My Boyfriend Is A Bear is never really about whether or not Nora and the Bear love each other. ![]() I love the slice of life style Ribon brings to the story. I feel that the small bursts of events and information really pull together well and provide a relaxing read. However, Ribon tells the tale mostly through compact vignettes, whether they be glimpses into memories of Nora and the Bear’s life together or listicle-esque pages like the “Douchebags I’ve Dated” montage or the “Cat Versus Bear” sections. My Boyfriend Is A Bear loosely revolves around the coming hibernation the Bear must embark on and how that may impact Nora and the Bear’s relationship. But what if her perfect man turns out to be a 500 pound American Black Bear? Find out in the fantastic original graphic novel My Boyfriend Is A Bear! ![]() After a string of terrible boyfriends, all Nora wants is a great guy to date. ![]()
