Aright, here is your new page! For those of you who showed up at the regular 9am, I apologize it was not posted on time. I hate missing deadlines, even the ones I set for myself. I am in Oregon right now at my mom’s house, sick as a dog. The moment I decided to go on a two week vacation I got sick and on the way here I had a blow out, then I found out that the last person I let use my laptop gave it a virus. Noah was late getting me the colored page, and by the time he had it done I was asleep.
Other than that I am doing great. Sorry for the short blog, but I feel like total crud. Until next time…
Ethan
Wow. Well at least he’s not chained to the tree anymore. And I imagine Andrea can get out now with the extra slack.
This is scary, but I highly doubt Joel will die, being the protagonist and all. And having all that character development.
Looking great even though you’re doing it from your sick bed…. Get well soon! 🙂
Awesome action shots. I got all concerned and shit.
Oh….every page of this comics gets better. Thanks for working thought the pain and getting it posted!
Where’s Besser when you need him?
Probably busy getting around the massive wreck of two semis and a pickup a few miles down the road.
Don’t worry, that’s what RSS is for. If it weren’t for your post about being late I wouldn’t even know.
I thought the first panel was funny, but then there’s the third one… It’s hard to decide which one is funnier. I love this comic. Keep up the good work and I hope you get well soon!
Oh man. Now it’s getting good! Hopefully the bear isn’t hungry after having eaten already…
Hope you feel better! Merry Christmas!
Aww you should of used ‘Yoink!’
Agreed. “Yoink” is sadly underutilized for these sound effects. 🙁
Aw man, now Joel’s going to have to get some new shoes! Major bummer, dude.
Man, that is a massive bear.
I’m hoping that Joel survives, and if he does, he doesn’t get fitted for a peg-leg.
Ethan, I hope you are feeling better and Merry Christmas to all.
Hope you feel better, great page!
Oh no!
Okay… I’m just going to assume that “blow out” is referring to your tire and not a stomach virus and get on with my day. Please don’t spoil that for me. Thanks!
Oh, and great webcomic all around! Thanks for this too!
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Actions seen here are preformed by trained cartoon characters in a controlled environment. Slapping bears is not recommended by any medical team. May result in serious harm or permanent death.
Oh man! PERMANENT death? Bad news.
Even if you have a high-level cleric with diamonds standing by?
Well, the problem with this is that the bear is quite likely to sunder your body and eat several important organs. You don’t want to be brought back minus a liver, half a stomach and less twenty feet of intestine now, do you? You wouldn’t last long, Cure Critical Wounds or no.
Maybe a very timely Regeneration spell.
Well at least they tried.
Hrm. I love this comic, but I do find Andrea’s apparent “damsel in distress” personality a little grating.
What?!? 1) Everybody is terrified. 2) She is the first person to hit a bear!
What actions on her part would satisfy you?!?
I get the damsel vibe from her, too. I’m glad she has taken some action on her own, and I hope that she’ll continue to move away from the cliche, but I definitely see what the other poster was talking about.
She freaks out much more and much louder than anyone else over the dead body, even the people chained up next to it. She takes to clinging to Joel and deferring to him almost instantly. Even though she just met him a few hours ago, she seems to have cozied up to the idea of being his distressed love interest very quickly.
Don’t get me wrong! I love the comic so far. The characters are awesome, the build up has been excellent, and the art is amazing. Andrea just hasn’t really done anything for me as of yet.
I’m betting Joel put his arms around her first.
I don’t know. My respect for her went up about 20 points when she smacked that bear in the face.
SHIT JUST GOT REAL!
Oh my god!! Nobody could have expected that! I have a new fondness for Andrea. <3
Ethan- I don’t think I have words to describe how awesome this page is– the suspense, the humor, the action…
Andrea and Joel are officially the most badass characters in the story now.
Andrea: …What did the five fingers say to the face?
Bear: I don’t know
More evidence that the cold & flu season is BRUTAL this year.
Get well soon, Ethan.
Oregon… fuck yeah
Aaaand Joel’s dead.. seriously I’ll be really interested to see how he manages to get out of this mess with both feet.. seems… unlikely
He’s not dead, just being taken to the Queen Bear’s nest for questioning.
ok i doubt this will actually happen but supposing that the bear bites off Joel’s foot, might that lead him to the type who might replace body parts… ie: the creepy doctor who builds the minigun bears etc.
not likely, but might help link Joel to the origins of the augmented bears which i assume are going to turn up at some point….. just a thought
I hope you get well soon. I also hope, since I’m also in Oregon, that I don’t come close enough to catch whatever you’ve got until you DO get well (much as I’d love to meet you). 😉
I’m assuming Joel simply gets flung across the clearing. If the bear was trying to bite his foot off, he could have easily done it without yanking him out of the chains. What happens after that…I can’t wait to see. Our protagonists have to catch a break in here somewhere, or this will be a very short story.
FIRST FRONTAL NUDITY!
Fun Fact!: Joel’s nipples are the same color as his tanned arms.
Whoah–well now we know that kicking a bear in the nose does not work.
If they could slide out of the chains like that, why didn’t they earlier? Even if it resulted in some scrapes… Sorry. Just overthinking everything today.
Feel better! Being sick around holidays sucks. I had a sore throat all weekend and between my little brother’s birthday party, the end of school, and general festiveness, it was largely not fun.
Because bears can pull harder than people can push.
Have a good vacation and get well soon, Ethan.
It is hard to do, but you just generated a Bearmageddon page that made me laugh harder than your most recent Axe Cop – The Dogs page. Thank you.
I think that the sudden loss of Topatoco Guy’s internal organs might have given the chain more slack. Still looks like it woulda hurt.
Best page so far, had an embarrassing chuckle at my desk when I read the “Nose into the brain” panel.
Just awesome Ethan, maybe you should work while sick more often ;)?
That chest and abs shot….for the ladies. You’re welcome.
Now that the action is getting intense it is so hard to wait for the next page!! Hope you and your computer both feel better soon!
that could not have been comfy getting yourself yanked out from between tight chains and rough tree bark… by the ankle no less. probably the least of his worries though….
I wonder…. will they ever meet doctor medved from the third panel?
I meant page.
Gee, things are bad enough when you put your foot into your own mouth but ………..
I am down with the octo-bear, but the bat-bear is really where it’s at.
Also having the main characters leg ripped off at the begining would be kind of cool. But I would have it be his arm… then when they find the secret bear-science facility, his missing arms could be replaced with nuclear bear arms.
I assume they would be nuclear because science would be involved.
NOSE INTO THE BRAIN! 😀
