'BEAR' was a bi-monthly comic book published by Slave Labor Graphics, which spawned 10 issues, two collected books, and even toys and t-shirts. It followed the tale of Bear, a talking stuffed teddy bear who was endlessly tormented not only by the world outside, but trapped in the confines of his idiot owner Karl's house by the deranged cat Looshkin.

Driven by hysteria, Looshkin's methods were a constant onslaught of violence, cutlery, and whatever body fluids he could muster. All the while, poor Bear is reduced to stitching himself back together, ready for the next torment the world has to throw at him.
