Everyone looks at me funny when I say this but I can’t stand coffee: the smell, the taste, not even the sugary cafe drinks.  But I do like Coffee Crisp…

If you missed last week here’s the vote incentive aftermath to the Christmas card:

I had so much fun with these sketches I drew a part 3: today’s vote incentive is the aftermath of the aftermath :D

    Death… and coffee. Bad combination? I believe so.

    I can only wait excitedly for what you have in store… XDDD

  2. ...

    Oh god, is Death Bear on caffeine rush?

  3. D4rkLigh7

    I’d feel like that too after, from what I can tell, 10 cups of coffee.

  4. Mickel

    OMG. My 2 favorite things: Death Bear and Coffee! This one is great. Happy 2KX

  5. Kristen

    Don’t worry, I won’t look at you funny. I’m from a coffee addicted family and I REALLY have to be in the mood for coffee to even bring myself to order a frappuccino (or other coffee house equivalent) and even then I only ever finish maybe half of it. I’m more of a coke/pepsi/dr. pepper girl myself when it comes to my caffeine cravings.

  6. David (:

    HAHAHA XDD I Loved the two comics x3! nice nice nice (Y)

  7. SIX

    yay… this episode… DEATH BEAR GOES ON A RAMPAAAGE >:D

  8. Lax

    I love the smell of coffee only, never drink it. But oh boy, the only thing worse than Death on caffeine is Evil on caffeine :D

  9. Ken Cowan

    Yes, you are my fave totally twisted cartoonist. The mere element of your reaction to coffee marks you. Hee, hee, hee.

  10. Mike

    I also hate coffee and everything about it, but love coffee crisp. glad i’m not alone in this anymore :)

  11. CatzCradle

    Omg, the incentives are too cute! I love it especially when Prozac goes all crazy like that. xD

    Hrm… wonder what Death Bear will do next? Become the next Tanked or Cracked? J/K xP

  12. phDexter

    Yeah, 7th!!! It’s my lucky number.
    I was a little bit like Death: I couldn’t stand the coffee, but I had to drink it because I couldn’t sleep normally for 3 years, and I always felt sleepy at morning.
    But I like it now.

  13. Keairan

    I’m with you on the Coffee bit, can’t stand either the smell or taste of it. I find myself to be more a chai type of guy.

  14. Saddust

    Hello, I hope I’m not late to wish a good 2010 (better than 2009 if possible) to the li’l family and all the readers (^v^) Greetings from France.
    @D4rkLigh7 : Death drank at least 8 coffee cups, it seems

  15. Lucky

    After read this, the less that I can think is…
    ? All night long! (All night) ? 8D
    Happy New Year :B

  16. Evil2.0

    This will not end well, for anyone. But Sammy’s looking pretty cute ( though based off th epic a few pages back)

  17. nia_teppelin

    I HATE coffee as well, the smell itselfs makes me sick.

    “Death on caffeine”, huh. Has an interesting ring to it, certainly didn’t see that one coming.

  18. Tigerspew

    The only thing for certain in life is Death and Taxes–now with extra foam! XD

  19. Delakando

    oh dear god its the freaking apocalypse! Death thats been caffeinated will likely go around slaughtering everyone or get hooked like a drug.

  20. TJ YZ

    !!!Love panels 7-9!!!
    Why does coffee smell so good but taste so bitter!

  21. Ch1pM0nkey

    It looks like death is missing a toe in the las panel. I just wanted to point that out =D

  22. Nicole

    I think his foot is just angled away from us, Ch1pM0nkey.

    Oh, Death, where is thy caffeine buzz? I love the smell of coffee, but rarely drink it. Just not my thing. Lordy, what will happen to Death?

    And the vote incentive…*snarf*…perfect. I thought Tanked was given poo.

  23. Heart of Blades

    Uh-oh, this can’t be good. Death highped up on coffee…..*meep* I’m scared, lol

  24. Keith

    “Death of a Caffeine Rush” is sort of the opposite of “Death Takes a Holiday,” right? Of course, the only downside of this leading to the Apocalypse would be the strip would come to an end - and I don’t think any of us want THAT to happen.

  25. Mark

    Keith sort of beat me to the parody of “Death Takes a Holiday” - I just thought of “Death Takes a Coffee Break” was all :)

  26. Nicole

    @Keith…end of the strip! BLASPHEMEH!!!! SHUN TEH BLASPHEMER!!! ;)

  27. Saari

    I can totally understand you. I hate coffee as well :)

  28. Glowworm

    I actually can’t stand coffee. I tried some in sixth grade. Those DD commercials made iced coffee sound so good. I had no idea you had to add sugar! I never touched the stuff again. I do like coffee flavored chocolate and desserts oddly enough…

  29. Kookaburra8su

    And so it begins… “The Night Of The Living Dead”

  30. Jay

    Coffee Enemas!

    They’re for those who really hate the taste of coffee, but still want the jittery feelings!

  31. Porst

    I love coffee…. both drinking it and the way Jay suggested….

  32. Who I Am Is My Business, Staying Out Of My Way Is Yours

    Heh heh heh…I remember my first gourmet coffee…

  33. Rook

    Is it just me or on the bottom 4th panel he has 4 toe’s?

  34. Bosn_C_Otter

    yay! Coffee is my favorite drug.

  35. Nicole

    @Rook: I believe the three toes of his left foot are pushing up against the three toes of his right foot. So the right foot big toe gives the illusion that it is actually part of the left foot. But good visual catch! I had to really look at it.

