Hey There It's Yogi Bear


Yogi had a hard time adjusted to civilian life after his show was canceled. He arrogantly assumed that he should be treated as a celebrity even as the memory of his accomplishments had receded into the distant past. The final rupture occurred when he was arrested by Ranger Smith for stealing pic-a-nic baskets from visitors to Jellystone Park. Yogi insisted that this was simply ursine profiling because he was a bear of color and the fact that several different empty baskets were found outside of his cave had no relevance to this matter at all. Yogi was arrested and brought down to the Ranger station in handcuffs for disturbing the peace but the charges were later dropped.

Thanks for jogging my subconscious mind with this cartoon of Yogi Bear. I had always thought that Joe Biden's image needed something to complement the plugs and caps. Now, I know what is it is - a pork pie hat.
