    Reddit and Blogger Begin Banning Certain Nude Images

    Welcome news for those who have been the victim of others taking their “nude” photos and posting it on Reddit.  Blogger has announced that going forward nude photos have to be on a private site and reddit announced that nude images can no longer be posted without the subject in the image’s permission.  See story.

    Now if we could get a rating put on certain images as they are uploaded to Google Plus so I can avoid the explicit images some of my “friends” post so my wife doesn’t think I am looking at nudies on my ipad in bed.  I couldn’t resist creating this image of the reddit alien flashing you all.

  • I Hate Social Media Cartoon (Caption Contest)

    I Hate Social Media Cartoon

    Cartoon Caption Contest time.  You need to help me complete the words that best go into the third panel.  While I posed this as a cartoonist I think we can all relate to posting things online only for them to get ignored while other crap gets a bunch of attention.   Here are some options I came up with:

    • Oh look (fill in name of any Celebrity on the same social media site) found my cartoon and uploaded it to his stream.
    • I am just going to post how much I hate social media
    • Wow look at that cartoon.  Looks like he spent about 5 seconds on it.
    • Before I go, I’ll post this picture of my cat licking himself.

    All of my choices have actually happened to me.  Like one of these or got something better.  Post it in the comments.  I’ll put the finished one up either Wed or next Sunday.

  • Why Google Plus is better than….

    Why Google Plus is better than Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Digg

    So it is no secret that I have been somewhat neglecting my friends on facebook, twitter, etc because my time on social media has been taken up by Google Plus.  While it of course has some limitations I wish they would work out sooner rather than later, the above cartoon pretty much sums up why it is better IMO than other social media.

    As always let me know if you need an invite.  And for people who have recently joined who are lost, ahem Bo Lumpkin, a fellow cartoonist Debbie Ohi has created a nice page with links to help get you started.  You can find it here.

  • Every Damned Time Reddit (another viewpoint)

    Bearman-Cartoons-Every Damned Time Reddit (an alternative view)This is a response cartoon of sorts.  The other day I was trolling through Reddit.  For the uninformed, Reddit is a social news site, where people can upload pics, news, cartoons etc.  Reddit users can upvote or downvote any entry.    The little white guy with the orange eyes is the reddit mascot.

    When I remember, if something strikes me while I am surfing the web, I will post it to Reddit  and admitedly (while not everything) I will post some of my own stuff (probably because I live with a bunch of lazy readers who never noticed the damn share this buttons at the bottom of every post..haha you know I love you).   I am always amazed at the things that get upvoted and the things that get downvoted both of what I post and what others do.  Sometimes, I am “this is so f-ing stupid.  Why is it getting so many upvotes?”  And other times “This is amazing.  Who are these dumbasses downvoting it?”  So I can never figure out fully what people would be interested in.

    So the other day I was going through Reddit and found a post titled “Every Damned Time, Reddit”  by a deviantart illustrator that goes by FindChaos.  (Click on his link to find a full size version of the cartoon)

    So as you can see FindChaos finds Reddit so fun to play with forcing him to keep coming back again and again, while I tend to get beat to shit every time and still find my way back there.  Is there a battered redditors support group??
