Poor little rodent army, they were fun to draw.

If Tanked was there, he’d have made friends (he’s one of those sentimental drunks).

And finally the big news: SAMMY’S HERE!! As I write this (about 12 am my time) he’s turning 3 days old.  He’s been home one full day now and we’re all slowly getting the hang of things (to all you dads out there: try twisting your nipples for 15-30 min straight 8 ish times a day… that’s how I feel right now.)

Here’s 8 pound/14 ounce Sam looking pissed that he just got pulled out of his home (check out the perfect side kick, mommy’s so proud):

You guys are in for a lot of baby pics… he has lots of outfits to show off :D

  20. cheezedog

    Congradulations, and what a super cute, (and angry looking,) little babie you have. Im sure that angry look will pass. :-) It just takes time getting used to being born.

  21. ElCharlito

    Y’know, I *thought* Monday night felt like a full moon night despite the obvious evidence to the contrary. I’m a security guard here in Ottawa too, and it was beyond frickin’ crazy. Tuesday morning for some reason I thought “Y’know, I bet the Bear Nuts girl is probably in the Ward about now”. Turns out I wasn’t far off! :D

    Long time reader, first time poster. He’s a cute lil fella!

  22. Laura

    Congratulations!! :D

  23. Ben

    Congratulations!! The baby is most adorable.
    Well done m’am!

  24. Enypnia

    SQUEE!!! BABY!!!

    Congratulations, it looks like he’s gonna have one amazing personality

  25. Akko

    Congratulations on the wee bairn. It’s not until you see a new born baby that you realise how big they can be. Bet pushing young sammy out stung a bit lol.

  26. Silverblob5

    Heh, congratulations.

  27. Eli

    Hooray! Congrats!

  28. LindsayF

    Congratulations! I wonder if there’s a baby bear in the comics future too - haha.

  31. Chamaguchi

    CONGRATS ON SAMMY !!! ♥ ^_____^ Waaaah~! She looks cute! <33

  32. Saddust

    Heya, +1 for the congrats (this one from France), +1000 even ! Keep this page as a nice memory to show to him in a few years (^v^). And could Sam help to make this world better (OK, still way to go).

    Poor Prozac, having to hit the squirrels… And Gay… I thought : is he really gay, or just narcicistic with maybe a feminine tendency ? Whatever. I’m missing Tanked… And am so curious about his past.

  33. Katharina

    Congratulations Alison & Jim!! I wish you a wonderful start for your new life in a threesome.
    Hugs
    Katharina

  34. Ad

    Congratulations! On your baby, and on a fantastic comic. I’ve been reading through it, and thoroughly liking it. It’s funny, imaginative, cute and disturbing. (Hopefully Sammy will share two or three of those traits as he grows up, but not all. :p)

    And yay, Nerd gets to play ninja! :D

  35. Jon B

    Great update, especially with Gay. Sam is a cutie. Congratulations (and sorry about your nipples).

  36. Uzuma13

    So much teh cuteness!! Congrats and I admire your determination for sticking with the comic through it all.

  37. Kenichi340

    Awww, he’s so cute. Congratulations, Alison!

    God it’s amusing watch Death being pelted by acorns, he’s not gonna too happy. Nerd looks like he’s having way too much fun being a ninja.

  38. Heather

    Congrats on your bundle of joy, he is truly adorable, and definately awesome shot of the side kick ;)
    this was a great strip and I am just waiting now to see what happens to them! :D hehe

  39. Geek Burgette

    ohhhh! So Cute!!! Grats! I’m sure you two are wonderful parents!

  40. Zelly

    Congrats to you both, he is too cute!

  41. Dubael

    Congrats,
    As to being a dad, did the stay at home father routine, with twins, a spit towel over each shoulder. Oh and growth spurts… that was fun, each baby wanting to be fed every two hours, but not at the same time. Serena was on even hours, Nathaniel was on odd hours… add to that she’d fight latching on, but fall asleep, he’d latch on, but wouldn’t fall asleep until she was about to wake up. The wife said she felt like a sow, just lying there while I brought the baby of the hour to be fed LOL
    Take care, accept all the help people offer, this is the hardest time of infancy and YES it Does Get Better *smiles*

  42. Tonka

    Happy Days! Another little artist to contribute to my favorite comic! Congratulations!

