BEAR
The Graphic Novel
Bear is a coming of age story that follows a twenty-something bear's journey from the back-alleys of Montreal to the busy streets of London. When we meet Bear, she is having a tough time: there’s pizza in her DVD player, beer at her breakfast table, and some characters in her bed that she'd rather forget. Life in London was supposed to be different from Montreal, but not much has changed since her move. Her love life is still a mess, her family is unravelling, and she’s back at university without a career in sight. Will she manage to find herself abroad or just get lost in the big city? Can she embrace her inner grizzly, or will she be mauled by her own insecurities? And what about this Mouse guy who’s always around? Tall, furry and handsome, he just won’t scurry out of her life, which is annoying when they are definitely, totally, 100% JUST FRIENDS. Bear is an exploration of love, identity, heritage and purpose that offers laughs, tenderness and strategies for growing up without being a jerk.
