New Banner Ads

 

So I finally decided to update my banner ads that might reflect two of the core areas of focus for Bearman Cartoons.  Politics and Pop Culture.

I love how the politics one turned out but not sure if I should have made the pop culture one animated or not.  Thoughts?

(BTW this is just the Skyscraper 160×600 but also made a Leaderboard (728×90) and a Banner Ad (468×60)  that you can check out on the Banner Ads Page

Bearman Cartoon: Obama bows to Emperor

It seems the masses are all in an uproar about President Barack Obama bowing a greeting to Japanese Emperor Akihito.  So I have gathered the top 5 reasons Obama did this so you people can get over it.   The last reason is todays editorial cartoon.

1. He is so tall and Akihito so short, that he HAD to bend down to reach Akihito’s hand.
2. He got confused by the famous international etiquette book Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands that he tried to do all three at once.
3. He made the Emperor feel superior on purpose.  How many of you wouldn’t grovel to someone you want to lend money to you or invest in your business(es)?
4. Friday’s basketball game with the White House motor pool caused his back to go out.

AND NUMBER 5….

Retro Editorial Cartoon: Halloween and Politicians

October 31 around here doesn’t only mean Halloween. It means an election is right around the corner. This is the time the politicians and lobbyists pick it up on the rhetoric, scare tactics and door-to-door visits. I did this one in 2007.

Bearman Cartoon: Freedom of Speech

This editorial cartoon was born of frustration.  There are several sources that say the majority of American editorial cartoonists lean to the left while there are fewer that lean to the right.  Then there are those like me who are moderate.  I am conservative on some things and liberal on others, but I am willing to be convinced that my facts or data is wrong.

I am jealous of the liberal or conservative cartoonists because they can stay on one side of the fence and throw lobs across it. I on the other hand get to weave back and forth which is a blessing because it doesn’t limit me but it can also be tiring. I have been called too liberal and too conservative in the same week because of different cartoons.

I am tired of the generalized statements like Republicans are all this or Democrats are all that. It diminishes the argument or point you are trying to make and becomes a pissing match or just name calling versus open and honest debate. Whether it is Tea Party Members disrupting the speeches of Democratic Senators or College Professors organizing disruptions of Conservative Speakers, they both demand to be heard but won’t allow the speaker the same benefit .

There is a saying that is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Voltaire that says “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. Too much it is more like “I defend Freedom of MY Speech, F— the rest of you”
