What? A New Character?

Our new character probably needs a little introduction. Last year I was messing around making felty pandas, and I made one that kind of looked like a nun (wearing pink!) I knew it couldn’t be Pinky, so I decided her name was Sister Mary Fluffy (calling her by her initials may get your mouth washed out with soap!) I also decided that she needed to go to a home that was more…um…fitting of her status than my home, so I sent her off to live in Virginia with the spiritual advisor to the Panda Chronicles.

I had hoped that she would lead a quiet contemplative life, but if you are a follower of either #TheBearchelorette or #BearchelorInParadise on the Twidders, you might have bumped into Sister M.F. (see? what did I tell you?) mixing drinks down at the bar. She has also been a regular player in a little behind the scenes Panda Improv!

But let’s introduce her, and find out more about the good Sister…

“Can I put a little something in my cocoa?”

Stay ‘tooned! More to come next week!

Don’t forget to ‘toon in on Sunday, when we have the concluding installment of A Halloween Carol, as well as some of our favorite Halloween ‘toons!

More Panda House Fun!

My new book, The Panda Chronicles Book 9: What Could Possibly Go WRONG! is now under review, and I hope that it will be available later this week! This is exciting news, indeed!

But now, let’s stop in to the Panda House and see what’s happening…

Making Fat Bear Week Even Fatter!

It’s Fat Bear Week up in Alaska! Grizzlies gather to galumph through streams, as salmon jump directly into their mouths. Just like in college basketball, there are charts showing which bears are in the running (I’m not sure how the competing teams are decided…different stream? I’ll have to do more research.)

There are rumors that even though they are not on the official match ups, Frank and Mikey are planning on a surprise late entry! Other rumors of banned performance enhancing substances to promote unfair advantages, have been leveled against Frank and Mikey, which could explain why they are not in the official line up.

Also, Mikey has let it be known that he doesn’t like fish.

Mikey: Bears like donuts, okay? I like donuts. Bears like donuts. Did I have too many donuts sometimes? You mean, was I cool? Heck yes I was cool. So MAYBE I had too many donuts once in a while.

Mei Xiang tries to change the subject

This would be a good time to order your own Frank and Mikey!

Is that a donut I see before me?

Order in the usual fashion:

I Think They Need a Bigger Kitchen Table in the Panda House

There is a lot of evade the question going on here.

There is still time to order Halloween Pandas!

Pretty scary, huh?

Be the Bear!

There is definitely something odd going on here

Is anyone going to believe what Frank and Mikey saw?

Move along please, nothing to see here!

Did I mention this Sunday (September 19th) is Talk Like a Pirate Day? What a fun reason to re-run Mr. Wu’s Pirate adventure.

As a special HUZZAH for Talk Like a Pirate Day, any felty orders between now and Saturday September 25 will get a bonus Mr. Wu the Pirate iron on patch! ARRRR!

Frank and Mikey want you to have it!

$58 each or both for $112 + shipping!

Frank and Mikey are IN DA HOUSE!!!

(The Panda House, that is!)

Yes, Frank and Mikey are home from their Alaskan adventure, (Mei Xiang: wait a minute…what do you mean by HOME????) Six and Sebben are back in PandaLanta, and Bebe Maurice has returned to France to meet his petite zizzies and turn them into internationally renowned painting models!

Never a dull moment!

You might be thinking: What could they possibly be unpacking?

Silly you! Their pajamas, of course! What! Do you think they sleep au natural???? We may be animals but we’re not SAVAGES!!!!

I just realized that next Sunday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! So, of course I will be re-running the Mr. Wu the Pirate ‘toons! Prepare to talk like a Pirate!

Till Thursday,
Be the Bear!

And Now, The Moment You All Have Been Waiting For….

Drum roll please….

The Unveiling of Bebe Maurice’s masterpiece….

How did she get into the picture? Artists can see things other people can’t?

Be the Bear!
Bob T Panda

Who’s that knocking at my door….

Just a reminder, that in Pandyland, this is all taking place on the same day.

Were you waiting for something?

Knock knock…Who’s there?

How about that! Bikkie got his wish!

Did everyone remember to celebrate Pinky’s Birthday on Monday? Did you have cake? Get her presents?

And there is yet more excitement yet to come on Thursday, when Bebe Maurice unveils his masterpiece!

Frank and Mikey’s Excellent Adventure: The Epilogue

I will not confirm or deny whether any of the dialog is inspired by actual family interactions or conversations.

Frank and Mikey bid a fond farewell to their Mom and siblings Scooter and Josie. I’m sure they had a wonderful time!

Back to civilization!

On this date in July of 1969, I was at music camp in Morgantown West Virginia. Over 100 campers gathered around the television in the lobby to watch this momentous event:

One step for a small bear….

Or maybe something sort of like it.

Enjoy your day; get vaccinated, wear a mask, and stay safe! I can’t afford to lose any more fans of panda satire!
