Teddy Bears DEATHnic!!

Oh, how cute...

Young Carol gets a present!

But soon that present seems to be exercising an unhealthy influence on her life!

Picking whom you go steady with? Really?

Granted, Jim is being a bit of a controlling douche...but having Teddy "approve" your marriage?

Well, if it makes her feel safer...

Until...'

Well, it turns out that "out west" is indeed pretty "rugged"--and deadly!!

Oh, no!!

What?!?!

Of course, if I were writing this story, it wouldn't that Teddy is really alive or whatever. It would turn out that Carol had latent psionic powers that allowed her (unknowingly) to animate Teddy, turning him into a fierce protector. Until the day she began to go mad, and Teddy began to act on all her subconscious desires...

That's why I'm not allowed to write comic books.
