The fear of kites does not come from any personal experience, though I did see a Youtube video where I guy got mowed down by a rather large kite. The thing was diving fast and the impact looked pretty painful actually.
I didn’t like the dark very much when I was younger, but now I can’t sleep if there’s any light anywhere. A crack of street light coming through the blinds will drive me nuts.

Today’s vote incentive is Toster without the cone, because she really does have a cute little face :)

    *snorts* Some of Crack’s fears aren’t all that far fetched. I’d be scared too if I came around a corner to find my self face to face with Gay looking like that!

  2. Panda

    I love that being “buried alive” is considered /mundane/ with Evil around.

    Also Crack with a shower cap on is strangely adorable.

  3. Tatsu

    Voice: Never gonna give you up….
    Crack Bear: Why won’t the voices leave me alone?! *runs out of room*
    Radio: That was Rick Astley’s…

  4. W.E.R.

    Who wouldn’t be scared of Gay if he looked like that?

  5. felixmarcus

    Don’t feel bad, Crack Bear; I still need a nightlight too!

  6. TYRONE

    That Crack, he really cracks me up! looks like he never closes his eyes! I’d be strung out too if I never got any sleep! Even though *looks at Crack’s tummy symbol*he might be suffering from withdraw,lack of,too much of,or mabe he has diabeatese? His facial expressions are fantastic! The tail,eyes,ears and muzzle,he’s just an awsome bear! Ooooh! Ok , Toaster is your pet cat’s name! Does she resemble the cat in the icon? Black cat’s are cool! I have four shepherds. 2 of them are almost solid black! Why am I seeing 8 twin shepherds!? It’s time I go to sleep!

  7. Peter!

    Yay!! Finally a story about Crack. I love that he is scared of everything. And usually yelling about something.

  8. TYRONE

    Get well soon TOASTER! It’s scary when a pet or someone close to you gets sick! Gives you that “cracking up” sensation!

  9. BN Fan

    Ohhh Panphobia, perhaps? XD If I remember correctly that’s ‘fear of everything’.
    Aww ‘Most were tired of coddling him’ … I’d think Gimpy would be the last to mind it. He’s usually the ‘aww-c’mere-and-gimmie-a-hug-till-you-feel-better’ bear =P

  10. kristen

    I almost died when I read panel two. “help, I’m drowning” and he’s standing still. that’s awesomely HILARIOUS!!! I’m glad we get to see a crack arc.

  11. Squeakybunny

    I wonder if glogophobia is one of them? I can imagine Evil tying a balloon to Crack’s tail. >;}

  12. Squeakybunny

    Erf. Globophobia! Coffee first, typing second.

  13. RBN

    To be fair, those corncobs would scare me a bit too… who knows where they’ve been before they were cooked?

  14. taytaylalala

    awww, panic attacks suck. :(
    lol.

  15. Glowworm

    Some of these fears seem highly understandable-but corn on the cob?

    I love the panel where Evil is going to bury Crack!

  16. Kenichi340

    Woohoo! A Crack Bear arc!

    Haha, Evil never gives anyone a break from his evilness huh? XD

  17. Amaranth Pink

    The ‘I’M DROWNING’ part put it over the edge.

    Gimp’s just like ‘._.’

  18. darkfire

    Awww the “I’m drowning” part makes the page. I just want to hug him.

    To be fair, if a bear in a gimp mask offered me a corn on a cob, I’d be scared too.

  19. Squival

    Hey just recently came across this, after reading through the whole archive I just gotta say I love this comic, the characters are all well funny the art itself is brilliant and the script and story writing is just loads of fun.
    This comic has gone straight into my favourites.
    Also nice one for updating twice a week :D

    Back on topic, I feel kinda sorry for Crack Bear (despite the high comedy factor) but it’s nice to see Gimpy bear making an effort to make him feel better ^^

  20. Heart of Blades

    Alright! A chapter all about the lovably freaked out and paranoid Crack Bear. “Help! I’m drowning.” Priceless!

  21. Tiani

    The corn cobs made me howl out laughing.
    Looks like Crack Bears’ seen a part of a yaoi where corn on the cob and burbon is used to punish a rapist… think it can make men in general relatively nervous.
    Have yet to find my favourite bear though. They’re all equally cool.
    Great work. Can’t wait for the next page.

  22. TYRONE

    Crack bear and Curage the cowardly dog would make a great team! Or not! Looks like Evil was completely fed up with
    that time. I wonder how did he get Crack in that box?! Crack probably sheds a lot fur out of pure stress. Nice green coat of fur.
    He’s physicaly fit and looks like he still eats whenever he can. Run! Run for your life! He who runs away lives to see another day! Unbuttered and unseasoned corn, YIKES!

  23. TYRONE

    I MENT “Looks like Evil was completely fed up with Crack”

  24. LesPaulGuy

    I know where you are comig from with the dark and the streetlight. there is one just outside my room and I hate it more than Gay likes guy bears.

  25. Evil2.0

    I’ve been waititng for this.
    First of all, the I’m drowning part is just plain funny, I see a lack of water in the tub though.
    I love the whole Evil part where he’s sick of listening to Crack and is trying to remedy said situation by burrying Crack so far down until it’s silent.
    Love Gay, simply love him. But shoulnd’t he be doing that before bed, adn not walking around without sight…also ( why adn who is he working so hard for?)
    At least Gimps trying.

    Woo am dying to see the rest.

