My previous post was number 500 of my blog that started in the winter of 2008. So to commemorate I am doing a caricature giveaway. You have until midnight Saturday SEPTEMBER 17 to enter (for those of you who are slow to check in).
All you need to do is comment on this post and tell me what your favorite of the past 500 posts has been and why. Simple. Head to the archive to get started if you are newer around here. Winner will be drawn and posted on Sunday. Winner agrees to let me post their picture and finished work so think about that before you enter. If you win and you want a celebrity caricature instead of you, I will make that happen.
Thanks as always for continuing to laugh and debate here. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

I won’t enter as I have my caricature already. That’s a lot of posts to go through & there have been so many that come to mind. I don’t really know why but the Noisy Potato Chips one has been my long time favourite. Congratulations on the big #500!!!
Thanks Tony. I forget how many people I have drawn already. I might not get much response.
I thank you also. You have improved my site (cause God knows it ain’t the content) with your caricature of me. 🙂
Not entering obviously but will promote on stumble.
Thank you sir
I would love to enter, but alas, I don’t quite remember the title of the post that I’d first read and commented on. Shoot, I don’t even remember when I’d first got here to begin with.
I think it had to do something with blacks either as lead characters or sterotypes in movies back in 2009 (I think).
Good for you I have a search function.
http://beartoons.com/2009/03/23/where-are-my-black-super-heroes-andor-villians/
Where are my black super heroes and villains was indeed a 2009 post. Consider yourself entered.
I’ll give someone else an opportunity to win the contest, but one of my favorite (there are so many quality gems to choose from) Bearmna posts has to be “Bearman Cartoon: Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett” on June 25, 2009. There was no caption, but the image alone resonated powerfully with me. All in all, a good job of drawing and a great tribute to two pop culture icons.
For those wondering…this is the one George is talking about

One of mine is one you inspired me to do on Swine Flu
http://bearmancartoons.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/bearman-cartoon-swine-flu/
The swine flu cartoon was my next favorite. I almost picked that one, but the MJ/FF one touched my soul just a lil’ more.
Well it’s Sunday night so the deadline has come and gone. That’s what happens when you’re always boating on the weekends.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Sandee I just posted this today. You have until next saturday
Without a doubt …..

You are a snake in the grass
Pretty much 🙂
CONGRATS on one ridiculously impressive milestone, Bearman! I can’t even count to 500! Wowza!
Seriously, though… thank you so much for your continued kindness, friendship and all the thought provoking laughs you’ve given everyone… it’s been almost too much fun (I’m sure looking forward to your next 500 posts)!
Picking a Bearman favorite could be a challenge… (it’s definitely a good excuse to go back through your archives, though… I’ll have to give that a spin this week)!
🙂
Spin away!!
Okay, so I should probably remove myself from the running (because why scare your readers like that).
I did have fun going back through your archives, though…
My list would have to include: Where’s the Nuggets, Male Pattern Birdness and Porky the Swine Flu (of course I love your Boris Badenov, too)…
🙂
Boris has a last name?? Who knew. And why would you remove yourself from the running. We all know there is an article that was done on you and your lovely wife that shows your mug.
I did all I could to hide…
(that photo of me is probably what scared away all our bid’ness…)
🙂
Congrats on a fantastic archive of posts. Like everyone else – I’m already excited about the next 500!
I love looking through the archives but I have to say my recent favorite was the Casey Anthony/Dexter poll. The folks in my office were fighting all over and calling for her head when I pulled that up on my computer one day and started a discussion as to whether or not she passed Dexter’s test. It calmed everyone down, and we actually had a deep and intelligent discussion about the issue. So – that was a good comic, and a good deed.
Congrats again!
Wow I didn’t realize I was the springboard for such a deep conversation Kellie.
For all, here is that entry http://beartoons.com/2011/07/17/what-would-dexter-do/
Jeez, you expect me to read back over 500 posts ???? 😯
I’ll have to wait till my boss goes to the loo !
Seriously, congrats on posting so many toons, Bearman
Well Geez Dunc how many caricatures do you need?
Hey, it’s not for me, Bearman – it’s for a friend !
P.S. Do you think you could fix it so Loon wins?
I’d love to see you caricature her
(Perhaps you could tidy her hair a bit so she doesn’t look like she’s been dragged through a hedge backwards) 😆
A mosquito with dee snyder hair shouldn’t be too hard to draw.
I don’t even know how many posts I’ve done. Onward and Upward! I like the multi-panel material.
Oh so you like me to have to work hard.
I liked the fairly recent one about google+
I have done a few so I am thinking you mean this one?
http://beartoons.com/2011/08/28/why-google-plus-is-better-than/
Oh, and I would feel remiss if I didn’t take this moment to wish you a hearty congratulations on your 500th Posting. I didn’t know you had that much hot air in you. Hahahaha! 😀
It has taken me three years to bloviate what you do in one
Congradulations on 500 my friend. I would like to enter. I am a big fan of your wwe pictures. The way you drew Randy Orton and the Vinny Mac poster. I am a huge fan of the wwe. I watch every monday and friday. I have enjoyed coming to visit your site and having you come to my site and commenting.
JB. One of my favs only because I think I nailed the caricature of Orton considering I am hit or miss at times.

