"There but for the grace ..."
It was expected to be a given that any and all visitors entering Jellystone Park were given a warning to beware the park bears and avoid feeding or teasing such, with particular emphasis towards a certain Yogi Bear, notorious for stealing "tourist-type goodies" from picnic areas without provocation.
But to imagine the Invisible Motorcycle of the Hair Bear Bunch, driven by the ever-dopey Square Bear, arriving at the entrance gates to present their Golden Eagle Card (allowing unlimited access to national park lands) for access, even the likes of Ranger Murgatroyd, so manning that particular station, could not believe such defiance of physics and the laws thereof ... let alone the fact of three bears, formerly of the Wonderland Zoo until forced into closure thanks to the insanity of Zookeepers Lionel Botch and Eustis Peevly aggravating general incompetence and mismanagement (and those two now wasting away in a sanatorium), actually riding same. Which was enough to send Ranger Murgatroyd into near-panic mode, having to call Ranger Smith at No. 2 Ranger Station for instructions (even with the pass having been shown and cleared to go).
Barely five miles into Jellystone Park, the ever-cautious Ranger Smith had to pull over the Invisible Motorcycle and, before being able to issue that warning about a certain Yogi Bear and his habit for stealing picnic baskets, turned that proverbial white as a sheet in seeing three almost laid-back bears defying physics.
"Could you PLEASE explain what exactly this Invisible Motorcycle is about?" asked an irate Ranger Smith.
To which the ever-jocund Hair Bear responded, "Actually, it's a product of Square Bear, who drives it."
"I just don't believe it," Ranger Smith exclaimed. "I just DON'T believe this is happening!!"
"Uh, Mr. Park Ranger," Square was quick to explain, "this is our primary way of getting across the country." Prompting Hair Bear to add, "I don't know how he does it ... but we sure get around!!"
Which had the somewhat-difficult-to-understand Bubi chiming in: "You can understand, Mr. Ranger clyde, that this motorcycle is rather powerful innovative, that we've managed to--" until Square covered up Bubi's mouth as a signal to, in effect, stifle it. Square, for his quarter, rejoindered, "What Bubi was saying was this this motorcycle manages to get around without serious detection."
"A stealth motorcycle?!!" was how Ranger Smith put it.
"But at any rate," Hair remarked, "for years, the zookeepers at the Wonderland Zoo were forever threatening us with being sent off into 'the National Forest,' whatever that was, for our shenannigans."
"And, by contrast," Ranger Smith added, "I've repeatedly threatened Yogi with being sent to the St. Louis Zoo--and several others, including in Duluth."
"Awww, Duluth," Hair added. "Charming little city on Lake Superior--the Aerial Bridge, Skyline Parkway, the lakefront--"
"What I was bound to get at, folks," Ranger Smith remarked, "was to beware of a certain Yogi Bear in particular ... he can be rather sneaky with the picnic baskets of tourists, and you never know where he can turn up among the picnic areas from day to day!"
"But then again," Hair added, "we're bears ourselves!"
(Ranger Smith promptly gave himself a facepalm of sheer disbelief.)
*************
Meanwhile, Yogi Bear and his ever-cautious companion Boo-Boo could be seen strolling in the general vicinity of another picnic area, hoping for some "serious tourist-type goodies," never mind Boo-Boo's inevitable rejoinder about "The ranger's not gonna like this, Yogi" for what seemed like the quadrillionth time.
"But then again, Boo-Boo buddy," Yogi responded, "can you just imagine what the reaction would be with a few of my fellow ursines actually visiting Jellystone for once, joining ourselves truly and then some--"
Only to be interrupted by the most disbelieving sight ever to face such ursine companions--that of the Invisible Motorcycle and the occupants thereof, otherwise known as the Hair Bear Bunch. And as it turned out, Hair held tight a bag full of box lunches from a park convenience store just up the road a ways for which the three were planning something remotely resembling picnic lunch. And it was the sight of Yogi and Boo-Boo that led Square to essentially brake that Invisible Motorcycle at a pulloff close to a rarely-used picnic site beside Jellystone Lake's Ursa Arm, with all three dismounting (or what passes for it) rather suddenly and Yogi and Boo-Boo going into the recognititory double-take with the Hair Bear crew.
