Part 2 of our Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins!

Here we are! Hi Hi Hi Hi!

Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!

Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…
Bikkie has a name!!!!
Once upon a time…
Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz Climo
I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!
It wasn’t me!
A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!
Let’s go fly a kite…
uh oh.
I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!
Silly old bears!

Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!

Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.

Another Holiday Classic! Beary Poppins!

I’m trying to ease back a bit and enjoy the quiet of the season and get ready to welcome back some light into our lives.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Like THAT’S gonna happen.

Anyway, I’m gonna do this Encore Presentation in two chunks, for Thursday and Friday this week, then next week (hopefully, ha ha!) back to my regular schedule. Or as regular as things can be, all things considered. anyway, if you want to revisit one of my other holiday classics, (Pinky: starring ME! da only icon you will ebber need!) I did an Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol over on the Substck thingie.

So here we go! Sit back and enjoy Beary Poppins, part one!

Oh boy! Oh boy! A NEW story!!!!
I can hardly stand the suspense! Who will play Beary Poppins???
A spoonful of frosting makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down!
The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!
Bears are VERY curious!
This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?
Frank is off on a new adventure!
Beary Poppins has arrived! Is there any cake? It’s been a long flight!
I wonder why no one else applied for the job!
I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.
Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?

Well that’s it for today! I’m so glad you’re here with me! ‘Toon in TOMORROW for the final installment of Beary Poppins!

It’s Time for a Holiday Classic!

I’m afraid once again, I have failed to finish the ‘toon planned for today on time (where DOES the time go?) so instead, we will have a re-broadcast, an Encore Presentation, if you will, of one of my favorite Holiday Classics!

It’s a WUnderful Life!

Starring the one, the only, the magnificent, Mr. Wu!

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.
Wu is a good bear at heart….
Bee the bear tells it like it is
What part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!
You won’t like this, Mr Wu!
Those darn cats!
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!
A bear and his mom…together forever?

I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of It’s a WUnderful Life as much as I did! Stay ‘tooned next week for our regularly scheduled ‘toon plus more holiday classics!

There’s no Fool Like an April Fool

Alas! My regular posting day did not fall on April 1st (aka a typical news day in our post apocalyptic times) but as I like a good joke as much as the next bear, please accept our one day late tribute to April Fool’s Day, and to Bob’s capacity for belief in these troubled times.

Pinky sez: “put mittens in the big house, not the White House!”

Be the Bear!
Bob T well it might have happened Panda

Some Holiday Encore Presentations!

The weekend got away from me, and I have a full plate this week, but even though I don’t have a new addition to our story in progress, I didn’t want to leave you panda-less!

Enjoy these holiday classics!

Somehow, even with the extra time I gave myself, I just finished this this morning. Oh well.

And away we go!

If you missed our recap of the first 5 episodes, they were last week on Tuesday and Thursday! Go read them, quick like a bunny!

See ya soon!

It’s Actual Halloween Today!

I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Halloween ‘toons from over the years, as today’s post coincides with Halloween!

Panda Kindergarten halloween party
Trick or Trick!!!!!!!
comics history
Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?
Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!
This is from 2019 and unfortunately still somewhat relevant

Be the Bear!
Bob T trick or treat Panda!

And Now, for Part 2 of A Halloween Carol!

Starring Pinky!

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.
Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…
Was that list in small type, single spaced?
The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?
Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

I hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of A Halloween Carol. It is still one of my favorites, with Pinky at her Pinky-est! You can still catch up with The Wizard of Wu over at Substack. You know you want to!

Bob T not a pouty panda Panda

And Now for Another Holiday Classic!

A Halloween Carol!

I hope you are enjoying the October Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu over on Substack! I thought that, for the sake of being less confusing, I would have our annual re-broadcast of A Halloween Carol right here!

Get out your poppy-corn, put your feetsies up and enjoy the show!

Bubba’s first feature role!
you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…
Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?
Hey! who said Wu could poof things?

One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?

Uh oh! Has Pinky’s crimes of the past come back to haunt her? ‘Toon in next time for the exciting conclusion of A Halloween Carol! And don’t forget to check out The Wizard of Wu over on Substack!

Be the Bear!
Bob T super spooky Panda

Happy Holidays from The Panda Chronicles!

Whatever and however you celebrate, remember, it is always better to celebrate with pandas! Yes, even with Pinky.

I’m sure absolutely no one will be offended by today’s ‘toon. ( I ran it past my spiritual advisor and she said it…um…now what was it she said? Oh well. Here it is anyway!)

Remember! Every time a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake! I’m doing a three part Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins over at my Finding Your Inner Panda Noozletter on Substack. Check out the first installment here!

And do check in on Crispmoss Morning here, for an Encore Presentation of The Twelve Days of Crispmoss, starring you know who!

Till then,
Be the Bear!
Bob T I’ve been very good Panda
