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).

Based on a partially true story. Laura is doing a biology degree part-time and one of the classes is (as I understand) has some maths and coding. I was sleeping (I had the day off) when she texted me about needing my brain to understand the maths. Although, I probably would be spinning on my chair If I was working.

I work from home and once or twice a week, I would work in the office when Laura has classes at the university (which is in the city my office is based). After covid, my company moved to a flexible working scheme and I don’t have a dedicated desk, instead I have to book a desk that has a screen, keyboard and a mouse. One time I forgot my personal wireless mouse at home and had to use the one on the desk. I actually cleaned it with hand sanitiser! *shudder*

Two weeks ago, I got really ill. Laura took care of me and then she got ill, I got a bit better and had to take care of her. For more than a week we were both really ill, taking care of one another.

Another real conversation and a call back to Episode 272: Coffee
