Oh Glech, your silly interactions aren’t fooling anyone (they’ve sucumbed to the celebrity couple name mashing)… are they or aren’t they??  I think with nine males stuck together there’s probably a lot of unrequited love!  Or they just turn the sexual tension into violence re. the previous comic :)

We like to tease my army brother about this as he probably knows a bit about an all male (or mostly male) dynamic.  That’s an awful lot of young, buff guys showering together… and there’s no alcohol allowed where he’s stationed so what do they do all day??  Video games apparently.  Leave it to my brother to find a job, even in a war zone, that lets him sit on his ass and play Halo, or whatever.  Is it ironic to be in a war and still want to play war video games?

Too many males!  Here’s a girl!

Today I turn 29… OMG so old. (I know it’s not really old but it’s a terrifying prospect to be leaving my 20s.  It’s almost like re-inventing yourself as that’s what I’ve been for a decade and soon I won’t be anymore.  And I’m a mom, which is another term I’m still not used to using to describe myself… OMG old.)

    Crack is going to kill someone! How could anyone do that to poor Dooomy! I know when it comes to my stuffed animals I’ll kill you if you touch them…I mean, came to my stuffed animals…cause…cause I’m a grown man…when I was a kid I had stuffed animals…not anymore…yeah…

  4. peninmyhair

    Dooomy! oO Who’s done that to you? OMG, I’d kill anyone who’d harm my stuffed animals. Yeah, I’m not ashamed to admit that I got a customised (my Mum knitted clothes for it) stuffed sheep for my 20th birthday. My whole family (=Mum, sis and me) is smitten with her (=cutesy soldier sheep).

    Also, Happy Birthday! I don’t think leaving your twenties can be any more scary than leaving teenage years and living in your twenties. I mean, by that time you’ve got your life figured out, right? oO (Okay, I hope that didn’t make it any more scary…)

    As a male in the Army myself, and about to deploy for another round, I can absolutely confirm the presence of many a video game. It passes the time, and allows steam to be blown off in a semi-safe manner. (controllers might not think its safe, as they lay broken on the floor) Been reading this since about #10, keep up the great work.

    Whoa, summer is confusing. Half the time I have no idea what day of the week it is… I need one of those scheduler thingies so I know when to check online stuff for updates otherwise I just write all day.

    On the last storyline I just want to say I’m amused by the fact that they can change the channel without the remote… but still made such a big over the remote. XD I wish I didn’t need the remote…

    *Quietly ponders how badly she would be judged if she wrote slash-fic for this webcomic.*

    Annoy an angry person - S**t level = 4
    Annoy a nerd - S**t level = 6
    Annoy a patient person - S**t level = 7
    Annoy a patient nerd - S**t level = 10

    Annoy a hypochondriac - S**t level = 50

    This could get messy.

    Dun dun duhhhhhhhh!

    Yeah leaving your Twenties behind seems like a big scare, but looking back at my life as a 46 year old I can say, your best is yet to come. 39 was my favourite year. Mind you by that time I was twice divorced and rooming with friends again like a frat boy. As a father of College age kids life is still pretty good though. Plus you get to watch your little man learn to walk and talk, before you start cursing him for not staying still and talking back to you, but you’ll miss that part too when he gets into his late teens/early twenties and is too busy with his friends. Then one day you’ll turn around and realise, Hey, I’m free to do the things I miss from when I was a busy parent. Happy Birthday regardless, I love your comic, I vote everyday and wish you well.

    Holy drama queen batman!

  11. Tigergulp

    I shall be the eternal 16 yr old. Why? Because I age sloooooooowly….

  12. Tatterdemallion

    Happy birthday.

  13. Tonka

    Happy Birthday! I have always wondered if Gay and Lech actually liked each other on some deep level. Not necessarily “like like” as we said back in high school (which now that I think about it is over 25 years ago - Yikes!). You really start to feel old when you see kids in high school letter jackets and you think “Wow, I graduated X number of years ago”. And then your knees start to pop. Seriously though. Dubael pretty much has it right. Age is just a journey. And a fun one! Keep feeling young and you will be young.

  14. colachan

    ahaha crack bear is piiiissssed XD and happy birthday :)

  15. D.Lord

    One from the best web-comics I ever read .You have one more fan from Greece ! Love Crack in the last panel !

