I continue to be sick as a dog. Spent the big bucks and went to Urgent Care today and got medicine so hopefully I am not too much of wreck at Wonder Con this weekend. I will be in Artist’s Alley at table AA-123. Come say hello and buy something to put the miserly side of me that resents the $90 fee for urgent care at ease. Look for the awesome new banner I bought with Axe Cop and Bearmageddon on it that I wasn’t quite so miserly about. It was time for me to get one of those cool banners everyone else has. Plus I can write it off, unlike pills that make me not die.
As part of being wretchedly ill, I actually made the very self controlled decision to get in bed at 11:30 tonight. At that time Noah had not turned in the color page to me. I decided I would set me alarm and post in the morning. Knowing I have been having trouble sleeping because of my insane cough, I popped two sleep-aid pills AND two Niquil. Nothing. It is now 2am and I am wide awake. So I decided to get up and post so I wouldn’t have to wake up to my alarm, and Noah, just as I typed this, turned in the page. Perfect timing. I nearly posted the black and white.
Anyway, that’s about as exciting a story as I can give you right now. I think I am going to try to sleep again. Wish me luck, and hopefully I meet some of you this weekend. Don’t be one of those shy weirdos who doesn’t introduce themsevles then posts “I was one foot from you at the con but I didn’t say hi. I didn’t want to bother you.” Just say hi. That is what I am there for. I’m nice. If I don’t seem nice, I may be preoccupied, but that’s not the same thing as being mean.
Alright sleep. Let’s do this!!

Fridays are even better! Fat people can be vegan, but they probably haven’t been vegan for very long. I’ve been a vegetarian for 13 years but living in Wisconsin, I’ve had enough beer and cheese to maintain a healthy weight.
Stop rubbing in Wonder con, come to the UK already! PLEASE!
I’d come to the UK in an instant of a UK con would have me as a guest. Seems like my UK fan base is pretty strong, I keep hoping it will happen.
Being sick suuuucks. Drink a whole bunch of water. My mom always told us to “drink water so you’ll pee out the germs!”
Seems like Killdeer will get some epic gas later in the series.
It would be pretty cool to see him kill a bear with a fart.
Yay! Killdeer is back! He has just become my favorite character (right after the bears), and I hope we get to find out more about him very soon.
By the way, where is his axe and bow?
he ATE them!
Oh SNAP! Bear action on Dr. McNinja this week as well! Perhaps another Hastings/Nicolle crossover in the works?

Maybe now Dickinson will get to talk, if only briefly to tell Nigel about what REAL outdoors survival is.
Oh Nigel, like you have any right to chime in on staying quiet after Wednesday’s strip XD
Sorry for being a weirdo ^^;
At least I’m going to SDCC again this year, so maybe I’ll have the chance to try again?
I would think protecting one of the two most important assets to the axecop, and THE most important asset to the bearmageddon franchise, (YOU- no, not the reader, I mean Ethan… unless the reader of this comment IS Ethan!) should warrant a write-off! Maybe you can claim being alive as an essential influence to the creative process and thus a deductible?
Oh, who am I kidding? Hedge fund managers deserve all their profit more!
Oh, lord: politics! Can I flag my own response? Get it, and the user permanently removed from commenting?
You have the best footer on a web page that I’ve seen in a long time.
Aw don’t call the poor shy folks “weirdos.” Recently, I went to the Dallas Sci Fi Expo, and Adam Baldwin (Jayne of Firefly fame) made a surprise visit. Since it was early and hardly anyone was there, I seized my chance to meet him. I resolved to just say hello, let him know I was a fan, and move on… but he wanted to talk and I had no idea what to say, so I stood there parroting his own conversation like a starstruck idiot. Maybe you got star power, Ethan 😉
HOLY HELL IT’S ANIMAL MOTHER!
That’s pretty much what I would’ve said.
And on top of that, my gravatar (whatever the frig that is) appears to be a dude flipping the bird. That’s just… awesome. Fantastic. My apologies.
Have those bear paws and bullets been there forevetr and I’m just really unobservant?
I have a chubby friend who’s a vegetarian too.
First, when the van was tipped over two pages ago, I thought that the driver’s side view mirror was a goner, which would have decrease the vehicle’s bear detection capabilities by a small amount. Thus I am glad to see that it is, in fact, a-o-k!
Second, I have been feeling pretty sorry for Burton ever since he discovered that his pot was missing several pages ago . . .
Third, I like to imagine that Killdeer heard the explosion, figured that some humans had just died, and that he should scavenge their remains for food. Plus he now has an awesome chain with which he can bullwhip bears in twain!
The mirror is really sturdy, although I’m not sure that the van is going anywhere any time soon, or at least not far.
Then I guess they could use the chains to hitch the van to Killdeer, and he could tow them out . . .
If your unreimbursed medical expenses are above 7.5 of your adjusted gross income, you could write them off! But that is usually thousands of dollars, so, probably not. Feel better! And know that $90 is pretty good for Urgent Care.
Should have offered to pay in artwork, or maybe bearacature spots.
Haha, I know that smell.. the smell of a person that hasn’t seen protein in weeks and their body’s cannibalizing their muscles..
Actually, there’s a large number of foods that are not animal-based that contain protein. In fact, people should be getting protein from non-animal sources anyways because animals lack certain amino acids that people need.
If ur sick i recomend eating as much garlic as possible. It will give you rancid garlic breath, but smash those germs like Deerkiller cleaving a bear skull.
It is possible to OD on garlic though, careful. Too much alicin-derivative in your blood leads to stomach ulcers, bronchial asthma, anemia, vertigo, and suppression of testicular functions.
Most people get sick of it before that point, but my mom once just sat in bed popping cloves like candy and got sick as a dog from it.
Also make sure you don’t have any vampires in your family tree stretching back to the great grandparents on both sides.
I never quite saw Dickie as the type to eat hummus, raw meat and possibly tree bark yes, hummus no.
When you live in the woods, being picky isn’t an option.
he had a perfectly good bear carcass
He was still hungry.
He probably didn’t eat the bear. Dickinson doesn’t want to get the trichinosis.
I hope you recover soon! May Saint Blaise, patron of ailments of the throat (as well as wild animals) intercede for you.
I love hummus, but only if the chips are good.
Looks like a butting romance between Keller and Gogs. Er, I mean budding. Okay, no I don’t. She has the vapors for him.
New scientific discovery’s in the terrifying world of Bear Science!
BEARS HEAL WOUNDS WHEN THEY SLEEP!
Or really more when they hibernate. But still, scary.

I dig Burton’s 1000-yard stare.
Hehe, “What smells?”
Nothing like a TCM reference every now and then, eh?
