Interesting Note: TWB was never intended to be a "furry" strip.
Besides the fact it wasn't intended to be a regular feature in the
first place, polar bear was chosen simply as a clearly-Alaskan icon,
and as a stereotypically bad-tempered, grumpy sort. I mean, would you
want to tell a grumpy bear that you broke your marker and need it fixed by Friday?

When I started thinking about a regular-feature strip, I started planning the
usual "fish out of water" gags; customers surprised at a bear working the
counter, calling Fish & Game who would come and tranquilize him and try to
transplant him back to the arctic, yadda yadda.

I thought those jokes were too cliche`d, however, and wanted to focus on the
shop/customer jokes, which is why I drew the original comic in the first place.