  16. TJ YZ

    A line’s been crossed! X)
    Happy Birthday!!

  17. Alicia

    I can bet Gay and Lech have a secret things for one another. Would explain the constant fighting. What I find interesting is Gay making remarks like drama queen and such. If anyone would be a drama queen it’s him! Also, I kinda figure Evil is behind this one!

  18. Kaos

    Happy birthday.
    Wow.. Angry Crack? now the world will end. D:

  19. Cloud W Omega

    crack is going to kick….. some ass! i want to see him beat up evil :D

  20. K

    I’d thought Gay already had Gimp, or something since they always have the S&M thing going on in the extra artwork

    Or is Gay just his, eh, handler?

  21. Nicole

    Happy Birthday, Alison!! :) Have a good one, ya lil’ whippersnapper!

    GO GET ‘EM, CRACK!!! Woo, this is gonna be good! :)

  22. Super Jesty

    Never enough males.

    PS. Happy birthday :D

  23. Joe

    29 isnt that bad, I’m turning 30 in 5 months and I have yet to find a girl to stick around long enough to have a family…on the whole, I’d say your doing pretty good. :) Happy Bday. :)

  24. grimreaper92

    is that the fist time gay and him got along for 2 sec lol
    ooh and crack going to kill them all
    happy b-day

  25. Sarita

    I couldn’t stop reading Lech and Gay’s “interaction.” Over and over again. I lol’d FOR REAL.

    These guys seriously need some girls, though. Please make it soon.

    In other news, I can’t wait for Crack to whup all over someone. Yet, for some strange reason, I feel like Nerd is responsible. Just for a change of pace.

  26. Lea

    Happy birthday, author of bear nuts! You’re right, entering your 30s makes you pretty old. But never fear, there’s always plastic surgery waiting to save you! ….ok, seriously, I don’t think you really have to worry about getting old before ten years from now. :P

    Also, I don’t think suppressed sexual tension has anything to do with this. Dudes are just more prone to behaving idiotic when there are no girls around to remind them of the pleasures of the intellect.
    Still I suppose no one would mind if frantic bear makeouts would find their way into the comic someday. *hint* Don’t force me to write my own Gay-Lech-slashfic. Because I’d have you read it mercilessly. ^.^

  27. Tezzle

    HAAAA! “Glech.” I love it. “HMPH!” >:U Admit your undying love for one another like all the fan-girls want! XDD Heh… pairings.

  28. Lucky

    Happy B. Day Alison and don’t worry, I feel the same. I have 29 and the bad feeling that the 30’s is closer, make us feel it to the bones D:

  29. Silka

    Happy birthday, Alison! Believe me, 29’s not that rough. 30, on the other hand… XDDDD

  30. poco

    I turned 30 yesterday. :P Happy birthday!

  31. lt_amazil

    i kinda thought that gimpy was a girl =/ SO MUCH LIES

  32. Watanuked

    EPIC CRACK POWERS ACTIVATE!!!!

  33. Smurg

    I’m convinced that Gay and Lech are tsundere for each other.

  34. Rashen

    Hi there!

    29 is NOT old :) Probably all women thinks that as I see it (from male side :D )… Well, happy birthday and keep up the good work…we love you and your work ^.^

  35. Fuzzy

    I have to admit when I first started reading I secretly hoped the Gay and Lech would hook up. But then again, that might just be the rabid fan girl in me that feels the need to ship favorite characters with unlikely and dramatic ways. Needless to say Capt Jack Harkness satisfied every fangirl need I ever had.

    Team Glech anyone?

  36. Kate W

    I hope you had a wonderful birthday. Not to worry, you’ll discover soon enough that sense of invulnerability you had as a high school senior has mutated, and as far as your brain is concerned you’re still about 27.

  37. Crystal

    Happy Birthday!!!
    I’m about to be a mommy too XD

  38. Lea

    Heh, another reason to ship Glech - it’s unlikely that one of them accidentally gets pregnant… OR IS IT? :D

    (Male pregnancy ftw)

  39. Razz

    i sense a disturbance in the bear force….. and i sense a intense murder intent is gonna happen

  40. Ben

    oohooooooohhhhoooo. crack’s gonna be doin some MURDERIN.

    that being said allison you do amazing female humans. definately liking.

