   The bear’s thinking, “I bet he tastes like chicken.”

   Greed draws people into traps. Just lure him with the money. That’s right.

   and the doofus will fall for it…hook, line and sinker.

   I love Wiley’s bears. They know they are the kings of the woods, and that humans are a snack food, easily lured….

   —does a bear fish in the woods??

   okeedoekee said, 4 months ago

   It’s the fish he wants.

   Does the bear need a license to go humaning?

    Nice cast.

    And I thought only the apes learned from us by observing us. Smart bear. I’ll remember that the next time I’m fly-fishing in the mountains.

    —-

    Obviously you’ve never had cats as pets, gmartin. They can learn to be downright manipulative.

    Bear must have run out of Charmin!

    Yes. They maintain a bit of their cuteness while looking better and acting a whole lot smarter than the average human. Contrast this with his ‘generic’ humans: always a bit on the goofy side.

    Perhaps a not so subtle message, here…

    I guess one can’t judge a person bye his/her username, guntotingliberal. I wouldn’t guess you to be a cat lover by that.
    I can’t stand cats.
    Does my username explain it?

    okeedoekee, my allergies won’t permit it, but I’d take a dog anytime…and I’d make sure that he hates cats as much as I do.

    Today’s strip is somewhat reminiscant of the Far Side.

    The bear market insider knows the value of the dollar is really up in the air for now.

    We have a fishing poem, but we will only post one poem per day because of lack of popular demand.
    We’ll know if that changes.

    A. (poems are posted in the bleachers)

    We reserve the right to arm bears.

    DigitalFrog said, 4 months ago

    With today’s economy, the dollar doubles as both the bait and the sinker…

20. 

    DD FENCE EMET said, 4 months ago

    @ billokc:

    This bear’s Russian. He’s fully armed in his own right. He never trusted in ARM’s. Too risky.

    Can we start arming the American Eagle now?

    Uhhh, who’s dollar is higher today? Canada or USA?

21. 

    DD FENCE EMET said, 4 months ago

    Perfect love casts out fear. The bear must be named ‘perfect love’, because we’re sure afraid of what the dollar is going to do!

    Let’s see… the bear must be Russia, and the fisherman Obama– Wiley, with his usual lightning-fast drawing reflexes, is reacting to yesterday’s arms-control news!

    Good thing it’s legal to carry guns in our national parks now. I’ll bet he’s got a Glock in his tote bag.

    cats can´t learn to be manipulative.
    they are born that way.

    He’s hoping to land a “trophy” CEO. So far he’s only taken minnows.

    the neighborhood cat says “shhhhh, don’t let the secret out!”
    
    Another thought, with the right bait you can catch anything.

    I wonder if that bear was paid by PeTA to elimiate the human anglers & fishermen?

    vexatron1984 said, 4 months ago

    You’ve got that right jml58, but I love the little dears anyways. Thats why cats have already secretly taken over the world.

    GuntotingLiberal said, 4 months ago

    Uh, what, Okeedokee? I was referring to his comment about apes, not his username. And btw, I’ve got 3 cats (much neater and less slobbery animals than dogs).

    crunkbot said, 4 months ago

    i’m sure he will notice the huge bear approx. 8 feet away.

    pbarnrob said, 4 months ago

    And we were thinking it was the mice running the experiments…

    sensrule92 said, 4 months ago

    I guess the bear got tired of pick-a-nic baskets.

    @CogentModality: i hope that the bear didn’t run out of Charmin. Those commercials creep me out. Tom the Dancing Bug had a good take on them: http://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/2009/01/17/

    Silly Bear, all he has to do is jump, and Dinner Time!

    Trebor39 said, 4 months ago

    A grisly bear was chasing me. I knew it didn’t climb trees. I jumped for a limb six feet off the ground, missed it, but caught it on my way down.

    As Wiley has had to explain many times, these comics are drawn several *weeks* in advance. Any political interpretation made is yours.

    Don’t think bears eat Chocolate, It’s Chocolate Day don’t give to dogs though…

    madKanga said, 4 months ago

    Jumping is what Tiggers do best. Climbing trees, on the other hand, is what bears do best - sorry Trebor39.

    Yes, I know. Sarcasm! Ha!Ha!
