106


A few months ago, I had this idea for a comic strip about Bipolar Bear. The basic premise was that it was about a polar bear who had these insane mood swings, hence "bi-polar" bear (I love stupid puns). Anyway, I drew a couple of tryout sketches (like the one you see above). I should have posted this then, because it would have been more topical at the onset of summer, rather than early August. But I felt like I wanted to keep the character to myself for a while, to explore the possibilities of the concept. I even wrote about five pages of script for a Bipolar Bear story...
...but that's a story for another time.

Oops double post. Sorry.

I agree with Vega. I'm thinking GAD Killer Whale and OCD Penguin as sidekicks!

BPB's hand looks creepy though, too human.. But that's just my Disney-mind controlled opinion

Vega can barely contain herself! How awesome!

Hmmm, I totally see what you mean about the hand.
Bipolar Bear was actually gonna get two penguins as roommates in my story.
Which, by the way would also be part of the joke: since polar bears live in the southern hemisphere and penguins in the southern hemisphere, I figured a Bipolar Bear could have a summer home in antarctica. "Bi-polar," get it?
Sigh, I put way too much thought into this.