    Go Nerd, Go Nerd

  67. PTM

    Another day, Another human. Not to make enemies or start an argument, but how is it so special when 400,000 babies are born every day? Despite this, however, I am going to congratulate you because only one of those 400,000 babies is yours. Enjoy your tiny human being who will growup and maybe even find a cure for cancer someday.

  68. DavinciCoder

    Good work mom. On the baby and the entertaining toon. Digging the wammy death is putting on the hapless squirrels.

  69. Lena

    Congratulations! Sam is adorable :D

    @PTM: You have problems. Go through labor. Then you’ll know. Don’t be rude.

  70. Dis Astrum

    congratu-well done again for sam! take care of the lil guy! (not that you wont!)

    okay, this is my first ever posting of a fan-art… so I dunno if it’s actually fan-art? um, I liked the pic of crack bear running scared so I ended up drawing/inking it in class. I used colored pens.

    http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/gg307/caperawae/?action=view&current=crack.jpg

    anywho… hope you don’t mind.

  71. Sul

    Congrats! I wish you many happy years to come and siblings for Sammy!

  72. Bosn_c_otter

    Wow what an adorable little tax write off. :) Hey you gotta love death, he’s just touching and collecting them.

  73. Rothgar

    Go Ninja! I mean Go Nerd! and… i think Death might snap a bit… and the squirrels will be in for a world of hurt.

  74. Funky Al

    Ol’ (new) Sammy’s real cute and all, but from the looks of that first picture, he wants to punch something. Really badly. Perhaps me.

  75. PTM

    Lena, I’m sorry if I affended you or Sam. Please don’t be mad at me. I’m also not a girl, so don’t tell me to go through labor when I can’t. I’ll break my legs if you want, though.

  76. Kataara

    Such an adorable baby boy~!
    I’ve been following your comic for a while now, and I have been checking it every day since I found out you might be having little Sam soon. And sure enough, there he is! He’s gonna be handsome! Can’t wait to see him in his little outfits! : D

  77. Clinton

    Oh my! congrats on Sammy, Also the commission work on the wedding drawning was highly recived so thanks for taking on the work even though you were preggers :p keep up the great work

  78. Pashakitty

    Love the pics of Sammy. All you need in the first one is a little thought bubble over his head that says “Wah… I kick you now.”

  79. Rebekah

    Congrats to both you and Sammy! He looks like quite the fellow. Can’t wait to see all the cute outfits!

  80. ElderSpark

    Been catching up on the archives, and I have to say that I’m loving this comic! Artwork, storylines, and personal involvement altogether. I hope things go smoothly with adjusting to little Sam being around!

    ~Would you kindly… An interesting phrase, wouldn’t you say?
    -Andrew Ryan

  81. A.P.

    Oho~ Impressive.

  82. Fang

    @PTM - another website, another rude post. alison has friends who want updates on her–that’s KINDA the point of the pictures. don’t be rude about her child when you really won’t ever understand how it feels.

  83. Laura

    Aww, he’s adorable! Congrats! :D

  84. Como

    Howdy just wanting to say thanks, your site brightens our day here when we get to go back to base and look up ure page on the moral computers. The page took forever to load here in Afghanistan but it was worth it Sammy is adorable. The boys and I wish you good luck and good health to Sammy. Looking forward to next week. stay safe.
    Como, Kandahar, Afghanistan

  85. Mikey

  87. Franc

    Congratulations Alison.

  88. Jaci

    Congrats and a job well done!

  89. hehe

    1. DAW cute baby!
    2. XD Gay just takes a seat

  90. Hobbes

    Congrats! i think you will be a wonderful parent! I have never seen you skip a comic, which shows that you are probably more responsible than any other webcomic out there, and make good webcomics as well instead of the same old same old and not have it look like it was drawn on the napkin. And i’m ramblin. I don’t know you at all so i can’t decide the type of parent you are to be ^_^ plus i’m not Marty McFly lol its hard to find a delorean in which to put my flux capacitor

  91. Ghouly

    Am I the only one who thought of Godzilla upon seeing this

    Congrats on the Infant may he grow to be a mighty warrior

  92. herelt

    Congratulations on your new addition!!!!!

