For non-Brits, to understand this comic you need some background:

– Hovis (Fovis in the comic), is a well known, slightly premium bread brand that makes ok bread.
– Warburtons (Farburtons) is a bread brand that has some questionable reputation, such that in real life, the high-end supermarket chain, Waitrose (Faitrose), stopped selling them
– Laura used to work for Waitrose, and she has loyalty issues.
– Now a few years ago, Warburtons, paid the legend Samuel L. Jackson to star in their ad campaign.

This comic is 100% a real argument we had in Lidl between the both of us about bread. I’m a fan of SLJ if the man says the bread is good, I’m buying the bread! Laura, on the other hand, insists I am “easily impressionable”. I think she is brainwashed by Waitrose. This argument is so ridiculous that its going to need a part 2.

This comic is inspired by a genuinely weird, recurring moment in our lives. We never go for a walk or visit the allotment without a thermos of tea. The problem is, sometimes we only bring one mug (i.e. the thermos’ cover). The wait for a certain someone to finish their sip and pass the cup can feel like an eternity. One day, I was caught in a deep, desperate stare (at the mug) and this is the hilarious, resulting conversation.

Another holiday, this time down in Cornwall during September. It was the typical Cornish weather: rain, with intermittent sun! Typical!

Still, we made the most of it, had a lot of fun, and one of the highlight was definitely seeing wild grey seals!

The time sure flew by. Once again life has gotten in the way. For the last month and a half, I haven’t had time to actually work on a comic. Hope you enjoy this one.

We’re back this week with a brand new Being Bears. It’s a fun and silly idea, as are all being bears. Poor bears are just trying to pick up their clothes (yeah clothes. Didn’t guess bears wear clothes?)

It’s been a hot minute since we posted a Being Bears comic. If you have been following our other comic, Bears of Lore, you would have known that lots has been happening personally. While we haven’t had much time for our comics, we are still dedicated to making our lovely little comic. Especially since we are nearing the 300th episode!!!

Today’s comic is based on a true story. In July we went to Arthog/Fairbourne in Snowdonia National Park, Wales for 6 days. I went for a Charcoal Art School and one evening we took this lovely bridge towards Barmouth for dinner. on our way back the tide was very high and we had fun seeing all the large jellyfishes.

Its berry season and our berry hedge on our allotment is doing wonderful. We’ve gotten loads of berries this year, and there are still more to come. This is a fun little comic on our berry picking.

Side note, the “one for mouth, one for basket” is from the Realms and Peril Glory podcast where they played the Witch is Dead.

Hey folks, another Being Bears that’s based on a truish story. Yes , I did try to bite the tofu bites from Laura’s hands, and yes I failed and I’m not ashamed!

This episode is based on a true story/conversation/squeeze!

First, apologies. The last couple weeks have been very tough. Laura had (and still does) important assignments and we didn’t have the time to complete any comics (both Being Bears and Bears of Lore).

But we have some time now and managed to get this one completed. Its a sort of continuation of the previous comic and based on a real, hilarious discussion.

—- update —
Big Bear’s comment about Biologists and maths is a comment I actually made, and it is somewhat influenced by the Physicist Lawrence Krauss. In 2012/2013 Prof. Krauss gave a lecture at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. At the time I was pursuing a PhD in Radio Astronomy. In his lecture, he put up an equation (I can’t recall the equation) and he said, in jest (and I am paraphrasing): “To the Biologists in the room, this is an equation. The term on the left equates the expression on the right!” So when Laura was trying to figure out the maths in her Advanced Systems Biology class, I made that comment (after I asked about conditions and she got exasperated).
