Honestly, I wrote a whole blog and lost it. It is now 5:17 am and I don’t have it in me to write another one because I need to sleep for a few hours. So… enjoy the page and I’ll see you back here on Wednesday.
I do want to warn you that we will be taking a break the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. No update Wednesday or Friday that week, I wanted to give the colorists a breather, and I will be visiting family. You can spend that time playing with all your new Christmas toys.
Alright, happy Friday!
Ethan
Not ninja bacon hipster! I love how intense things are getting.
Yeah, it’s probably best not to get too attached to the background characters. This ain’t My Little Pony.
Peace=Nine, if you ever see this msg. Wondering what manga\comic etc your picture is from, if any.
Have I told you I love this comic? Because I love this comic.
I really wonder how long Gogs is going to make it with that attitude. I mean, assuming anybody makes it more than two more pages.
Why did the hipster get eaten by a bear?
Meh, this joke doesn’t get a punchline…
That bear was having a hipster buffet before anyone heard it.
Notice the bear only ate the throat before he moved one. That’s a waste of a perfectly good hipster!
When food is very plentiful, bears tend to be very selective in their eating… focusing on eating only the choice bits and then moving on to the next, rather than filling up by eating the entire thing. This is important because bears need to eat insane amounts of calories in the fall and spring. So during salmon runs they’ll just eat the fatty parts and leave piles of perfectly good meat for the birds.
Other possibilities… He didn’t want to fill up before he sampled other favors such as the goth hipster, weird hat hipster and the irate chick in a beanie hipster. Or Topatoco guy simply didn’t taste very good.
Having different numerous different “flavors” chained to trees would definitely constitute “When food is plentiful”.
The bear was after the bacon on his t-shirt.
I was getting slaughtered by bears before it was cool.
I used to get mauled by bears . . . then I took an arrow to the knee.
very nice, i lol’ed
Let me guess, bear. Someone stole your sweetroll.
(Well, that would seem adequate justification for a murderous rampage to me… sweetrolls are nommy!)
Like Donkey Kong. 🙂
I don’t know how its possible but I love Bearmageddon even more than I love Axe Cop! Those months of exposition really made me care for these characters and now I’m actually really scared for them. Things got intense fast.
+1, the whole thing just wouldn’t work as well as it does without the earlier non-bear-related part. I mean, we all know an engine and some wings are the things that make an airplane fly – but without a tail to keep it in balance it just wouldn’t work, isn’t it?
The facial expressions are great on this page. Nice work, as usual!
Especially on the bear! That’s a great looking bear, right there.
I predict Nigel craps his pants and that’s how they get the key back.
RIP Hipster George Lucas (1944-2011)
Hey, is it just me, or is the length of Joel’s head increasing with every page?
Yes, Burton, he’s fine. Go back to sleep.
The kill count is officially at six!
1 Security Guard, 2 Loggers, 1 Flute Cop, 1 Hippie, & 1 Hipster
Re: Kill count
Are we sure the hipster is dead? He might be just… um… resting… in a pool of his own blood… and intestines…
Ethan, homey, you should write your blogs in a word processor then copy and paste them into your browser.
Also, this comic is totally awesome. I love it so much.
Also, I totally know how they’re gonna get the key back.
Will it fall out of a bear’s greedy mouth?
I guess those bear baiting lessons didn’t pay off…
Awww, it just wanted a hug…with it’s teeth.
Short of Nigel’s guts being ripped open and someone miraculously finding the key AFTER the bear has become bored and goes away, I cannot imagine how anyone will survive this.
Unless, of course, they are all still asleep, and this is just some crazy dream?
Or, I suppose that they could be saved by a third party.
Or Joel could kick the bear’s nose into its brain.
Joel could manage to hook Nigel’s intestine which will be conveniently left tracking close by his foot, then pull it towards him feeling for the key until he finds it. That way nobody has to do anything so unpleasant as to feel around in Nigel’s poop.
positively terrifying.. I love it.
I need to remember this the next time I draw a bear.. black lips, purple tongue. that makes it all the more creepy.
seems to me right now the chains are probably loosened so MAYBE they could escape.
Yes, Burton, that guy is okay–he’s just a little bit dead now.
a wild ursaring appears!
go hipster!!
ursaring used crunch!!
its super effective!!
3 pages from now: super explodey van…
Naw. My prediction: A gorilla will suddenly BURST through the underbrush, and it and the bear will wrestle and fight for the remainder of the comic (possibly indefinitely, as long as Ethan’s wrist holds out!).
This was foreshadowed earlier, on pages 4-5! ^-^
Sooooo…where is Joel’s right thumb in the last panel?
in the shadows duh
I thought it was under the chains
I wrote you a poem:
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction bears
Is also great
And would be awesome.
Really? Kick it in the nose? Gogs, you give the best advice ever. That’s an excellent way to have your foot get eaten.
Man… this is getting intense… there’d better be some key pooping happening soon. And that’s a sentence I never thought I’d write.
I like the way the Bear Steadies topotaco guy’s head and torso with his paws, just to make sure his throat doesn’t go anywhere
ONE KICK! Gogs is hilarious. And I’m ready to see the badass who comes along to save these dudes.
Ethan,
if you’re a Firefox user and lost your blog post to a crash – do install the “Lazarus” extension. It’s neat, unintrusive and can save you great headaches.
Thanks for being an awesome comit artist.
HOLY FUCK! That dude totally got knocked the fuck out by that bear!
That is all….
The bear is drawn and colored beautifully — murderously beautifully.