  26. RagingDragon

    … There’s something wrong with that bear… O.O;

  27. Lax

    Yikes! That water cap in the 2nd panel looks like his brain :D

  28. Kamino Neko

    @Squeakybunny - What about people who are afraid of globes? Is their phobia nameless because the balloon people scooped it up?

  29. Squeakybunny

    They are probably too afraid to say it.

  30. Kenichi340

    I’ve read this comic three times now and I feel like this comic could use a bear who’s into fighting, constantly training and trying to find a challenge. I can see him getting on Lech’s and Evil’s nerves and provoke a lot of humorous shenanigans (Probably forming a rivalry with either one of them in the process). XD

  31. WintermuteNight

    Just saw picture of Toaster without cone. The cuteness is overwhelming me. You should have one of the bears adopt a kitten and have them all love it (Evil secretly, of course)

  32. £Ø§Ð

    Not to be rude Or Anything. It kinduv look’s like you Tried t make Crack Look Cute in the Intro there. His Big Eyes Make Him Look Cute. But his Mouth has a Look of Dispare.

  33. Colleen Sheehy

    Crack sounds alot like my son the schizo…Just goes to show how drugs mess up the mind! Your cat is a real cutie - glad the kitty is feeling better.

  34. Lazer

    Strangely enough, a phobia of kites is not the weirdest of phobias I’ve seen of. I actually had a friend who was deathly afraid of fake plants and my brother has a phobia of shirt buttons. ;P I also have a mild phobia of the color orange. DX

  35. Dorks of hazzard

    OH MY GOD HE DID IT AGAIN! What happens to the other bear Lech bear he came out of the box people were laughing and then it ends. That feels like a cliff hanger to me please try to finish it or make it feel finish im not angry im just banging head of key bored dfuyhdfuifgdfj hifhuflrgeuifgbjfdjk tufgtedfbjgbjk

    @ Squeakybunny: Globophobia sounds like a good one, there’s lots of kids with balloons at a zoo :)
    @ darkfire: good observation, I agree!
    @ Squival: Hi and welcome to BN, thanks for the nice comment :D
    @ Tiani: uh… I don’t want to know!
    @ Lazer: shirt buttons?? How does that manifest? Fake plants are kinda creepy though.
    @ Dorks of Hazzard: Not sure where you’re coming from… most of these arcs are basically short little comics that I try to end on a funny note in some way. There will not always be a clear wrapping up of everything, perhaps because I want to continue whatever it was in another arc (like for instance in this arc, Lech is still coned).

  37. amy

    I love this comic, and adorable Crack, but I wish you had pushed the other storyline further. It seemed like the starting point for something more.

    Oh well, I ’spose. Thanks for the strips. :)

  38. iggy

    awww poor crack, i know how bad phobias can be, at least hes not afraid of people like i am lol

  39. Squeakybunny

    admin, could you imagine Crack trying to run away from something with a silly face and big ears that is tied to his behind? >BEG< (I know it’s been done before in cartoons, but it is still funny)

  40. Jeremy Kuehnau

    There is a fear for almost everything. It is never unheard of. I took a PSYCH class in high school and basically got a book with definitions for every single possible fear you could ever imagine. Could you just think about it? Being a man and having a fear of penises?

  41. mugiwara

    I wouldn’t want corn from Leather Bear either. God knows where he put it before.

  42. Eptha

    I’m not sure what this is all about, but it had me giggling.

  43. Leak

    @Squeakybunny: A Mickey Mouse clown tied to him? Who wouldn’t be freaked out by that? o_O

    np: Can - She Brings The Rain (Anthology (Disc 1))

  44. CyberCorn Entropic

    Poor Cracked. He’s perpetually cracking up.

  45. atomic_chew

    I think I relate most to Crack (besides the crack part)… I have all of those fears (except the one about corn cobs, wtf?). This made my day, thank you :D
    Oh, and no worries Crack, I still have my nightlights too :]

  46. Nastee

    Yeah! My favorite finally gets his own story arc! Thank you, Allison! :D

  47. Rukisa

    Crack is probably one of my favorites, next to Tanked. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us! :)

  48. Wolfen

    I am really suprised that Crack has not had a heart attack yet. His blood pressure must me AMAZING!

  49. Dementron

    GENTLEMEN… I bring you… MORE CORN!

  50. J-Face

    I knew a guy once that was phobic of wet wooden spoons and the fuzz on peaches.

    But then again I’m not one to talk as I’m terrified of claymation.

  51. Who I am is my busness, staying out of my way is yours

    What was Prozac doing with a kite anyway?

  52. superpandabear?

    i love crack!!!! ? hes so cute and reminds me of myself!!! ? lol im so paraniod!!!!

  53. RAWRIMADUCKY

    Corn?

  54. Esproc

    *In Dr. Weird voice* Gentlemen! I give you, CORN!

  55. Mara

    I love that being buried in a box is “mundane and common.” Hehe. So great.

  56. Akimaman86

    this is just priceless and I actually saw that youtube video it was hilarious BTW any body reading this that means you Jack (just did that to freak people out) go to smackjeeves.com that place has so many webcomics its not even funny……….well maybe a little

  57. Oscar

    I’ve a theory on the fear of kites. In Pakistan and Afghanistan I know kids had kite flying competitions where they’d rub powdered glass onto their kite strings and cut eachothers kites down from the sky. That made for some nasty injuries if people weren’t careful so maybe Crack Bear’s fear stems from knowledge of that. Or maybe he’s got the perfectly healthy normal fear of being strangled to death from the too long and menacing string.

  58. Crypt

    Amazing
