Poor Gay.  I don’t know if wrinkle creams work on bears but I’m sure he’ll give it a good try.  Speaking of wrinkle creams, Sammy’s giving me grey hairs and I never have time to moisturize.  Okay generally I forget but I’m trying to do that at least once a day.  I’ve had a total of two facials in my life and both of the technicians made fun of my skin, politely of course, but they could tell I didn’t use much product beyond soap in the shower.  This question is open to everyone of course but if any of you ladies can recommend an inexpensive product that actually works I’d love to hear about it.

    This is what I love about this comic; strips like this.

    Gay’s got his pocket sized subplot going on back there, Evil and Lech want to carve the Asian (I hope no one gets offended if I say that…), Nerd’s putting his limited social skills to use by consoling Gay, and Prozac’s brain has rebooted. Good times ^_^

  2. YIPPEE KI YAA HE YAY KYA~H KAYO

    So the bears can roll up their fur like people roll up their sleeves? Go figure.

  3. Uberhoser

    VOODOO !!!! VOODOO !!!! VOOOOOOOO DOOOOOO !!!!

  4. ikemaster

    Ping Pong is in troooouble

  5. poco

    Well… he’s certainly got the bears worked up. XD

    I typically use baby lotion on my face and hands. It works well for me and I’ll bet you’ve got some laying around.

  6. Optimus Prime

    You can buy facial products from Shoppers Drug Mart at like, 3 facial masks for five bucks; relatively cheap. They also have foot lotion I think, and hair conditioner stuff. They say use weekly, but I can use more than one in a week. They put on, sit for 15 minutes or so, then rinse/scrub off. The mint one and sea salt ones work wonders. You won’t need moisturizers with these things.

  7. celeste

    Hey, sorbolene is pretty good. The QV products (purchased from chemists and really soft on skin) are amazing.

  8. 13yaroza

    That background was the frekin hilarious!!!!! I really hope they use the voodoo doll!

  9. Angie

    BEAT HIM TO THE GROUND.

    (…I think that last panel is bound to produce Nerd/Gay Shipping. )

  10. coyoteBR

    Aw, poor Gay… time to contraband some botox :p great page!

  11. Colleen

    Poor Gay. And I don’t use any of those wrinkle products or any of that special stuff for your skin, I use normal Irish Spring soap and warm water and nothing else. By the way I’m sorry if you mentioned this before but why does Gay have a pink pig as his belly badge?

    I love Evil’s comment at the end and how him and Lech want to just cave Ping Pong’s skull in XD

    I wonder if this will lead to them trying to look younger or cuter to gain more attention while also getting back at Ping Pong… I call Gay getting ticked off and using maybe any left over dye from the shopping trip they took and dying Ping Pong’s fur and messing up his hair and stuff.

  12. Oli

    love evils reactions - i think he will have a lot of fun with that little ping pong bastard …. poor gay *cry*

  13. Kris

    Perhaps the stress will make Gay shed out of season. Then he can really start feeling old.

  14. Heart of Blades

    Lol, poor Gay, he’s so devistate to be getting old. I’m curiouse to see if Prozac is just wanting everyone to calm down or if he has a plan

  15. pickles

    @colleen its a pink rhino not a pig

  16. tsophies

    Aww, bless Nerd’s troubled eye popping out from behind Gay’s head!

    I must say I don’t use soap on my face cause that is really drying, but I do use the cheapest store-brand stuff I can find, or I buy it on offer. I’m in the UK, but I make a point of not paying more than a pound for face stuff, as generally the price is hyped up by advertising and etc, and the cheap stuff works fine on my skin. As to face cream, I know that the baby lotions are really good, but try and avoid anything based on mineral oil, as it’s basically petroluem run off, and is a very cheap lubricant. Palmers cocoa butter is great, but that does have mineral oil in, and I sometimes find it a little too greasy for my face, but it’s great as a lip-balm!

    Hope this helps you! To be honest, above all it’ll depend on your skin-type, but Palmers is pretty good.

  17. Topazert

    “How about the most fun way?” Nice one Evil!!!

