    And remember Smokey’s real saying that the forest service doesn’t want you to know about. Only you can ensure even worse forest fires. It was a little something I learned back in school, either elementary (keep wanting to say it was a Scholastic Weekly Reader article which would have been elementary for me) or seventh grade science. By trying to prevent forest fires we’re actually both setting up conditions to ensure a much worse forest fire as well as ensuring those plants that actually need fire to release their seeds are unable to disperse their seeds.

    Pastis said in the treasury that people got really mad that he portrayed Smokey this wayAlso, apparently his name is “Smokey Bear” not “Smokey THE Bear”But who really cares that much

    I think Smokey is (or originally was) a girl

    Do you know why Smokey and his wife never had kids? Because every time she got hot, he smacked her in the face with his shovel!
