Several months touring regressive, almost racist, comic character (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
yogi bear
'comic character' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yogi bear that I've seen before include "comic character" , "animated character" , "Jellystone resident" , "Cartoon character" .)
