    Why can’t UPS ring the doorbell

     

    8-3-17--Bearman-Cartoons-Why-doesn't-UPS-ring-the-doorbell

    Does anyone have trouble with their UPS drivers not being able to find or figure out how to use the doorbell when dropping off packages?  I can be working from home waiting a package and not realize that it was actually delivered until hours later.  On a busy street where packages can go missing or perishable items might be included, it is kind of imperative to be able to know you have a package and expedite removal of it from your porch.

    Thankfully I found the missing page from the manual so that proper training can continue.

    Jinder Mahal – Don’t Hinder Jinder

    6-8-17--Bearman-Cartoons-Jinder-Mahal-WWE-at-Starbucks-Cartoon

    Jinder Mahal, WWE Wrestler and current Smackdown WWE Champion is today’s cartoons subject thanks to a request from friend Debbie Adams (Check out her art).

    One of the slogans that uses is “Don’t Hinder Jinder”.  On Twitter, former WWE Wrestler Simon Gotch and wrestling fan MCFLO14 were musing about what would happen if Jinder were only slightly hindered.  The idea of them writing his name as Ginger on his to go coffee cup at Starbucks came up and it was the perfect time to draw the Maharaja.

    For those who missed it, it actually wasn’t the first time Jinder was part of one of my drawings.  See this.

    Happy Mothers Day Nosy Moms!!!  Well isn’t every mom nosy and prying?  I mean that is what they are supposed to do.  Years ago someone I knew named Doug recounted this story to me as he was in his mid 30’s and his mother was pressuring him to get married.  His response was so classic I somehow remembered it the other day and had to post for all of you for Mothers Day.

    Happy Mothers Day to my mom…who never comes to my site so she can’t smack me for making fun of old ladies.  🙂

    Barron Trump – White House Chief Strategist

    Bearman Cartoons Barron trump takes over Chief Strategist from Steve Bannon Editorial Cartoon

    Barron Trump.  Seemingly the only Trump child President Donald Trump hasn’t had either run his companies or be a part of running the country.  Last week daughter Ivanka was named Assistant to the President.  Now with son-in-law Jared Kushner making a power play it seems for control of the President’s ear and agenda which could push White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon to the curb.  Just a small change to the letters on the door and Barron could be in by summer vacation.

  • The Boycott Culture – Is it hurting American Business?

    The Boycott Culture – Is it hurting American Business?

    2-17-17-Bearman-Cartoons The Boycott Culture

    Boycott Culture is alive and well in America.  I have no problems with a person choosing to boycott any business that they don’t agree with the practices thereof, however I do have a problem when you assume I should be boycotting the business as well or I am a bigot, racist, sexist, or any other form of -ist.

    It used to be that boycotts were used as a means for cultural change.  Now it is used to act out personal grievances.  Dennis Wyatt states in a recent editorial: ” Instead of being well-thought-out and organized efforts such as lettuce and grape boycotts organized by real change agents such as Cesar Chavez, most of the ones popping up today are from folks acting on the spur of the moment hearing someone say something they don’t like.”

    Because Uber CEO, Travis Kalani, was part of a Trump Advisory committee, people started demanding #deleteuber boycotts.  No one bothered to find out if Kalani was in full agreement with Trump or was trying to promote favor with the President.  No.  He had any kind of association with a President people don’t like so we should automatically boycott his company.  Now people are calling for boycotts of Tesla because Elon Musk hasn’t stepped down from the advisory board.  His response is one people should hear: “Activists should be pushing for more moderates to advise President, not fewer. How could having only extremists advise him possibly be good?”  Exactly.  If you make anyone who might be able to have a voice of reason advise the President too scared to try, all you will get is people who don’t care what you think and are to the extreme in their viewpoints.

    You have people boycotting Norstrom because they stopped carrying Ivanka Trump’s line and people boycotting Bloomingdales because they still do.  You have artists who will boycott Israel (Roger Waters) declaring it is because of human rights issues but have no problem performing in Russia, China, or Saudi Arabia.

    In the end it diminishes what a true boycott is and should be.  So for now, I am boycotting the boycotts.

    GOP in the Hot Seat

     

    1-31-17-Editorial-Cartoon-Republicans-need-to-clean-up-Trumps-Shit-Bearman-CartoonsAhhh, the GOP is in the hot seat.   Whether you think Republicans are responsible for the election of Donald Trump or the DNC and the Clinton campaign are (or the Russians, or Bernie Sanders), clearly the Republican Party is the only one that can and should make sure there is checks and balances with our new President.

    George RR Martin finishes new book – 2016

    1-4-17--Bearman-Cartoons-George-RR-Martin-wrote-2016

    George RR Martin, the author of the Game of Thrones series, is known not to be sentimental about leading characters in his books.  In fact he is known to kill off a few of your favorites regularly.  Which got me thinking.  With all the celebrity deaths in 2016, did good old George write that book?

    Hoping 2017 is a good year for all of you (and celebrities).

    Back in the day my mom always yelled at us if we sat too close to the television because the thought was it would ruin our eyesight.  If my mom were in charge, virtual reality headsets would NOT be a thing.

    Look at that….with all the people threatening to move to Canada, Donald Trump is already a job creator (cough cough)

  • Wasted Votes

    Wasted Votes

    Editorial Cartoons Wasted Vote

    Wasted Vote for a third party or write-in candidate or spoiler for certain parties candidacies?  Everyone blames Ralph Nader for Gore losing the 2000 election but no one tends to bring up the fact that if it weren’t for Ross Perot, we probably would have had another Bush Sr. term.

    Electorally it looks like Hillary Clinton should have a lock on the election.  But assuming it is close as it was in 2000 and a third party candidate should win just one state allowing for neither Clinton or Trump to reach 270 Electoral Votes.  Then it goes to congress to decide among the top THREE electoral vote getters.  Given the disdain for Trump and the fear Clinton could spell doom for the Democrats in 2020, Congress may want a third party to give them time to fix their own parties over the next four years.

    What say you?
