Nerd’s new “look” is growing on me :) I imagine that “style” would be rather hard for him to maintain though…
Somewhat of an update from last week: BOTH boys slept through the night on Wed. I should have known better than to get optimistic after only one night but I couldn’t help it and sure enough neither made it through the whole night on Thursday and dashed my frail hopes once again. And then Owen had a conniption, or a nightmare, or indigestion, or it was just his turn to be a prick, or whatever on Sat night and had to be walked for 20 minutes around 2 am. Did I mention my husband tends to sleep through this stuff? Or he just can’t hear it over his own snoring.
Babies are still cute though, kind of.

Letch did NOT deserve to get grounded.
March 26th, 2012 at 12:08 am
…This all came out of the polar bears kidnapping and abusing Nerd. Why the heck are they grounded for something the polar bears started? Especially Letch, why the heck is Letch even grounded? This makes no sense.
March 26th, 2012 at 12:18 am
Grounded? Can he do that?
March 26th, 2012 at 12:53 am
well, unless the next chapter takes place like a few months from this time nerd could have that look for awhile.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:22 am
LoL ahhaahha Crack cracks me up :D (U MAD BRA!?!?!)
March 26th, 2012 at 1:27 am
lol, leech got an ear infection he didn’t deserve, but evil deserved more than what he got… as did nerd.

I honestly don’t blame Nerd. Really. He was the victim of being bullied, and he reacted. He was bearnapped, spray painted and his belongings stolen from him with the threat of them being damaged (can’t remember if they did break it or did tanked later on. ) But, I don’t blame him, and while his fur will grow back, and people think, there was no lasting damage, deep down, yes, there was. The end result with Steve loosing his arm, wasn’t what he had in mind. To make the polar bears feel as helpless as he did, yes, Every bullied child wishes that. Had Prozac stepped in and Stopped the polar bears when they started at the beach, none of this would have happened.
The answer to having your husband deal with the crying child is to take the child back to your bed and lay the child next to your husband. Not only will you be back at your bed, your husband will be up as well and then he can take care of him. Someday soon, your kids will be reading all of this, and saying Mummy, whats a parasite? :D Every child sets their own pace. they will be potty trained before you know it. :D

Babies are cute!! Maybe you should do a baby photo of all the bearnuts… (I think we have seen Prozac and Tank as a baby so far?) actually what would be cuter is if you could sew a bear suit for the twins and Sam too ~~ :D
March 26th, 2012 at 6:12 am
I don’t know which i get more of a kick out of, the comic or the life updates lol. (not laughing at your misery simply the situation that I dread). hmmm might have to agree with lech being (somewhat)unfairly punished.
March 26th, 2012 at 7:12 am
Aw, I feel bad for Lech, too xD He was the hero of the arc in my eyes. Or at least made an effort to be one.
March 26th, 2012 at 7:28 am
I have to hand it to you, I am very impressed that even with your new children, you’ve managed to steadily update the comic. I’ve seen many other web comics come to a complete stand still for months or even a year after the author has children.
March 26th, 2012 at 7:43 am
Interesting angle in panel two there. You don’t see three-point perspective in web comics very often. :)
I agree with Jordan–I think it was Lech who really shone in this arc. Pro just did what Pro does, but Lech, he definitely stepped out of his usual Team Lecherous Evil role. I knew he had it in him. But I won’t say whose. Ooo! See what I did there? :twisted:
I think Jeremy’s right, too. It really is impressive that the strip has consistently moved forward with not one, not two, but three babies to draw serious attention away. I think we’ve ALL seen web comics grind to a halt for far smaller distractions.
March 26th, 2012 at 8:26 am
This comic is awesome! I discovered it last week and I read it all twice! And We already ordered the books
My sister (9 years old) found me reading the comic so i had to read it all another time translating the entire comic in italian (yeee italian fans!). I translated censuring here and there maintaining the meaning and now she keeps talking about the comic, she even dreamed that she was marrying Death (her favourite Character but she could not because everytime they thouched she paralyzed. Now I can only think “What have I done?”…
Anyway Lech doesn’t deserve that it was his way of protecting someone… But I can’t blame Prozac, they ripped an arm, despite it was an accident, a really serious accident… It’s hard to judge them because they wanted to do something bad with Steven doll but the didn’t want to do something so bad… A vengance from the Polar Bears was understandable.

