Steve: "Oh no! Look Beaver! Bears!"

Panel 2

Beaver: "Don't worry Steve, we'll be quite safe as long as we don't get between the mother bear and her cub."
Steve: "Hmm... Really?"

Panel 3

Beaver: "Steve!"
Steve runs up to the mother bear, and NYAHH!s at her, though she doesn't react at all.

Panel 4

Steve TOOT TOOTs a bugle at the bear while holding up an ALL BEARS ARE SISSIES sign. The bear continues to ignore him.

Steve: "Well, I guess you were right, Beaver"

Steve's eyes turn to the bears.

Panel 8

Steve walks around to the right hand side and LIFT!s the bear cub.
Steve: "Hrnk!"

Beaver (in small text): "Oh dear"

Panel 11

Steve winces as the bears ROAR!, and Beaver goes AAAH! as the bears MAUL! and REND! him offpanel. Beaver shouts out about MY DUODENUM! as well.
Steve: "Ah, the tranquil majesty of nature..."

Fun Facts

• The ground in this comic was not originally intended to be covered in snow as James had not got around to finishing the grass due to a migraine.
  • After a long, hard fight with the fanbase (or more like two forum posts and James agreeing to doing less work [1]), he agreed not to finish the comic as originally intended and leave the snow.
• You will be quite safe from mother bears so long as you do not get between them and their cubs.
• Bears either cannot read, or do not mind people proclaiming that all bears are sissies.

References

• The duodenum is the first and shortest portion of the small intestine.
