Building a Better Bear Trap

Trouble's bruin.

 

Here is a Care Bears fanfiction of mine, which is based on the comic "The Think Box Bollix" from the Donald Duck compilation A Christmas for Shacktown. In this story, little Wonderheart Bear(from the new Welcome to Care-A-Lot Tv series on The Hub.*) has decided to become an assistant to local inventor Brightheart Raccoon, which Grumpy Bear takes umbrage at, thinking that he's nothing but a loony inventor. Upon hearing about Brightheart's newest invention the Brain Booster ray, which enables animals to talk and think like humans(and Care Bears) Grumpy decides to trick Brightheart, hoping to thus expose him for the phony that Grumpy believes he is, and make Wonderheart feel less inclined to work for him, but when things quickly go awry, Grumpy may end up needing Brightheart's help! Please enjoy!

BTW, here are some pics of the various OCs from this story:


The shopkeeper bear, who sells Grumpy the lion costume he wears as part of his plan. He's a bit sleep-deprieved because Grumpy gets him up in the middle of the night.

The mysterious bear that Grumpy meets in the woods, who turns out to be a lion affected by the Brain Booster in disguise, with a craving for...roast bear!

 

And finally, a monkey affected by the Brain Booster, who informs Wonderheart about the lion's capture of Grumpy, so she can save him.(I patterned her appearance off of that of the monkeys inhabiting the Forest of Feelings, such as Chai.)

 

 

Music Showcase: That Old Black Magic by Spike Jones

Spike Jones murders yet another classic with his rendition of "That Old Black Magic," set to an episode of The Raccoons, which somehow makes the song even more ridiculous! Please enjoy!

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:Looney Limericks by Frank Jacobs

Ooh...bummer for that guy!

 

 

A collection of humorous limericks(including a few by the limerick king himself, Edward Lear) starring such unforgettable folks as the young man from Bengal who goes to a fancy dress ball garbed as a hamburger bun(with an outcome he didn't forsee...), the old man of Blackheath who accidentally sits on his false teeth(YEOWCH!), the knowing young raccoon who doesn't believe in the moon, the young woman of Niger who takes a ride on the back of a tiger(This won't end well...), the skunk from the dell who dislikes people because of their smell(Wow, how hypocritical is that?), the spotted hyena who takes an aardvark named Lena to the dance, the barber from Bahavia who has his hands full when a large brown bear comes into his shop, and the snail and the tortoise who brag to each other about how fast they are. If you like wacky limericks, this is the book for you!

 

 

Here are a couple of my faves:

 

 



 

As the ever quotable Snoopy once said, "Wouldn't that just unplug your heating pad?"

 

Hmm, he spoils those horses...and doesn't spoil himself enough! :-D
