Book Description
Bear is a comic of doe-eyed hi-jinx, crazed slaughter, and expanding heads, all wrapped up with a fuzzy bow. See Bear suffer undignified ickiness, barely escape serious injury, and flee the deranged whims of his tormentor, Looshkin. It's a sweet crunchy bun of horrible joy.

A glassc0ck, as B3ta would put it.......2006-10-07
Like everyone else here, I think this begs comparison to the work of Jhonen Vasquez. The humor is NOT the same; it's more domestic and repetitive, a goth version of Tom and Jerry. However, as in Jhonen's work, the dialogue is a thinly veiled attempt to take over your school with memes. A plot made of memes has no depth to it. This is okay if you just want a funny comic, but the nihilistic "I'm surrounded by idiots" tone of the book is depressing. This is not a classic. It says nothing new. I don't want a book of sarcastic T-shirt sayings.
A Great Content but softcovers break.......2006-08-11
The book was well done with all you could ever ask of Jaime Smart. Book is a great addition to the SLG publisher's fine line of punk-pop artists. The art is stylized and dynamic. The stories are a little simple, but hey actually make more sense that way. And the few extra touches in this compilation book are quite nice. My only complaint is that the book comes as a classic cheap softcover. The softcover comes apart to quickly if you actually wish to reed the book and takes away from the overall quality product that the book is. Which is why I have to give it 4 rather then the 5 it should get.
Wha?.......2006-04-02
I don't know what the HECK some people want out of their comics.....Some sort of deep meaning to life it seems when I glance over certain other reviews here. Bear in my opinion is wonderful! I also love the style and wit of Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge...But really why compare Bear to them? The only reason you could compare them is the fact they have the same comics label. In Bear you can't help but grow attached to the main characters. I mean,it is like Garfield on speed. An owner with a mad cat and swop the dog for a bear who is always maimed. Add delightful sprinklings of 'British' humour and a adorable yet mad drawing style and you have: BEAR! Just sit down and actually read it,it is great for making you laugh.
Heee hee Buhhhhhh!.......2006-03-14
If you like Evan Dorkin's Milk and Cheese, or Hewlett and Martin's Tank Girl, then this is the book for you. Swearing, Chainsaws, Fun with offal... It's all within the pages of Bear:Immortal.
Treat yourself to sick laffs and weirdnessaplenty, and prepare to meet the funniest cartoon cat since Tom and Jerry hit the screens. Yes, it really is that good.
Buy it. Go on. What are waiting for? Just buy it!
Bear... Let's all think about it for a minute.......2006-03-13
Bear rules. The writing is INTELLIGENT. You morons out there that think that Mr. Smart has been influenced by JTHM and Lenore need to finish elementary reading and realize that he is completely different. First of all, both Vasquez and Dirge copy each other and readily admit it. If you believe that they are the "masters" of graphic novels... you are sorely mistaken. Try... Charles Addams and Edward Gorey (wait.... they were born before your grandparents so, you may know of the Addams Family movies... but not the comic strips!). Then, Tim Burton. Do you not see the similarities in their works? Vasquez and Dirge are the unoriginal ones. Please, let's stop acting like they are some kind of messiahs for the unaccepted nerds. Rant aside, I highly recommend Bear. It is refreshening. It is a book that I have read from the beginning issue and have not been able to put them down!!!

Redneck Humor and Pride in Deluxe Foxworthy Package.......2007-06-15
This week's local paper led with our local school transportation director being verbally reprimanded after an email mocking "rednecks" snaked to his boss's email box. Among other things it called a shopping cart over a campfire a "redneck grill" and two guys throwing toilet seats at each other "redneck horseshoes."
"The e-mail system should be for business only! This is a business, it isn't a playground!" the school superintendent (a native West Virginian) thundered, echoing Milburn Drydsdale's pompously commanding his Commerce Bank minions. To which the transportation director replied, no doubt with Jed Clampett's modesty, "I consider myself (a redneck). I was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina."
Thank blue collar comic Jeff Foxworthy, and hilarious one-liner collections like this, for these disparate views. Foxworthy's a Southerner and ex-computer programmer who struck black comedy gold focusing on proud, peculiar Southern peccadilloes: messy households, (sometimes too) strong family ties, minor law scrapes, regional dialects and slang. He turned their lives into a cottage industry with best-selling CDs, TV series, films, even a satellite radio channel atop one of comedy's most reliable concert tours.
The book's title sets up each joke in its 314 pages, focusing on redneck families ("If you cried the day your son tapped his first keg...") cars ("If you ever gift wrapped a tire...")and fashions ("if your wedding dress was leather.."), at work ("if the family business requires a lookout") in love ("if you used food stamps on a date") and outdoors ("if you've ever sent fan mail to a fishing lure")
"You Might Be A Redneck If.." isn't a book read cover to cover, but dipped into for tongue-in-cheek humor (and equally funny David Boyd illustrations) with the tobacco. (By the way, "if Red Man sends you a Christmas card..."). And laughing aloud or smiling in recognition, you may envy redneck resourcefulness (" If you clean your home with a water hose...") and unpretentiousness (...you ever slow danced at a Waffle House) which made their working-class lives content. It boosted that school transportation chief's pride, and once led Charlie Daniels to salute rednecks in song: "Now you intellectuals may not like it/But there ain't nothin' that you can do/Cause there's a whole lot more of us common-folks/Then there ever will be of you." (But remember chief, "if your chicken house used to be a school bus...")
Webster defines "redneck" as "a white member of the white Southern rural laboring class." Introducing this book, Foxworthy defines it as a "glorious absence of sophistication." To superintendent chagrin, and student, parent, and even blue-collar employee pride, this book confirms Foxworthy's definition funnier and more accurate. Recommended.
GREAT BOOK.......2007-01-11
I ORDERED THIS BOOK FOR MY SON. HE ASKED FOR IT FOR CHRISTMAS. HE LOVES IT.

