I’ve never actually been to a circus, but I’d love to see a Cirque show some day; I prefer the lack of animal exploitation… though I did see an unfortunate doc once about how the performers who got injured or too old weren’t treated that great either. We live in a very disposable society.
That went kind of dark so how about a big sketch page vote incentive: bright colors and happy pictures! :)
Monday the 27th is the last day for pre-orders for vol 1! Books should be shipping by then. If you’d still like to order the book and get a free sticker you have until the 27th (free stickers will still be included for Artist Edition books). Go here for more info.

I never knew Death Bear was so Dr. Phil like, lol. Bring on the Ring of FIRE!
July 20th, 2009 at 12:09 am
Here in Albuquerque a few years back, a small circus came through town. One elephant died, so the city investigated and found all their animals abused. They were confiscated, so now our zoo has a new (slightly used) elephant.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:12 am
O.O oh my
July 20th, 2009 at 12:27 am
wow =’( feel so sad for Evil..
July 20th, 2009 at 12:36 am
How little I knew when I called him a clown in passing. D: I’d almost feel bad if it wasn’t so damn funny.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:36 am
well,Didnt think death would be curious about that..but i guess it was coming since this is about evil
July 20th, 2009 at 12:36 am
aww no! That’s so sad <:(
July 20th, 2009 at 12:39 am
The instant I saw Death say “How’d you get that scar?”, I thought of the Joker.
Someone good with Photoshop needs to get a Joker edit up in this bitch.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:47 am
Oh no! Poor poor Evil. That is horrible. And look at Death Bear, he really is a sweety, lol
July 20th, 2009 at 1:12 am
Aww I feel bad. Evil wasn’t always evil =(
July 20th, 2009 at 1:25 am
POOR EVIL Q.Q
July 20th, 2009 at 1:31 am
I wish I had a friend like Death. D: Even after he tazers you, he still cares.
July 20th, 2009 at 2:11 am
Wow! Evil the circus bear?! Didn’t see that coming! Don’t mean to be funny,that ring of fire must’ve scorched him for life! I’ve been to a circus for the first time in my life. Last year. (besides the “Circus Circus” casino in Vegas) They’re ok. Didn’t have any bear acts. I noticed Evil didn’t have his “tummy symbol” In cub life. Death has a cool personality. Nice dark charcaol fur.
July 20th, 2009 at 2:30 am
Hmm. Evil bear has been a circus artist? Wow. then it explains why he hates eveything so much. he bears so much pain that he needs to make everyone to share it with. O.o
July 20th, 2009 at 3:40 am
First time I ever felt sorry for Evil.
July 20th, 2009 at 4:20 am
Baby Evil looks adorable!
XD AWWWW! I WANT THAT IN PLUSH!
July 20th, 2009 at 4:21 am
Awww
July 20th, 2009 at 4:52 am
….he didint have horns… or a pentigram when he was a child….
July 20th, 2009 at 5:11 am
I have to confess that thought that Evil come from a laboratory judging by his alquemy belly symbol, XD…..and I never figured about that scar before!
July 20th, 2009 at 7:15 am
That’s kinda sad. I never thought I’d feel sorry for Evil.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:15 am
omg, poor little Evil… but how comes that he didnt have horns before? i mean, those are real horns, arent they?
Death is so sweet. :)
July 20th, 2009 at 7:36 am
Death the therapist. Gotta love Death…Wait, what? Evil was a circus bear? That one came out of left field.
There’s something about those eyes from Evil Cub that make me just wanna smile and chuckle.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:12 am
I love death bear! And Evil looks so cute with small pupils.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Ohh. I always thought Evil’s mommy was a bear and his daddy was Satan. Or something. Looking forward to finding out where those horns come from…
July 20th, 2009 at 9:06 am
HAHA!!! Explains why Evil is well…evil! I wonder what would happen if a clown got close to him.
July 20th, 2009 at 9:59 am
You would love Cirque du Soleil Live so much. I’ve only been to two of them but they were more fun than beating up hobos…mm mm good.
July 20th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Thats how it all began? In the circus…I should have figured…nothing good ever comes from being forced to work in a circus. I hope he didn’t get hurt too much.
A few questions for you, the book both the artists rendition and the normal one are they hard cover or no and how tall by how wide? I ask because I need to save a place for one on my bookshelf.
July 20th, 2009 at 10:21 am
@BlueNight: That’s horrible, I’m glad you guys stepped in. And congrats on the “new slightly used” elephant.
@Hahn: Beaten many hobos then? :) Some day I will go to a Cirque show, but it’s pricy.
@Evil2.0: The books are soft cover (shipping is way less that way!) and measure approx 10 inches wide by 6.5 inches high

I just got back from vacation, so I got caught up by reading 100, 101, 102. I got the same vote incentive for all 3 pages. Could you note me on DA with a link to them? http://mahapanta.deviantart.com/

