I Smell The Sweet Smell Of Freedom!

Rough day, so real quick one.

A Confession:
Yesterday i used the truth like a politician. I made a statement that, while completely factual, created a false impression to sell a lie. Kids, they do this all the time and you've got to watch and listen and question what they say at every turn. Especially when you agree with them, because that's when they can sell you other lies most easily. And when they're apologizing - beware of overly specific statements. (Weasel Words we used to call 'em)

I said that Justice And The Bear was a one-shot story, not a series. That's completely true, in and of itself.

But, it's also a lie. Eric St. Clair and Bob Eisman did ongoing strips for Treasure Chest Of Fun & Fact featuring The Bear, or - in this case - The Timid Bear...

As you can see, it is the same series, and it isn't. Time and reality are servant to the stories, but The Bear goes on...
