Unfortunately, it probably will. The law doesn’t care if it’s innocent, being naked in front of cubs, even in the privacy of one’s own home and with everyone in control of themselves, is frowned upon. And with how things are going with the pedo ring? Yeah….
Possibly… maybe even probably. But not necessarily.
We’ve seen several times that Margot (nice to know her name after all this time 😉 ) is pretty much the Momma bear. Her first impulse will always be to defend her cubs (and sometimes do it by ripping heads off). But in the same strip we find that she and Flora are long-term friends.
Her first impulse isn’t necessarily what she will follow-through on. She’s also been shown to be the more reasonable one in her family.

Did anyone else notice the change in Flora’s choice of wording when addressing Margot? When she was talking to Colin she made it sound like they were still trying to decide if they wanted to go through with the idea of casual nudity as a family, and what the ground rules might be. But talking to Margot on the phone, she makes it sound like the decision is already a done deal and finalized.
It’s probably a confidence thing. She’s trying to express that it’s fine and acceptable and that there’s not a problem with it, and saying “My boyfriend might try it too” removes from the impact from that. Flora’s fibbing a bit to Margot to make her point better, not because she disregards Colin’s uncertainty and feelings.
Oh, boy, I can’t help feeling like whatever Margot said at the end wasn’t good. If I were Flora, I’d have just said that Kaleb (or maybe the kids in general) likes to get naked sometimes and left out herself and Colin; for one thing, Colin isn’t really comfortable with the nudity yet and Flora has yet to go naked herself, though she’s mentioned it. If she’d just said it’s the kids who like to get naked, Margot would have probably thought it was just childish play or something, while adding the adults probably set off red flags in her… Read more »
Remember how Benni had seen Colin undress and got the idea that Colin wanted cub sex? You cannot blame people for thinking that naked parents and naked small children would be another case of that, especially with several cubs already having had sex with adults.
… Because unlike Benni, the majority of Forest Hill residents aren’t cubs who’ve been abused and sexually exploited and conditioned into believing what they believe?
Long Tom, you said that “especially with several cubs already having had sex with adults.” But that assumes news of the pedophilia problem (I hesitate to call it a pedo “ring” with only two confirmed adults involved) is widely known. How many Forest Hill days have passed since Benni’s dad was arrested? There is no indication that the police have even made it public to the news media yet.
What I’m saying is don’t assume the other adults in town know as much as we do… yet.
I went over it once before when someone asked that, but the basics are (assuming the Beasts’ legal system is anything at all like ours) Talitha’s Dad was arrested and spent the night in jail after being questioned and convinced they had more than enough evidence to convict him. The next day (IIRC the day Tanya was attacked, but I may have to go back to the archives to check), he appears in court to be Arraigned (aka formally charged with a crime in front of a judge). At that time he pled guilty rather than going through a trial.… Read more »

Well, that went a bit sideways. Hopefully it doesn’t wind up biting them all in the hindquarters in the long run. 😧

do i see foreshadowing?
And it begins.
Something tells me the friendship between Margot and Flora just came to an end.
Possibly… maybe even probably. But not necessarily.

Yes, but Benni is a special case. He’s been conditioned to think like that, whereas Kaleb isn’t.
Benni might know the truth now, but what about any outsiders?
So always assume the worst about why someone is a nudist then?
Got it.
Benni did originally; why shouldn’t others do the same?
… Because unlike Benni, the majority of Forest Hill residents aren’t cubs who’ve been abused and sexually exploited and conditioned into believing what they believe?
Isn’t that basically what I said?

Days passed since Benni’s Dad was arrested: Two.
But didn’t Talitha’s dad already plead guilty? And to what exactly?

I was wrong about #2. It was *today* in comics time that Ray was arraigned.
