Beware The Polar Bear Dairy-Air (Part 1)

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Polar Bear Dairy-Air? David’s play on words are as much fun to me as his cartoons. This is part 1 of a 3 part strip full of fun and leaving no senses unscathed. I love it when he gets ticked at the powers-that-be — spelled “politicians”. If you want to get him started, just ask him about gas and oil politics in Alaska! Enjoy and make sure to come back for the rest of the story. – Frankie

This is page one of a rather ambitious three-page project that originally appeared in my newsletter.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had just announced that she felt that reports of global warming and it’s affect on the polar bears were inconclusive and unfounded. She also made it clear that to declare the polar bear as endangered would threaten the oil industry and oil and gas exploration in Alaska.

So I made this little “Burma-shave” type series of what I would do if I was a polar bear.

Polar Bears And Spam

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I would be insulted about this slur on spam, if I hadn’t turned vegetarian this past year. I’m an Army brat and was raised with fried spam and eggs, raw and fried spam sandwiches, and macaroni and cheese with spam. I loved it and ate it all the time until I decided not to eat anything that I name — and I pretty much name all animals. But if I was still eating meat, believe you me, I’d still eat spam. – Frankie

Sorry folks, but I had to take a break from the global warming thing to address something that is probably familiar (and frustrating) to everyone who has a computer and sends and receives e-mail. Please note, however, that I am in no way suggesting that you follow this bear’s example as to what to do with all that nasty spam.

Did you know that Alaskans eat more spam than any other state except for Hawaii? Isn’t that just an amazing and provocative bit of information? I thought that would thrill you. – David

A Cartoon Worth A Thousand Words

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

This cartoon makes a huge statement even without a lot of words, just seeing the bear looking down at the hole in the ice is powerful imagery. A picture, or in this case, a cartoon, IS worth a thousand words.- Frankie

I guess this image was the first one that I felt good about. I liked the way the image said so much with so few words. I was beginning to see and feel the real power of what a cartoon could be. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough faith in it. I thought I needed to put the dialog beneath the image to get the message across. I apologize to you, dear reader, for underestimating your ability to figure stuff out on your own. Believe me, I meant no insult. Please forgive me.

Keep in mind that I am far from perfect. I forget, every now and then, that I am creating these cartoons for you, the public. Too often, I think I’m trying to get a message to our leaders. And considering the job they are doing and the decisions they are making, I tend to spell everything out as I would to a very small child…and a selfish and bratty one at that. – David

Polar Bears Get Shirt…Faced

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

The image of Polar bears getting shirt-faced just tickles me something fierce. The double entendre adds to it’s appeal. And to top it off, David, put the image for my Are You Polar Bear Aware? site on the t-shirt the bear is wearing, which makes it meaningful to me as well. I’ve only been shirt-faced, so to speak, once so I know that this way is way cooler — not to mention less messy — than the way I did it! – Frankie

This is exactly what it says, “Get Shirt-faced.” I mean really! You can be the first on your block (or blog) to get a Polar Bear face plastered on your very own front!

Any resemblance to any other familiar slogan, which might or might not be distasteful, is all in your imagination. I thought it was a great, in fact, brilliant promotional idea. A very cool slogan! Then again, it’s possible I was shirt-faced when I thought of it. – David