In the small town of Menominee in upper Michigan we have a circus that comes to town every year and performs in our high school’s gym. When I was smaller, they used to have elephant rides, where kids could climb up on those huge, lumbering beasts. But a few years ago one of the elephants snapped and went on a rampage with some kids on it’s back and they had to shoot it. They don’t offer elephant rides anymore.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Ohoho, evil doesn’t have the sign on his chest back then. Something’s telling me this accident might have to do with it >:)
July 20th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Great! Now Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” keeps playing in my mind.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Well, now we know where he gets his unhealthy fascination with fire. Surprising, actually. I would’ve figured that would make him afraid of fire, and the others would discover the fear, much to their amusement.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
This makes me wanna give Evil a hug and some cookies… :<
July 20th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
EVIL KICKS ASS!!!
July 20th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
awww, poor Evil. I can see where this is heading x_x
*points at sketches* woot, Rei!! 8D
July 20th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Aww, you just made me not like death anymore <:(
July 20th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
@Blueknight: I was born in Albuquerque! Good we look out for the animals. :)
July 20th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Love the vote incentive sketches for today. Some really cool looking characters interspersed among the bears. Are these other projects of yours and where can I see them in their full environment?
July 20th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
@.@ my god he’s cute when he’s old and young! MUST. HAVE. EVIL. CUB. PLUSHIE.
Love the scar appearing out of nowhere.
Great art :3 still want the plushie.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Aahha, finally caved and decided to start commenting >:D After over 100 pages, I feel it’s only right.
This actually made me love Death even MORE… kind of funny; he and Evil tie for my favorites… this page just bumped the scales to an equal fanlove. :]
July 20th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
So what did he fall on a branding Iron how dose ring of fire = belly scar?
July 20th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I just found Bear nuts a few weeks ago and I so love it!!!!
Evil kinda reminds me of my roommate ;)
But please don’t hurt Evil too much, I don’t know why but he seems like the kind who can only dish it out!
Oh and I would love to see a female opposite of Evil, maybe even one who is just a little bit more Evil! ;)
July 20th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
“Of FIRE!” Ooooof Course. HAS To be On Fire.
July 20th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
D’awww, Chibi Ebil!
July 20th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
WOAH it’s a scar? So like… he didn’t have something there before? But like… all the other bears had something there and he did’t? D8 *brain blown*
…
Gay’s past:
“And now! The fearless bear cub will drive through the ring… OF YELLOW HIPPOS!”
July 20th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I predict that there will be an OMGWTFBBQ moment like what happened in the voodoo incident.
On a related matter…HOW COULD HE MAKE SOMETHING SO CUTE GO THROUGH A RING OF FIRE!?
July 20th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Scar’s not on his belly, I think, but that mark/slight shading on his forearm, seen in panels 4, 5, and 6.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
IT’S ON HIS ARM, NOT THE PENTAGRAM, folks.
July 20th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Cirque du Soleil is beautiful. I’ve seen O and Delirium. They are Fan-freaking-tastic. BTW, I have a new love for poor little Evil bear. But I noticed that he doesn’t have the insignia on his belly as a baby, is that something that shows up in adulthood?
July 21st, 2009 at 12:35 am
If you check out “The Origin of Prozac Part 1″, you’ll notice that baby Prozac (and his mother and siblings) also didn’t have tummy symbols. I’m guessing, like the Care Bears, the bears aren’t born with their tummy symbols but “earn” them in some manner somewhere along the line. In Evil’s case, the horns were probably thrown in as part of the deal to complete his outfit.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:24 am
ring of fire eh? that explains his love of it? somehow XD maybe he takes revenge on everyone in the circus hm
July 21st, 2009 at 9:51 am
you moved! and i just now found you. i missed you, and all your evil-ness ^_^
evil is adorable as a cub- look at those big buggy-wuggy eyes! hes not even evil yet- no horns or stamp of the devil. awwww
:P
July 21st, 2009 at 11:14 am
@tony: u aren’t the only one
July 21st, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Oh noes… poor evil, i think i can see where this is going, cant wait for the next comic
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 am
1 - The big, reputable shows don’t abuse the animals, so don’t paint all circuses with the same brush.
2 - Prozac didn’t have the symbol as a cub either, so it’s unlikely that Evil’s is the result of some sort of accident.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Death Bear is like the Big Brother of the bunch… :]
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Thank you
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Huh, apparently being near Death makes your life flash before your eyes…
Sorry, I had to.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 pm
This is really great,
my friend told me about BEAR NUTS just a few days back and I have to say, so far i’m loven it.
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:07 am
@Oddiccus I wish my big brother was as cool as Death Bear. Lol, that would be awesome
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:17 am
bwahahahaha! I’ve been a Death fan for a while now, never would have guessed that he was so popular! That poll made me really happy. XD Gimp too, I think he’s my second favorite xD
Anyway…I never knew that was a scar on his stomach. But awwwww, he looked so adorable. With those big shiny eyes in the 3rd to last panel…you can just tell he was looking back and forth between the trainer and the fire as ideas slowly began to form…XD
also, have you ever heard the Happy Song by Liam Lynch? It like, needs to be Prozac’s theme song. *random* That was actually what reminded me to come here once I heard it on a video XD
July 23rd, 2009 at 8:51 am
I saw cirque perform Dralion in Sydney last year and absolutely loved it - it’s just a shame they seldom tour down under.
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Aww. That explains why he was trying to roast the kid, I guess… other than to eat him.
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Noo… He was trying to cook him to remove parasites.
