Final voting for the fattest fluffiest bear in Alaska’s Katmai Park takes place this week! We applaud the bears for their relentless acquisition of food as they prepare for their winter’s naps!
I thought it would be fun to revisit some past ‘toons and images of Fat Bear Festival’s past this week (also I am very busy this week so there is that too,)
Be the Bear!
Bob T Fluffy not Fat Panda
Frank and Mikey would like everyone to know that it wasn’t them that broke the internet. They weren’t any where near them, and besides, they don’t know what the internet looks like, or where they could find it.
Next week in Fat Bears: Fat Bears in History! The story of Otis!
Be the (FAT) Bear
Bob T pass the donuts Panda
I’ve been busy trying to keep up with the bears at Brooks falls, so we sent Frank and Mikey up to Alaska to get the low down on the latest NooZ from the Falls!
I would go on and on about the latest Crimes of Mittens™️, but I bet you’d rather see todays >NEW< ‘toon!!!!!
Be the Bear!
Bob T running behind as usual Panda
Since I seem to be be on strike or something like that…unmotivated? tired? uninspired? I thought I’d take this opportunity to have a Delightful Encore Presentation™️ of everyone’s favorite bear (WU BEAR!!!) and his ode to Pirates, just in time for International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of Mr Wu’s Pirate Adventure. I’m sure I’ll do some new ‘toons…eventually.
Be the bear!
Bob T Ahoy Matey! Panda
I don’t know what’s with me these days. I haven’t been able to get much done in the way of new ‘toons. I’ll try to do better, but in the meantime, there is a LOT of stuff in the archives, and it’s almost time for Holiday Encore Presentations with some of my your favorite stories!
Oh my…turns out we had more than we ever thought to lose.
Hang in there
Be the Bear
Bob T CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION Panda
This week’s special Encore Presentation is one of my earliest stories, and still one of my favorites!
Get your popcorn and hot cocoa and get ready to enjoy Boopie and the Pandas. (And yes, I had one of the original Barbie dolls dressed in the black and white striped swimsuits, with a blonde pony tail!)
Not unlike the current state of events, this is so disturbing on so many levels. Can I just go live in Boopieland with Boopie and the pandas until it’s all over?
Be the Bear
Bob T I hope you are coping with all the crazy Panda
All bears, Fat or otherwise, are on the move! Pinky is almost at the zoo, if she can just lose her police escort…Wasn’t it nice of Mittens to leave a bunch of really fast cars just idling by the train station so that Pinky didn’t need to hail a cab to get to the zoo to visit Binky Li!
Frank and Mikey have found an RV and are making tracks up to the annual Festival of Fat Bears up in Katmai National Park in Alaska. I sure hope it goes better than last year!
And Binky Li, QB, and Ping are waiting in the kitchen of the Panda House for Pinky to arrive….
I feel like breaking into a chorus of “Bears on the Run!“
Things are getting worse and worse in our Nation’s capitol, but as long as we have bears, we might make it through!
Be the Bear
Bob T I’m trying not to think too much about it Panda
Oh dear, the week got away from me again. Here are a couple of Protest Bears which coincidentally are available as Tee-shirts, posters, and coffee cups over on Redbubble!
I will try very hard to get a new ‘toon done this week, after all, Fat Bear Week is Coming!
Be the Bear!
Bob T what? I was busy making art Panda
I do love the whole air of festiveness as we head towards the elimination finals in about a month for Fat Bear Week 2026! Will Frank and Mikey make an appearance?
I’m working on some designs for t-shirts and stuff with Frank and Mikey
In keeping with the Fat Bear Week theme, let’s look back through the archives on Frank and Mikey’s last trip to Brooks Falls to visit their old friends…
Uh oh…how much trouble are Frank and Mikey in? Will they be welcome at the Falls this year? I guess we’ll find out!
Till next time…
Be the Bear!
Bob T pass the cuppycakes Panda
Yes, Pinky’s Birthday is officially over (say it isn’t so!!!!) but there are So! Many! ‘toons about PINKY!
It is sad, isn’t it, that the current WH resident has taken his legal philosophy from a cartoon panda.
I guess that’s enough of Pinky…at least for now!
Be the Bear
Bob T you can’t ignore Pinky Panda!
