As you may have noticed, there’s a slight change to the look of the Wilderness Guide. It’s mostly due to the switching to a new commenting system, that commenting system being DISQUS. So now you have more choices for commenting including Facebook as well as Twitter or the same way as before.

Also included at the top of the page is a link to my newest book, Tactless in the Face of Danger. It collects a bunch of strips from the first two and a half years of my other strip, Gary and Ted. So I greatly recommend pick up a copy (not just because I like money, I also like mailing things). Link to adventure!

Bears leave their natural habitat and participate in foolish activities. Observe them here.

Who wants Bear Factoid icons? Well you’re getting them anyway. Use them on message boards, messenger icons, or even sparkly MySpace gifs. Please save me on bandwidth and don’t hotlink directly, use an online image hosting site or save them on your hard drive (right click -> save as). Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to the first installment of the Zintel Wilderness Guide. Over the course of the next twelve months I will be your guide to the fascinating world of the ursine. I will touch upon everything from their social behaviour to dietary needs as well as offer technical illustrations to help illustrate my findings. Check here every Tuesday and Thursday for new research updates.  Also feel free to view my other research project about the interactions of extra terrestrial lifeforms in our modern world.

And please remember, don’t feed the bears