  18. DoggyGal

    I so love everything about this strip!
    I have never seen Evil so determined,yet doesn’t exactly fight his way through to get through something,especially being stopped by Lech!And there is also Prozac being depressed,and not even taking his pills,finally there is the bawling Gay over his…wrinkles*giggles*But hey,where’s little Tanked…?Either way,I like this strip^^:D

  19. Lea

    D’aw, poor Gay, at least he’s not gonna bash anyone in the near future (unless his breakdown is followed by a massive rage attack). But I’m really surprised at how Prozac of all bears is most interested in sparing the panda. After all, he was the one insulted by the little prick.
    Also, in my mind rolling up your fur in the way Evil does it must really hurt. oÒ WHY?

    I’m not wearing make-up very often and all the balm I’m using on my face is for cleansing purposes, it’s good enough so far, but then again I’m still a few years younger than you (and don’t have a kid). :P My girlfriend is wearing a lot of make-up, consequently she’s using more moisturizers to help her skin recover. As far as I know though, the product which worked best for her also was one of the more expensive ones. But that couldbe because her skin is rather dry and kind of special, so if your skind is friendlier with you, you shouldn’t have a problem finding cheap products that do the job.

    (…besides, this is about the first time I’ve heard the phrase “I’ve had a facial” in this sort of context, so it kind of cracked me up. I know, I have a dirty mind.)

  20. cerberus

    This is gonna be the fun way, right? RIGHT??!! The whole “wanna kill him, gotta kill him NEED to kill him” from the movie High Anxiety between nurse diesel and the stainless steel teeth guy comes to mind :D
    My wife uses a Dollar store hand lotion on her face, and she looks 30, she is (God hepp meh older than I am (50 in November. I’m only 48…HEH) KRAK-A-BOOM!! “EVIL HUSBAND DEFILER!! PREPARE FOR THINE OWN DOOM!!!) Cheap stuff for a good look is her motto. so….. you know….thats why she still keeps me around LOL!!

  21. Eacus

    Voodoo the lil prick

  22. changeling

    YES! Let Evil have his FUN! C8<

  23. Lucky

    Yay, thanks alot for post the pages of VERSUS at Facebook RAWR : D
    BTW, I love the behind jokes with Nerd and Gay today /o/

  24. phDexter

    I wonder what the are going to do. I hope, that they will work up a solution one day.
    By the way, did anyone noticed that the bears changed so much since the first page. They were smaller and looked a little plumped. I think they looked more cute then. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still an awesome comic, and I can hardly wait for the next page.

  25. phDexter

    And also yay for 23-24 comment!

  26. reccaman

    two conversation going on at the same time WOW! that was one the greatest of your I’ve read so far

  27. Tigerbitten

    The most fun (and evil) way is to let Gimp take a shot at the little Starlet! Seriously! Oh and you aren’t getting grey or wrinkly from Sammy; not yet anyway. Remember, right now he’s into diapers and spoons, eventually he’ll be a teenager.

  28. ThirdBear

    This is great. Gay’s trauma would have made a good comic by it’s self!

  29. Jennyusagi

    As far as skin - moisturizer with sunscreen every morning. I personally use Oil of Olay, but there is Aveeno and other brands too. Just the basic one with 15SPF. I’ve used it religiously since I was a teen and it does wonders. Mostly because the sun is the major contributor to skin aging.

  30. Benjamin

    Oh evil! you lovable scamp!

  31. Lea

    Tigerbitten, I think the same, but I also thought blatant homosexual Gay would be able to scare him enough. Sadly, Gay is now broken and won’t be much help.

    But generally: how about the next fight being Screaming Gay versus Emotional Gay? :) That should be interesting…

    SG: So you are trying to take me on? Even with your mad sewing skills, you still have the sense of style of a dead frog. And if you pout at me like that, your wrinkles show even more.
    EG: But… but… that’s so not true! How can you even say that, you… *sobs*
    SG: Cry me a river, you sissy. Maybe if swollen your eyes hide your crow’s feet a little.
    EG: *while sobbing* You are the meanest bitch I’ve ever encountered! I can’t believe you’re supposed to be me. All you’re doing is nagging and starting fights, what do you even want?
    SG: *pause* I was going to beat you in duel, but now that I think about it, it’s been a lonely life with all these straight guys around me, no romance, no affection through all these years…
    EG: So it’s your turfmates’ fault you’ve turned into a bitch?
    SG: That’s harsh! …but you’re right, you understand me so well, I’m sorry I yelled at you, forgive me?
    EG: *sniffles* It’s okay, we can be friends again if you want to.
    SG: Friends? Yes… that, and maybe something else. C’mere, mon cher.
    EG: Why? What are you up to now? Wait… not there… That’s where I’m most sensitiiiiiiivee~… *moans*

    And they made love happily ever after! :D
    (This or something like it… as long as there’s lovemaking involved)

  32. BoredStiffy

    Keep in mind Ping Pong might know Kung Fu, which would make any direct confrontation interesting. I say it is voodoo doll time. Or let Death come over and have a word with him. We haven’t seen much of him since the Coffee intervention.

