I can’t find the original to credit the artist, so if you know who made this, pls comment.
This site has several of the artist’s comics. I doubt this is the original web page, but the images are uncropped to give the artist credit - Mr. K’s two-cut cartoons
Can confirm aha, this is faithful reposting because other sources of the bear comic date back to at least 2006, but this blog is the best location. Comics may need Google Lens to enjoy aha
This is another art site, it’s one comic per page and dated 2005, and names Go Byeong-gyu as the artist.
This is a Wiki page on the artist, and names cyworld.com as the original upload location, although cyworld seems to have since died.
Awesome, thanks!
I was going to ask for sauce…
I’ve seen this around for a few years now…and goddamnit I wanna see more
There’s a bit of original writing still on the second panel that looks maybe Korean

The white V pattern on the bear makes it an Asian Black Bear. Definitely feeling Korean
Looks like Reddit was on the case 6 years ago. I’m not going to link to the thread, and just dump the relevant bits instead. Most of the links appear dead anyway.
From reddit:
So it comes from a webcomic series of short gags with the title: “심심할때 그려보는 K군의 조금이상한 두컷만하”
(edit: correction of 페 per Keppay)
Edit: artist’s gallery http://www.cyworld.com/kbk74 browse back far enough to 2005-06
edit: kjoonlee put the artist name down as 고병규 or “Byeong-Kyu Ko” and google brings up a profile for him:
Google Translated says that he went into mobile game dev as as a founding member / director of Flint (who developed Dragon Blaze)

Did a reverse image search and found it here
Fun facts about these bears:
- They are called “Kragenbären” in my native language, Asian Black Bear in English.
- They are one of my favorite types of bears
- “Kragen” in “Kragenbär” can literally be translated as collar, but also as neck, so you basically got some neck bear(d)s there
- In German they are in the order of “dog-like” mammals, genus “ursus” (ur sus)
- They normally aren’t really aggressive if you act correctly, the dude in the meme could probably just have gone away (source: trust me)
- They look silly
Did anyone else think that the bear was reading a book?
Correct me if I am wrong isn’t it :
If it’s brown lay down, if it’s black fight back and if it is white goodbye
For what color of bear you should impersonate an Interpol agent then?
if it’s white, goodnight
I guess he chose the night in the woods with the bear.
I’ve seen similar comic but with different outcome
I think I might need more bear murder investigation task-force in my life…
