Things are getting messy here in Bearmageddon land. We will do our best to track all these blood stains and stuff, but please be understanding and forgiving if you see a character with blood splatters in one place in one panel, and in another place in a another panel. I know you guys, you are very attentive to detail. Me, I try, but I’m not like that. Sometimes it hurts me, sometimes it helps me. Let’s just figure a lot of things can happen between panels. Wardrobe changes. Blood stains traversing garments. Stuff just happens. It’s mysterious science.
I hope you have enjoyed another few seconds of this harrowing fight between bear-mole, man and lawnmower. See you next week!
Ethan
I love the idea of fighting a large angry mutant bear with a lawnmower.
Yeah, but someone needs to come behind them with a weed eater to finish the job.
That does not look fun. Not one bit.
Also, whatever happened to Dickinson’s axe? Did they lose it in the river?
Dear God I love this comic.
You should change the title to “The Mole You Know”
The Mole you Mow?
That…is some good sound effect invention. Gross, but accurate.
Bearmole: 6.022 x 10 to the 23rd power amount of bears.
If our heroes were fighting THAT kind of bearmole, they would need a bigger lawnmower…
…a much BIGGER lawnmower!
sorry, just my science geek showing!
…and now, back to our regularly scheduled program!!!
The author of XKCD tackled the question of what would happen if you had a mole of moles here:

We can only presume a mole of bearmoles would be much, much worse.
Where’s a can of hair spray and a lighter when you need them?
Maybe these would help.

Jesu Marimba, I’m starting to feel sorry for the bear. Quick, give me some more scenes of bears slaughtering innocents and marching in armies against the laws of nature, so I remember they’re the bad guys!
Oh lord, it is the flying bear-mole-nose-tendril things in the first panel that absolutely make this. So brutal. So awesome.
This is comic is gonna get messy, innit? Like, ‘intestines-hung-like-garlands’ messy?
*munches popcorn and wonders what’s wrong with him*
Did you miss page 36 and the ensuing “we have to chop our fellow human in half to ecape” fun?
Nay, I missed neither that nor page 22’s finish. Ethan’s keeping the full threat of what’s going on excellently paced (think about how much noise it must have made, for page 22’s end scene to have.. well, ended up that way. Think also about the fact that this was being seen by us in broad daylight. Creepy implications!), but, I look at th epace of what happening, and I keep remembering that what Ethan has labeled as “the beginnning”…is likely still what we’re reading. There’s much, MUCH more to come, is what the comic so far tells me. Ooh, and you’ve jogged an idea for me. The pace at which the bears’ tactics have moved (including but not limited to escalation) speaks of modern day human-level warfar tactics. Hmmm.
I love how the characters are progressing, especially Keller. Looking back through the archives, these people have been through a LOT. It’s no wonder they’re ok running at a bear with a lawn mower.
I love this comic.
The more you mow… The neater your lawn.
Your bearlawn, that is. After you are done, you can kick back and relax on your lawn-bear, open a twelve pack of bears, and watch the bearrows sing in the bearcalyptus tree in your bearyard.
Life in the Bearscape is good.
