This black-and-white cartoon by Mark Anderson depicts a bemused bear family-two adults and a cub-standing in a supermarket aisle as a human clerk gestures toward shelves stocked with generic goods. The punchline, “That’s in the storybook aisle, right past the gingerbread and magic beans,” satirizes retail absurdity and childhood fantasy logic. The scene blends realism with surreal humor, highlighting the disconnect between literal interpretation and metaphorical product placement.
