Sorry, should have done that. Updated post with links.

Thank you very much!

Glad I was able to help get comics going here and thank you :)

Thank you and I hope so!

I vaguely remember these as a kid… https://www.tiktok.com/@80sdeennice/video/7178912186071289131

Instead of read along, maybe I need to call them watch-along-comics?

I think you’re right, it is more like that.

Awesome, glad you got to watch, I know it’s long video. Definitely will do some script writing live streams!

Motion comic makes sense. Thanks Sergio!

Me too 😐

Very cool, looking forward to the article and let me know if you have any questions!

Just to note, I publish Bello as a traditional 4 panel comic and also what I call a “Talkie” vertical video version (Reels/Shorts). These use the art from the comic, adjusted as needed and put to a soundtrack with spoken dialogue.

Also, I publish Bello Bear Episodes Mon, Wed, Fri which are 4 panel and more story driven. Tue, Thu, Sat I publish 1 panel Bello Bear Bits (plus vid version. The premise for these is that Bello and Avery try their hand at open mic comedy.

Bello Bear is on pretty much on all socials: https://www.instagram.com/bellobearofficial/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BelloBellOfficial/ https://x.com/bellobeardotcom https://www.threads.com/@bellobearofficial https://mastodon.social/@bellobearofficial https://www.tiktok.com/@bellobearofficial https://bsky.app/profile/bellobearofficial.bsky.social https://www.linkedin.com/company/bellobearofficial https://lemmy.world/post/34395090 https://www.lemon8-app.com/@bellobearofficial https://www.youtube.com/@bellobearofficial

Lastly, I do have website, but it’s still under construction (https://bellobear.com/).

Hi Johnny, I’m glad you’re keeping up with Bello!

As a matter of fact, I have some Euro in me, specifically German. I was born there and we came to the US when I was 7. My go to comics when I was little were Astérix and Lucky Luke. Once we were in the states, I also read pretty much every comic strip in the daily newspaper. A benefit of having a journalist Dad, who subscribed to 3 newspapers at once.

So as you said, there is a bit of a loophole there. Bello may not be inherently Euro, but they are certainly influences in my life.

Hi Rusty, I ended rebooting the comic strip, starting at episode 1... I want to reach a wider audience and decided to do the comics as video shorts (see example, link above in post description). Of course there's still the traditional 4 panel version.
