Founded in 2010 by the indefatigable Dick Weyls, Bearhole is less a media enterprise and more a genre-bending powerhouse for cultural commentary. Through comics, short fiction, and the occasional music review, Bearhole skewers the familiar with a wink, a grimace, and surprising philosophical depth.
Its output is hard to pin down—by design. One moment you’re chuckling at the daily hustle of a crudely drawn character; the next, you’re knee-deep in a journalistic feat that hits uncomfortably close to home. This is not entertainment for the distracted. Bearhole demands attention—and rewards it with humor, sharp insight, and an ongoing refusal to play by the rules.
In an era of sanitized media, Dick ‘s venture stands out by being scrappy and fiercely independent. Ignore at your own peril.
(Jacques Prélude, Bearhole in Context, 2025)
