Joining us for a bonus conversation is the creator behind the smash-hit IDW series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, which tells the story of an anthropomorphic brown bear named Samantha Strong. Sam has built a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, but she does have one small secret: she’s a serial killer.

It is our pleasure to welcome Patrick Horvath onto The Oblivion Bar Podcast!

This is small-town serial killer, an upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm décor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.

So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree."
