Long before Honey Boo Boo co-opted his name and became America’s Darling, there was a honey-loving bear called Boo Boo. As Robin to Yogi’s Batman, he is that rare breed, a trusted, loyal sidekick who is always standing by with an astute comment like “Aw gee, Yogi” or “The ranger’s not going to like it.” Holy hole in the donut, Yogi! Those are some pretty astute comments!

Although Boo Boo is Yogi’s second in command, I’ve always suspected he was the brains of the outfit. A lot smarter than he appears. If that’s true, and Yogi is smarter than the average bear, then Boo Boo is smarter than the above-average bear!

As luck would have it, there’s a song about Boo Boo. (What were you expecting, a limerick?) You can enjoy this obscure gem by clicking the link below.
