Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 25, 2023

Don’t you have another bear to snuggle with?

You should have been better bearpared.

Teach a bear language and it gets all hopeless and depressed.

…Ooh, how can you bear it all alone?…

…well, I hope those picnic baskets were worth it…

…you can come in, but only for the night, and you have the couch…

…I heard the zoo has an opening…

…you’re almost pathetic as the Chicago Bears…

…almost…

…oh, look, a honey factory…

…are you Catholic?…

…does the Pope poop in the woods?…

…we only serve Black bears here in Blackbear, Alaska…

…brown bears have to stay in Anchorage…

You know what’s funny? People from places where it rarely snows. And then… a few snowflakes fall, and they think a blizzard is headed their way!!! If this is a bear that lives in the outskirts of a city, it’ll survive just fine on food scraps from the nearest dumpster.

I thought all snowflakes were unique. These look the same. Only in the comics.

is THAT how they think?

No wonder the bear is the Russian Empire’s nickname/Spirit Animal®. Have you seen what winters are like there? I always thought Russians ought to hibernate over the winter months. That way, their literature wouldn’t be so dark and fatalistic.

BooBoo and Yogi Bear…

Charmin TP in the mix will get a room at Mr. Whipple’s main squeeze bed and picnic.

Is that Putin bear?

Must be Yogi Bear….he was never a bear scout so he’s never prepared!

This is an ursa major problem … return to where you hibernated last year … declare war on the current occupant/s, because you were there first and want it back …!

( unless it’s a parking lot now … then you’re probably screwed )

The Bernstein Bear’s empty warehouse. The Jewish people are in after Christmas*laughing* whole hardaly as a rest can be had there.

The bear is catastrophizing; needs a bearapist. (ugh, sorry.)

Nature has her way of dealing with the weak and slow. Don’t whine! Just set about finding or making a place for yourself. A bear’s gotta do what a bear’s gotta do!

Just do it! (As some copywriter once said….)

Have you tried bearbnb?
