The ursine inhabitants of Katmai N.P. are again being judged for their corpulence. Really? What if we tried the same contest with the park rangers? Or cartoonists? WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED by PETER MOORE
People can be stupid about bears. We have black bears in NH, a lot of of them! The state park trail rangers are having problems with bears "chasing" people this year. They suspect that some numbnuts have been sharing their hiking treats with some of the local bears, who now think people are nature's equivalent of pizza delivery. When they recently began following hikers around (presumably to beg), some people freaked (understandable) and threw food at the bears in order to distract them long enough to let them escape (understandable, but stupid). Now the rangers are trying to figure out what to do about bears who have been taught that humans are living vending machines.... 🙄
250 lb. rats! Scary! Once I made a nice picnic for my wife for us to celebrate her birthday on Mt. Washington. We settled in on a rock outcrop and a young bear came sniffing around. Eventually he made a run at our lunch so we had to make a quick getaway. Only I left the sandwiches behind. Happy bear! Stupid me! It wasn’t the best birthday lunch ever.
Yowza! Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo aren't so cute going after pic-a-nic baskets in real life, I guess! 😂 Maybe it wasn't the best birthday lunch, but I bet you both remember it forever. "Problem bears" in New Hampshire are often shipped up north, where there are large tracts of forest and relatively few people, but the emigrants often fare badly, since it is difficult for them to compete with the resident bears... and sometimes, if their never ending search for food leads them into dangerous behavior (like breaking into houses to raid kitchens, which actually happened to one of the tenants of my in-laws's farm), the Fish & Game folks are forced to shoot them. The saying goes, "A fed bear is a dead bear," as a warning to the soft hearted (headed) people who are tempted to feed the huge beggars...

What do bears eat, I'm wondering?
People who fat-shame them, of course!
And they DESERVE to be eaten!
But of course, with fava beans and a nice Chianti. 😁

LOL, thank you, love these! Love the illustrations.
Thx so much Nadine. I do it all for you (and the bears).
I like Tummy Trouble the best!
I like Fish Face best. That look!
