A bear

I hope you have had time today.

As far as I can tell, I am always a bear.

Comic, 4 panels. A bear thaws out of ice progressively in each. The last one has no ice. Words: “Sometimes it does not feel like anything moves at all. All the difficult things stay stuck. But it is good to know that with a little heat the ice will melt. I am a bear.”

I hope you are not stuck. I am a bear.

Sometimes I think about how the forest seems unaware of me, but then I trip and fall. I am a bear.

I hope you continue to be the thing that you are and want to be. I am a bear.

Bear comic. A bear gets on a school bus that, for some reason, lets him on. It’s called “worried wanderer.” The words go: I used to worry when I wandered. Since I get yelled at a lot. They still yell at me. But I do not worry much now. I am a bear. The third panel has someone yelling “ahh” and another yelling “yay” and one more yelling “everybody run! I thought that bear was a kid again!”

I still get yelled at a lot, but I do worry about it less now. I am a bear.

Bear comic called No Bouncing. Four panels. A bear finds a trampoline and does not bounce on it. Instead, they just nap on it. Text goes: I am a real bear. So if I find one of these.. there will be no bouncing. Just napping. I am a bear. In very small text on the bottom of the page is this: A bear would never use generative AI. Neither should you! Thank you.

I prioritize napping over bouncing. I am a bear.

To cool off try climbing over a fence and accidentally falling in a large pool of water filled with people who are now throwing things at you but you can ignore those things and enjoy the calm water as it eases the heat from your world weary bones and maybe they will leave hotdogs, too. I am a bear.

I do not know what I am not supposed to do. I am a bear.

Comic. A bear melting over four panels because the sun is very mean. Words: I am not allowed to melt. Even if I would like to. I am a bear.

My summer fur is glowing. I am a bear.

I believe we are all creatures, and being a creature means being sleepy and unsure what to do and often hungry.

If you look hard enough, you can find many opportunities to sleep and not do things. I am a bear.

There so many birds and they all seem unaware of me.

Please remember to thank the lizards. They do so much.

I can blend in with the dirt I nap on.

I wait to be lifted up by the wind like the leaves and it never happens likely because I am not doing it right. I am a bear.

If you find me in the forest, please know that I likely do not know what is going on in that exact moment. I am a bear.

Four panel comic of a bear walking into a store and pulling a red hat out of a box. Text: “In a brand new place… …I try to switch myself to… …something I am not. I am a bear.” Also, someone is shouting a bear getting into the store in the second panel.

I find myself in places that are new often because I do not usually know where I am. I am a bear.
