That's exactly how the comic reads haha

Yes I think that's the correct interpretation

Yes. Its one of my favorites.

You got it right. Poor thing was just getting a drink and the hunter staged it as a monster.

Im saying the bear just pretended to die, then pretended to get gutted and skinned and when the time came it killed the hunter after the 4th frame.

New rule. Hand to hand combat, take what you can carry out. No clothing or weapons beyond what you get genetically.

I suspect the rhino, elephant and lion populations will benefit.

Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?
