Yeah, and there were a lot more bears roaming around in 1962.

Flaude definitely had the cartoonists’ touch. Look at that crazy, lovesick bear. Beautiful! He even labeled the television to eliminate confusion for elderly readers. The man was a legend.

I remember reading this when it was first published, I didn’t realize it was a gag and threw out all my Busy Bee tobacco. Tom, I love the new video at:

It’s a bleeep shame that we can’t show tobacco in a simple, honest cartoon like this today without the thought police breathing down our necks.
Thanks for sharing this one from the archives. I never saw this comic before it was on-line but it looks like it was always a clever one.
