The Pear of the Month January 2013 is…
Neighbors: Peace Offering!
Nothing like a hot batch of laxative cookies!
For a better sense of Angry Pear’s relationship to her neighbors, some earlier comics:
Not much to be done about it. Except get angry!
I’ve decided to bring back Pear of the Month. For those of you who are new, this is where I pick out comics and illustrations from previous months and ask readers to vote for their favorites. I’m bringing it back because I want to make a calendar for 2014, and I feel that this will give me a good sense of what I should feature in the calendar.
I had intended to do this for 2013, but never got around to it. I ended up buying a “Bygone Days”-themed calendar from the discount bin at Cartes Carlton. Of course, if I get this one for 2014 together in time, I plan to make it available in my Etsy shop!
We’ll start with January 2013 (no sense going back any further). Here are the contestants!
(You’ll have to click the link to see just what she put in the cookies)
Here’s how it works: I’ll leave the poll up on the sidebar for about a week. In that time, you can vote as often as you like for as many pears as you like (you can even write-in pears). I’ll announce the winner next week!
Thanks for voting!

Happy 4th of July!
Happy Canada Day!
I know I am enjoying the long weekend!
A few weeks ago, I posted this Peartographer. Here she / he is in action! And some pictures I took of this really cute pear.
(Click to enlarge).
This one is from one of the mini comic books, Pears Gone Wild (available on Etsy).
Also, Bonne St-Jean to those of us in Quebec!
The first day of Summer is tomorrow! Yay!
According to the internet, yesterday was Picard Day! (In addition to being Father’s Day). I celebrated by watching several episodes of TNG (actually not that different from most of my Sundays).
A few weeks ago, I came across this supercut of Riker sitting down. Like most people talking about this online, I NEVER noticed that he gets into a chair like a complete madman! Take a look! (I think it must be because he’s so tall?)
“Live long and prospear.”
I keep telling myself this as it gets warmer.
Well, not just an angry pear. This time I tried using Illustrator for the first time to create shading. What do you think?
Again, I don’t remember the episode!
Here are some other Poirot pears (click the images to make them bigger):
(without anyone knowing)
And pears LOVE romance novels:
Example 1: Pears of Passion
Example 2: Vampear Lover
Very similar to trying to share the space on a couch that is too small:
Pears like needlepoint.
Introducing Angry Pear needlepoint canvases and kits!
This winter, I collaborated with Barbara Russell of Barbara Russell Needlepoint Designs to convert some of my pear drawings into needlepoint painted canvases. She picked six of my favorite illustrations. So exciting! Here are the ones she picked:
Cleopeartra:
Pears like Wine:
Pampeared:
Pear Salon Disaster:
Pears go well with Cheese:
Sharing:
The canvases have turned out beautifully! You can purchase the canvases (and kits with threads) from Barbara Russell’s website under the pear people collection. I used to do a lot of needlepoint when I was younger, and I can’t wait to try these!
I’ll post pictures after I’ve finished one of these. I just can’t figure out which one I want. Probably Pampeared.
This comic (and others about pears and rabbits) is from a print comic book I made a few months ago called Pear and Rabbit. You can get a copy at my Etsy shop!

Some other comics about pears shopping:
Dapper Pear Shopping Spree (I had forgotten about him)
Shopping Spree (I had forgotten about this one too. Makes me laugh)
Maybe you would like to shop for some pear stuff (pear-aphernalia)? Check out my Angry Pear Etsy shop! I make everything myself!
I wish this was a real thing.
(Finally!)
Today is the three year anniversary from when I started posting pear pictures and comics. Thank you all for following along!
Happy Earth Day!
(From the T.V. Series)
Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the episode this one is from.
For a better sense ofAngry Pear’s relationship to my her neighbors, here are some earlier comics:
Last year I made this comic about taking Easter photos of Beatrice (my rabbit). I redid it in black and white for the mini comic Pear and Rabbit.
