Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for September 29, 2023

American Indians must be asking that question still.

He who’s smart and runs away, lives to fight another day.

IRL, Bear would have been put down—permanently.

Has a point, bears were here first !

Ok bear, fine. Get a lawyer and fight them in court. Oh, wait, you can’t. You’re a bear!

I still say Jim S. is just trolling us with this story arc.

He’s got a gray point lady and don’t forget the Indians who really got screwed

Gasoline Alley doesn’t HAVE a zoo, at least I don’t recall one. Maybe he can join up with that guy whose whole menagerie escaped and ended up on Uncle Walt’s front porch.

Environmentalists have been imagining animals asking similar questions as human development intrudes into what used to be natural or wilderness areas.

Tranquilize the bear and hide him out.

Tell the agency folks that the woods can play tricks on people’s minds.

Find this fast growing kids parents and reunite them.

Then move on to a different arc, cause this one has jumped the shark.

Because the invaders think they run the show. Better follow her advice and lay low for a while, Bear.

Hide or live in a zoo? I vote for hide.
