“I wanted black!”
Riding with an over-perfumed pear is very annoying.
When we last left off, one pear’s precious space pen had been destroyed (click here to read part 1):
“You broke it!”
…
“I got you a new space pen!”
“Oh I love my space pen.”
(Although easily angered and annoyed, Angry Pear is not heartless.)
My very talented friend Monika made this choose your own adventure game as a final project for one of her programming classes. She used Angry Pear as her inspiration, pulling images from the blog. The entire story and concept is her creation, and I think she did a fantastic job of capturing Angry Pear’s spirit.

(And yes, she and I both know about the typos in the game. She made this at two in the morning in about one hour. Typos are to be expected!)

“Look at my new space pen.”
“I love it.”
“It writes in boiling heat of more than 300 ˚ F.”
“It writes in the freezing cold up to -30 ˚ F.”
“It writes in the vacuum of space.”
“It even writes upside down.”
To Be Continued…
Hell is other pears.
“I can think whatever I want.”
“Just because you think it,”
“does not mean that I have to like it.”
“Fine.”
“Fine.”
“You want to get a drink?”
“Fine!”
Happy early New Year!
“Are those presents for me?!”
“No! Don’t look in these bags!”
“You better be getting me more than this!”
Happy Holidays!

I really enjoyed some of the pears from last Christmas, so I thought I’d post them again. Click on the post titles to read the full comic.
(I redid this one a few months ago in ink for a Christmas card).
Happy Holidays everyone!

“How does it taste? And be honest.”
“It’s a bit bland.”
“You’re tasting it wrong!”
“Don’t make me go back in there!”
Expozine was so much fun. I wanted to say thanks to those of you who stopped by. It was really great meeting you in person. The whole experience was so rewarding. I get such a kick out of seeing people enjoy these pears as much as I do.
I was also interviewed by the Montreal-based online journal GeeKorner. Check out the interview (there are more pictures!)
Little pears made out of polymer in an escargot dish.
Holiday and blank greeting cards (also available online at Angry Pear’s Etsy Shop).
Comics from some of my favorite blog posts and a brand new comic introducing Angry Pear. (These will soon be available in the Angry Pear shop).
Postcards with some of my favorite panels (like Leaf Extensions and Angry Pear vs. The Mood Ring).
Me.
So thanks again for coming by and being suppeartive! I hope to attend Expozine again next year and more craft fairs in the Montreal area.
Too cold.
Too hot.
Can’t sleep.
At least the neighboring seat is vacant.
Hyacinth Bucket is most definitely a pear.
Angry Pear watches the National Dog Show
“The Australian Shepherd was robbed!”
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ve done a guest post over at the Dodeline + Design blog. Check it out!
And be sure to visit Dodeline’s Etsy shop. She makes beautiful, graphic cards often with a touch of humor. This is one of my favorites.
Angry Pear will be at Expozine 2011 this year in Montreal. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and see Angry Pear and many other small publishers and comic book artists that will be displaying there. I’ll be selling mini-comic books, pear cards, little polymer pears, and pins. You can preview some of them in Angry Pear’s Etsy shop.
EXPOZINE, Saturday, November 26 and Sunday, November 27, 2011, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 5035 St-Dominique (Église Saint-Enfant Jésus, Laurier Métro). Free admission.
Please note: Angry Pear will only be there on Saturday. Not Sunday.
For more information on the event and to see the other vendors, visit Expozine’s website.
“Five dollars apiece? You call that a sale?!”
Last week Mature Student Hanging in the There passed The Versatile Blogger Award on to Angry Pear. I’m really honored by this, and I’m happy to pass the award along to 15 other blogs that I enjoy.
But first the Rules of the Award:
Rule 1 – Thank the person who nominated you for the award:
Thank you Jacqueline! Although I only recently started reading Mature Student Hanging in There, I’m hooked. As her blog title suggests, she writes a lot about the challenges and successes of returning to school, but tempers her stories with humor and relatable anecdotes. What I find particularly lovely about her blog is that, while readers may not share her experiences exactly, she manages to captivate her audience and make her tales universal.
Rule 2 – List seven things people may not know about you:
1. Pears are not my favorite fruit to eat.
2. I don’t own a cellular phone.
3. I like Victorian novels—Vanity Fair is one of my favorites.
4. I like to knit and design my own sweaters and dresses.
5. I enjoy the “occasional” cocktail.
6. Like Angry Pear, I am easily peeved.
7. I am a fan of Doctor Who.
Rule 3 – Nominate 15 blogs you think should receive this award:
Here’s a list of the blogs I enjoy. It was hard to limit the list to just 15. They are all over the map in terms of style, topic and execution, but they are all lovely!
In no particular order:
“It’s important to have interesting topics of conversation. That keeps a relationship healthy.”
“Let’s talk about what you’re getting me for my birthday.”
(Read the first “Pear Relationships” here: Pear Relationships)
Sometimes pears wish they had their own private chef.
Yes, I missed both August and September, but Pear of the Month is back for October! Let’s relive what the pears have been up to last month.
Please pearuse the list of candidates below and then place your vote using the poll on the sidebar. Click on the links beneath each image to see the full post. Voting will end in about one week.
Thanks for voting!
“Wrong kind of cup.”
“Only one type of sugar?”
“It’s weak!”
“All wrong!”
