I don't remember who did it... but there was a comic put out called HeroBear. It was very Calvin and Hobbes-esque about a boy and his stuffed bear. It was a neat premise... but never made it past issue #1.
Herobear and the Kid was done by Mike Kunkels. It was a very sweet and well-drawn comic. I have the first issue, but I think you are right that it didn't make it much past the first issue.
There is a great status/maquette of it that regularly comes up on eBay. Here's one:

(Note: I'm not selling it, nor am I affiliated in any way with the person who is)
I've got it and it is a great sculpt (if you are in to that sort of thing).
For a 2-year period, I went on a crazed eBay binge and bought every comic-related statue and maquette I could find. Now I have a den full of them and I'm not sure what to do with them all. Luckily, Heromorph has replaced my eBay addiction. It's much cheaper to collect manips and they take up much less room!
As for comic companies that I miss, First Comics and Comico would definitely be up there at the top.
And, I don't know if they're still around, but who didn't love Deep Sea Comics, publishers of one of the greatest comics of all time 'Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman'!
(Now there would be a good subject for a manip. I always thought Jim Belushi would be a good cast choice. Any takers?)
