Why teddy bears, anyhow? I mean, I’ve heard the stories about Roosevelt and whatever, but… Bears. Man, those things are dangerous!

So Lowell didn’t serve poptarts so the raccoon went to see what was on offer next door?
Wonder if the entire tribe is living with Lowell? Nice bit on giving Kara a bit to make her heart race too. Never a dull moment…
Raccoon: “How do those really big faces get into such tiny little boxes, and do they want a friend, too?”
WHY can’t I keep thinking of Rocket Raccoon when I see this one spending his time in front of the computer. lol
The story of the teddy bear is not quite as cute as history has led us to believe. I worked at a television station in Greenville, MS for a year a long time ago and the library had a complete archive about the tale. The real story is:
Roosevelt did in fact refuse to shoot the bear tied to a stake stating it was not sporting to do so. Instead he had some of the helpers in the party cut the bear’s throat and then they had it for dinner that evening.
For obvious reasons the press left the last part of that out of the newspapers.

My understanding is that the toy bears existed already, they just picked up the name after that incident.
And of course they’re dangerous. We’re HUMANS, it doesn’t get much more dangerous than us. Something less dangerous wouldn’t be worth caring about.
Oooh. I like that answer!
I blame the Russians. They have a long history of training their bears to do really weird, sometimes cute, things.

Still, at that size, it’s less of a bear…
…& more of a bear-cub…
…which is more in-keeping with the Roosevelt-story that I’ve heard, anyway.
