‘Lover of mankind’ (even served raw – without a lightly toasted bun, lettuce, tomato and condiments) might be more accurately what’s happening rather than hater of mankind, but doesn’t lend itself to the cute sign… Or maybe the bears are making a statement about the role of humans in environmental degradation and shrinking habitat.
This cartoon gave me an uneasy sense of deja vu that I couldn’t quite place. Then it came to me; my defense of two theses and one dissertation. Unlike the hiker, I survived – bearly.
I’m going to move to Utah and become a Mormon so I can marry her and be Mr. Miss Anthrope. If my current wife doesn’t go for that (how could she possibly have a problem with it) she can stay in upstate NY and become a Vestal virgin.

It figures a guy with a red had will soon go in.

Those Wiley bears just get fatter and fatter. I wonder if they bother hibernating? Not like their food gets harder to find in winter.

I’ve always spelled “misanthropy” with a ‘Y’.

Is there significance to the red hat on a guy waiting to make his (or be the) entree?

Talk about being served!

He is looking at his watch, because he is stewing while he waits. The Wiley bears have their meal preparation down to a “T”

Wiley doesn’t do the colour for the dailies so we can’t blame him for the red hat. Not that I’d blame him or make this political

Hooray for Wiley Bears. I guess the man is wondering why his wife is late to join him for dinner. (She was early and read the sign – and went home)

Is this a popular place? I heard people were dying to get in.
O well, they just got it turned around a little …
… and the dying wasn’t figurative, it was literal
… (Neh – what’s the difference?)

Looks like a familiar layout. Was there an NS strip similar to this one not long ago? Maybe with a different script?

Those Wiley bears are smarter than the average ursine. And have a particular taste for human flesh.

I always enlarge the strip when Wiley Bears grace it. To better see them, of course.

The sign on the podium reminds me of an old Playboy cartoon.
