BEARNOCEROS – (Vol. 2, Page 90)
I hate to say this on such an epic page…
This will be the last Bearmageddon page for the summer. I need to take a break on it.
I got that epidural shot in my neck that was supposed to help things out with my bulging disc and it really didn’t work. My neck is in bad shape and drawing has become pretty painful. My main source of income at the moment is a five-issue series I am drawing and I don’t get paid if I don’t finish each issue. That’s 100 pages I need to draw on a bad neck. I just can’t do Bearmageddon on top of that. So I have to prioritize that project and my BEARS WANT TO KILL YOU book as much as I can right now.
Thanks for your patience through this frustrating time. For praying types, please pray for my neck, and for work. We’re scraping our savings at the moment and when this comic project ends I have no prospects.
This may sound dire, but it’s normal life. I’m happy, I love my life, I’m not scared. It’s just how things go. Every day I paid my bills and did what I love, I’m grateful. Thanks in part to my Patrons, Kickstarter backers, and anyone who has bought anything from my store. Times like these are what light fire under your butt to change things up and new opportunities often arise out of that. I welcome it. Thanks for keeping up with me and my work.

Ethan, prayers for you from a brazilian fan!
thank you, brother!
I’ll be praying for you Ethan.
Thanks Joe!
God Bless you and yours, Ethan. Take it easy.
I’m a chiropractor, and I treat cervical disc problems all the time. I recommend finding a chiropractor who can train you in McKenzie cervical extensions, like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY3s2Y1dTck
That exercise has helped so many of my patients recover from chronic neck, shoulder, and arm pain.
Thanks, my neck is bad enough that doing that exercise totally hurts and sets off my nerve all down my arm. So I think I have to work my way in that direction. What should I look for in a chiropractor? I have been to one and I was not incredibly impressed After a couple months I quit. I was going in 2-3 times a week and experiencing no improvement.
If you do decide to go the chiropractor route, make sure to do a lot of research into the chiropractor you’re thinking of seeing. There are plenty of well educated, talented chiropractors out there, but there are also a lot of chiropractors who are more akin to snake oil salesmen or even cultists. A close friend got swindled by one of the seedier chiropractors who led him to believe his problem was not as severe as it was, and instead of seeing an actual doctor and receiving proper medical treatment, he wound up permanently wheel chair bound after the chiropractor’s overly rough “treatment” aggravated his issue beyond what the chiropractor could fix. Had he gotten proper medical care, instead of trusting someone working outside of their skill set, he’d still be walking today. Not all chiropractors work this way, and I’ve been helped immensely by the one I once regularly visited, but there are quite a few who are to back pain what holistic “medicine” is to cancer. Beware! I hope your problems are getting the proper treatment and you are doing well! Looking forward to your future creative output!
And your sound effects are of Don Martin caliber!
I appreciate this, thanks 😀
Ethan, que toute douleur et tout mal dont tu souffres soit chassée dans le nom de Jésus.
May the Lord give you his rest and the Spirit of Life heal all your afflictions. You already live in peace and happiness, may he grant you the gifts of wisdom and strenght to face the changes to come.
Thank you, Charles.
Ethan,
I am sure I speak for us all when I say that, as awesome as Bearmageddon is (and it IS stupendously awesome), and as much as we all LOVE IT (and we do), your health is many orders of magnitude more important!
Please rest, heal up, and we will all look forward to your triumphant return!
Thanks so much, Vic!
I’ll second Vic’s words.
Thank you
Necks are important! I hope you heal quickly and completely.
Hope you feel better, man.
Yes epic page, but your neck sounds like it needs epic care. Best of luck finding some that works, so you can keep doing what you love without terrific pain. We’ll be here! <3
