Transcript
A two-panel comic featuring a gray bear.
Panel 1: A forest, with the bear inquisitively looking at a canvas, an easel and a paintbrush. There is a question mark above the bear's head
Panel 2: The easel is laying on the ground next to a flower. The bear is standing up, looking content and wearing a black beret. It is holding the painting in one hand and a paintbrush in another. The painting consists exclusively of black text reading "FUCK MY LIFE". Red lines streak down from the word LIFE.
