That might be a party trick, but I'm not going to be impressed until I see one of 'em riding a bicycle in a fez and a tutu...

Castela is way cute... I think Kath is going to be pleased. The twins are interesting... and typical of most sets of twins... one barely talks and the other has diarrhea of the mouth...

Can't help but wonder what kind of therapy Jet and Monica are going through about now...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't say that! I need my daily dose of cute for a while, please? That really heavy storyline, plus my really heavy RL ordeals, I need some cute to get back on track.

As these two new ladies are still in school-I'm assuming High School, from their style of speaking-should we assume that they're Ursa Minors?

*clink*

Can't believe that nobody beat me to pointing out that they're a pair of Ursa minors.

(Actually, someone did.)

If that's the case, of course, then it wouldn't be surprising they're in Minnesota. After all, the state motto is "Etoile du la Nord" (Star of the North).

Let me fix that. It's L'etoile du Nord(My baby sister was a French Major, and my baby brother a French Minor(*rimshot*), so they never let me even joke incorrectly(though mine is more roundabout by the way of Latin, so it's a bit more stilted.).

Ladies and Gentlemen, I cannot tell you how proud I am to be part of an online forum which as managed to go two whole pages of strip commentary with nobody -- absolutely nobody -- making anything even resembling a hint of commentary about ursine hygiene in the deep forest! You're a class act, people! Keep it up!

...and watch out for Italians and helmet-spikes.

... and sewage settling ponds.

Must See. Go. Now. Do!

Gee, and here I thought you meant this...

Hopefully - for next week - we continue the lighthearted theme . The publisher stands behind these comments - in hopes that they will hide him from flying gobs of snicker-snee that currently are flying around edited one time - stupid fingers...

[Hansontoons]

Well, if we're going to go in for classic references:
"Balloons... and blunderbusses!"

...and watch out for Italians and helmet-spikes.

Add in "Those Daring Young Men in their Jaunty Jalopies".

As to the Ursa's place in the American Indian pantheon just look here. As for the girls names I am guessing that their folks used a single name "Bernadette" and split it into 2 names "Berdine and Nadette" both names are forms of the one. The remaining unanswered questions are 'is the balloon animal her sister' and 'are they actually 2 beings or is one a projection of the other'. (Sorry for any migraines that last thought may cause).

You silly, silly boy... Remember Ockham's razor! Why complicate things? Besides, to paraphrase Freud: sometimes, twin shapeshifing bears are simply twin shapeshifting bears...

Nice paraphrase.

And as far as the names it occurred to me that the girls are sharing 2 names Bernadette and Nadine, mixing them so they can always be part of each other.

While good, I didn't think Jalopies was as good as Flying Machines. But still good. (All three of these are in my dvd collection, of course) And The Great Race - ya gotta love a movie where the first half-hour or so is a live-action Coyote-Roadrunner cartoon......

Which brings up The Villain. Handsome Stranger (Played by Ahnohld) delivering the line: "Want to hear anothuh knock-knock joke?" to Ann-Margaret.....

[Fairportfan]

"Handsome Stranger - that is my name. I was named after my father."

[NOTDilbert]

Party tricks are the best!

Hehe. Berdine and Nadette are not names that I can tell (not in a traditional way, anyway), but Bernadette and Bernadine are.

Nadine is also a common(ish) name...at least in the South. And actually, Berdine is listed on a baby-names website as a possible female name. It's apparently a short form of Bernardine (like Chris is the short form of Christopher I guess). Nadette wasn't on that site's list...but that doesn't mean someone hasn't given a girl that name before. It just feels weird that they're from out west with names like those. I'd expect names like that from the more hillbilly areas of the US.

Isn't California called "The Bear State"? That used to be Arkansas' motto, 'fore they kilt off purt near all ahr dang bahr...I mean, before they killed off almost all our bears...heh....

[Fairportfan]

There was, i believe, a California "Bear Republic", whence cometh the "Bear Flag"