  93. Becky

    Congrats, Alison! Congrats on the fun page and new baby! He’s cute!

  94. Deeders

    Awww congratulations, thank you for sharing

  95. MrGiggles

    i think death is going to go apeshit on them o.o

  96. Mei

    Welcome Sammy!!!!!!!!!!1
    He is so adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Love to see a lot more pics of him in a whole pack of outfits!!!!!!!!!1
    Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!1
    I LOVE DEATH! XD

  97. AngelD

    Congratulations!

    I just felt like posting to tell you how great your comic is, and congratulate you for your baby. I’ve been reading it for a while now, and it’s just simply marvelous, more by the little details that make the personalities of the bears so well shaped and the main history, which never stops to amaze me.

    I wish you good luck with your baby, and I’ve already said how great your comic, so I hope you keep up the good work!

  98. Tigergulp

    WOOT! Welcome to Earth, Sammy!

  99. PTM

    Yes, welcome to Earth. You’ll learn to love and loath it with equal measure. But until then, as a baby, the world is eating out of the palm of your hand.

  100. Philip

    I’ve been reading Bear Nuts for a while now, and I think it’s one of the best comics I’ve read in a long time. I love your take on Apocalypse Now… It’s more fun than the original. Less bombs, too (so far — does Death have a temper?).

    Congratulations on your good fortune! Your baby looks pretty strong! And lucky, too, having artist/creative parents… I foresee a happy childhood for the young one.

  101. Idragon

    awwww! he is so cute i just wanna give him a hug! and YAAAY death he is awesome

  102. HappyG

    Finally the little one is here! Congratulations Alison!

    He actually looks quite big, I don’t know how you managed to pop him out but you did…

    Most babies are quite fugly and it takes an imaginative mother to see the beauty, but your little Sammy is a real charmer! He’ll be a CASSANOVA when he grows up, I’m willing to bet on it.

    I know you’re probably hearing it too much and through the pain it probably seems patronizing, but congratulations again.

    Can’t wait to see more adorable pictures!

    <3 HappyG

  103. LeeMinus321

    Comic = awesome! Sammy = cute! Congrats!

  104. Idene

    aww, quite the cute little baby he is. :3

  105. Lisa

    Aww, congratulations!

  106. Angela

    Yay Sammy! Congrats!

  107. Lena

    @PTM: Don’t break your legs. That really would not solve much. I’m sure you need them. Just remember that a baby is special to the mother and her supporters even if not to you, okay?

  108. Martin Gerlach

    Congrats… He looks very nicde and healthy…
    My wife and I are expecting our second baby on about 6months… Som I hope my little boy (14months old) is ready to become a big brother…

  109. Platy

    YAY!! He’s absolutely beautiful, honey! Though, I’m kinda concerned about the ‘nipple twisting’ comment. It really shouldn’t hurt like that to breastfeed. Is he getting a good enough latch?
    Also, frozen peas in a bag can REALLY help with engorgement. My bewbs became a shelf for the damn things for about a week after my daughter was born.
    Good luck! And remember: when the baby sleeps MOMMY SLEEPS! :D

  110. Tyron E!

    Congratulations on the successful birth of your son! He looks cool! “Gay” aint getting attacked by the squirells? Why? I guess he has some awesome powers! Maybe those squirells are “homophobes”! “Prozac” is a polite bear!

  111. Pamplemousse

    Oh no, I’m late to this party! Super-congrats on the tiny little future ninja! He’ll disarm you with extreme cuteness at exactly the time when the crying and nipple-twisting really starts to get to you. They are crafty little balls of adorable, that’s for sure. :D
    I’m so glad everything went so well!
    And yes, for updating (even if it was a from a buffer supply) you officially qualify as an internet goddess.

  112. spike

    Awww… he is the handsomest little guy! Hope you are all doing ok.

  113. Goofy_Charli

    Oh My Gosh! I haven’t checked BN for ages and I completely missed that Sam arrived! Congratulations! He’s beautiful. ^///^ I hope all goes well with him, and he isn’t too much of a screamer.

  114. Savanna

    Oh my goodness he’s so adorable! Can I have him? =P
