Norm of the North Page #2

---

in front of a boatload

of human tourists.

Twerking!

Have some self-respect, Norm.

I just don't know why everyone wants

to be so nice to these intruders.

They've never done

anything for us

except to come

to our land uninvited.

Ah, your grandfather

had a saying--

"Panem et circenses."

"Bread and circuses."

He meant it's easier to distract

ourselves with food and entertainment

than to think about the real problems.

What happened to Grandpa,

Socrates?

Did he really just disappear?

The theories are plentiful.

Some believe he's on a vision quest.

Some people think he simply

went to search for fish,

while others think he went

to follow the band...

Phish.

Me, I think your grandpa knew

something was happening

and tried to fight it.

And it looks like that something

is happening.

Holy icicle.

Is that a human house?

It's a model home.

A sales tool.

Just arrived, literally,

fresh on the boat.

It means more of these houses

are gonna be coming.

Humans are moving here?

To live?

It starts with the tourists,

then someone says,

"I could do this year round."

It happened to my buddy,

Freddy the flamingo.

He was in Florida,

minding his own business.

Couple of tourists show up.

Next thing you know,

there are plastic statues of Freddy

on everyone's lawn!

We gotta talk to the king.

Norm, that house has nothing to do

with why Grandpa vanished.

Dad, you're not listening,

there's more.

There's a human house

right here on Grandpa's land.

Humans are moving here now.

Ah, Norm, you always did have

such an imagination, now, didn't you?

- First with the poetry--

- I swear it's true.

Socrates and I snuck in.

And look--

from Florida.

Norm, you are not to go

anywhere near there.

Do you hear me?

Grandpa's land is off limits.

Understood?

"Snuck in."

Ha! Norm, you shouldn't

go onto property

that doesn't belong to you.

You should know better.

Besides, I'm sure the house

you're referring to

is simply a research hut.

Look,son,

you wanna be king?

A future king isn't supposed

to get so emotional.

We hunt, we lead, and we sleep.

Simple!

Now there is plenty of ice

to go around.

Just stay away from there!

Far away.

And for the love of salmon,

no more talking human!

You got me?

Yes, Dad.

Did you see that?

He wants to give away the Arctic.

That's it. We're done.

Norm, it all points to the same thing.

Humans are invading our land.

And you are a polar bear

who can speak to humans.

You're the only one who can

do something about this.

Socrates, I can't even hunt.

Norm, your grandpa once told me,

"Norm's the only bear that has

the potential to be king of the Arctic.

"He feels the Arctic's pain.