  41. tsophies

    Happy Birthday Alison!! Hope you’ve had a brilliant one, and if you ever feel too old, play waterfights with Sam, or swing on the swings! (LOVE this page. Love Glech as well. or maybe Gaych. But that sounds like ‘cakech’ in my head :D)

  42. Meloa

    Happy birthday. You are only as old as u make yourself believe.
    Ohhhhhhhh Somebodies about to get their ass KICKED…..HARD!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see that. Awesome Comic, Keep up the good work.

  43. Meloa

    (somebody’s) grammar error,sorry.

  44. Squival

    oh shhiii-
    Never seen Crack so angry, those bears should give him some room :/

  45. kaijufan43

    Cracked is gonna crack some heads!

  46. Michelle

  48. Bosn_C_Otter

    happy birthday. One more day closer to death. Cool huh? Im 49 this year. The fun part about being this old is you can start feeling parts of your body wear down. I make all sorts of cool sounds getting out of bed, My food prossessing machine seems to go on the frits every now and then. Fun stuff!

    Er…. so happy birthday!

  49. Draconi

    whole ton of males, insert one female. watch every (excludeing gay) male in the house go nuts for her. watch female turn out to be a lesbian, watch every male (excludeing Gay) burst into tears.

  50. Kay

    I’ve got to admit, I’ve been shipping Glech for some time. I hope they get together, are given an orphan cub to raise by the zookeepers, and then someone writes an adorable children’s book about them. Roy and Silo broke up, the world needs a new gay animal celebrity couple!

  51. Vampire

    any one how has to resort to killing stuffed animals if some one destroyed all 90 something of my dolls id have to hammer nails in to there fingers and then cut out there minor organs where they can be still alive , and feed it to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (then go for the major organs)

  52. Julian

    Never posted a comment here but read since #1.
    Two days late but: Happy Birthday! You do a great job!

  53. admin

    @peninmyhair: I think a lot of people are still finding themselves in their 20’s, or re-inventing themselves in their 30’s, but I think I’m okay where I am at least :)
    @SoraAK: If you wrote slash fic for this I might just have to read it
    @Dubael: Thanks for the insight and the hugs!
    @Tigergulp: If only…
    @D.Lord: Thanks! My husband is Greek so he’s happy to hear it :)
    @Nicole: Thank you!
    @Lea: I could use some plastic surgery on my baby belly, ugh.
    @Poco: Happy Bday to you too!
    @Rashen: Thank you!
    @Crystal: Congrats!!!!
    @Lea: Well my husband still hasn’t lost the baby weight :)
    @Ben: Thanks!
    @Bosn_C_Otter: uh, thanks! Very encouraging :)
    @Kay: I’d love to do a children’s book like that “My Two Bear Daddies”
    @Julian: Thank you very much!

    Happy Belated Birthday, Alison. I just turned 29 myself in April and never thought of this age as old until I reached it. I find myself calling high schoolers “kids” and dismayed by the fact I been carding people that were born when I was in 1st grade who can now legally drink. Of course it doesn’t help my hair turning gray already. The upside of our age is the insight to look back at mistakes of youth and still being young enough to most or less easily change the direction of our lives.
    Btw who is the character in the incentive? She kinda looks like Black Cat.

    Glech is now an official shipping for this comic. Let’s start the fanart people!

  56. >=[

    My coment might not make the list, but I have to say Im predjudice, I cannot stand, or tolerate Homosexuals. I’m from texas, so that may explain it. However, the comic in general is cool keep up the good work.(but pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee none of this glech nonsense)

  57. Kitsunekage

    I’ve created a mathmatical formula:

    If the tension of the cave is y, the disasterous outcime is x, then pr0zac-0ff-h1s-m3ds=yx, D3ath-0n-caff1n3=2xy[squared], crack-1n-a-r1ght0us-fury=3(xy)[cubed]. Since we all know that yx less than or equal to 2xy[squared], which is in turn less than or equal to 3(xy)[cubed], then you have already come to this conclusion: Crawl into a hole, and pull it in after you.

    If this comment makes no sence, reread it untill it does. It took forever to figure out how to write it!

    OH CRAP, Cracked is mad!