“I imagine that “style” would be rather hard for him to maintain though…”
NO problem at all – haven’t you ever seen someone who gets a *f*r*e*e* haircut from the beginners at a Barbers College?
March 26th, 2012 at 9:11 am
Ya, I’m beginning to think Alison’s a superhero. Between freelancing, 3 kids, waking babies, Jim’s snoring, and this web comic, that calculates to somewhere between -2 to -5 hours of time left in the day to sleep. Must have super powers.
March 26th, 2012 at 10:10 am
Like everyone else, I don’t think Lech deserved to be grounded. Crack with that spray made me laugh.
March 26th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
I can understand Evil and Nerd being grounded, but all Lech did was take the blame so nobody would get hurt. He failed, but he tried. He should get some points for that
March 26th, 2012 at 12:58 pm
What exactly IS Crack spraying in Lech’s ear? At first, I’m thinking it’s some kind of disinfectant or something, but then I saw the skull and crossbones… hmm…. *Gasp* It must be PIRATE SPRAY!! YARRR
March 26th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Another thought on Lech’s grounding…this isn’t just about the Polars it’s about exposure of their real lives to the zoo staff. Lech was making a spectacle of himself, hero or not. So that may add to the grounding. Although, frankly, perhaps none of them should’ve been grounded as the polars started it all. That said, voodoo dolls were an explicit no-no, as is appearing in public as anything but a “normal” bear. ;)
March 26th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Great comic. Keep the faith on the babies. They’ll sleep soon. :) Keep up the great work as a cartoonist and mommy. :)
March 26th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
@iamry “Pirate spray”. :D Is Crack hoping to turn new touchy-feely Lech back into the old bragging swashbuckler?
March 26th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
But I like White Knight Lech ;_;
March 26th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Lech totally did nothing wrong… -_-
March 27th, 2012 at 12:29 am
Nope, Lech shouldn’t be grounded for trying to save the monkey from a horrible fate. But I suppose he might be grounded because it kinda looks like he tried to cover up Nerd and Evil’s misdeed?
And, also, Nerd. A bit of missing fur will grow back better than Steven’s arm. It was totally worth it.
March 27th, 2012 at 12:32 am
And ocrap! There’s no “End” thing in the corner! Is there still some more stuff to happen in this arc?!
March 27th, 2012 at 10:13 am
@kath: As cute as the idea is, however, that’s hazardous to the child and could even be fatal (potential suffocation from the pillows, heavy blankets, restless sleeping bodies and/or crushing injuries). But yeah, moving babies crib closer to you guys would be a good idea.
March 27th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
Heh! I don’ think that’s “pirate” spray. I think it’s poison. :D It’s most likely a disinfectant that would be bad to ingest.
March 27th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
@silverfang16: “Lech totally did nothing wrong… -_-”
At least, not on camera. ;)
Hey! What happened to the monkey? :O
March 28th, 2012 at 12:33 am
Yay, Alison got another print at Woot!

Just note that they’re no longer American Apparel shirts, so the sizing is completely different now – watch the chart before ordering.

“*Gasp* It must be PIRATE SPRAY!! YARRR,, aaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahh hahahhaha oooo ohhhahahaha OMG :D nice one !!! @Sterling Rodd: ,,Ooo! See what I did there?“ AWWW YEA I SHORE DID c(-: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJY2eNvvsrE

Push him out of bed, than when he looks at you, you say “since you are up, look in on the kids, please.”:)
March 30th, 2012 at 2:36 am
Like all parent when they are angry Prozac blames everyone. Lech got involved when he should have stayed out of it therefore he should be grounded. Retaliation for past injuries just leads to more problems. Nerd was only humiliated but the polar bear was maimed for life. I reckon that they all got what they deserved.
March 30th, 2012 at 4:18 am
Babies are cute so parents don’t kill ’em. ;)
March 30th, 2012 at 8:51 am
Is it weird that the thing I find most adorable on this page is Evil’s scrunched up belly image? Anyway, loving the comic keep being awesome!
March 30th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
@Runty if a kid is crying hard enough to wake a parent, there is little chance for the parent to still stay asleep and roll over on the child. I know we havn’t heard HIS side of the story of why he is ignoring the crying, (yes it is grand to get sleep) but its totally not fair for one spouse to do all of the night duty. Sleep deprivation is dangerous for everyone involved. The idea is to get HIM up and dealing with the kids crying on a regular basis and allow Mom to get some much needed sleep. If the kid is right there, he really can’t ignore what is going on, can he
As for the spray, it would probably be some sort of disinfectant, windex maybe?? (they used it for everything in the movie My big fat greek wedding)

Can Bears really be grounded?
