Bear-ing Witness to Evil

from In-Fur-Nation

Getting in on the ground floor here… At Long Beach Comic Con we came across Not Teddy Bears, a new art project created by Robert Ly. Is it a line of toys? A new on-line comic? A graphic novel? We don’t know! And the official web site isn’t very clear about that. But still, there is a story to be told here: It seems that teddy bears as we know them are not just cuddly little fuzzy friends for children, but physical representations we have created from our memory of small bear-like creatures who defend us from monsters. When our world is invaded by violent, evil forces, those creatures suddenly become very, very important once again.

There seem to be a growing number of literary and artistic creations that depict the toys of youth in lurid adult situations, such as the four “Mollison Town” novels by Swedish author Tim Davys, and the three “Mega Plush” animated shorts by Matt Burniston.
