GUEST POST GUEST POST GUEST POST (or DovBear agreeably launches another competitor)

As many of you know there have been many many jblogs over the years, although very few with the longevity and popularity of our exceedingly gracious host Dovbear. But the format’s always the same -- words, words, words. Too many of them. We are the people of the book, not of the blog. And illustrations? That’s for children and for the goyim. Until now. Meet the newest jblog: old topics, new format.Cartoons! And our addressis: http://oyveycartoons.wordpress.com/


Here is an example exclusive to DovBear’s readers l’kvod Purim, titled Dovbear’s Hagadah:



[DB: The she'ayno yodea lishol is meant to be an uneducated
member of the hamon am, not a talmud chacham
]


Most of the cartoons are intended as commentary on subjects close to the cartoonist’s heart and personal experience, namely, issues in the Chassidic and ex-chassidic community. But many – perhaps even most -- of them apply equally to any frum or secretly-not-frum and OTD communities and some even apply to the wider conservative milieu. Check us out! Click back to the very beginning. Any questions and discussions on the meaning of the cartoons, its correctness or fairness or ability to drive home the message, and even on the technical execution and merit is welcome in the comments section. We hope to update anywhere from one to three times a week (cartooning is hard!) with fresh never-seen-before material. There will also be caption contests, works done on special request (email us your ideas please), and… nudes. Maybe.

About Shpitzle, the cartoonist: Shpitzle Shtrimpkind started blogging with her shpitzel headgear (really!) and her offspring deep inside one of the most sheltered and cloistered Satmar communities. But sheended blogging as an educated secular(ish?) woman writing with humor and poignancy of a new life. And now… cartoons! You can read all her old and new writings online to watch the transformation in real time, like some kind of tragicomedy directed by an unholy alliance of Woody Allen and Stanley Kubrick (depending on your point of view).

About Shpitzig, the author of these words: nothing.
