So, Shelley and I ate lunch at Counter Culture one day last week and I noticed a tub of gummi bears on the counter that they will put in your yogurt, if you so wish. That lead me to wonder...why bears? How did bears, of all animals, become the staple gummi fruit snack of the world? When I got to some paper I jotted down a sketch of a gummi bear in mid-air attack against a coiled-up gummi worm. Then I rethought the scene and just decided to show the bear as the victor against the horde of gummi challengers. What the victorious bear doesn't realize is that in the grand scheme of things, being the top fruit snack still makes you a snack. Oh, well, enjoy your victory, GB.
