Bear Trees

 

Or should it be:

But perhaps:

I could not decide which version I liked best so here are three of them. When drawing these, I was reminded of an old commercial for Discover Card where there's a guy with loads of frogs in his house asking about frog protection and the agent over the phone is like, yeah we have fraud protection.

Explanation: "Bare" means empty, like a tree in winter. "Bear" is an animal. Both words sound the same, hence the confusion in this set of comics.

Text:

Patron: I commissioned a landscape painting of bare trees - what is this?!?
Artist: These are bear trees - see them peeking through the leaves?
OR
Artist: There is at least one bear in every tree - what more could you want?!
OR 
Artist: "Bear Trees" features several varieties - this tree has a koala while this one has a grizzly. 

Bear Optometry

 

Happy belated Birthday to my niece!
There's a song about a bear who went over a mountain to see what he could see. And that's about the whole song, you just repeat that a bunch. OH apparently there's a second verse that says all that he could see was the other side of the mountain. How riveting. And now I'm thinking about that joke that says not all construction jobs have the same level of excitement - enlarging holes is boring but fastening things together with small pieces of metal is riveting. Also, did you get the pun in the doctor's name? I heard it in a tv show, I think it was Heroes. I am failing to find my source because there are a lot of real-world "doctors" who are considered "heroes" who are named "Seymour" and/or "Clearly" so I need to up my search parameters. Or just take my word for it - I'm pretty sure they show a business card with that name on it. 

Explanation: A bear with poor eyesight needs glasses so he can go over a mountain to see what he can see, like the song says.

Banner: Dr. Seymour Clearly, O.D. Optometry
D: Soon, you will be able to go over that mountain!
Bear: *happy*

Ninth Commandment

My pastor did a series through the Ten Commandments and I thought about the ninth commandment which says bear false witnesses are a no-go. Please note I know what bearing false witness actually is. But to think of it this way is much more entertaining. Also, I totally don't trust that bear.

Text:
Bear: The innocent guy totally did it.
M: It's a bear false witness!

In the Spirit of Christmas

Someone gave me the towel below, and I thought up this comic.
