There’s a great new webcomic called Bear Nuts that I just ran across today.  Someone described it as “like Care Bears but twisted”.  It’s really great.  It’s about a bunch of bears in a zoo.  What’s not to love?  Maybe they could use some monkeys, but that’s just nitpicking.  Monkeys are awesome.  We need to do a Vlad with monkeys.

Anyway… Great artwork, beautiful coloring, funny characters.  Go check it out.

It’s been awhile since I did a Webcomics Other Than Us (WOTU), but I came across a comic that I thought would be worth sharing.

Today’s comic is Matter of Fact, a week daily single panel satire strip. This is the type of thing that Larson made famous with Far Side, so I’m sure you are all familiar with the format. Quick and easy reads, and you can jump in anywhere (even less character development than we do!). That being the case there isn’t much of a summary to provide, so just go and enjoy it.

EDIT: I particularly like this one and this one.  — Xeno

Vlad made a cameo today in another comic called Dressed in Black.  He’s hanging out with Death playing video games, very appropriate.

Thanks to Jan for that and for the link!  You should check out his comic.  It really is quite funny and dark.  Here’s a couple of favorites: #286 and #287.  Not particularly safe for work…

And it’s available in German and in English.   Good for practicing your German.  We should start writing Vlad in German.

Unfortunately, here’s the extent of my German:

Wo ist der Käse?
In meine Hose.

And my French:

Où est le fromage?
Dans mon pantalon.

And my Spanish:

Dónde está el queso?
En mis pantalones.

Yep.  Comes in handy throughout Europe.

Without my knowledge, or Xeno’s, Vlad the Vegan Vampire got nominated for a Beakie award, and it looks like we made it to the top 25 or so. Granted we didn’t win, but it’s still pretty cool. Always a nice feeling to know someone is enjoying all the effort we put into the strip!

Here is the link to the site. We are only briefly mentioned in the podcast, at around the 41 minute mark, and again at the 76 minute mark.
