RIP Jan Berenstain...

As I listen to Metallica's "King Nothing" for no other apparent reason other than it was mentioned in a review of their show in Vancouver in like 1997, I lament the loss of  Berenstain Bear co-creator Jan Berenstain. You see I actually owned one of their books as a wee lad and I really liked it because the kid bears had a fuckin' cool fort in it.

This is the exact book...

Well sadly I found out that Jan passed away the other day at the age of 88 and it made me think of that book. It also made me think of the totally hilarious parodies of those cute little bearsies...

These are real issues YOUR KIDS will have to deal with...

Another real problem...

And who could forget the classic...

Stoned bears that wear clothes are almost as bad as those ones on tv who don't know how to wipe their asses...
