I'm just scrolling through GIS, I had no idea there were like three bajillion of these books or that they got so Jesusy.



E: Though that is the Old Testament, hmmm...

E2: MIKE Berenstain? Hmm again.

Dude I have seen a lot of rabbis in my life and I can tell you there is no way in hell that bear is not a Protestant pastor

For the record I definitely remember "stain" not "stein" due to the pronunciation, guess I was born in this dimension

e: I guess he might be a young cool priest who plays guitar at Mass but he is definitely not a rabbi

What I'm getting from this is that Stan & Jan Berenstain were so good at raising their son Mike with Traditional Family Values that he became a Jesus freak who is completely unable to write anything that doesn't sound like it came out of a Tea-Party-affiliated local newspaper's editorial page

Next up, "The Berenstain Bears Repeal Obamacare". Living Lights: A Faith Story.

e: Mike Berenstain's Mama Bear at least has decent taste in hats

yeah but look at him when the right kind of bears move in



:stare: Those bears are terrifying though, this is some The Hills Have Eyes poo poo

Jan's involved in this one too, clearly Stan's influence was what initially kept the franchise from going full teabagger

According to Stan&Jan's Wikipedia page, Stan was Jewish and Jan was Episcopalian. I'm guessing she had more to do with Mike's spiritual upbringing than Stan did.

Whoa, I thought I had read all of those as a child. I had no idea they had a third cub?? I wonder if the couple that wrote them is still married.

They're dead, hence Mike's Living Lights takeover, but yeah I guess the Berenstain family wasn't a clear enough ripoff of The Simpsons without a baby

That cloth baby-tiara thing is offending my sensibilities :catstare:

I love the retard smug look on the yokel bear patriarch.

He has palmed a small nip of moonshine and is using that handshake to secretly pass it to Papa Bear as a promise of more 'shine to come if he keeps his hick mouth shut. The Berenstain Bears love their neighbors.

The real conspiracy is that The Simpsons is basically a parody of the Berenstain Bears.

Holy poo poo this works extremely well
