Bear Nuts

Post by Phonox »

So, Bear Nuts(the web comic)! Bear Nuts is basically about the lives of nine psychotic bears at the Discount Zoo.

Anyway, the comic basically explains everything in the first few pages, so there's not much more I have to say.

Care Bears gone bad much.

Anyway I find it amusing, Death Bear has easily become my favorite character. There was a couple strips I liked but i can't find them now. But year I think Care Bears gone bad just about sums it up.

Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell

It's well drawn and it's got a much different setting than most web comics I read, so it's a nice change of pace. And yeah, Care Bears gone bad sums things up pretty well. It's not really my type of humor though, so I probably won't keep reading.

Very nicely drawn, and a creative idea. Funny, but not really my style of humor. All the same, I did enjoy it. And, yes, Death Bear is the man.

Interesting. The characters are pretty well established, and I like the interactions. The humor is lackluster comparatively, and repetitive at times. It makes my list of followings until I decide to clean it up (which I really ought to do).
Hmm... This signature just got really short...

Yeah, I find it kind of interesting that while on one side it's a slapstick comedy with plently of running gags, but on the other there's characters that aren't restricted to one dimensional personalities. Not to mention they actually have character development (Nerd standing up for himself) and backstories, like how Evil became who he is in the comic (wheras other authors might simply attribute this behavior in their character to them being a sociopath).

Death is one of my favorite characters as well, but I have to say Tanked is the absolute funniest, by his facial expressions alone (like the ones he makes in this comic, which also features Death's cool death powers :-D).

Geez, I had started reading this a while ago, but I forgot to post on it...

So yeah, humor's ok, but not really my style. I do like the characters for the most part, keeping in mind that they're a surprisingly accurate social commentary. And the art is fine, of course. Not a bad comic at all, but it's not my style.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

You know, I totally meant to lock this yesterday but I forgot so I'll give it one last week. Next Wednesday though, we're moving on.
