So much has been said about Charlie Sheen and his “Winning” slogan. Everyone wants to emulate Charlie and there are a ton of “Winning” shirts out there. But if you are going to be an ass in public (or just a little devilish imp) why not call a spade a spade and sport a “Sinning” t-shirt. Now available in the store.
I think it fits in nicely with all the 7 Deadly Sins that I did last year.
So here it is. The final compilation poster image of my Seven Deadly Sins series.
And as many of you recommended all week, the above poster image, shirts, buttons, magnets and more are now available at WackSack.com – the official Beartoons.com store).

Day six in our quest to showcase the Seven Deadly Sins in cute devil form. Today’s topic is Envy.
I really love how this one turned out. It is probably my favorite of the bunch. And yet another “sin” that I am guilty of.
I remember looking for houses and setting a housing budget like my dad taught me; no more than 33% of your gross income should go to housing expenses (including mortgage, insurance and utilities). Knowing the neighborhood we wanted to be in, I kept getting frustrated seeing all these houses that I liked but couldn’t afford with my budget. I remember asking my wife how the heck all these people could afford these houses and we couldn’t. She, being the financial whiz she is, replied “Because many of them are mortgaged to the hilt.” Sure enough when the housing market collapsed many of those same houses suddenly went on the market.
I envy other cartoonists, both in how amazing some of them can draw and how some who I feel I do better get many thousands of visitors daily. Yet I know there are others out there struggling to find an audience or their niche on the web and think I have it made.
So envy is a weird thing. You can be envious of someone one day and feel sorry for them the next. And for as much as you can be envious of others, there are probably people out the envious of you or your situation.

Today is the fifth cartoon in my series on the Seven Deadly Sins.
This one is a tricky one. I think Pride tends to get a bad rap among the sins world. A healthy dose of pride can be good for many people. Whether it be National Pride, Gay Pride, or simply Pride that you weren’t so stupid that despite other’s belief that you wouldn’t, you got a degree.
But as always too much of a good thing is bad. A strong belief in yourself is great. So strong a belief that you come off that you are better than everyone else or their opinion isn’t just as valid as yours is bad.

Today is part four in a series of the Seven Deadly Sins Cartoons. This one focuses on the sin or Anger or Wrath (but who knows what wrath means anymore)
Of all the sins, this is the one I probably suffer from the least. I am just not an angry person. Things don’t get me too upset. But if I am, you better watch out because you have pushed me too far.
I think life is too short to be an asshole (maybe I’ll make that saying into a tshirt…haha). There are people who walk around constantly with a chip on their shoulder as if the world owes them something. It doesn’t, so please stop thinking the world revolves around you; it revolves around me (oops there goes my “pride” coming in early).
I read something by author/blogger Seth Godin recently that technology hasn’t brought people together as many claim but rather created anonymous interactions where people are empowered to be assholes (my words not his) Couldn’t find the link. The utter vileness that people spew on the net that they wouldn’t dare say to someone they know or even face to face baffles me. But it goes beyond that. Politically, disagreeing with the government is not enough. The sheer vile anger towards Bush and now Obama shows that when it comes to meanness, it crosses the political spectrum.

Part three of my week showcasing the Seven Deadly Sins focuses on Gluttony. So far Dave has been the only one to fess up to this.
Yet another sin of mine. I grew up in a house where you had to clean your plate. That is great when you are a spastic kid who burns alot of calories but not so good when you become a sedentary adult. And as opposed to the Friggin Loon’s constant betrayal that I have a blogger’s butt, I have to say my butt is quite fine. And in other good news, I am down 14lbs in my quest to lose 24 to get back to my college weight. Why not 25…well that has to do with Sloth which is another of my sins…

Part two of my week showcasing the Seven Deadly Sins by Lust. It seems several of our regulars are guilty of this sin. (ahem Lynn, Myra, Dennis)
Speaking of Lust. The perfect story that ties into this idea happened just yesterday. While I was sitting in the car, my wife was outside pumping gas. (Now wait a minute before you say anything…it was her car so she should pump her own gas and it proves I am not a macho chauvinist that I would think women aren’t capable of pumping their own gas). Anyway this dude gets out of his car, sees my wife and says “Woo Wee, If the good Lord made you any finer he would have kept you for himself.”

One of the projects I have been working on as of late is to add some things to my online store. One idea I came up with was to do t-shirts and posters of the Seven Deadly Sins. Rather than make them ominous characters, I went more for cute. The Seven Deadly Sins are “a classification of the most objectionable vices that has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct followers concerning (immoral) fallen humanity’s tendency to sin.”
Given each sins call for very different personalities, I thought it would be a great challenge to myself to draw each of them.
Every day this week, I will post a new Deadly Sin. Today is Greed. I find myself greedy with my time more than money. I need to find more volunteer opportunities.
Spill it…who out there is Greedy?
