Page 200!
So two years and 200 pages (227ish with the bonus comics and buffer) and fittingly this page is the last one of Book 2 and the first one with our newest Bear. I know his tummy symbol and meaning aren’t clear but give it some time (and if you already know DON’T say anything you spoiler!)
Here’s the last preview from chapter 20: A Gimpy Day
We’re onto year three so we’ll close out the Book of Evil by pitting Evil against himself. I guessed ninja Evil might be victorious but I didn’t think it would be by such a wide margin… poor pirate Evil.
PAGE ONE from the first VERSUS! Ninja Evil VS Pirate Evil!

…
Somehow, I just knew it.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:05 am
Ping Pong? Seriously, that the best you could come up with?
Love the kid though; “I like chocolate”. When I die, my body will be preserved in honey covered in chocolate.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:08 am
I thought the name ping pong cute
August 20th, 2010 at 12:15 am
So this makes me wounder, do the other Bears have ‘names’ the keepers call them? And if so what??? My curiosity is going mad now.
Very excited about Ninja Evil vs Pirate Evil. But I’m still lamenting Pirate Evil lost, oh well, he will forever live on in the Bear Nuts Postcard
August 20th, 2010 at 12:21 am
D’aww! Gimpy with the bunnies is adorable!
August 20th, 2010 at 12:24 am
I like ping pong! loving Evils disgusted expression! You should make a shirt on redbubble of cute wittie Ping Pong!! Ping Pong Panda…can i nick name him Triple P?!!!!?? LOL!!
August 20th, 2010 at 12:27 am
OMG!:D Ping Pong is so cute!:D I can’t wait for another installment!I wonder what his symble means for his,so much suspense…
And Gimp with the bunnies is adowable,I can’t wait to read the book once it gets released!^\\^
August 20th, 2010 at 12:42 am
the “I like chocolate” remark reminds me of gir of invader zim.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:45 am
…disappointed it’s another dude bear
was kinda looking forward to a female bear char. Oh well.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:53 am
“Ping Pong”? On well :-/
His tummy symbol let’s you know he’s a star! At least for now! I don’t know who’s “hair style” I like better,Ping Pong’s or Gay bear’s. I guess “Gay” has competition and boy does he knows it! “Evil” didn’t care until no more “steak nights”!
It’s cool the kid is saying something random as “I like chocolate!” YaY for chocolate!
HAPPY TWO YEAR ANNIBEARSARY!
August 20th, 2010 at 12:54 am
Whoa, I just read 200 comic pages in one sitting. Awesome! Really love this comic! =D
And I gotta say, Gay reminds me of an Easter bunny.
=3
August 20th, 2010 at 1:04 am
If I had to guess…I’d say it’s a star and his nature is being the Center of Attention? On the note of saying “his” They are all saying he/him. Is this not the girl mentioned before?
August 20th, 2010 at 1:12 am
We have a female bear already though
All it takes is a little imagination~ –> http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1107/gaydy.png

Even though I was in a restaurant I still managed to see this comic as soon as it was posted using my dad’s iPhone. What I was excited leave me alone.
Aw man, I still can’t really say anything about the new guy? I’ve known about him for ages… Also lulz at Ping Pong. Poor pandas always get really silly names.
I feel bad for pirate Evil… I’m one of the people who voted for ninja Evil, although I actually think Evil makes a much better pirate than ninja but I in general think ninjas beat pirates. Oh well.
August 20th, 2010 at 1:55 am
200th comic and a cool looking panda
August 20th, 2010 at 2:30 am
from the look in her eyes, i’d say tank’s about to have a new friend.
August 20th, 2010 at 2:44 am
I have this nasty suspicion that Ping Pong is going to be a total ego-maniac…
August 20th, 2010 at 3:06 am
DAMN IT… FOUR PANELS!!! The only up of my days on monday and friday are playing my piano and reading BN at 3:00 a.m, (That, and 23.5 consecutive hours on MW2) *sigh* but… you aren’t our personal webcomic slave…I suppose. Good work as always Allison.
