   I don’t think so – the emphasis on “their” looks like a scanno rather than intended – Wait, saw and there are evenly thick, their isn’t. Not quite sure what the joke is – something along the lines of Bigfoot always ducks cameras, but when he’s ignored he gets mad (like some of the most obnoxious celebrities – “oh, I hate the paparazzi wait a minute they’re _ignoring_ me!…”), so the next (nonexistent) panel has him attacking them (which is why there aren’t any closeup pics of Bigfoot attacks?)?

   Bigfoot is a diva, and hates not being the center of attention. So when the nature photographers are more interested in something else, that’s “When Bigfoot Attacks!”

   He looks like Richard Nixon. Though I doubt that is part of the joke.

   Oscar: There is only one thing worse than playing squash together, and that is playing it by yourself. (silence) I wish I hadn’t said that.

   Whistler: But you did, Oscar, you did. (a little laughter)

   Prince: Well, you must forgive me Wilde, but I must get back up the Palace.

   Oscar: Your Majesty, you’re like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top.

   @narmitaj: that skit is of course my source for the quote :-)

   Maybe…the character we see is not the real bigfoot, and the real bigfoot is attacking from stage right?

   I honestly have no idea what the idea is here, and why it’s supposed to be funny. I enjoy working through puzzles but in this case there needs to be a worthwhile joke at the conclusion.

    “I honestly have no idea what the idea is here, and why it’s supposed to be funny.”

    Why it’s supposed to be funny: YOU imagine that Bigfoot is shy, and doesn’t like to be photographed. But we have a reversal of expectations! Bigfoot actually likes to be photographed, he wants to be photographed, and he gets angry when people pass up an opportunity to photograph him. Contravention of expectation is a major category of humor. Such as when you learn that NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition, because they’re primary weapon is fear. Fear and surprise. Fear, surprise, and ruthlessness. Fear, surprise, ruthlessness, and… bring out the comfy chair!

    I think its supposed to be a joke on how badly botched bigfoot photos always are; even you have a clear shot. Just exactly *how* this is supposed to be a joke is beyond me but bear in mind this is a strip that thought bob ross being an alien to explain his idiosyncrasies and a giant step leading to the air on a hiking trail was somehow sensible.

    I think the sign should say “Finding Bigfoot.” That is a real show on the Animal Planet channel.
