Cool Bear has been making guest appearances in a couple places already! I do not intend to pay lawyers to pursue anyone who uses them without permission but I appreciate being asked first — it lets me keep track of where Bear travels.
My only worry regarding Cool Bear is the licensing of the two pieces of artwork: I bought them a while ago on some stock image website but the terms weren't super clear, so I might need to revisit that. Since then I've commissioned drawings of bear and myself (5 variants each) but I haven't had a chance to use those yet — they're not monochrome, which makes dark mode awkward.
I don't have a good way to include the image anyway (or I am too lazy to figure out how to do that in Jekyll, I guess), so its appearance(s) on my blog will be text-only for now. Thus no image license trouble. ;)
