Golfer Beware Of Global Warming

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I used to caddy for my Dad when he played his friends, so, this just sounds like another excuse for golfers to me. LOL Bear hugs, Frankie

It’s a tragic thing when an inconvenient truth interrupts one’s golf game.

Sometimes nature can be so downright rude.

Personally, I’d write my congressmen and senators and governors and really give them a piece of my mind!

Weird, I know, but ya gotta love it. Peace and hugs, David

Do Polar Bears Catch Colds?

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

With this cold weather and having just had my worse cold of the season with some pretty powerful sneezes, this cartoon struck a cord with me. Bear hugs, Frankie

Yep it’s been cold lately. My thermometer has been hovering around -20 and less for a couple of weeks. The mushers on the first nite of the Yukon Quest dog-sled race had to brave -60, at least that’s where the thermometer bottomed out! It thinned out the field somewhat in the first couple days.

Too bad it doesn’t put a freeze on some irrational thinking around these parts. A freeze on pursuing drilling in the Beaufort Sea or creating the Pebble Mine might be “cool,” so to speak. Putting some of those “extra” Alaska Billions towards alternate energy research, or at the least, admitting there is just a chance there might be global warming?

But maybe since it’s been exceptionally cold, the freeze seems to have gone deeper than normal. Where normally the cold affects one’s motor skills, judgment, and general overall thinking, it seems to me it has completely frozen all powers of reason, logic, and even memory among some of those who are making decisions around here.

It occurs to me that dependency upon oil and coal is much like an addiction. And those in power who are seriously addicted to the profits are exhibiting some serious irrational behavior and denial.

Bi-Polar Bear

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Polar bear sows seem like two different bears when you read about them. They are vicious hunters but they are also very loving mothers who nurture their young. Not unlike humans. Bear hugs, Frankie

What started as a take on an obvious pun turned into a humbling voyage of self exploration. Actually, I am not necessarily bi-polar. Is there such a thing as “multi-polar?”

Anyhow, I found the image of a bi-polar polar bear quite scary indeed. It’s probably fortunate for us that they do not indulge in such psychological luxuries. Hugs, David

SOB — Save Our Bears

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Now that I’ve got your attention. Seriously, if SOB doesn’t grab people’s attention, not much will! I’ve included both of David’s current SOB (Save Our Bears) designs. I’m sure he’ll have more in the future. Enjoy. Bear hugs, Frankie

Let me get something clear about the SOB. It was Frankie’s husband’s idea (Oran) to do the “S.O.B.” thing. Even though it stood for “Save Our Bears” I kinda got wet feet about it.

I’d been admonished before for crossing the line with some of my images in my early stages. I was afraid we’d offend people with the SOB. But suddenly, I’m having so much fun with SOB I can’t stop thinking about SOB designs, and SOB ideas, and SOB jokes.

The whole SOB thing has gotten me so into the SOB, all I can think about is the SOB. I’m having SOB dreams, SOB fantasies. I walk up to someone and say, “Hey…SOB!” Man this is fun.

Hey, Oran was the SOB originator! It was his SOB idea! Don’t go coming down on me for being the SOB cartoonist, when it wasn’t my SOB idea!

I say, get your own SOB t-shirt, and wear it proudly. Us SOB people gotta stick together.
Hugs, David