August 20th, 2010 at 3:19 am
@pepper, (don’t get mad allison)

Yay, it’s *spoilers* Bear!
Can’t wait to see Volume 3 because you’ll *spoilers*.
ADHD kid with the chocolate ice cream is also amusing to me.
August 20th, 2010 at 4:34 am
Congrats on hitting 200! Keep up the good work!
August 20th, 2010 at 4:45 am
HA I KNEW IT =3 satisfaction
August 20th, 2010 at 5:47 am
Ping Pong! Cuz that’s such a typical Chinese thing, laaaawlz!
This is so funny!
I also think it’s a star on the bear’s belly. And I feel reassured. You know what stars do, they twinkle. And what else twinkles? Disco balls! That kid is so gay. I like him. *sings* He’s a panda bear and he’s O.K. …
August 20th, 2010 at 6:19 am
And it turns out that Ping-Pong is actually a red panda undercover.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:22 am
HAHA! I love how *maniacal* the panda’s eyes are!
August 20th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Awww that is the cutest, I love panda’s
and I think ping-pong is an applicable name.
August 20th, 2010 at 10:47 am
“I want him for a pet!!!”
That’s something I would say, he’s so cute.
August 20th, 2010 at 11:20 am
That is a super cute panda–looks like he got a makeover since I last saw him.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Throughly impressed! I knew about this day and was waiting eagerly. While some people are not overly fond of the name “Ping Pong” - I think it’s rather cute and it totally works. I cannot wait to see what kind of personality this little guy is going to have. I can see him as a “Put on a show” for the public kind of bear, but be a real d!ck when he’s not in the spotlight. Gay is going to have competition, and Evil might just need to make this little bear do a disappearing act for his next show.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
Not to spoil anythin, and I hope I am not, but isn’t this vanity bear? I had a feeling it would be him. Also just saw your preview comic, how’d you make the line so perfect by just inking traditionally? I:E: not using the Pen Tool.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
oh lordy……………………………..-heart explodes-
August 20th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Well, if Ping Pong is genuine, then I can see him being a total attention whore.
What I see more likely happening is that the zoo keepers are total tightwads and merely took another bear that looked like a panda, painted him, and got him to eat bamboo.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Likeacupcake ….. Why wait? … lick!
As far as Ping Pong goes Im sure you have already worked out his special skill, but wouldn’t it be cool, and bad news for Evil bear if anyone does bad things to him it “Ping pongs” back to the aggressor backfiring on them.
August 20th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Maybe he is animatronic, like the Panda Bear in Fierce Creatures.
August 20th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
you know whats quite a sad thing one of the reasones there are so few pandas in the world is the fact that there too lazy or unfit to mate or do anything besides eat so is this bear going to be like sloth only finner?
August 20th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
Oh well, we don’t need no stinkin females
yaaaay pandaaaaaaaa
August 20th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
Forgot to mention the adorableness of Gimp wit da bunnies.
August 20th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
but in china his name was “HO-AH! BEAR WITH BALLS OF STEEL!”
August 20th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
The *h*t just hit the fan!
August 20th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
I bet panda steaks taste wonderfully….
August 20th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
For reference, regarding Pirate Evil and Ninja Evil, my friend says that ninjas have a moral code that they must follow in their roles as assassins, whereas pirates have no such hinderance. They fight dirty and have no moral code. Therefore…PIRATE ALWAYS WINS!!! Thank you.
That was quoting my friend. As we know the voting has gone against Pirate Evil, but we deeply hope that the battle will be most epic to behold.
August 20th, 2010 at 11:36 pm
Laughed SO hard at first panel.
(Hi, I’ve been comic stalking for months now.)
August 21st, 2010 at 12:18 am
Well.
August 21st, 2010 at 9:44 am
somehow, i can see all the bears painting themselves black and white like pandas to get into the exhibit… anythign for steak night!