  33. Aki

    Most facial treatments and costly moisturizers are way overrated and useless - just another way cosmetic companies feed on insecurity. My mother was told by a dermatologist that original Nivea lotion and face cream are the only things that really work, so if it’s not too pricey in Canada, you might try that. That’s what we’ve always used and everybody thinks we’re 10 years younger than we are, even after living under the southern California sun all our lives.

    Tip: NEVER rub downward on your face! That encourages your face to sag. We rub the cream in on the face and neck using our palms in nothing but upward strokes.

    Also, using the cream and lotion first makes sunblock cream go on more smoothly afterward.

  34. Angela

    Haha. Poor Gay. I can totally see him with face cream and cucumbers on his eyes. I guess at this point, that would be gross because the cucumbers would be rotten.

    Anyways, I used to use Aveeno face lotion and I liked that. But now I am trying the Neutrogena version of the ‘Proactive solution’. It was $20, but I still have a ton left after a month, so I think it will last at least 3 or maybe even 6 months. If you just want lotion, though, Aveeno is a good choice. I like their hand/body lotion, too.

  35. Enigma

    :3 no better yet get Death set up to near max on Coffee then let him loose on the Panda and let Evil have free run on what he can do to the Panda as well no rules no limits.

  36. Michelle

    I love how Evil thinks sometimes. xD

  37. Shadow

    I see no wrinkles gay…..I say let evil go nuts on him…then prozac…then death on coffee……………then angry nerd lol and to top it off thorw him to gimp >=D

  38. Ariane

    I giggled twice, while reading this… good thing my office is pretty low-key!

    I use a couple of drug store brands of face wash - clean & clear oil free, Biore’s steam activated one, and kinda bounce around a few others that run US$4-7. For moisturizers, I love Clean & Clear’s SOFT w/ SPF15. My skin is too dry to not moisturize though….

    If you want to keep things simple, though, make sure you are using a glycerin based soap (usually transparent, come in various colors) since that won’t be drying like the ones with “sodium laurel/laureth (sp?) palmate” which is usually an active ingredient in cheap shampoo….

    I am psyched about my copy of book 2 - it shipped this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. Chelsea

    You can try the Mary Kay Time Wise line, it is a little pricy but not overly so and it works really well. my mom had crows feet like crazy from having two teenagers in the house at the same time but she started using the time wise stuff and they are basically gone now and her skin is always super soft.

  40. Mandy

    Poor little Gay.. XD

    Maybe the soap you are using in the shower is drying your skin out. I don’t use soap on my face; however I don’t wear makeup. I take a hot shower, before I get out I scrub my hands on my face then get out and wipe with a towel. I have soft smooth skin with no blemishes no nothing. I rarely brake out and it doesn’t cost me anymore than the water.

    I just saw this on good morning America. I’ve tried both Boots and Olay products and the do work really well, though Poco’s idea about the baby lotion is really good.

  42. S.P

    I think that Gay needs to understand he’s fine as is.

  43. Artis.K

    umm i thought it was a PURPLE rhino on gays tum tum cuz that was the initial symbol for gays i was told.
    Umm i love how this whole comment page turned into skin care!!! Artistry is number one!! anywho…great page!! hahahah ooooh Ping Pong is goin to get it! lol…poor bears. i guess Tanked is somewhere drinking his cares away lol

  44. Artis.K

    Oh By the Way Alison i just put in my order for volume 1 and 2 I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!

  45. ren_chan

    aaaaaw!!<3 nerd is comforting gay(sort of)! sorry,my yaoi fan-girl-ness focuses on the nearest cute gay couple possibility ;)….is their possible gay bear+????? bear lovey-ness?please? ^_^ love your comic btw!!

  46. Summer

    http://keyssoap.com/ — all natural and effective, even on sensitive/problem skin. Don’t use the poison they sell at drugstores!

