This comic marks our 300th comic. Over the last seven years and four months since we first started Being Bears we have published 300 stories. Both Being Bears and our other series, Bears of Lore are a collaborative effort between my wife Laura and I (we call ourselves Bears Ink) and we absolutely love what we do.

While at times it can be challenging, these comics have become a part of us. Every story is motivated by our real lives, with some embellishment of course, while some (like the Bread Wars) are told exactly as it happened. We get nothing but pure joy from sharing our comics and our lives with all you lovey readers.

Despite a tough year, we kept the momentum going with Being Bears and managed to complete the second chapter of Bears of Lore with the third chapter already in the works for next year. Both comics, will continue for as long as I can draw and we hope that you will continue to enjoy our adorable bears.

Whether you’ve been following us from since the beginning, or just discovered us today, we humbly say Thank You.

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful and joyous holidays, however you and your loved ones celebrate.

With lots of love,
Hayden & Laura
