Page 217
I had a lot of fun with this page, I love subtle interactions and drawing these two in particular, plus the coloring didn’t take very long thanks to the re-use backgrounds. I do notice now how big they both get by the last panel and it makes the animator in me cringe (ack! Poor volume consistency!) but then I wasn’t doing these on a light table so that’s my excuse. For all you Flash and etc. only animators who’ve never had to hand animate anything more complex than a bouncing ball let alone a 90 second multi-character beach setting girl-fight with lots of secondary action boob flapping (it’s a long story) then you may not quite understand… you see, I’m old.
Someone mentioned earlier that Gay should be happy that his good friends the elephants managed to procreate (Madge’s bad moods were totally hormone induced) and I agree. He was just caught up in the anguish of his inner diva when he realized the limelight would not be coming back for awhile. Once over that, Gay quickly took up the role of ‘Uncle Gay, Advisor on all things Gucci’.

Sorta makes you wonder how long they’re gonna take to drink all of that beer.
October 18th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Tanked could make friends with anyone and anything. =P
October 18th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Triss….what a way with words! I love this page too….
October 18th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Oh, Tanked. Ping Pong is so young, you can’t peddle alcohol to minors like that…
October 18th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Extending an olive branch, so to speak.
October 18th, 2010 at 8:00 pm

October 19th, 2010 at 12:13 am

October 19th, 2010 at 2:08 pm

October 19th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
Yay, acceptance! I still don’t like Vanity Bear, but if Tanked likes him enough to share a beer-toast with him, he surely can’t be all bad, huh? :D
October 19th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Ya know, Alisan, you’re one of the few web-comic artists I know about who convay so much info without dialogue.
……I wonder how pissed Prozac’s gonna be when he finds out Tanked, unintentional (Possibly, maybe), got Vanity drunk….
@Ran_chan I remember the first time I got drunk, went and saw a fireworks festival afterwards and one of my friends kept thinking we were being shot at! *vacant expresion* Good times…….
October 20th, 2010 at 9:36 am
This is absolutely adorable! This is why I love Tanked so much.
The picture of Gay and Ella was really cute.
October 20th, 2010 at 9:54 am
I just love Tanked in the last picture, he looks so cute!
October 20th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Where in the world does Tanked keep getting the beer? Maybe Vanity will be a bit easier to get along with drunk.
October 20th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Woo Tanked!
October 20th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Awww… Tanked is great at making new friends!
October 20th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Beer. It brings us together.
October 20th, 2010 at 12:18 pm

October 20th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Aww, Tanked is so cute.
October 20th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Tanked is such a good friend! He’s adorable.
October 20th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Aww, Tanked has a new friend lol
October 20th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
@Teguso
A magical place.
October 21st, 2010 at 9:00 am
Holy crap Tanked! Beer for him already?! Dang.. Surprised that I didn’t see Prozac or someone else stopping him..
In other news: Love the new Bear Bios page! Can’t wait until the two mystery bears at the bottom come out. (I already know who they are but I won’t spoil it for any of you. ;) )
October 21st, 2010 at 4:42 pm
@ThatVocalist: Prozac left the area, so he wouldn’t know what Vainity was getting in to. Besides, do you really think the other bears would stop him?
October 21st, 2010 at 7:16 pm
FRIDGE BRILLIANCE!
Tanked + Ping Pong? BEER PONG!
October 21st, 2010 at 9:23 pm
What will be Vanitys reaction? Find out on the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball- I mean Bear Nuts :3
October 21st, 2010 at 11:38 pm
awww i loved tanked. I agree….gimpy should join in. The two bears would be great friends with vanity.
April 6th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
I figured. See, Tanked’s nice to everyone, so naturally it would be very hard to hate him. Friendly Tanked!