  36. Angela

    Yeah…coffee will do that to you.

  37. Mar

    I don’t mind coffee, but I always crash 5 minutes after drinking one freaking cup. NO THANKS!

  38. LOD

    I love your comic so much!! I hope I might become as good as you some day!
    I have my own stash of characters myself!

  39. hazel

    Finally someone who understand my complete and total dislike of coffee. I don’t want it, it’s smell or favor anywhere near my food and drinks. Moreover people get more confused when I tell them I don’t like tea either. Once my friend forced me to try a tea that tasted like coffee had been pored into it- it’s safe to say it was the grossest thing I’ve ever drank.

    As for the coffee and Death combo that I look forward to it completely. This will probably be very interesting indeed.

  40. rich sf

    That looks like me after 1/2 a cup…

  41. Skullbunny

    I <3 Coffee Crisp too! They’re a bear to find in the states, though…

  42. Beka-of-the-leaf

    I love this comic, and i can’t stand the smell of coffee either. It’s sad to say, i even hate the smell of tea and the taste. The only thing i like about Coffee is the foam on some. I can’t wait for the next page!!

  43. Ida

    hehehe im just like you with coffee, can’t stand the smell of it and the taste is even worse, and i even can’t kiss my boyfriend after he’s had a coffee so he’s given it up. But i have to try this coffee crisp :P

  44. Thae

    Eureka! FINALY someONE that understands! I’ve never had those Crisps but I can stomach copico candies when I’m craving sugar ;) as for caffeine pepsi is fine substitute for coffe

  45. BrokenWizard

    Why is it that nobody likes coffee?

  46. VeeVee

    Hi, this is my first visit to your webcomic and i read the whole she-bang in one long session!! It is 4:31 a.m. now O.O
    I love it! And the funny thing is: i got here through a wikipedia-link on the wikipage of..the Carebears! hehehe. (
    Noticed that Lech bear has hearts on his feetpaws too <3 )
    I got all the names exept Gimp and Lech :i had to look them up in urban dictionary!!(not a native speaker hehe)
    I would really like it if you would introduce a female character in their cave -even if just for a while- to see how the bears react.
    PS Evil really looked so much like a kittycat in the origins of Evil. he always does a lil…^^
    PPS You are VERY open about your own life online, pretty intimate stuff sometimes and the combination of pregnancy stories and cute baby-pictures combined with some of th evilness in the stories riiight above is sometimes.. pretty.. ” O.O “

  47. Bohemia

    I work at a zoo in Australia; if our bears actually acted like this, there would be much hilarity– and not a few customer complaints. :) Loving this, Death dominates!

  48. Ketira

    I don’t mind the smell so much - but it always tastes *burnt* to me. Not to mention that the caffeine would KO me in 5 minutes….

    But my cause is a past Life memory. I got some bad news while having my (then usual) morning cup.

  49. coffee is like crack

    ah coffee, the blessed nectar of life… how i love you so (please note i can drink up to 20 a day)

  50. admin

    @Saddust: Thanks for the New Year wishes, same to you!
    @Nicole: A rock :) But poo would be good too…
    @Keith: I imagine the Apocalypse would have a few more downsides :)
    @Jay: gross man
    @Porst: ditto
    @LOD: Thanks! It just takes practice… lots and lots and lots of practice.
    @VeeVee: Wow, that must of taken awhile! Welcome to BN :D
    @Bohemia: I’d love to work in a zoo!
    @coffeeislikecrack: That sounds mighty healthy… How’s you heart?

  51. coffee is like crack

    to the boss:
    i am mighty healthy, no heart complications for me, no way…
    thank you for the concern though :)

  52. AdamW13

    No good will come from this. Hilarious high jinks, though, I’m sure.

  53. £Ø§Ð

    Don’t Drink Coffe ‘Neither, So, Your not Alone. :p

  54. reccaman

    Coffee is for work and not for when you get up or to drink at home but that is just me

  55. Skykitsune

    Oh sh*t… Here we go again! I don’t drink coffee, but I’ve seen the effects of that much, and for a first timer? Hoo boy…

  56. Kitsunekage

    My First time having coffee was like that, too….but I drank more…..now i can’t start thinking untill i at least smell it, even thou i’m more of a tea guy myself.

    Just a thought, for those of you who do like coffee, what do you put in it. I hate the cream (I was brought up on 1% and skim milk), so I add in enough sugar to kill a horse….

  57. Solario the Visored

    As the image was loading and I saw the first three panels, I started thinking of that song by OK GO: “Aw, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again…” This can only end hilareously. XD

    As for the Christmas Aftermath image, I can’t help but think Prozac is making that face because of Evil’s lack of creativity. “Seriously, Evil. A goose? We’ve already done that phobia of his to death! And Nerd’s just explodes? Lame. At least the Peanuts reference was nice, but that seems more like last-minute creativity to me.” >:P

  58. gokol

    I don’t like Coffee either!

  59. Elkian

    OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP

  60. Elkian

    ‘Gourmet’ also implies ESPRESSO

  61. Kisara

    Lol @ panels 6 thru 9. Those panels remind me of a scene in Open Season. Elliot (the buck) finds some coffee, and even though it tastes disgusting, he still likes it cuz somehow it’s addictive. XD Same thing with Death I suppose. I adore Death’s face. <3

  62. Kisara

    I’m also the same way with coffee. :D I can’t stand the smell or taste. I use to like the smell, but not anymore :/

  63. EJAK5199

    This obviously isn’t going to bode well…
