Berenstain Bears aside, did you notice that there's a lot of Porky Pigglish style nudity among most of the bears in my illustration? There seems to be a theme here, particularly given yesterday's blog.
Rupert is clearly a dandy, or a second year med student. Yogi and BooBoo look fairly normal, except that BooBoo is wearing a bow-tie (somewhere a siren is ringing). Hmmm. The Root Bear looks like a bottomless cup of pumpkin latte that's lost his snowboard. Winnie-the Pooh seems proudly self conscious about his blatant display of androgyny.
The Berenstain Bears make Grant Wood's American Gothic look racy. The red-nosed Fozzy is either a Crown Prosecutor or (see Rupert). Baloo is morbidly obese...a veritable ursine meat market. Smokey is the bear's bear, recently returning from a tour as back-up singer for the Village People. Snuggles is just plain crazy (death to the infidels, and the unwashed). And then there's rainbow Bear...nuff said.