  47. Anulazuli

    At first I didn’t notice Gay/Nerd in the background. Then I did and I thought that Gay was making out with Nerd. Then I realized that they were just hugging, and Nerd was being weirded out.
    I don’t know what left me feeling slightly disappointed.

    Also; all for the bears kicking Ping-Pong’s arse. Too damn arrogant, and he deserves whatever Evil’s planning out for him. (hm…maybe they should shave Ping-Pong while he sleeps)

  48. snarkygurl

    I alternate between Neutrogena and Aveeno with great results. Beauty products aside, I love your artwork and I hope you don’t mind that I borrowed one of your zombies for a cheese cake. My friend loved it! I also gave her husband the link for the t-shirt.

  49. Chenata

    Poor Evil never gets to hit things….

    Also, Aveeno makes really goods facial moisturizers. I however use a Neutrogena or Biore moisterizer along with Tea Tree oil, I like the oil becasue it’s a natural antiseptic and it is a dry oil so it also helps with moisture, though you would have to stay away from the little one until it dried on your skin, Tea Tree oil is bad for babies.

  50. Katie

    Olay regenerist line.Microdermabrasion and peel kit for your mask and their micro sculpting creme (for around the eyes, mouth and neck). The body shops vitamin e intense moisture creme for a more everyday all over use too.

  51. Saiyza

    Hmm. Gay does have wrinkles.

  52. Tamara

    Oh my God, I LOVE Nerd’s facial expression in the first panel. Classic!

  53. Shada

    Go get him Evil! You too Lech! Double team the little jerk!

  54. Kenichi340

    That VS comic page just ached to look at. Breaks my heart to see Evil getting killed. lol

  55. Ketira

    You guys are making me giggle about skin products. I had oily skin in my youth (no blemishes ’til college, thanks to two bouts of tonsillitis & the anti-bacteria treatment), but now it’s going towards the combo (oily in T-zone, dry on cheeks) type, so I’ve had to try things out. Olay’s “regenerist” line made me break out all over, so I’m trying Aveeno’s & am liking the results so far. (Although if their eye cream doesn’t de-puff my eyes soon, I’m going back to Avon’s version. I know that worked!)

    But the past two comics were just classic; I never thought the panda would be such a snob!

  56. Ketira

    p.s. @Summer - if you’re getting your info from PETA, then I’d question the source. Those terrorists ruined my childhood! (Email me if you want details.)

  57. Cat

    This damn Panda is more evil than Evil Bear himself.

  58. Lupinseesyou

    I absolutely LOVE Nerds’ expression in the first panel, it makes me happy inside.

  59. beaufleur

    I LOVE the reactions of Lech and Gay …. somehow they were just SOOO appropriate!! ^^ Been using the cheapest Neutragena, light blue bottle of face wash and toner. They’ve been working very well. I usually only use soap too and figured that it was time to actually use real stuff. ^^ You know, the big girl stuff? :D

  60. ahaha

    i haven’t seen gimp in while…what’s he up to?

  61. Jooshbox

    you know what i like about this comic? well the answer is simple. this comic never fails to update with CONTENT THAT IS NOT ONE PAGE OF THE SAME THING AS LAST WEEK (so to speak) instead i find myself checking this site franticly for an update just in case due to the simple reason of it’s funny. there is always at least one thing to give me a good chuckle in ever page

    well there is the piece of my mind for this comic thank you very much for sharing it with us

    ~Jooshbox

  62. Solario the Visored

    Dude…this guy’s gonna end up have ALL NINE BEARS WORKING TOGETHER! O_O

  63. Ayla

    I love this page! Gay in the background is fantastic, not to mention the fact that I genuinely feel sorry for poor Nerd and his expressions of pain and confusion, and Lech and Evil are brilliant - Evil’s surprise at Lech’s outburst and his little ‘yeah!’. The last panel is hilarious, but seriously… the best bit is Gay and Nerd in the background of the penultimate one, where it looks like Nerd is being smothered to death. I laughed. I laughed a -lot-.

  64. dogbrains

    don’t know if you still get this here, but for facial crap, always go witch hazel. I prefer Rose’s since it’s actually made for cleaning. Witch hazel is an astringent and toner, you can buy Rose’s with aloe (rose scented, smells good and goes away fast) so it moisturizes also. One bottle is around $10, but lasts for about 5 months or so.
