Norm of the North

---

Don't listen to the haters, Norm.

You're a polar bear.

You got this.

I mean, look at those paws.

You're an animal-- literally.

It's an all-you-can-eat seal buffet.

Go fill your plate.

Read 'em and weep, boys.

Cari-boo-yah!

Full house.

I'd bet antlers he fails again.

Ah, he looks hungry.

I'm giving ten-to-one odds

he catches the poor pinniped.

They say I can't hunt.

Oy, phooey! How can I be king

if I can't hunt?

This is gonna hurt.

Oh!

That wasn't so bad.

Oy, that was bad.

They say he doesn't have any focus.

Huh? Hi, Elizabeth.

Hi.

Augh!

Jeez, it's like pure ice up here.

An accident waiting to happen,

you know?

I mean, somebody should really

do something about this, huh?

Ahem.

Lemmings.

Anyway, I really

should get goin' now.

I've got a seal to go catch

and eat and I--

anyway, I uh--

See ya, gotta go.

Bye now.

Catch ya later, Elizabeth.

Babe, look! A hunt!

This trip is finally payin' off.

Any last words before I eat you?

Oh, come on. Don't say that.

You always know exactly

what to say to get to me.

Eat him. Eat him!

- Yeah! Eat him.

- Eat him!

You wanna know

why I'm not gonna eat you?

You got a minute?

Well, maybe an hour.

It all started when I turned 13.

In health class they told us

how our growl would change,

how we'd start getting

more fur on our bodies.

But they didn't say anything

about speaking to humans.

I want one! I want one!

I want one! I want one!

Aren't they supposed to stay

50 yards away?

If this little brat takes one more step,

I'm gonna pounce.

Keep it up, kid.

The only thing you're gonna get

is a mauling.

Can't ya see we're wild animals here?

Did you just talk to me?

Wait. You can speak bear?

No, dummy,

you're speaking human.

I didn't know what to do.

No other bear seemed to be able

to speak human.

And certainly no other bear

had these weird feelings that I had.

So I went to go see

the wisest bear in the world.

The King of the Arctic,

who conveniently

was also my grandpa.

I don't know what to do.

I didn't ask for this.

What is wrong with me?

Nothing is wrong with you, Norm.

You're special.

Yeah, a real one of a kind.

Actually, more like two of a kind.

I share the same trait.

I, too, can speak to our human visitors.

You can talk to them, too?

I can.

Polar bears are icons

of the Arctic, Norm.

And an icon with a voice

can be very powerful indeed.

Our land is vulnerable

and we're responsible.

For now, just know

that what you and I have

is a great gift.

One day you'll truly understand.

But when will I understand?

But it didn't end there.

Human tendencies

had taken over my body.

That's when I started doing

the Arctic Shake.

Everybody

Let me speak free

Be who you wanna be,

stand up and shout...

I put the "soul"

in winter solstice.

Get down move your body

all around F

Let your crazy out,

let your crazy out

- Shout...

- Until the batteries ran out.

These days, I'm pretty glad

I have these feelings,

but I just don't know

what to do with them.

And that brings me

to the other day.

Why don't you take a picture?

It'll last longer.

I knew he wouldn't kill the seal.

- Pay up.

- Fine, here.

You're lucky these things

grow back.

I'm a bear who can't hunt.

I'm softer than frozen yogurt.

Who needs a bear

with too much care

and not enough scare?

Norm!

What is that, a haiku?

What did Dad tell you

about writing poetry?

I know, I know. "Leave the poetry

to the panda bears."

What's up, Stan?

I only caught the tail end of it...

but I made some money

off your failed hunt today, big bro.

I wish I'd caught the tail end
