Bear With Me

Bear with me is a weekly updated online comic series created by Tim "Bruin" Vanderburg that chronicles the life of Andy McCubbin, a bear living in Madison, Wisconsin. According to Bruin, thematically speaking, Bear Like me is about :

"Sometimes, you feel like a bear...sometimes, you don't.

This is the main theme behind "Bear With Me" and the reason why the main characters go in and out of Bear Mode. When the boys are on the top of their game and all's right with the world, they see themselves as Bears; pull the rug out from under them, and they revert to their human seeming. The rest of the world sees the gang as regular people, but our guys....? It's a Bear Thing."

Bear With Me is updated every (or at least most) mondays. The first comic strip was put up on January 2, 2002 and did not include color. Since then, Bruin's drawing and coloring style and technique has changed considerably. Though originally entirely hand drawn and with hand written writing, computer coloring and writing are now applied to make a more clean and clear looking image.
