Fatherly Intimidation
EDIT: Tuesday’s Nerf This will post during the day hours. Sorry, for the inconvenience 🙁
I am happy to inform you that I am completely cured of the flu/disease that probably claimed the countless lives of most animals smaller than a cat. AND the book is fully funded! The book will be off to the printer this week, and by December, I believe this things will be in the mail to everyone. I can’t thank you all enough, you’re an awesome bunch, and I’m in your debt.
It’s how the bear would’ve wanted to have gone.
Hell, its how I want to go.
If it makes you feel any better, I would wear you, my friend.
Thank you, that mean’s a lot to me.
Can you be my hat?
Dear sir. It appears I already AM!
-__q’
I’ve noticed there is a knife very close to his crotch going through the front of the bears head. oh my.
Blasphemy! Mr. Mills is a member of the kill things with your bare hands club! He doesn’t need a knife!
(Which begs the question…why is it there?)
Decoration.
Nothing keeps you warm like warm, bloody fur.
That look on Chase’s face is the look of someone that knows that they are about to do something incredibly detrimental to one’s health, but are unable to stop themselves.
Come on, Chase… man up!
is it just me, or does the knife in the bear’s head look like it would poke around in some mighty uncomfortable ways?
That’s a knife? The handle looks like a tiny top hat, tilted at an angle.
I’VE BEEN LIVING A LIE
So has the cake ;D
ba dum chuuu!
Wasn’t the word “Berserker” taken from the Viking’s word for someone who wears the pelt of a bear?
That said…
MY LOVE FOR YOU IS LIKE A TRUCK…
Not exactly as we remember it; many vikings wore bear pelt for clothing: “berserkers” were close-combat specialists – and were usually the drunken/drugged ones too!
But, accordingly to the “Older Edda” (Old Danish/Norse/swedish mythology/litterature) berserkers were close-combat specialists, who, before battle, entered a trance due to being drunk or drugged and they went on rampages.
They also were Odins (THE god in viking mythology) special warriors – and their clothing, accordingly to the Edda, was a pelt of a wolf.
*Uninteresting stuff is uninteresting* -soz for me bad english, if i made any mistakes up there.
Yeah. The berserkers were pretty much the male counterpart to the valkyries, who are, at least in my opinion, way more badass than berserkers. 😛
Except, they were not related to the Valkyries at all. While the Valkyries were the mythological selectors of which of those who died in battle would join Odin in Valhalla (Val meaning something like ‘dead’, kyrie something like ‘chooser’ and hall means ‘hall’.)
The berserkers were actual warriors who entered into a frenzy (hopefully before battle, but this wasn’t always the case), exactly how is a matter of debate. Although they were considered warriors of Odin (probably based on they were powerful, but more then a bit unreliable, in that they were known to kill indiscriminately), that is a far cry from the Valkyries.
That all said, the word berserker does trace its origins back to the bear skins they would don.
I was under the impression that the word stemmed from “baresark”,
meaning “bare chest”, or basically going without traditional armor.
It’s entirely possible I’m wrong, though.
Well they did also go out without traditional armor, so you are also correct.
Never say “I want to bang your daughter hard” to a guy wearing bear pelts…that he killed…with his hands…marriage too…not a good idea…soo logic says…DO IT FOR THE LULZ
That ain’t logic! That’s the Troll. The Troll… in all of us.
Keep up the good work, Sir Scotticus!
For Teh LULZ!
Joe
Don’t ya think with Chase being all covered in blood and having multiple wounds it would be the best time to ask? I’m sure Taryn’s dad has more respect for him now than he ever has.
I second that notion!
Ditto!
Why…why is that man made of crystallized nightmare!?
The whole fighting bears thing was all for this moment wasn’t it, to make one of the most intimidating moments in life a zillion times worse.
Hahaha, my thoughts exactly.
And to get him wearing that awesome bear bits suit.
So intimidating.
I just want Taryn’s dad to stop being such a choad. And for Chase to stop losing my respect. I had it there for him….and it’s run away again. 🙁
Excellent Scout Crossing reference.
Bears hate grunge music. Mr. Mills hates bears. Ifso facto, Mr. Mills loves grunge.
This strip reminds me of early Chase and his Koala Bear Accessories, 05/01/2009
Altough the vicious koalas haven’t been heard of for quite a while now I have found that they have yet to cease their perfidious acts. As proof I present to you:

That is so true. Maybe Chase and Taryn’s dad have something in common. Kind of.
Well, you have to admit, Nergil might have been a powerful, immortal shadow being, but Mr Mills is… scary.
I probably would not advise using “BRICK!” at this moment.
This comment is filled to the brim with win.
Believe me, thats not a knife…..
It better not be a knife, considering that Mr. Mills is a member of the Kills Things With Their BARE Hands club…that’d be cheating!
Yeah but he could of just used the knife to skin the dead bear
He just needed the knife to cut that length of rope he’s using as a belt. And then stuck the knife in the bears’ head because he needed somewhere to store it.
Although, I would never consider storing any sort of edged weapon that close to my parts.
No! You’re awesome! You’ve always been awesome! Ohhh~~Youuuu!
I find myself oddly aroused by this..
I was scared I was the only one.
DO IT NOW, CHASE!!! DO IT WHILE YOU’RE STILL WOOZY FROM ALL THE BLOOD LOSS!!!
It would appear that I’ve acquired your illness. Also I’ve lost my inspiration when I’m performing on the first. Damn you!
logic blurt it out now!
Geh. Rather be fighting Nergil than have to face up to Papa Bearkiller
Best. Codpiece. Evaaaaaah! He would make all those ninnies from renaissance period shit bricks!
That knife kinda looks like a hat… and from where is was placed, I just got a whole new mess of laughs from an already hysterical strip.
I agree. To be honest, I was confused and a tad scandalized before I read the comments.
Wait a second… I’ve heard this joke before!
So is it a Knife or a Hat?
By look, it looks like a hat, but the res blood under it, so it could be a knife, maybe it`s a knife with a hat!!
Yeah it’s begining to look more knifey the more i look at it
It’s a knife.
It looks like a push knife they are easily concealed and deadly with the right training.
On another note Chase’s expression in the first two panels almost make it seem like he really wants to ask Mr. Mills where he got such awesome apparel, but he is fighting not to come right out with it! XD
Or it could be the bear’s mouth is open and he can see the warmed genitals…>>
Red hair: check
Sideburns: check
Awesomestache: In progress…
Other worldly view: check
Has skinned an animal for clothing: check
Has had at least one moment of awesome filled glory: check
…It seems to me that Taryn is marrying someone that is/will be like her father.
NERF THIS FOR CHRISTMAS? YES.
I am getting a chuck norris vibe…
Am I the only one who read the third panel as “Be BEARY careful”?
Saw this and it reminded me of Taryn’s dad,
