An Unlikely Pair

Based on the comic strip by Bob Scott, this is the story of eleven-year-old Molly, whose best friend is an 800-pound bear who’s afraid of everything and definitely not scary -- but Molly has to figure out a way to convince the world that Bear is not a threat.

Bob Scott lives in both the world of comic strips and animation. Born in Detroit, he began drawing at a young age by copying what he saw in the funny pages. After graduating from California Institute of the Arts, Bob entered the world of character animation and has worked for over thirty-five years in the industry as an animator, character designer, storyboard artist, and voice talent for Warner Brothers, DreamWorks, Pixar, and more. Bob has always wanted a comic strip of his own, and so ＂Bear with Me＂ (a.k.a. ＂Molly and the Bear＂) was born and became a syndicated webcomic in 2010. In partnership with his wife, Vicki, Bob turned this webcomic into their middle grade debut, An Unlikely Pair.

Vicki Scott began her career in animation and has worked on films for DreamWorks and Pixar. An Unlikely Pair--based on the syndicated comic strip ＂Bear with Me＂ by her husband, Bob--is her middle grade debut.
