Page 100

I had a chat at a convention once with a little kid who decided that Dooom should have blue lightning power, because apparently that’s the best kind of lightning power.  As I still haven’t gotten around to a Dooomcat comic, I figured Death could wield the blue lightning for the time being.  I imagine his power as the same feeling I get when my car door shocks me every time I get out of it-magnified 50 times or so.  Or perhaps a taser would be the better analogy: “A Taser is an electroshock weapon that uses Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology to cause neuromuscular incapacitation, (NMI) and strong muscle contractions through the involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves.”  Ouch.

And page 100- woohoo!

Today’s vote incentive is the rough pencils for this page.  If you care to get an idea of my process, I always use a red or blue pencil (the brand is called Col-Erase, the typical animation pencil) as they’re easy to ink right over and once the line art is scanned into Photoshop, PS gives you the option of erasing all blues or reds, making clean up a breeze.

    ‘Word’ ? XD That’s funny just because it’s something you wouldn’t think he’d say. And Nerd does deserve to enjoy this… but maybe he’s goin a bit too far lol. (The guy just got tazered in the eye. IN THE EYE.)

  2. Heart of Blades

    Page 100! Party! And what a great page it was. Loved Nerd’s insult. Mush-brained ditch pig, lol, pricless.

  3. Marshmeloo

    Anniversary! I’m breakin’ out the Tanked face all day. Wish me luck on the stairs!

  4. TaishiOujo

    Woot. Loved it. Particularly where Nerd looks like he’s gonna take a bite outta someone in the second to last, and third to last panel. And.. now noticing the gap between his teeth, I feel he should have braces. Lol.

  5. In love with Bearnuts

    i can’t tell you how much i love this comic. I associate very well with Evil and Gay. but love the other characters just as much. I’m glad to see that Death is making more of an appearance. I like the strong silent type.
    Keep up the beautiful work, i know your child will have a great upbringing having parents with an awesome outlook on humor.
    BRAVO and happy 100th page

    Hell hath no fury like Nerd PO’d

    Congratulations on you 100 page! :) Nerd is such a Nerd! It’s good to see Death is looking out the little guys. Nerd is enjoying Evil’s punishment a little too much! Evil has that “I know i’ve been bad and I heard all this lecture crap before!” look!

  8. Heather

    Congrats on 100 pages officially :D I’ve been following Bear Nuts for some time and I was just waiting for this hehe. Get to see some of Death bear’s powers :D

  9. Los

    I am so subscribing to this in RSS. Only thing I don’t like about this strip is that its not older so I’d have more backstory to read!

  10. Kylie Ann

    Mush-Brained Ditch Pig - best insult EVER! But I think Prozac is getting a teensy bit annoyed with Nerd.

    We all know Evil will only listen to Prozac and Death, so whatever Nerd has to say is gonna go in one ear and out the other.

    And is it just me, or does Death look a little puzzled in panel 2. Did he do it deliberately, or did Evil just walk into him?

  11. gezza

    hey i love this comic so i tried to do a comic strip but it failed.
    i was going to send you the picture

  12. Yai

    Rofl! Word. I loved Death for stopping Evil. <3

  13. Yai

    Oh, also, Happy 100 pages!

  14. SEA

    Yay 100! :)

    Poor evil, he can’t have any fun. :p

  15. Somi

    yey, happy 100th page! :D
    this one is huge! my favourite Evil-face is in the last panel, i guess its the answer of the question “what’s wrong with you?”. well: “nothing.”
    is Death a bit surprised in the second panel? its because of Nerd or he didnt know what would happen if he touch Evil?

  16. miggz505

    woooo!!

    long time reader, first time poster!

    happy 100th strip!

    I’m relieved that Death didn’t kill Evil!
    Bear Nuts will never be the same if Evil is gone.

  17. ChibiEmiAlvi

    Aww man, Nerd reminds me to moi when I was a child… Always taking advantage in a ridiculous way. xD

    Nice page as always! I love Evil’s expression on the panel where Nerd insults him~

    … I think I just noticed that Death has a darker color than the other bears in his nose. o,o

  18. rio-chan

    I just found this and read it all in one go because it’s AMAZING and wins at life. These are the cutest, most messed-up bears ever. I love them all!

  19. Lynny

    “Mush-brained ditch pig”. Oh Alison, you rock.

  20. Squival

    Congratz! On the 100th page :)
    Hehe maybe Evil will learn a good lesson here?

  21. Ryphus

    Ditch pig, that’s probably a horrible bear racial insult lol.

  22. Evil2.0

    Evil looks bored in the fifth and eight panels, Nerd is gonna get it for enjoying this, I have no comment on gay’s lines in this page
    …and it looks like Evils trying to get up(?) in the last panel
    You deserve a party for reaching page 100

  23. Ana

    I´m starting to get why Evil is always mocking Nerd: he is terribly annoying! By in the way, the horns in Evil´s head are decorationg or are real?

  24. Tonka

    Evil’s disdane in the last panel is classic. “I so don’t care what you say so I’m rolling over to ignore you and at the same time shoving my ass in your direction.” This is the Evil we have come to know, love, and occasionally fear.

