I just realized that I never did post my guest cartoon I did for Tony Piro over at Calamities of Nature. Don’t be fooled by my schlock. Tony does great work. Check him out.

Posted in Guest Cartoon with tags 2012, Bearman, Bearman cartoons, Calamities of Nature, Mayan Calendar, Tony Piro on December 29, 2009 by bearmancartoonsHead over to Tony Piro’s Calamities of Nature to see my guest cartoon that I did for his contest. My topic was about 2012 and the end of the Mayan Calendar.
I wasn’t a winner by a long shot but Tony felt shamed into posting my cartoon anyway since I took the time to enter. 🙂
I’ll post it here in a few days.

I don’t know how she found it but Midwest Mom over at hmmm-sweet-splendid-wisdom has found a picture of me and posted it on her site. Go check it out here.
Bearman Cartoon: 2012 and the End of Days AGAIN
Posted in BearToons with tags 2012, Armaggedon, Bearman, bearman cartoon, cartoon, Conspiracy Theory, editorial cartoon, End of the World, humor, Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus, Polar Shift, political cartoon, Yahtzee on January 3, 2009 by bearmancartoonsDaryl Cagle has coined the term “Yahtzee” to refer to when 5 or more editorial cartoonists do the same gag. One he has ragged on in the past is using the “I’m with stupid” shirts on a cartoon. I have no idea who he is referring to..he he. In honor of that, I like to coin my own new phrase “Blue Ribbon.” When a cartoonist is the first to latch onto a new topic.
I did a 20 second search of google and haven’t found anything poking fun at the next set of conspiracy theory doomsday predictors – 2012. I saw the movie trailer this past week and thought it was well done. Then I made a trip to the bookstore and noticed all the books on the subject (even one that is a How To Survive 2012 book).
The basic gist is that there is a belief that because the Mayan calendar ends in December of 2012 that somehow they predicted the end of the world. One theory is that we will have a major catastrophe caused by the shifting of the North and South poles. I have even heard Nostradamus’ name thrown out. Didn’t he predict the end of days before during the turn of the century…didn’t come true. Sadly I think this will become worse than Y2K.
So if you see a 2012 editorial cartoon online somewhere that was published before mine, let me know and I’ll gladly hand over my Blue Ribbon.
