A friend of mine led me here, and I just had to say I rather enjoyed this comic. :D I've been in this kind of conversation multiple times, and have argued it from at least two different sides. Currently, though, I'd have to side with the bear, even if I'm fairly rabbity in most other aspects. I hope that won't get me drummed out of here. ;)
It's obvious that you've carefully considered all of the arguments, because it's insanely difficult to get something like that down to a concise sentence or two in the panel of a comic strip, and still have them come off as eloquent and non-trivial. The dialogue is very well done! I think I've found another comic to read as part of my morning ritual. Oh dear. =:)
There's nothing wrong with being like the bear in this comic. Most people are like that.
The concise writing did take a lot of revision. I'm really glad it's appreciated, since it took longer than any other step. As with some of the other comics, I kept thinking the script was tight enough... until I tried to draw it, and then I found out that there was a lot less room for chatter than I'd expected.
