Synopsis

Using natural attractions, such as caves, a smooth, glacier-like rock-face that ends in a waterfall, and a tipping, balanced rock, Yogi turns a section of Jellystone Park into an amusement area, charging picnic food as admission. Ranger Smith is baffled by the legality of the situation, and hires a computer service to unearth an arcane 19th century law to stymie Yogi.

7. A Joker Goes Wild (Yogi Bear) Comic story, 7.5 pages

Featuring

Feature: Yogi Bear
Genre: Anthropomorphic-funny animals

Credits

: , inker
Colours: Western Publishing Production Shop, colourist
Text: Rome Siemen, letterer [as Rome Siemon]

Synopsis

Wacky, a circus-bear who ordinarily works slapstick routines with clowns, escapes for a sojourn in Jellystone Park. Wacky does not speak (as do Yogi, Boo Boo and most of the other park animals), but communicates only through gestures, facial expressions, and a goofy, but winning, smile. After head-butting Yogi and Boo Boo, he steals Yogi’s clothes and proceeds through the park performing his physical pranks on others, who misidentify him as Yogi.

Notes

This story appears to have had a half-page excised for the Statement of Ownership which follows. While dressed as Yogi, Wacky clonks Ranger Smith with a wastebasket, smacks a fisherman in the face with a fish, and juggles a tourist couple’s oranges having each of them hit the man on the head and smooshes a large chocolate cake onto the woman’s head. Yogi retrieves his clothes from Wacky, who is now in the custody of his trainer – and, appearing as “a brown bear in those very same clothes” – encounters Wacky’s victims in reverse order, and receives the expected retribution. As such, he gets hit with another tourist cake and oranges (page 7, panels 3-4) – but then runs directly into the waste-basket-toting Ranger Smith (page 7, panels 5-7), without any sort of reverse-retribution from the fisherman. But, as he runs into Ranger Smith, he is dripping wet, indicating that the meeting with the fisherman – totaling a half-page – was cut.
