What cartoon bear does Tommy Thompson look like?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Its been bothering me for weeks. Tommy Thompson is the former gov of Wisconsin and running for Senate. Whenever I see pictures of him I’m vaguely reminded that I’ve seen his likeness in a cartoon or animatronic bear. But I’m at a loss to figure out where or which one it is. Fozzy bear from the muppets…No…One of those animatronic banjo playing bears from some pizza joint from the 70’s?..maybe.

Can you help remind me which bear he looks lik?

Papa Bear from Looney Tunes maybe?

5

You’re thinking of the bears from Disney’s Country Bear Jamboree, probably Big Al specifically.

At first I too thought Henry “Papa” Bear from Looney Tunes. But I think** Heart of Dorkness** nailed it with Big Al from CBJ

Drunky bear

12

Papa Bear and Big Al both work for me. I had never seen Big Al before and so I thought Papa Bear first.

13

I was at the first “Return to Titletown” event at Lambeau, and this is an apt comparison. The official story was, I believe, that he slurred his speech because “his cheeks were cold”, but I’m not buying it!

14

Between that drunken monologue of his about the Packers, and his famous quote saying that Wisconsin han’t had any encephelopolous infections as of yet but he’d see to it that we got some, I think Drunky Bear is quite apt.