I was kind of fond of the whole Death Panel series. That is what got me started to reading and commenting here.
That was my very first long form attempt. Way too many celeb caricatures I had to attempt too.
For those interested it starts here http://beartoons.com/2009/08/20/bearman-cartoon-celebrity-death-panel-1/
BTW Congrats on the 500. You post every couple of weeks so that means you have been around what, 10 years or so? Just kidding I know you post twice a week and you go for quality. Good work Bearman and I do enjoy the interaction with others…if I just had time to enjoy it.
There is always time to enjoy the interaction. I tried the 3x a week for a while but 2x is much more fitting for my lifestyle.
I would interact a lot more but my phone will not always cooperate and I only have internet connection 3 half days a week (and sometimes I actually have some work to do during that time). It is kind of hard to squeeze all I would like to do in with such limited connection time. Lately circumstances have been eating into some of that time too.
I am going to hang a fiber line to Gator-country for you.
That would be nice. They already put a cable in front of my house with big ugly orange and white plastic posts (about 3 years ago) but I think they just put it there to make the world look tacky.
Tell them to run the line already
You know, it is SO hard to try to pinpoint one particular Beartoon I like the most. There have been so many fun ones, it’s so hard to say. Sincere congratulations on your 500 posts. You are a man of wit and talent, and your work sings (sometimes it breaks glass). You are an unstoppable comedy force. Like Kellie said, I too am excited about the next 500!
Oh geez…I have to do 500 more!! ugh. haha Thanks for being a part of it Mark.
I’m not entering the contest per se, since I have a fantastic guest comic from you from way back when! I just wanted to say, I can’t pick a favorite, because I like em all! [brown nosing][smirk]
I thought my butt was itching.
I’m going with Hallmark Fail
http://beartoons.com/2011/05/29/hallmark-fail/
because I like funny cards and I don’t like asparagus
I still need to make that a real card one of these days.
I want one! Okay, lemme think here….
Well, I could be cocky and say I like my guest ‘toons, but I wouldn’t do that (or would I?). I actually like your take on celebrities. I can think of quite a few that I enjoy – but heck – I like all your post!
Now, do I win?
You have to wait and see. But I’ll enter you even if you have a big ego.
Darn! I’m late. Ah well… I’m new anyway but congratulations! My favorite was the political one after the man vs. food one. I didn’t really have a comment for it besides I thought it was cool but it WAS! I think it would apply to just about any situation you could name.
YOU ARE NOT LATE
Oh good. I thought it was after Saturday but that was last week or something.
My favorite would have to be Bert and Ernie, makes me laugh every time I look through the archive. ^^
Congrats on 500! 50 seems scary to me ><
Which Bert and Ernie though
This one http://beartoons.com/2011/08/14/editorial-cartoon-bert-and-ernie-gay/ or this one http://beartoons.com/2009/11/12/bearman-cartoon-sesame-street-at-40-ernie-and-bert/
The proposal ^^
Why, FIB, of course. Loved El Rushbo’s sorta face, and of course the link to my original rendition of Mr. Flatulence 🙂
Oh lord, look who came out of the woodwork. Good to hear from you Jammer.
That would be this one. http://beartoons.com/2010/01/18/flatulence-in-broadcasting/
Butt of course, and it’s response to this one: http://jammer5spolyrant.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/rush-flatulence-in-broadcasting-limbaugh/
You are an inspiration
Not quite sure how to take that 🙂
In the best of ways. Your post gave me the inspiration. Why do you think I am mad you stopped blogging…made me run out of ideas.
My favorite post is the one where you say Wombania is the best comic strip ever, and Binky is your favorite Wombie.
I am having trouble finding that one. Can you help..haha
I can’t seem to find it now! Are you saying I might have imagined it?
No…but you probably drew it yourself.
[…] forget that you have until Midnight Saturday to win a free caricature. Details. jQuery(document).ready(function($) { […]
I don’t remember the title but I loved the one you did on Charlie Sheen. With everything going on with him. It was great to see your take!
That would be THIS one http://beartoons.com/2011/02/27/editorial-cartoon-charlie-sheen/
Holy cow…500! Congrats and well done!
My all time favorite is your Hallmark Fail with the super cute and stinky asparagus. Hallmark has no sense of humor.
haha. Still one of my favs as well.
can you draw me as a different puppet this time??
Kermit??
