Not Pear
Although when I originally started Angry Pear I was very adamant about NEVER drawing anything but pears, I have since decided that some things (irritations and annoyances mostly) just can’t be expressed with pears. Or, I guess I should say, they cannot be expressed clearly enough with pears. So I have decided to occasionally post a comic or drawing that isn’t a pear.
Wearing glasses in the winter is annoying.

Don’t you hate this?

Dokter Peer / Doctor Pear
A few months ago, Esther, a very nice woman in Europe (probably the Netherlands given the Dutch description), contacted me about doing this custom drawing (a doctor pear tending to a sick blueberry). She wanted to give the picture to her friend as a gift for finishing medical school. I LOVED the project because their nicknames for each other are pear and blueberry– very cute! Esther ended up putting the image on a bag for her friend, and I think it looks amazing!
I am always interested in making custom drawings / prints. If you’re interested, you can contact me through Etsy or email me at drew[at]angriestpear[dot]com.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I wasn’t going to post anything today, but then I took these pictures and decided I wanted to share them. These are the NEW versions of the knit pears (coming soon to my Etsy shop). They’re a little smaller, but I think I like them better.

Hope your Valentines are less grumpy!

Also, just a reminder: I’ll be at the Market Cooperative today selling pear things! Stop by if you’re in Montreal!

Figure Skating Pear: Pearseverance
I love how when the figure skaters fall, they always get up and keep going.
Fictional Pears: Hercule Poirot Favorite Quotes
Again, I can’t remember what episode this is from. But maybe J. Lau does?
Here are some more of my favorite Hercule Poirot quotes (from the television series):
From “Elephants Can Remember”
From “Peril at End House”
And the Winners Are…
Thank you for participating in the Facebook / Twitter contest. I really appreciate all of your comments, and I honestly wish I could give everyone a comic or calendar. But that would be too expensive. So chosen at random, here are the two winners:
Anna Cull of In the Art Cave
Carla of Team Nugget
I used this list randomizer at random.org to randomly decide the winners. I only mention it because I think it’s neat!
Keeping Plants over the Winter
This is the problem with bringing plants inside for the winter.

The Pears of the World calendar features 12 different types of pears, along with a description for each month. I had a lot of fun putting this together.
New comics from 2013 include Pearishables, Pears of History, Myth and Legend, and Work-a-Day Pear. I also have few copies left of comics from past years.
Good luck everyone! Here are the Facebook and Twitter links again!

Well Lotioned Pear – Part 2
In part 1 I said that there was no such thing as applying too much lotion this time of year. Maybe I was wrong about that…
Well Lotioned Pear – part 1
This time of year, it seems you can never apply too much lotion.
Stay tuned for part 2 next week!
Favorite Posts from 2013
If you’re on WordPress, you know that they send this nice summary of the past year at the end of every year. I thought I’d post the favorite comics (according to their tracking of page views) from 2013. Thanks to everyone who’s subscribed to this blog. I really appreciate all of your comments and support!
(Just a link for this one since there are a few comics here).

Boxing Day
Yes, pears wear belts. And they especially need new ones after all the nibbles on Christmas!
Hope you all had a nice holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US ! Hope your celebrations are more like the top picture and don’t devolve into the second one!
Maybe the food was too caramelized. Haha.

Distroboto and Angry Pear!
Distroboto is a project run by Archive Montreal that repurposes old cigarette machines into art vending machines. A few weeks ago, I made super mini versions of my Angry Pear comics for them! At $2 a pop, it’s a great way to learn about and support local artists.
They are currently stocked with three Angry Pear titles; Hipster Pear, Pears Gone Wild, and Pear and Rabbit. If you’re interested in full size versions of these titles, visit my Etsy shop. And, if you’re in Montreal, stop by some of their machine locations (listed on their website) and pick up a few of the goodies they’re selling.

Technical Difficulties
Last week my computer died, and I had to erase everything on it and reinstall the operating system. As a result, I lost the pre-prepared (prePEARed?) pears I had planned to post in the next week or so. So, I’ll be taking a hiatus from posting as I get all this together.
Pear Kayak
I actually tried this method of conveyance this summer (I am the pear in the inner tube).
