Happy Valentine’s Day!
There is no such thing as a snow day in Montreal.
I wanted to make a pear calendar for 2013 using the winners of Pear of the Month, but that never materialized since I kind of abandoned Pear of the Month mid way through the year.(I still want to bring it back though). WordPress, however, kept a record of the most popular posts from last year. So here they are!

I had a lot of fun decorating my Christmas tree in Montreal this year, especially since I’ve amassed quite a few pear ornaments. Here are some pictures of my favorites!
Beatrice under the tree — her favorite spot.

sequin pear! and Beatrice under the tree again
not a pear, but quite pearish with her sequin purse, umbrella and scarf
Merry Christmas! I’m going to take a break from posting this week and enjoy all the holiday drinks and nibbles. Hope you all enjoy them as well!
More Christmas pears from past years that I really enjoyed making and still quite like.

I’d like to be the kind of pear that has a Christmas village, or rather, the kind of pear that can afford one.
I’ve been slow getting into the Holiday spirit this year and slow at drawing holiday pears, so here’s one from last year that I still really like:
I’m offering a special sale on the Angry Pear Etsy shop! Use the coupon code 15PEARCENT and get 15 percent off on everything in the store until the end of November! I’ve been adding new things, like hand-bound, comics, knit pears, and a few new cards. There are also special Holiday Stationpeary sets (Christmas and New Year), so go check them out!
Other illustrations / comics related to Angry Pear’s neighbors:
If you’re in Montreal, come out this weekend to support (suppeart) Angry Pear at Expozine! I’ll have comics, pins, magnets, “Stationpeary,” Micro Pears and more!
There looks to be an interesting line-up of independent presses and creators, so if you can make it, definitely check it out!
Details:
Saturday and Sunday (November 17 and 18), 12pm-6pm
5035 St-Dominique (Église Saint-Enfant Jésus, between St-Joseph & Laurier, near Laurier Métro)

I’ve recently added some new cards in the Angry Pear shop (and they aren’t even pears). I just got them from the printer last week, and I am so happy with how they turned out.
A cute owl Valentine, featuring “Claude,” who has only made one appearance in Angry Pear so far:
And a tipsy crab birthday card:
Happy Halloween!
A follow-up to last week’s post.
I’m starting to get into the Halloween spirit. Here are some of my favorite Halloween pears from past years:
“What kind of trick is this!?”
Pear dressed as an apple. Not much scarier than that!
“There’s no such thing as Vampears. They don’t exist.”
I made some special Halloween themed pins– ghosts and vampears! You can get them at the Angry Pear Etsy Shop.
Over the last few months, the comments on Angry Pear have been really funny– full of great puns and cleverness. I have enjoyed reading them and found them to be a great source of inspearation for new drawings. So I’m putting it to you, readers of Angry Pear, to caption this:
How it works:
Leave your caption in the comments. I’ll give you until Sunday night to think about it. I’ll post my favorite three or four and then let you all decide who wins.
And what will they win??? Well, the winner will receive the choice of either a set of pear pins, a chapbook / mini-comic book, or two cards!
Please pearticipate!
I hope to have this every month or so, if you don’t win this time, there will be another chance in the future.
Repearman! (parts 1 and 2).
Thanks for voting!
I keep missing Pear of the Month, but instead of skipping a few months, I will just backtrack. This week, the vote is for April. Which one of these Spring Pears will win the most admiration? You decide!
Click on the links to see the full comics / posts, then place your vote with the poll on the sidebar. The poll only shows up on the homepage. Or you can just write your vote in the comments.
I’ll post the winners in about a week! Thanks for voting!

Angry Pear Chokes on her own Rage
Some pears love it:
Some pears hate it:
(Granted, Fifty Shades of Green is no Pears of Passion or Vampear Lover!)
Usually pears like sitting on the balcony.
Other times, not so much:

Happy Labor Day!
This pear is going on vacation for the next two weeks! Finally! I won’t be posting much while I’m gone, so I thought I’d leave you with a compilation of some of my favorite past comics about vacation. This is part one. Part two will come later. Maybe next week sometime.
Click on the links to see the full comic. Some are single panel and others are multiple images.
(That will be me with the beach ball in a few days.)
(I hope the second part of this one doesn’t happen to me this time!)
