Roots

Hehe, is it wrong that I thought that the Magic: The Gathering in-joke was the best part?

Nope. And to this day, I still wonder why they replaced Grizzly Bears with Runeclaw Bear.

Think Charles and his family as african american and the word "Teddy" as "******". Then the strip will make sense.

I really don't think an explanation was necessary.

It's pretty obvious.

I wonder whether Charles may be related to Skyrim Bears. He certainly slaps his kid around like one.

Thanks for that, Captain Obvious.
Sorry if this comes across as rude, but your post was fairly patronising.

A pacifist who uses corporal punishment? Makes sense.

Hehe, is it wrong that I thought that the Magic: The Gathering in-joke was the best part?

Nope, I thought it was fantastic. Also, let's all be honest. Papa grizzly [http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=129586] is the superior murder machine.

I assumed that Charles was the young bear on the receiving end of the slap.

There's bears and there's teddies.

And teddies have got to go.

Hahahahahahaha

Oh man, this strip is just a barrel of laughs. I'm glad there is no one home, I laughed like an idiot.

Since the strip is called roots, that what i assumed as well

sorry to admit.... I needed it.. I read this comic and just kinda sat thinking "wtf?"

Best part of the whole strip is "The Allegory of The Cave Bear"

I didn't get it, and I'm glad he explained it.

 

[dubious_wolf]

I don't know what to do with this...
The politically correct me wants to be "above it all" and not legitimize the allegory.
The normal me wants to laugh really really hard.

...Dilemma...

Andrew Gregoire and no hidden Penis? Outrage.

I enjoyed this comic, now to read today's iamarg.

If you're wondering why the strip is full of bears all of a sudden?!?! No, but this...

And so...

"There's Chris Rock fans and there's Magic The Gathering fans,
And this strip just looks like domestic violence - Lol!"

yeah, about that much sense.

Step 1) Don't be an onver sensitive ninny
Step 2) Laugh at the amusing ficitonal cultural comparison of African American respentation by it's youth and the disdain of an older generation of the same.

Thanks for clarifying, I had one of those "Not sure if that's the joke, or if I'm fabricating it".
