I once knew a guy who was a sometimes-professional hunting guide and regular (solo) big game hunter. He had several “interesting” bear stories. My favorite goes like this: He’s stalking deer from across a dry creek-bed, watching them through the rifle scope. The deer spook and run away. He thinks they are running from him … then turns in time to see a grizzly come charging out of the bushes fifteen feet behind him, towards the deer. Man sees bear. Bear sees man. Bear adjusts charge for the easier prey on its side of the creek-bed. There isn’t time to bring the gun around; he gets knocked to the ground on his face, and the rifle is thrown a good ways off. The bear picked him up by what it thought was his neck – actually, it was the metal frame of his backpack BEHIND his neck. Shake, squeeze on the “neck”. The binoculars in that part of the bag half-explode, and the bear thinks it has won. Guy crawls toward rifle; bear is all “WTF?” and does the same thing again. Other half of binoculars explode. Guy crawls more, reaches rifle, and shoots the bear in its confused face.
I was camping a few years ago when I heard a really deep growl outside and this large fuzzy shadow passed outside my tent. I poked my head out of the tent just to get a peek and it turns out it was actually a big hairy man in leather ass-less chaps
You know, Netflix has been recommending Big to me since I signed up for that thing. I never looked to see what it was about and just dismissed it. Now, after reading the little blurb on imdb, I’m interested, I will be adding that to my queue.
Is it just really freaky that 1) this comic was posted over a year ago, 2) I just read it now after trolling up through the archive, and 3) I just happened to have watched this movie two days ago????
Special place in my heart, this comic will always have. (^u^)
Wait… wouldn’t a piano that size make you small?
It was a movie
Oh.
Why a piano? Why not just have your hat grow those dick-tentacles again? I get that music is powerful but, where’s the Arg logic in that?
Big, the movie with Tom Hanks? I thought that by this day and age the entire internet generation knew about it.
I don’t get it, and this makes me sad. Also, the dick is hiding in the tent.
Bear attack story! Don’t mind if I do…

Oh, and then a bear attacked me… or something.
Wow… Turns out, a lot of us are older than we think we are for instantly getting the Big reference.
I never even saw. I know it from a quick mention of it in The Office

– that was my favourite bear attack story, just until you postet this one. ^^
Heh… Kinda out there for a reference, it seems I’m the only one in my social pool who’s seen it…
I really would’ve expected you to put on a purple catsuit and hit him in the head with a fishing pole… that would’ve made more sense to me~
CLONE HIGH LINK!! Huge thumbs up for the Gandhi/Abe pencils.
I don’t do the big piano thing anymore. I rather like this one – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw
It took me a minute, but I FINALLY got the refrence ^_^
I refused to read the comments until I had gotten it, damn spoilers >:l
