Nature’s gone corporate. The bears are sexy. And advertising’s about to get clawed. All this and more in THAT SEXY BEAR!
From the cannabis-slingin’ minds behind How Do You Smoke A Weed?, Owlin is back with a new shot of cartoon chaos straight to your cerebellum: THAT SEXY BEAR!
A metatextual, laugh-out-loud fever dream of a graphic novel that plants its furry feet firmly in the satire zone. Coming at you courtesy of Spike Trotman’s crowdfunding juggernaut, Iron Circus Comics - which has basically turned Kickstarter into their own personal Thunderdome - this delightfully unhinged book is now live for pre-launch.
So what’s the pitch? Imagine if Yogi Bear dropped acid, got TikTok famous, and had to unionize against Big Beverage. Yeah, it’s that kind of party.
Welcome to beautiful and scenic Cascadia Falls National Park! Commodified, gentrified, consumerized, and digitized, the Elysian environs of 21st-century Cascadia is now just more Content... and so are its hopelessly-acclimatized-to-tourists bears, Ginger and Yaya. Involuntary beer mascots and social media stars, they've forgotten how to bear entirely, much to the frustration and chagrin of their park ranger caretakers, Eggs and Ricardo. But things are getting weird now, even for Cascadia. The exploitation's been kicked up a notch, with a mysterious SUV and colonizing copycat among the new crop of troubles threatening the park! Can bear and ranger, hand-in-paw, push back against the invasion? Or are they as doomed to digestion for digital gain as the rest of us?
And just when you thought the synopsis couldn’t get more unhinged, Spike Trotman kicks the bear-train into overdrive:
“THAT SEXY BEAR! is just the right amount of Completely Nuts,” says Iron Comics founder Spike Trotman. “Equal parts insight, homage, whimsy and weird. Echoes of classic mid century cartoons, crossed with 21st century sociopolitical anxiety and TikTok shitposting. It's a terrible but familiar vision of eking out an existence in an Always Online America. Y'all are gonna dig this one.”
Iron Circus Comics isn’t new to this rodeo - they’ve crowdfunded nearly $5 million worth of raw, weird, and wonderful graphic novels. Their 2025 line-up looks like a fever dream someone scribbled on a napkin at a Denny’s at 3AM. Here’s a taste:
THE UNSINKABLE SHIP OF FOOLS – From Jonas Goonface (Godshaper) comes a grimy, supernatural odyssey aboard a magical train full of trash goblins and existential dread. You can’t get off, but you can get weird.
RIGSBY WI: BURN IT DOWN – S.E. Case returns to their cult-favorite webcomic with more awkward adolescence, rural chaos, and that hyperreal Wisconsin flavor you didn’t know you needed.
REAL HERO SHIT: HARDER THAN IT LOOKS – The gang’s all back in this sequel to the queer fantasy that broke the mold. Prince twinks, mage meltdowns, cleric crushes, and high-key aesthetic battles. Launching during Pride Month because... of course it is.
SUMMER 2025 MYSTERY PROJECT – Who knows? Could be a cryptid romance. Could be a haunted blender. With Iron Circus, it’s best to just buckle up and vibe.
So yeah - THAT SEXY BEAR! is here to roast capitalism, boop your nose, and make you rethink every zoo-themed cereal commercial you ever saw.
Wanna be part of the chaos? Head to Kickstarter and smash that pre-launch link like it’s your For You Page.
