Byron Wilkins of 1977theComic is always supportive of my calls for guest cartoons here so I jumped at the chance to do one for his band (really it is a band) of 70’s lovers, drinkers, and stoners.

Editorial Cartoon: .XXX Marks the Spot
So it looks like all of us looking for photos of the White House on the web who accidentally went to .com instead of .gov are saved. A new domain extension is in the works that will end in .xxx and be specific to adult oriented sites.
One one hand you have the adult industry against it because they feel it will ghettoize porn on the web. On the other you have conservative groups against it because they feel it will legitimize porn on the web. But one of the funniest arguments I have seen is that the practice will actually make it easier for kids to find porn on the web. As if kids had trouble in the past.

Editorial Cartoon: The Gore’s Divorce
It was shocking last week to learn that after 40 years, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper were finally calling it quits. It just goes to show, you never know what people are going through.
For the uninformed, since leaving office, Al has become the Poster Boy for Global Warming and back in the 80’s when Al was just a senator, his wife Tipper headed up the Parent’s Music Resource Center (PMRC). Ultimately, their fight led to warning stickers on records and a Capitol Hill showdown with rockers including Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister.

Editorial Cartoon: Fergie on Oprah
Every once in a while I have to throw my many overseas fans a bone and do a cartoon that the Americans don’t get. It seems like former Princess and the original Fergie has gotten into hot water lately for trying to sell access to her ex husband in exchange for cash.
On the bright note there are things she won’t do for cash. Like sleep with a Saudi millionaire in exchange for $3 Million. The question is why come on Oprah for your mea culpa. True Oprah is the queen of tv but Americans really could care less. The people she needs to apologize to are the loyal subjects of her Majesty who help foot the bill for her alimony.
BTW…sorry for the terrible caricature of Fergie. Some people I just can’t do. But my Oprah ain’t bad.

Bearman Cartoon: Bristol Palin’s Speaking Fees
I am a firm believer in allowing private family members of public figures to be removed from public scrutiny. That is UNTIL they themselves decide to become a public figure. It was announced last week that Bristol Palin (daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin) is going on the speakers tour to talk about “don’t screw up and have a kid like I did as a teenager”.
Reports are that she will get between $15-30,000 per speech. That really busts my chops. Why weren’t my parents more popular? My life could be so much easier.

Bearman Cartoon: Pacman turns 30
So I know it is out of character for me to do 2 posts in the same day or to post a cartoon on a Friday but given that today is the 30th anniversary of the launch of Pacman, I thought it shouldn’t wait.
My rendition of the guy pales in comparison (what do you bottom dwellers expect) to our friend Scott Hampson from Agent X whose Pacman Cartoon has been stolen all over the internet. Yes bloggers, the least you can do when you steal an image is link back to the source and quit cutting out the guys URL from the picture.

Bearman Cartoon: How Elvis Died
Along with Monday’s post, this makes my second entry into Dialogue Free Comics Day. Check out some other entries.
I was all excited when I heard this story last week and several days went by without the Loonpicking up on the story (cause the girl has every tabloid on her RSS reader). But then friggin Duncan had to post it on Mad Hatters. While it is old news that Elvis suffered from constipation, it has recently been openly discussed by his personal physician the issues he had with it.
Seems it wasn’t the drugs or the peanut butter and fried chicken sandwiches that did him in, but rather constipation. See Elvis couldn’t take a normal healthy constitution. In fact he went days nay weeks without so much as a rabbit turd making its way to the sewers. All that weight gain was caused by a failure to clean the bowels. In fact pictures taken weeks apart would show Elvis looking like he either gained or lost 20 lbs depending on if he could relieve himself.
Personally when I strain I think I am going to have a stroke…but lo and behold he went and strained so much for so long that his heart finally gave out.
Back then I guess Immodium wasn’t so popular and he could have had a colostomy but he feared pooping himself onstage and unfortunately vanity did not serve him well. His autopsy revealed his colon was way bigger than the norm and they found 4-5 month old feces still in him. YUCK.

Bearman Cartoon: Where’s George
Noel Curry of DJ Bogtrotter fame had a challenge to cartoonists to do a cartoon without dialogue. He designated May 14 as Dialogue Free Comic Day. This is what I originally planned to post as he said dialogue on signs, etc was OK. But I came up with one that may be a little less obvious but fits the entire bill that I will post on Friday. So that is TWO…count em TWO Dialogue Free Comics for your enjoyment.

Bearman Cartoon: Ben Ruthless-Burger
American football star Ben Roethlisberger has seen better days. From leading the Pittsburgh Steeler to two Super Bowl wins to now being suspended for 6 games for violating the NFL’s code of conduct. When Ben came into the league as a rookie he quickly became the savior for a much suffering Steeler’s franchise. Fans referred to him as “Big Ben” and restaurants began selling the Roethlis-BURGER.
Now, for the second time in his career, there come allegations of a sexual assault. I won’t say whether I believe he is guilty or not. However, it is interesting that there were trade rumors so you have to wonder what the Steelers organization knows that they aren’t talking about that would want them to trade a proven leader on the field.
And if you think that I am just parodying a Pittsburgh player because it is a long time rival of my own Cincinnati Bengals, it is not true. When Chris Henry was having his issues with bar fights and other drinking issues, I told many people it doesn’t matter whether he feels he is wrongfully accused or doesn’t start the problems. You make enough money, keep yourself away from situations that might cause yourself problems. Unfortunately, now someone who people had admired, has left a bad taste in the mouth of many who used to be a fan.
