I will be taking a break from new comics for a bit. Don’t worry Bello will continue on, but at the moment I want to take advantage of other media, especially video to help Bello gain a larger following.

What the heck does that mean? Well, I’ve figured out a way to turn comics into video. Here’s an example of what I mean… https://youtube.com/shorts/L8D6iqctfDE

Unfortunately, Lemmy is not video friendly so I won’t be posting them here, but you can sub to my Youtube if you like… https://www.youtube.com/@bellobearofficial

So where does that leave us for new episodes. Don’t worry, they will be coming! It will just be a little while, as I create and post video versions of all the past episodes so far. Once I’m caught up, posting will commence as normal.

      Thank you :) I had planned on doing the voices myself, but (a) there was not enough differentiation for my taste and (b) I’m just not that good of a voice actor. Not to mention, time is always of the essence and it took me wayyyyy to long. In the end I ended up researching all the AI voice generators and found one I like, that sounded pretty human. I was also able to create voices from scratch with it, so I’m not using off the shelf stuff.

      Ultimately, I would love to animate these more, but even though I have the know how, it is insanely time consuming and not in the cards right now.
