think about it . yogi bear be a free spirit who chafe at the rule and regulation of his limited world and and yet enjoy the comfort it offer . his swiping of picnic basket be less to satisfy hunger than to thumb his nose at the establishment and personify by ranger smith . his appearance on tv in the early 60 be fortuitous and a it coincide with the start of the beatles career and the beginning of the hippie movement . i wouldn not have be surprise to see yogi wear love bead and carry a make love and not war sign . lol trouble with hanna barbera and though and be once they have a good thing go and they do not know when to stop . after the success of yogi and they churn out numerous and inferior copy represent wally gator and magilla gorilla and the hair bear bunch and etc . originality be not their forte .
