Grizzly & The Bear Patrol Reprint - The Origin of Grizzly

[kybearfuzz]

I posted this back in 2008. It was my first attempt at comic book drawing, before I learned to use the Comic Life software draw the panels. My friends Thom and Jay were adopting a young boy about the time I was considering the origin of Grizzly and the idea just came together. My idea was that two men could provide the DNA to create a biological child of their own. It seemed like a neat way to start up an origin and even leave a bit of mystery in the story.

So I created this story with a bear couple, Thom and Jay, who had a baby boy through unknown means. This kid grew up to develop super powers. I printed out the story to give to the guys and they loved it.

I was chatting with Thom last night and sent him the link to the latest Bear Patrol issue. He asked if I ever posted the Grizzly origin story. I had, but only as a friends-only post. So that's why this repost (and so anyone new to my journal can see it too).

Well, now, I gave him the full beard that YOU have :)

And remember, dark hair trumps red hair usually in the old genetic-dominance-trait wheel.

In my comic book world, he's also an AMAZING cook like you.
