Transcript:
Bennie: Hi, Pig. It's me, Bennie the bear. I want you to know I got rid of my women's boots. Pig: That's great! Now you can chase after rabbits like other bears! Bennie: I don't think so. Pig: Why not? Bennie: My hat will blow off.
Rat: “I can loan you my rifle and you can snipe them from a distance.”Bennie: “Does it have a nice bow on the barrel?”Rat: "Even better, there’s three “my little ponies” on the stock."
Look how long Bennie’s legs are, and look how tall his boots were… am I missing something, or were his feet not at the bottom of the boots? Unless he had about 50 pairs of Dr. Scholl’s in them…
Pig appears to be standing in the same spot in both panels, yet as I see it, the picture on the wall in panel one depicts Rat and Pig, while in panel two, LGD.and Pig.
The picture change in the third panel could be a tribute to Berke Breathed. I seem to recall that the changing picture on the wall was a fairly frequent gag in Bloom County.

Pig should be careful. Bears like pork also.

@blunebottle -I’m glad someone else picked up on that… I was beginning to doubt my own sanity (although others have doubted it for years.)

I sympathize with Bennie. It’s a NICE hat! —Too nice to lose on a wild rabbit chase! Leave that to Elmer.

Fashion is such a demanding mistress.

Soroxas over 11 years ago
I was wondering when Bennie would reappear, although i expected him to be in a hospital or something like that because the boots

If it had a price tag dangling we could say it’s “Pearl’s for Pearls…..”

Bennie obviously doesn’t know that roses in hats are SOOOOOO last month.

Also, the lamp looks a little fatter in the first frame than in the second. You will probably have to zoom in to see it though.

I think Bennie should be brave and wear his BOOTS with his nice new HAT!!!!!
Dex_N_FX over 11 years ago
that hat is similar to the one Stewie Griffin wore on Family Guy

I’m not feeling the funniness in this recurring bear. Bring back the snap-snap mafia frog!!!!!!

Bennie’s a little lite in his loafers.

I think that rat needs to pay you a visit, Firedome.
angusdad over 11 years ago
Sounds like he has identity issues. Although he probably should have kept the boots. They would look good with the hat.

Hats off to Stephan for this one!

But some probably think he needs to get the boot.
JB10000Lakes over 11 years ago
and yet no one asks why bennie doesn’t have “sticks” for legs/feet…..

That’s one queer bear!

Fashion before practicality and comfort.
chris_weaver over 11 years ago
It’s just so hard for Bennie to completely abandon the whole ensemble.

Beauty hurts.
