Once again, one of my faithful readers has come through with a VERY IMPORTANT Nooz story about…
Bears!
Could it be part of a sinister plot, coordinated from afar by Henrietta (or the bear formerly known as Hank), who now lives at a luxury resort for wayward bears? Is there an army of bears going around the towns near Lake Tahoe putting up posters admonishing people NOT to use bear-proof receptacles for their garbage? Maybe leaving a double cheese, double pepperoni pizza on top of the garbage can sometimes?
But seriously, feeding wildlife is a bad idea. Especially bears. Would you want to wake up and have Frank or Mikey looking in your bedroom window, wondering where breakfast was?
In other NooZ, things are heating up in the trials of Mittens. Frank, Bikkie, and Pookie are STILL on their adventure, and I promise I’ll get back to it soon. I’m also doing my Year in Review over on Substack so go check it out!
Till later…be the bear!

Thanks and a Roll of Honor mention to my brother for alerting me to this important story!
A serious comment for once: I wish I could see humor in this (and as always, Anne’s art is totally on point; great to see Josie and her brothers collaborating). But I follow Appalachian Bear Rescue, and so many of their cubbies are orphaned because of this very issue. I don’t know what lobotomized one-celled creature came up with the idea to remove bear-proof trash cans (no, I don’t think it was Mikey). But please, if you live in Bear Country anywhere, make sure your trash isn’t accessible. Feeding the bears isn’t kind. We want to keep Frank, Mikey and Josie (and Pookie) in our world.
And Anne, I hope I didn’t offend you.
No, but I didn’t have the energy to tell you why I think it’s funny. I think I addressed the “you really shouldn’t do this” in the commentary.
(Tell Mikey and Frank that they are special so feeding them is ok.)😉
Frank: we appreciate your support.
Mikey: I mean…if it had been us…which it wasn’t.
Frank: nope. definitely NOT us.
Mikey: we would NEVER!
I love “My Ipand”.
I like pandifying many words.
