Fat Bear Week May Be Over, But There Will Always Be Bears in the Nooz!

Sometimes you read a story about bears in the NooZ, and you think, “that couldn’t be real.” And sometimes you read a story about bears in the NooZ and you think “I HOPE that story is real!” And SOMETIMES you read a story about Bears in the NooZ and you wish it was someone with the last name of Tr**p, particularly ones who sees nothing wrong with shooting innocent wildlife. (which is probably all of them)

This is one of those stories.

Frank and Mikey never disappoint! (Josie: so YOU say!!!!)

Next week we will bring you your favorite Halloween Holiday Classic Encore Presentation™️ of The Wizard of Wu, brought to you in 3 parts in PandaVision™️! Make extra poppycorn!

Be the Bear!

Rabbit Rabbit It’s October First And Fat Bear Week Is All Over But the Shouting!

It has been a marvelous Festival of Fat Bears once again! Salmon has been eaten, a few fisticuffs broke out at the falls and Some Bears Behaved Badly, but Bears Will Be Bears, you know?

While we wait for the announcement of the victorious bear of Katmai, lets enjoy some of my non-‘toon drawings I’ve done in honor of the chonky bears!

Reminder that all of these images are available to put on things you might want over at my Redbubble Page! Just the things to celebrate Fat Bear Week!

Bob T never enough bears Panda

The History of Fat Bear Week in The Panda Chronicles

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,)

Are YOU ready for Fat Bear Week?

FAT BEARS BREAK THE INTERNET!

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.

Is there anything more fun on the Internet than Fat Bear Week?

Next week in Fat Bears: Fat Bears in History! The story of Otis!

Be the (FAT) Bear

IT’S FAT BEAR WEEK!!!!!YES!!!!RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

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!!!!!

Bears For Democracy

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

Fat Bear Week is Coming

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!

In the meantime, don’t forget to check your voter’s registration no matter where you live!

Till next time…

Oh Yeah…Time To Celebrate Our Favorite Panda Icon

This has nothing to do with the fact that I didn’t get a new ‘toon done.

Yes, We are fast approaching Pinky’s Birthday weekend. Actually, it’s ALL the DC panda kids (except Tai…sorry, dude!) birthday weekend. Bikkie on Friday, Bubba on Saturday, and Pinky on Sunday!

But in other political nooz, it looks like Pinky has picked up an endorsement for 2028…

Could this be the endorsement Pinky has been waiting for? Noted political journalist David Rothkopf* seems to think that the zoo would be a better place to find a presidential candidate more qualified than the Secretary of War Crimes. And who could he have meant by “at the zoo” other than our very own American Smifsonian Icon, that perpetual candidate, Princess Pinky Panda??????

  • apologies to Mr. Rothkopf by dragging him into this debacle. No harm, no foul, right? Your sister likes me.

So let’s revisit some of Pinky’s best (?) campaign moments through the years, as we prepare to celebrate her birthday!

Pinky, please do not get your brother all wound up!
Aren’t you already in enough trouble, Pinky?
“Just run along and put these brochures where people will see them!”
You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?
Pinky did something wrong? I’m shocked!
Pinky: first you tell me I CAN’T cubpaign in da zoo, now you won’t let me LEAVE!!!
Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.

and then it was worse than we could ever imagine….

We might have some more Pinky ‘toons next week, if I can’t rouse myself to get a new ‘toon done! Stay ‘Tooned!

Be the Bear
Bob T please don’t sue me for suggesting you endorsed Pinky Panda

You Say It’s Your Birthday…

We are moving into high Birthday Season for the National Zoo-born bears and you know what THAT means!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BISCUIT!!!!

Pinky:…um…wait a minute. what do you mean BISCUIT??? isn’t my beardy first?

Well, actually it isn’t! Your birthday isn’t until the 23rd! Bubba’s is on the 22nd, and Bikkie’s is on the 21st.

Pinky: hmmmph. dis. will. not. stand.

Bikkie: yoo shut up!

You might remember Frank (aka Mister Poppee) and Mikey went on a road trip right before Bikkie’s first birthday…

Here come’s trouble!

This one just gets me right in the feels!

Yes, this was one of the early appearances of Princess Pinky Junior!

Wasn’t that heartwarming? Did it help you forget about Mittens for a few minutes? You’re welcome!

It’s the Last Thursday in May, So Here is Another Dive Into the May Archives

Cuteness abounds!

Sad how much things don’t change when it comes to Mittens. They just get worse.

I sure hope Mittens can’t read my thoughts!
Come back soon!

I think this was when they went on their first vacation to Alaska after moving in to the Panda House.

Oddly enough, even in 2026, Mittens STILL hasn’t accepted the results of the 2020 election.

The Shadow Docket, which is still being abused, still kinda scary!

Well, that’s our round up from the archives for this week. And remember, all the bad stuff that’s happening? We told you so! Sigh…maybe things will be better next week!

Bob T why can’t Mittens just go away? Panda
