Bee is Back

Return of Bee.After several years Jason Little has started posting weekly Bee Comix again. If you missed the original, make sure to check out the first 13 episodes. There is something very Tintin-ish about the animation that I find attractive.

I followed the original series and greatly missed it during the hiatus. Everyone knows S*P, and Pibgorn is awfully cool too, those three make good web-comic reading

I really like the style, lots of depth, and it's got that pixel-art feel to it. Very nice. Thanks!

Wow... a full-stereo cartoon... very, very impressive!!

Thanks for the update, edgeways! I had forgotten about Bee after I purchased the Shutterbug Follies hardcover.

Not to derail this thread, but does anybody know what is going on with today's "Get Fuzzy" ?

Wow! I just came across this a few days ago and was totally blown away. I really like something about it, but can' put my finger on it. Oddly, I'm not much for comix, but this I like. It feels a bit tintin and bit ghost world. Glad to know there's going to be new episodes!

On the same monkey?

I have no idea... it made me miss the concept of webcomics that come with a little snip of commentary to explain what the hell's happening.

Animation implies movement

That Tintin site is pretty cool. It's almost as good as the Tintin/Herge Chronicles book that details his research and inspirations and such.

Bashi-Bazouks! Carpathians!

Also, I've bookmarked Bee. Thanks!

That has to be the best-illustrated comic on the web I've seen so far.

Frankly I am stunned at how many people seem to monitor "Get Fuzzy" and are super-confused about the test pattern comic. Everywhere I turn today!

Bee rocks, thanks for the great post. My head still aches from "The Abduction Announcement"! :)

Nice, I hadn't seen this before, thanks edgeways!

That makes me feel better, sninky-chan. I was fascinated by "The Abduction Announcement" yesterday morning but holding the focus made me feel off-kilter for about two hours and I'm sure it was involved in the nasty headache I got later in the day.

I discovered Bee last year via a copy of Shutterbug Follies I found in my local library's graphic novel section, and I'm glad to find more online.