"On behalf of Jellystone Park," Yogi began with rather inherent bombast, "may I welcome you fellow members of the ursine community to this rather amazing place of wonder and relaxation--" Whereupon Boo-Boo responded, "I have to acknowledge that my companion, Yogi Bear, can sometimes get in a little too over his head when it comes to welcomes--let alone a desire for tourist food."
Which had the Hair Bears laughing uproariously.
"And, may I guide our honoured guests over to this picnic area--" (Which, even with a short walk across a gravelled path which must've seen better days, was not good enough to attract the suspicions of park rangers led by the ever-vigilant Ranger Smith, never mind the stench from a pit toilet in the same picnic area as had somehow made that particular site less attractive of late to visitors as the rangers hid some distance away close to some wild hemp plants.) Finding the right table was pretty much a picnic right there when--
"Uh, Yogi--allow us to introduce ourselves. I happen to be Hair Bear--"
"I've heard much about you yourself!" respondeth Yogi.
"--and," Hair continued, "the same about you. Now, I happen to be a rather crazy-minded, fun-loving example, formerly of a certain zoo as went downhill--"
"Not so much by your antics, I understand," as Yogi put it, "as by zookeeper incompetence." To which Boo-Boo added, "Was it really true that the zookeepers at the Wonderland Zoo went insane?"
"How right you are, Boo-Boo!" Hair added. "But don't quite blame us."
"Yeah," Square chimed in. "I happen to be Square Bear, driver of the Invisible Motorcycle and the brains, you might say, of all manner of crazy antics we're fond of getting into."
To which Yogi enquired, "Such as--?"
Square continued: "Killing time in a Secret Surf Spot we have north of Malibu ... crashing all manner of parties ... and just roaming the roads, being ourselves."
"I should add, also," Hair added, "that Square Bear is also especially fond of the females ... and in many of our outings, some lovesick female or two proposititons us, and such will be the cue for us, led by Square Bear, to have some wonderful matings ... doesn't mating feel wonderfully natural ..." Making Boo-Boo giggle somewhat at the very mention of mating, and prompting Yogi to apologise somewhat.
"Bubi Bear, Bubi's the name," so beginning his spiel. "I may seem a little hard to understand the clyde, hard to wonder what exactly I'm thinking all this time, and yet I happen to have my share of the experiences and then some...."
Which had Boo-Boo wondering "Yogi ... what exactly is Bubi Bear trying to say?!" Whence Yogi responded, "I've got to acknowledge that even yours truly, this smarter-than-the-average ursine, can get rather dumbfounded by Bubi's remarks and how he explains them!!"
Which had the Hair Bears laughing heartily as they went into their box lunches of ham-and-cheese sandwiches, chips, pickle and seltzer water, which were generously shared with Yogi and Boo-Boo even as the rangers in Yogi Watch mode were wondering what to make of this meeting of the bears in the bushes even as Cindy, the one true love Yogi could not resist. came strolling by (and, for some reason, couldn't help but notice the Hair Bear Bunch with a certain "come-hither" look as was practically enough to arouse her ursine passions long enough to send the Hair Bears into a nearby denuded patch of land many of the park's bears had used for generations, it seemed, as a sacred mating ground, and not even Yogi could resist reacting in bewilderment at the cries of ursine pleasure vis-a-vis Cindy and the Hair Bears sating the fires of their ursine loins.....
"Which just makes you wonder, Yogi," Boo-Boo remarked on clearing up the picnic site, "if that Hair Bear Bunch is for real."
Yogi replied: "They're real by me ... even with a zoo background, come to think of it!"
Summer Date wlw for @makes-me-feel-yellow
I hope you like it! I really loved making this palette. Thinking about the concept filled my head with so many picture and colors and ideas! The idea that kept coming back was a picnic on the beach.
