    The tuna looks scrumptious!

      I never could stand the taste of tuna in oil. This just takes it to a new level.

    1. Bearman Avatar

    Oops, sorry, wanted to type more and accidentally hit the submit button. My bad. Anyway, where did you go during your time off? Or did you just lounge around? I love the gulf oil tuna fish, lol.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Visiting family. And lounging.

  10. Joenis Avatar

    LMAO, sad.. but FUNNY! Good one man. :]

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Sad but funny is my mantra.

    *chew chew chew – gulp* Slides right down!
    Happy that you’re back good sir! 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And sad you are leaving.

      1. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

        Thanks much, sir – me too! 🙂

  12. MJ Avatar

    Ha,ha,ha! Good stuff! The cartoon not the tuna!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Don’t knock it until you have tried it.

  13. Scott Oglesby Avatar

    I would rather see BP execs packed in oil.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      They are probably wondering why no one is giving the owners of the rig any hell.

  14. G Avatar

    I like that, it’s both tasteless and funny.

    Tell me, is the fish’s name Charlie or Tony?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Instead of Charlie Tuna, I like to call him Charlie Tuma (as in “It’s not a tuma”

  15. Dave Hambidge Avatar

    That’s a corker to come back with… ouch!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Why didn’t someone else think of just using a cork?

  16. Brad Avatar

    Mmmmm. Deliciously thick crude tuna.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You can almost taste it.

  17. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    Well I guess they finally have a brand that Charlie might be good enough for. Good to have you back Bearman. I hope you are well rested and ready to hit the ground runnin’.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well at least walking slowly. Let’s not go crazy.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        Sorry… My type A personality don’t understand goin’ slowly. I have two speeds… wide open and stopped. The problem is that it is hard to tell the difference at my age.

  18. Don Mills Avatar

    Sorry, Charlie, only the oiliest Tuna get to be Starkist.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I knew there was some tag line that I was forgetting.

  19. Friggin Loon Avatar

    About friggin time. Where the *$#$#@@^&%$#@%@!%$@#%$ have you been. Sheez, your guests were great but didn’t pack the insults that we have all grown to love 🙁
    I have my suspicions you were actually playing for the USA at the World Cup and that’s why you are back early !!!!

    I heard you can also get char grilled turtles in a can too.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I was the Waterboy. Did you see me on the sideline??

    To borrow the tagline of a chocolate candy:
    “BP Kist melts in your mouth, not in your hand.”

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think it melts everywhere.

  21. jynksie Avatar

    Thank GOD yer back! I didn’t know what opinion to have on the issues w/o your politically themed wit to lead my way! =)

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Give me a topic and I’ll let you know how to think.

    Haha,

    The Tuna looks so happy covered in oil.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I hear it is good for the skin.

  24. bschooled Avatar

    Way to come back with a bang, Bear!

    They could market it “Tuna Surprise!”

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That was always when I packed lunch when Tuna Surprise was on the school menu.

  25. jb Avatar

    Hey man welcom back. Now that’s the idea help them decide wahat to do with all the fish and sea life. Just think any and all fish coming out of the Gulf is aready batetered and ready to fry.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Oooh so true…Another good product. Pre battered fish.

  26. Tony Avatar

    Ha Ha Ha I love it. Hope the oil isn’t high in cholesterol

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Just don’t deep fry it.

    Welcome back!
    Nice tuna fish can.
    Add some basil and croutons to that.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I’ve heard of tuna and crackers but not tuna and croutons

  29. RogerAD Avatar

    I suppose it is truth in advertising and heck, might even cut out some overhead. They can go straight from the net to the can.

    It would be funny if it weren’t true 🙁

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Then it would be the freshest.

      Thanks for stopping by.

    I buy mine packed in water. Now, it’ll come with oil whether I want it or not. Do I have to pay an energy tax on it as well? Federal, state and local gas taxes? Will I require a skimmer after I open the can? What wine goes with it? What type of bread is best suitable for absorbing the oil without falling apart? Will Dancing With The Scars be returning next season (Damn, I hope not)?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I don’t think wine would go with it. Fosters in a can. Looks like an oil can and tastes like oil

      1. jammer5 Avatar

        Ya, tasted Fosters once . . . thought it was Vegemite.

        1. jammer5 Avatar

          Still do 🙂

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Gonna have to try this vegemite stuff one day.

  31. Dan Long Avatar

    Mmmm…blackened tuna.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      An even better way I could have taken this joke.

  32. George Avatar

    You’ve been gone?

    Hunh. I really need to start paying better attention.

    Jus’ kiddin’, Bearman. Welcome back! You’ve been sorely missed. 😀

    PS: I like your BP cartoon. It’s one of the best I’ve seen on the subject.

  33. blunt delivery Avatar

    tuna = eew.

    you’re back = not so eew.

    1. Bearman Avatar
