    Editorial Cartoon: Gun Control and North Korea

    10-6-17--Bearman-Cartoons-Gun-Control-North-Korea

    Sorry it has been a while since my last cartoon, let alone editorial cartoon but something struck me the other day after the tragedy at Las Vegas with the push again for gun control.

    I believe in the second amendment and I also believe, much like we do with other rights, there are limits and there are requirements.  As much as we talk about the 1st amendment, there are things you can’t say and platforms where your free speech is legally limited.

    If I said I want to drive a tank around my neighborhood, would that be OK??  The NRA and gun advocates should be on the forefront to ensuring that guns are kept out of the hands of those who are most likely to use them in unintended ways.  Domestic violence record…no gun.  Mental instability…no gun until you can prove your stability.  Waiting periods and background checks should not be a hindrance.

    Kim Jong Un of North Korea wishes he could have that much freedom (which of course he shouldn’t)

    The Real Story Behind “The Interview”

    The real story behind “The Interview” will probably never be known.  But today’s cartoon tongue in cheek claims maybe it was a mutually beneficial relationship between Seth Rogen and Kim Jong Un all along.

    There are so many conspiracy theories behind who really hacked Sony Pictures and what if any blame lays at the hands of North Korea.   Some reports say it was North Korea and others claim it wasn’t.  Even North Korea got into the conspiracy theory fray by claiming the United States government was actually behind the movie to undermine and embarrass the North Korean Government.  Now as history shows, especially during WWII, the US was heavily involved in film propaganda work as the majority of Americans went to the movies for entertainment.  But everyone knows our government isn’t funny, so to put this out is probably beyond them. SMIRK (As my friend Jynksie would say)

    So with a limited run and “The Interview” being mostly streamed on the net, it make $18million in the first week and is the most talked about movie of the year.  Consequently, North Korea is also back in the news.

    So conspiracy theory nerds, what say you?

    Editorial Cartoon Kim Jong Un Pajamas

    Kim Jong Un is back in the news again this Christmas so thought it was time to reshare this cartoon I did in 2011 when he took over as Supreme Ruler in North Korea.   Seems there is some issues that North Korea has with Sony Pictures “The Interview” starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.    The premise being the two stars are hosts of a tabloid show and when invited to do an interview with Kim Jong Un, are recruited by the CIA to turn it into an assassination plot.

    In turn, North Korean hackers, hacked Sony leaking private emails and personal employee information along with a slew of other secrets the company would probably have liked the world not to see.  And most recently the North Koreans have placed the blame for the production of the movie on the US Government itself, claiming the government helped get the movie produced as a propaganda piece.

    Don’t they know our government doesn’t have a sense of humor.

    (Surprisingly for always being on top of the North Korean goings on, I haven’t heard anything from the Friggin Loon on this story)

    It is a sad day at the Friggin Loon’s site as she no longer has Kim Jong Il to kick around.  Happily though it looks like his son, Kim Jong Un, has taken up daddy’s job as Supreme Ruler so well that he has begun wearing the Pajama looking outfits made famous by his father.

    And even the website Kim Jong Il Looking at Things has made the transition to Kim Jong Un Looking at Things.  Click here for Il and Un looking at each other wearing PJs.