GREAT YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK BOOK.......2005-08-12
I am a big fan of Jeff Foxworthy. When I bought this book, I was excited. I loved reading all the punch lines. Its a good book to own for any Jeff Foxworthy Fans.
"If it ain't broke ,it ain't ours.".......2005-07-10
The more of this Redneck humor I read,the more I enjoy it.I have written reviews on several Redneck and Southern Humor books;but none are better than what the author of this gem,Jeff Foxworthy,gives us.
The layout of the book,the wonderful illustrations and all the one-liners result in a book that is great to sit back with "a cool one" and have some great laughs.
The author has come up with a great way to introduce these one-liners;that would be:
You might be a Redneck if....
"You use your daughter's wedding as an excuse to buy a new
shotgun."
"You've ever done your Christmas shopping at a truck stop."
"You can take your bra off while driving."
"You talk to your dog more than your wife."
"Your mother does not remove the Marlboro from her lips before
telling the State Patrolman to k--- her a--."
"You've ever thrown up in a squad car."
"You take your dog for a walk and you both use the tree at
the corner."
"You've ever vacationed in a rest area."
"You've ever worn shorts to a funeral home."
"You got your nose broken at your sister's wedding."
"Truckers tell your wife to watch her language."
"Your gene pool doesn't have a 'deep end'."
"You proposed at Denny's."
"You had a marriage license before you had a driver's license."
"You said your wedding vows while watching a football game
out of the corner of your eye."
"You learned the facts of life by watching dogs."
"Getting your car inspected means paying a bribe."
And that is just a taste of what you'll find in this book.It isn't stated;but there are somewhere between 1300 and 1500 of these one-liners for your enjoyment.
If you like earthy humor,you'll love this book.

Most of the cliches about dumb white people are used.......2006-11-25
The humor of Jeff Foxworthy reminds me of the old television show "Sanford and Son." The main characters were all black, and most of them were poor. Therefore, they could poke fun at it and even use the stereotypes used to depict poor blacks. It was the only network television show where the word ni**er could be used. Foxworthy claims to be a redneck, so he also can poke fun using the stereotypes of what many people call "trailer trash."
The people are depicted as dumb, toothless, crude and ill mannered. In only a few pages, he manages to hit just about every stereotype. My favorite is on page 32, where he says, "You might be a redneck if your Thanksgiving dinner was ever ruined because you ran out of ketchup." I found some of them mildly humorous, but most of them were a bit silly. I thought the dumbest one was "You might be a redneck if you think Volvo is part of a woman's anatomy." Foxworthy's humor does little for me, but that might just be personal taste. Therefore, if you like this kind of humor, you will probably bust a gut when reading this book. However, if your tastes are more towards intelligent humor, it will probably just bore you.
A funny book .......2005-04-14
Fans of the 'redneck humor' of Jeff Foxworthy as seen on TV comedy shows will be glad to know his one-liner observations about what makes a 'redneck' translate well to text and one-panel comics, too. David Boyd's illustrations grace a funny book perfect for the non-reader fully aware of all-too-real 'redneck habits'.
read it alone.......2000-05-07
this book by the southern flavored performer is a work out for the stomach muscles . foxworthy tells the story of his childhood , teen years and about his present day life in a manner that makes you jealous you didn't grow up with the guy. his stories about deer hunting and playing pranks on his mom will make you break out laughing in the middle of your train/bus ride. if you are a fan of foxworthy (as i am) you will recognise the classic bits and enjoy lots of new and hillariously funny ones. if you want to avoid embarrasing yourselves in public , read this book alone , because you will laugh out loud. click on the add to cart icon you will not be dissapointed

Great joke on a daily basis.......2007-01-04
I purchased this calendar because I had one just like this for the previous year, and I figured on continuing the theme for this year. I am also a long-time fan of all the comedians who make-up The Blue Collar Comedy Tour, including Jeff Foxworthy himself. He is well-known for his trademark "You might be a Redneck" jokes, so I definitely recommend purchasing this calendar.

A Laugh A Minute.......2006-02-25
A wonderful book in which we can see ourselves and perhaps family members. Highly recommend to others.
Slightly Disappointed........2006-01-30
The calendar is funny, but not as funny as last year's. Seems like their running out of material.
Text only.......2006-01-27
I bought this calendar because of the great picture on the box. I was deeply disappointed to find that the actual calendar has no such images--just a one-line text statement every day. I won't buy another one from Jeff.

Each page of this calendar features a hilarious redneck joke from Jeff Foxworthy.

It's fine. A luke warm gag gift..........2007-09-28
There is nothing wrong with it. It was nicely presented and bound. Funny? Maybe if you are over 70 and think that Uncle Milty was a laugh riot. It is a nice safe "humorous" gift for the elderly.
