  • Merry Hanumas – Go Both Ways Greeting Card

    It has been a good week. First I have sold a few of the above Merry Hanumas – Go Both Ways designs at my shop.   We have a bunch of Jewish and Christian friends/family so rather than NOT send cards, I design my own.  This was a concept that I never did use for our cards but thought I’d throw it up on my store for the heck of it.  And several people have bought (woohoo $10 for me). And don’t tell me it should be Chrismukkah. That name sucks.

    Then I find out that I won a contest over at G’s Cedars Mountain Website.  I don’t recall answering correctly but I am not one to argue especially since he wrote such a nice endorsement of my own blog.  Please go check it out here.

    Finally, as I mentioned I have been doing some random Muggings (caricatures).  One I did last week was for fellow cartoonist Jim Huntsman.  He is on Google Plus and has his own site at Comic Kvetches.  This was my payback

  • Bearman "Retro" Cartoon: Shopping during the Holidays

    This was one of the first cartoons I ever created back in December of 2005 for what became the Cincinnati Beacon.

    I have no problem with whatever greeting people choose to use during the holidays. I just can’t stand when companies create a corporate mandate that says that an employee must say “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas” over the other. I would be happy to hear “Happy Kwanzaa” or “Happy Hanukkah” from someone assuming they meant it from the heart. I don’t take offense, I take it as someone wishing me well during the season. My only question is why aren’t they just as friendly the rest of the year.

    I would like to think that my style and ability has improved a little.  But I am still a hack.
