About the series
From 2010 to 2012, TopatoCo published Beartato, a three-issue comic series centered on the gentle, lumbering adventures of its titular bear-cactus hybrid. Created by Anthony Clark (best known for the webcomic Nedroid), the series brought his signature deadpan humor and minimalist art style to print, chronicling Beartato’s quiet, often absurd interactions with friends like the hyperactive Bird. Though short-lived, the series stands as a beloved artifact of early-2010s indie webcomic culture, preserving the charm of a character who found a devoted online following before leaping into physical comics.
