Trend Setting
Posted on July 9, 2014 by p.j.
I've always wanted to use the phrase "beard of bees" in a comic strip.  So when the opportunity arose...  

 ************ Important!! **************

Just a gentle reminder, Next week, I shall be enjoying a much needed vacation with the family beach-side. Good Lord, does this mean Flatt Bear will cease and desist?  To that I say fear not!  Flatt Bear will continue on despite my well-timed absence. Starting Monday, and running all five days, it will be guest week.  But wait, you say, Flatt Bear only updates three days a week.  How can this be?  Is this some kind of joke?  To that I say it's true!  I had such great a response from some awesome artists,  that I can run a strip a day everyday next week.  In fact, I had such great response, I have more than enough material.  That means guest week will be actually be guest week-and-one-day.  So look for some great stuff from some very talented and generous artists starting Monday.

    Hope he’s not allergic to bee stings… but I guess natural selection may have taken that trait out of the bear genome a long time ago.

      But the pain genome…

    If I had a beard of bees, I bet the girls would call me “Honey”.

      One of the… perks of growing a beard of bees. Heh heh. See what I did there…. Don’t hate me….

    I bet the honey will make Duffy’s face fur sticky & matted. This is the very 1st time I’ve seen a Beard O’ Bees in a comic of any sort. Congratulations PJ you history maker you
    Looking forward to the guest strips & have a great time with your family at the beach.

    There’s a close shave coming whether you want it or not! Duffy looks quite distinguished with that beard, actually.

      I think he’ll change his mind about it being a good idea though, in a few seconds.

    And no poking of the beard while your at it, Duffy! 😉

    Technically, wouldn’t his whole body be bearded? 🙂

      True.

Give me my comments. I need validation.
