When Cartoon Brew called attention to The Big Bear Aircraft Company, written and illustrated by Chris Sanders, a number of readers responded including Sanders himself.

“Golly, ” Sanders wrote, “I never thought I’d see that thing on the internet. I really wish I could re-do those drawings right about now.

“I read some of the comments earlier, and I think I can provide some perspective as to what I was up to, and what was happening at the time I wrote this.”
