Click for full imageScott B’s Art Direction: We don’t want anyone to confuse this with the film “Labyrinth” which has just recently been released, so put something on there that nobody will mix up with that. Ah, how about a rooster-bear pondering deep thoughts? That’s the stuff.

Is he a rooster-bear? Is he a punk-prairie-dog? What is he thinking about? And how did he get so buff?
Maybe that’s why it’s called The Questioner Trilogy…

It is a chicken Kiev.

“Hmm… is The Bear Necessities too obvious for my ringtone, or do I need to go more punk?”

Someone told him that stripping to the waist and putting his chin in his hand on his photo for the dating website would make him look ‘deep’ and obscure his double-chin. Someone else told him the surgically-implanted plastic Mohican was a good look for a bear. The fate of worlds is determined by a very gullible bear-man.

i’m more worried that he seems to be pointing to his furry bear crotch

Goodness! Look at those shiners. ‘What do you say to a bear with two black eyes? Stay out of my honey, for the third time!’

This must be the new, CGI-rich, big budget, Hollywood re-imagining of… Bungle from RAINBOW.
February 5th, 2013 at 12:59 pm
@towrope Maybe he’s envious of David Bowie’s package and calling attention to his own.
February 5th, 2013 at 3:52 pm
@Ewan: Prairie dog or bear? Good question. Regardless, that is one MASSIVE head. As wide as his body. And that left crotchward indicator arm seems a bit gimpy and underdeveloped. I don’t think he can reach the top of his swollen noggin with it. And that mohawk…is that hair or a roosters comb type of membrane? It is the perfect illustration for a book in The Questioner series indeed.

“Now where did I leave my comb?”
February 5th, 2013 at 4:25 pm
I am feeling an itch down below…….urge to scratch rising, rising…

Is it just me, or did the artist use that trick where the eyes appear to follow you around the room?
“Stop looking at me, rooster bear man!!!” is a phrase no person should ever feel the need to speak.
February 5th, 2013 at 5:07 pm
@deadstuff: the person to be wary of is whoever gave a bear two black eyes.
February 5th, 2013 at 7:14 pm
It’s a hairy man wearing a fake bear head.
…
…
OK, who wants to make a gay “bear” joke?

But a horror to a human may be ecstasy to an alien, like tastey human meets hungry epicurean alien. I believe this question has just occured to roobear and is pondering the inherent stupidity of his mission as a keeper of the peace.

As everyone seems to find Roosterbearman so very unimpressive, it’s no wonder the poor fellow lost his job to the Galaxy’s most fabulous cat-person:

@L.B.: with the title of Labyrinth my mind went first to David Bowie as well.
You remind me of the bear.
What bear?
The bear with the mohawk.
What mohawk?
February 6th, 2013 at 5:58 pm
Never mind how buff he is; I’m impressed by the way he’s balancing an entire PLANET on his head …
February 7th, 2013 at 4:29 pm
@Yoss, I think you are wrong…that is clearly a Bear Man Rooster, not a Rooster Bear Man as you have suggested.
I don’t know how some people get these distorted thoughts in their head….*humph*

I’m just working from Griffon’s Book of Chimerical Taxonomy, 3rd edition. Has it been updated already?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:52 pm
You mean you didn’t get the memo?
February 12th, 2013 at 7:35 pm
I may have. Could be I thought it was another of their Mystery Meat Cookbook offers and put it straight into the recycling.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:30 pm
I don’t throw those away…The Mystery Meat Cook books offer great debates such as whether or not the platypus would look better if it had an elephant’s trunk instead of that funny looking duck bill.

I’ve never seen a manbearrooster in the flesh, but I’m pretty sure those proportions are off.

“What came first… the chicken or the bear…? Hmm… Perhaps I was made to answer that question…”
June 16th, 2015 at 3:56 pm
No wonder that the Paddington film was in development for so long…

The ursine Rachel Dolezal considers whether her attempt to pass as a chicken might have been rumbled.

@Tat: The National Association for the Advancement of Chicken and Poultry will not be amused.

@Dead Stuff: Stuff ’em.

To be frank it looks like he is hitchhiking *and* scratching his groin at the same time. That might explain why he is still stuck out there con I-80 late at night. That, and being a roosterbear.
October 22nd, 2022 at 11:38 pm
@JJYoyo: I think he’s trying to catch a ride home from a punk festival where he got to show off his plastic mohawk, but as you say, the crotch-grabbing — not to mention the fact he’s a giant stupidly buff bear-man — is putting off anyone who might be inclined to pick up hitchhikers.
They’re probably thinking he’s on steroids to get that muscly, and a ‘roid rage bear with a pointy thing on his head isn’t something you want in a confined space with you.

I’m curious… what did you kids find in the randoms… oh good grief, that’s hideous, I love it! But wait, is it? It’s Rowena – nooooo! I hope they paid her lots…
October 24th, 2022 at 2:55 am
@Emster: She always got paid lots, even when her art didn’t deserve it. We’ve got 4 whole pages here to prove it!
I doubt Saddam Hussein paid her anything for the paintings in his palace, I think he bought them second or third hand. She was, of course, very surprised when they turned up there.