  25. Oddiccus

    100 pages… Alright!! This comic is the best!! :]

  26. Amaranth Pink

    Evil got eye-tazer’d. Ouch.

  27. £Ø§Ð

    I like How Death Is Just Standing there, Waiting for Some Credit. And… I’d Be Doing Whjat Evil Is Right Now, Not Caring, and Trying to get Away.

  28. Yoo o/

    OMG!!! You thwarted the “Care Bears”, and it became this AWSOME webcomic. Congrats! \o/

    Whoo! 100 pages!
    Great work!

  29. Zach

    100 comics! Congrats.
    I just realized that the books are based off of the bears (yeah I am that slow). I can’t wait for the book of Tanked.

  30. Bosn C Otter

    I imagine nerd is still a trifle pissed at evil for the whole model and bees thing. Congrats on the 100 page thingy. Dont know how you do it, I have a hard enough time getting my laundry done.

  31. Dreestith

    I think death is surprised that he DIDN’T kill Evil.

  32. baughbe

    Happy 100 !!!!!

  33. Kristen

    I think that “mush-brained ditch pig” is the best insult EVER!! Happy 100, it’s been a fantastic trip! Here’s to many more hundreds!!!

  34. Mr.Giggles

    lol geek needs some good insults

  35. CeruleanSin

    I love how Nerd insults Evil while HIDING BEHIND PROZAC. **Giggles** And you can just see Evil thinking “Yeah yeah, blah blah… Are you done yet? Can I go now?? YAWN!!”

  36. Jesse

    I’m surprised Nerd didn’t call Evil a Nerf Herder. Happy 100!

  37. midnight

    eh i know i’m late but been busy and without internet for past few weeks, lol, happy Canada Day and July 4th to whomever it pertains, and congratulations on Sam and page 100!!!!!

  39. Olivebates

    Lol, death should have just walked away as if nothing happend, that would be way more Hardcore xD

  40. Zolah

    grats on page 100!

  41. ShotJon

    Genius web comic. It has only one flaw. Not enough Tanked :D :D

  42. poco

    Happy 100th strip! I love Nerd’s expressions in this one. He’s so elated by Evil’s failure.

  43. Lee

    Yay! 100th page, awesome. This is a great comic and albeit just recently found it. It was awesome to see death finally give Evil what he needed, twas so cool :D, nice touch with the lightening work.

  44. Samus x

    XD very nice

    =3 grats on 100 pages!!

  45. John

    *Facepalm* hehe…
    I think Evil is saying “Kiss my ass” in the last panel, not just rolling over and ignoring them. Though I could be wrong.

  46. John

    Death’s “Srsly you guys” look in the third and fourth panels is awesome.

  47. Wesley

    Well at least Evil could kill nerd I mean Evil is like a physical form of evil if it was a bear I think

  48. a person

    Congrats on 100 pages and good 100th page too

  49. Q.

    happy 100th, seriously, I thought Evil was dead, Death killed Evil I thought

  50. Grexter

    Yay! Congratulations!! 100 already, that’s a real milestone :). And I like the facepalm in the Isecond to last panel, I really know how he feels :)

    As for getting zapped by car doors when getting out, here’s a trick: hold on to the metal frame of the car (like the roof above you) while getting out; crucial is the moment your rear end leaves the seat, ’cause that’s when static electricty builds up from rubbing two fabrics against each other. Final cure: get a seat cover (or pants, whichever is the culprit) that’s a different fabric :-). Good luck!

    Oh! Of course, all the best for you and Sam!

  51. Snow

    Love the comic, keep up the good work!

    When are we going to see a female bear added to the cast, if ever?

  52. Shin-Goji

    Congratulations on 100 comics! It is a veritable milestone! Be proud of it!

  53. Ray G

    OMG this comic is the best ever, love how evil looks like he doesn’t care how much trouble he’s in, and turning over to show them his ass, classic! also congratulations on comic 100, and on the little one on the way!

    Best wishes to all!

  54. Yasmine

    I discovered this comic while browsing the internet at work and I’m finally up to date! Just wanted to say that I love it to pieces, you’re brilliant and talented, and I can’t wait for more! <3!

  55. Skittles

    i was thinking you should make Death chop off Evils head so no one has to deal with him!
    do you live in alberta? cuz i do and i know some Actons.

  56. machchunk

    Weakest page in recent memory. Really chaotic, and the last panel wasn’t very clear with the punchline. Eagerly awaiting tonight’s update though. :)

  57. Myuu

    HAPPY ONE HUNDREDTH!

    I feel so special that I showed up right at the hundredth comic.

    I just started reading this /July 13th/, so, AWESOME!

    Thank you for amusing me and bringing me joy.

    <3 (:

  58. Snow

    Not really chaotic to me, and that’s the beauty of the last panel, you can interpret it your own way.

  59. RAWRIMADUCKY

    A bit harsh Nerd

  61. Trolldrool

    Nerd is tough when he has someone tougher to hide behind. And it really doesn’t make him look tough. At all.
