A Very Sunny Thursday

It was too sunny to finish today’s ‘toon, but at least we already know that PPJ has vanquished the evil Ice Maiden and that Ping is safe. We’ll have a little epilogue next week, but for now enjoy these ‘toons from the archive, and rest easy in the knowledge that I decided not to stress myself out today.

Should Pandas pay their own way?
Our corporate organizational flow chart…
What cats are reading at the beach this summer!
There must be cake!
It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!
This number is unlisted….
The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?

Sigh…happier times, which we really need to remember, right? Keep resisting, keep fighting for truth, justice, and The Way of the Panda.

Be the Bear
Bob T remember the good times Panda

Iced 11: Ding Dong, If Only the Witch Was Dead

One of the best things about writing fiction is that you can make things come out how you would like. Alas…not so true in real life, but we can think about this better story and pretend, right?

PPJ for the win!

Be the Bear!
Bob T is not a fan of reality Panda

Iced Episode 10: Bring on Da Sekret Weapon!

Did we promise PPJ would swoop in and fix things?

Yes we did

Did we promise there would be a sekret weapon?

Yes, we did

Did we promise the ICE Maiden would be vanquished?

Yes, we did, indeed.

PPJ: I told yoo my hello kitty flamethrower would come in handy!
Pinky: sigh….
PPJ: but I was right, right?

Be the Bear
Bob T I told you it would be okay Panda

Come back for the exciting denouement of our story next week!

Never Underestimate Panda Power

PPJ is on the scene, drinking cocoa and explaining her clever plan!

Yeah….WHAT secret weapon???? Enquiring minds want to know!

Be the Bear
Bob T secret weapon Panda

No, Unka Bob is NOT the secret weapon.

Iced!: Episode 7…Our story continues

PPJ has entered the story…what could possibly go wrong?

We can be sure that PPJ has some clever ideas on combatting the forces of evil, and the ICE Maiden. At least, I think we can be sure. The next episode is still revealing itself to me.

Till next time…
Be the Bear
Bob T is that a chill in the air? a disturbance in the Force? Panda

Iced: Episode 6; Our Story Continues…

…and a petite panda princess enters the chat. (you knew she had to be coming, right?)

I mean…who wouldn’t get distracted by whippy cream, right?

It gets crazier and meaner by the day in the real world. I hope you are all doing okay.

Be the Bear
Bob T not sure how much of this I can take Panda

ICED: Calling Out The Big Guns

That’s right! Pinky has entered the chat! If Pinky can’t fix this, nobeary can. After all, Pinky has a secret weapon: Princess Pinky Junior.

Sending out a big thanks to all who came out on Saturday to say: NOPE! NO KINGS! Unofficial estimates are 12.1 MILLION people came out across the country and not only in typical Democratic strongholds. Keep the pressure up!

Be the Bear!
Bob T nope nope nope nope Panda

Our Story Continues: Iced! A Story No One Should Have to Experience

You know I don’t mean to cause trauma to the pandas, but we are living this in real time in the real world. I don’t know where this ends, either in our story here, or in the real world. We are all immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants.

Today, The Ice Maiden had a sitting US Senator ARRESTED for asking a question at a press conference. Where does this end?

Stay ‘tooned!

Be the Bear
Bob T this will not stand Panda

A busy Weekend…

kept me from finishing today’s ‘toon…I promise it’s in progress, but a painting took my attention this morning, a long nap yesterday afternoon, and tending to my mobile tomato garden also kept me from my appointed tasks.

Enjoy today’s offerings from the archives. I will say that nothing scary is happening to Ping this week as our story contuses to develop.

Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!
This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!
I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.

It seems like Six and Sebben need to make an appearance in our current story, don’t you think? Mittens and his evil minions wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

I promise I’ll have the next installment by Thursday!

Till then,
Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda

Oh my! The Egos are Fighting!

Do you think it will distract them for trying to hunt down Ping to deport him? Hmmmm…probably not.

I’m sure in the long run, nothing good will come of this rift between Mittens and E-Loon, but it has provided some entertainment value, am I right?

Meanwhile, our story continues!

For those who have joined us since my trip to China in 2017 (was it REALLY that long ago???) Ping Ping was a real panda that I met in china. Such a sweet bear! I decided that Bob T would bring him home, and he joined the pandas in The Panda House and became a beloved member of the panda family.

Who knew that you had to get permission to take a panda out of China?

KEEP PANDA-ING ON
Bob T I’m not sure how much more I can take Panda