August 21st, 2010 at 12:36 pm
panda don’t eat steak…and for the pirate vs ninja I think it would be cool if ninja evil’s throwing stars were like the pagan star he has on the head band
August 21st, 2010 at 12:59 pm
At least it wasn’t a ligar, Evil would of had a new foe. Overall awesome 200th comic.
August 21st, 2010 at 7:19 pm
a panda is that a bear and as for the vote pirate evil would win because he prefers pirates.
August 21st, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Likeacupcake: I did mention that I hoped people who knew his REAL name wouldn’t spoil it…
HeartofBlades: They’re probably endearing names like ‘that purple one’ and ‘Pigface’
ArtisK: PPP for the win.
KimmQuinn: I don’t think a tiny girl bear would fair so well with that crowd
Zakurei: I’m not sure what girl was mentioned before?? The panda is male.
Pepper: Holy awesome I love it THANKS
FTS: BUT THEY’RE FOUR BIG PANELS
Kass: thank you!
Alicia: ah yeah, that’s kind of spoiling it… As for inking I draw bigger then the print or web size and lines look better once they’ve been resized. It also helps to have a LOT of practice and a fairly smooth line to begin with.
Shadow: oh noes! Good explosion or bad??
BosnCOtter: the animatronic thing would have been a great angle too!
zionzoom92: hello!
Ciao: now I want to draw a liger…
August 21st, 2010 at 9:32 pm
And I thought it would be fat bear painted as a panda to sneak back into the zoo and get revenge =P I’d explain the stroy for how it got in but it’d probably bore people x)
I picture Ping’ as the small thing from ‘Trap-door’, the one that has a lot of teeth but looks cute when Burk turns around… poor boney x) Probably he’ll have everyone turn on gay by pretending to be this great guy, also Gimp is the one who will have trouble. He is the one well known for his kindness among the others… I think gay might just end up having a crush on the bear ^^=
Btw, i think it’s great you kept it only guys. I find women (much like myself) ruin a comic… and movies for that matter =P With guys you can do any joke you want, and no one bats an eyelid, or questions the writer… Plus there wont be any bakkas adding ;she’s hot; to every freaking post! =P
August 21st, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Hmm I might have misread something then haha. Oh well.
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:45 am
August 22nd, 2010 at 1:25 pm
My first thought was that as his/her name was Ping Pong, the star on his/her tummy was meant to be like the star on actual Ping Pong Balls.
“Depending on the bounce, roundness and consistency of the ping pong ball, single star, two star or three star ratings are marked on the ball. A ball with a three star rating normally implies highest quality ball.”
I’ll go and sit over here now..
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Is it bad that I’m really hoping that this Panda will stick to the “Pandas are useless” thing? You know, what with their weird way of not wanting to … live. “Bamboo is all I eat, even though my teeth and digestive system is made for eating meat! I wonder why I’m so lazy all the time? And gee, don’t even get me started on mating. I don’t want to have ANY of that. Except maybe if you catch me at the right time, which is only three days out of the year. And even if we DO get it on, I might eat the babies. 8D And predators? Welp. I can’t run very fast (because of all the not-very-nutritional bamboo I eat) aaaand camo isn’t really my thing, either. Yeahhh.”
Oh Pandas. You are adorable… but are sort of logically dumb. And humans are like “Oh, we’re sorry for hunting you. …Now we’re the only thing keeping you alive because you’re just so darn fluffy.”
… PANDAS ARE ADORABLE. I APPROVE OF THIS CHARACTER. YEAH WHOO.
August 23rd, 2010 at 4:37 pm
OMG I LOL’D SO BADLY WHEN I SAW PINGPONG’S EYES!!!!
September 4th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Is ping-pong from the robin williams stand up? or is it just a coincidence? Love the comic btw
September 17th, 2010 at 3:24 am
…..Their screwed…..
November 19th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
lol thats fun
January 6th, 2011 at 4:23 pm

June 4th, 2011 at 12:46 am
