I don’t remember bear grease, but I do remember Vaseline Hair Tonic. Probably the same stuff. Or…“Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya, Brylcreem, you’ll look so debonair, Brylcreem, the gals’ll all pursue ya,… simply rub a little in your hair.” Not much pursuit except my mom wanting to kill me for greasing the pillow cases.
I like how his friend (forget his name) progresses from happy in the first panel, then concerned, shock, and finally revulsion. I’m sure if there was room for it in the last panel, Scott would have added a well placed “NGAAAHH!!”.

Depending on how large the jar is, if I ate half of the pickled herring in it, I’d probably “hock” it too… ☺

Bear grease is wonderful for waterproofing leather boots. Unfortunately, it also smells like a bear.

Victorian people would also be able to read that everything was awful 150 years prior.
