I suppose Cabela’s may be better known in some parts of the country than LLBean is. (I live in the Northeast, and grew up in Bean boots 50 years ago, but I never heard of “Cabela’s” until this moment.) Maybe explaining LLBean is just as necessary for some folks as Joe’s explanation of Cabela’s was for me.
I think Delores looks like a cross between Bim The Michelin Man and something, but I don’t think it looks that much like either clothing or a “child” of anything. (Which is why it’s so funny to look at.) Maybe, a blimp in a corset? a lassoed Macys parade escapee? a baked ham? the FF “Thing” with water retention? Well, nobody I think Bim would want to mate with.
The post that first mentioned Cabela’s has been removed as of Saturday July 10, as have all other posts by the same person under this strip and all others on GoComics where I know he posts. I’m sad ‘cause I kinda liked the guy, though he was unmercifully ragged by several other regulars for his meandering musings.
Example (above) of such:
but banks said l.l. bean didn’t he? what’s your point?

I had a gold coat like that in the 70’s! My mother still wears it.

OTOH, since this toon is set in Upstate New York, or thereabouts, I’d think L.L.Bean is more likely than Cabella’s.
