, if you love Break of Day but don’t want to “subscribe” to comment, do what I do and follow Break of Day on Facebook and comment there.

    Thanks Nate!

  • Guest Cartoon: Noel Curry

    Bearman Cartoons Guest Cartoon by Noel Curry

    When I returned from vacation, I was pleasantly surprised to find a guest cartoon from the illustrious Noel Curry waiting in my inbox.  Noel is the mind behind both DJ Bogtrotter Cartoons and Milton’s Life Cartoon.  And if that weren’t enough, he is a prolific twitterer and the mind behind Tuesday Sketch. 

    Tuesday Sketch is a weekly challenge for anyone who wants to put pencil to paper and draw the weekly challenge.  Follow Noel on Twitter and each Tuesday he announces the topic and those willing post their results to the Tuesday Sketch Flickr Group.  Yours truly has submitted in the past (see here and here).

    Thanks again Noel.

  • Guest Cartoon: Aidan Casserly

    Bearman Guest Cartoon: Aidan Casserly

    Today’s guest cartoon comes from the multi-talented Aidan Casserly of Scapula fame.   I have a short attention span so I tend to shy away from comics with extended story lines.  But Aidan keeps the humor going in each weekly strip and his artwork is amazing so he has me hooked.

    I don’t know why The Bearman doesn’t take hold.  Maybe in a future story, Aidan can write how all this rejection turns him bad (or good).

    Last up is George Ford of Addanac City on Sunday.
