Hank D and the Bee: Help Create a New Cartoon Character

Posted on January 26, 2012 | 4 Comments


Hey Hankheads! I need your help. Can you suggest a new character for Hank D and the Bee? It can be an animal, a person, an insect, or anything your creative little brains come up with! Just leave your suggestions in the comment section of this cartoon, or (if you’re reading this on NaturalPapa, EcoChildsPlay, or EcoSnobberySucks) on my cartoon archive website.

After a week or two, I’ll put my favorite suggestions to a vote.

Looking forward to your ideas!

Thanks,
Joe

Finally, the Pro-life/Anti-earth Oxymoron Explained.

Posted on January 25, 2012 | Leave a comment


It is confusing to me how a large group of Republicans can be so vehemently pro-life yet so anti the environment. Either these people don’t understand that protecting the environment from major polluters and pollutants keeps all life (humans included) free of unnecessary toxins and carcinogens (SEE LINKS BELOW), or as the bumper stickers clearly state, they simply prefer the unborn.

If you are one of these mind-boggling Republicans, remember these toxins and carcinogens get into the mother and have an immediate and drastic effect on fetuses. If anything, protect the earth from harmful toxins for the fetuses. You won’t have to call yourselves “environmentalists”, call yourselves “Fetus Purifiers”, or something of the like…I’m sure you’re quite clever.

By the way, there are even Republicans environmentalists. You can join them (or him).

It’s never too late to stop cutting off your nose to ensure the major polluting industries that back your politician keep making insane profits (sharing none of the gains yet all of the “unforeseen” losses) while making us sick. I think that’s how the saying goes…

“FUGMO”: The Anti-GMO Mascot

Posted on January 18, 2012 | 4 Comments


Writers, Bloggers, Photographers, Cartoonists, please feel free to place the FUGMO seal of disapproval on any of your anti-GMO work. Readers, you are invited to add the seal to your avatar.
FUGMO says: “F U, GMOs!”

More on why you too should say F U to GMOs:

From Grist: The next generation of GMOs could be especially dangerous
From PlanetSave: Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Maize Fields
From Organic Consumers Association: Millions Against Monsanto
From Cornucopia Institute: More on GMOs

By the way, my cartoon website (and any other website speaking truth to corporate power) may get shut down if the SOPA legislation passes. It’s internet censorship. It kills the freedom of speech and today is the day to take action.

The Conversation That my Brother-in-law’s “Reagan Revolution” T-Shirt Provoked

Posted on January 11, 2012 | 2 Comments


I don’t see my brother-in-law, Bob too often. We disagree on just about every major thing two people could disagree on. However, we love each other and enjoy one another’s company. So even though Bob likes to provoke (much like his hero Glenn Beck) sometimes it’s best to put political/religious/social differences aside and enjoy being together.

Our politcal views should not force us to dislike family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors or strangers. It’s ok to disagree and move on. Look for reasons to love one another. Love is bigger than politics. Love unites. Let’s love more.
