Nanook, bear god of the Inuit people, seems to be pretty lazy these days. You would think that with shrinking ice for the polar bears and destruction of habitat for grizzlies and black bears, he would be laying some extinction on humanity. Turns out, he’s been sleeping. Leave it to Lil K to wake him up and destroy us all in his zeal.
How old is he anyway? A few strips back had him saying he was eleven and now he says he is eight. I guess that’s what you get for not having real parents and living with a Sasquatch.
I recently fixed my computer and started using Photoshop’s 32bit edition rather than the 64 I had been using and it is a lovely experience. Everything runs so much more smoothly for some reason. I have been feeling better about the art because of it, lately.
Also, we here at 10km are doing a group comic soon! To fill in the days of the week when neither Happle Tea nor Para-Ten are updating, we will be featuring a sketch comic done by William, Jessica, and myself. Pages will be done on a rotation (probably Jess -> Me -> William) and we will have no prior knowledge of what the previous person has done until they are finished with their page. Sound interesting? Sit tight, we will try to have it on the site in a few weeks.

wonderful! also I love lil k’s backpack 🙂 excellent touch. i’d imagine the week before he had a shark backpack.
This one was brilliant! Looking at Nanook though, my mind couldn’t get rid of the thought “Hey, he looks like a Pokemon”
Was he interested in the sharks and bears because of Discovery Channel weeks of vicious animals? You know, one day the Discovery Channel will be extinct and I’ll I will remember is that coconuts kill more people yearly than sharks.
Ha ha ha. The way you drew Nanook is awesome. I love the yellow pattern things.
Shouldn’t Nanook be all up in the icy north? Or an ice forest at least? Maybe times are tough for bears because Nanook is on vacation in the jungle.
unbearably adorable. augh
pun unintended, actually.
It is an ice jungle.
the reason hes not doing anything is because hes hiding from the vengeful spirit of Teddy Roosevelt
He can’t be 8, when he went back in time, he went back 9 years to talk to littler K.
this is my favorite strip so far
the attention span of kids and their intense, yet short lived, interests entertain me to no end. kids are amazing people.
i also love how the strip has much more going for it (global warming, treason, bear gods) and yet i only see it as ‘kids are silly’
I don’t have a short attention sp– Hey look! A squirrel!
Shrinking ice caps are good for the polar bears, though. It means seals won’t be able to have their babies out on ice floes, so polar bears don’t need to go swimming and can just eat seals on the shore. And it means that polar bears will start having brown pelts again, which we know from those born in captivity is something that happens to polar bears if they live in warmer climates during their infancy, and is probably related to how they’ve lived in historic periods less chilly than the one we’re leaving.
