It’s a heck of a day in the nooz, so I’m going to dig into the archives to give us all a little psychic relief so we can BEAR what is happening in our country.
There are a lot of bad people to eat.
Be the Bear Bob T you can’t say we didn’t warn you Panda
While we should not forget the violence and criminal behavior on the part of Mittens supporters of January 6th 5 years ago, we do need to reward ourselves for surviving through it with the ongoing antics of Frank and Mikey, our favorite bears!
Of course, there is always the possibility that we won’t survive the present clusterfuck, but at least we’ll go down laughing and thinking of Stephen Miller being chased by bears! Wouldn’t that be special?
and because it is the 5th anniversary of January 6th…
If we don’t stand for justice, we stand for nothing.
Thank you for bearing with me (get it? bearing?hee hee)
The first day of the New Year dawned gray and foggy and if that’s not some kind of metaphor, I don’t know what is! NYC has a young, progressive mayor. The pandas formerly known as the DC Pandas are living in China, but one thing Pandyland has, is suspension of reality and really high speed public intercontinental transportation! So you just never know where any one of the pandas will pop up. Even pandas (and cats) who have allegedly departed the temporal plane!
The younger generation of pandas now living in DC and Pandiego are getting ready to make their mark on Panda Satire. Will they get help from good pandas or will they take the council of…um…Six and Sebben.
Ya pays yer cuppycakes, you take yer chances!!!
Yes, yes, Crispmoss is over, but time has no meaning here in Pandyland. Before you know it, the Lunar New year will roll around and then there will be the Winter Panda Olympics, and there have been quite a number of bears in the NooZ, on which Frank and Mikey may have a lot to say!
As always, I’m so glad you all are here! I think it’s going to be a crazy year, here in the US and we are going to need to support each other through this. I’ll bring the Panda Satire. You bring the cuppycakes and whippy cream, and somehow, we might just get through this.
Between power outages last week, an overwhelming urge to get some deep cleaning and weeding out of stuff done, I have not made any new ‘toons these last two weeks. But the archives are full of holiday favorites, so I am going to share them with you this week and maybe next week, well, we’ll see about next week.
Who can forget the first time Pinky got to play in the snow?
And it was ever thus….
And when the Meihems came to visit…
Meihem, not Mayhem.
Or Pinky’s first appearance in the Panda-lympics games?
I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!
Well, this next one isn’t particularly winter themed, but it is one of my all time favorites, and Bob IS wearing his winter scarf!
See? I told you it was broken!
I hope your holiday celebrations are everything you wish them to be. Me? I’ll be home tending to this, that, and the others, and singing along to your favorite holiday song!
‘Toon in Thursday for our annual replay of the 12 days of Crispmoss! I hope everyone is ready to sing along with Pinky!
Bikkie has his Bikkiesaurus outfit, Beary Poppins has “escaped” (with mommee Mei’s help) from the clutches of Six and Sebben…what else could possibly go wrong????
Let’s find out, shall we?
Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz ClimoI 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…
Let’s go fly a kite… Nope, nothing to see here!
uh oh.I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!Silly old bears!
I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins. It was so much fun for me to remember what a Little Miracle our Bikkie was in that year when we needed him so much.
There is a lot of terrible things happening right now and I know it is hard to be brave. But the only way out of this is through it and we have to be brave a while longer.
Making art and panda ‘toons is what allows me to be brave and keep going. Right now, the wind is howling, literally as well as metaphorically. I will keep keeping on as long as I can, and I hope you’ll be here with me. Let’s keep the magic of this season alive.
Be the Bear Bob T I believe in little miracles Panda
Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?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…
I’d forgotten that it was during Beary Poppins that Bikkie got his dinosaur outfit! Beary Poppins is the gift that keeps on giving!
Cuppycakes? Check! Poppycorn? Check! Hot cocoa with whippy cream and liddle marshymallows? Check!
Let’s get this show on the road!
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.
Uh oh…The Mayhems and Six and Sebben are about to enter the chat. What could possibly go wrong? I guess we’ll fine out tomorrow!
Be the Bear! Bob T I wonder what happens next Panda
As a special treat, for the next 5 days, we’ll be sharing the Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins! Yes! That’s right! EVERY DAY we’ll share 4-5 episodes of this beloved Holiday Classic starring Frank in the title role, and the pandas of the DC Panda House (Pinky: I thought I was da star!!!)
So here we go!!!
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!
Oh my! What do you think is going to happen??? See you TOMORROW!
Be the Bear! Bob T is making it up as we go along! Panda
Don’t forget to check out the Panda Chronicles books and stuff on Redbubble for your holiday shopping!
How was that for weaseling out of finishing this ‘toon by last Thursday, the National Day for Americans to eat enough calories to feed a small nation? (Each of us) I managed not to explode (or finish this ‘toon till yesterday!)
Anyway, the pandas and brown bears wanted to wish you all a happy season of thankfulness, despite the continuing cluster**ck that is happening in the Capitol and various points around the globe. It’s clear (to anyone who isn’t hiding their head in the sand) that F45 is on the brink of total dissolution, despite the evil Nosferatu Miller and assorted slimy oligarchs slavering around the treasury.
I mean…I really hope there is something left when we get around to picking up the pieces.
Anyway…
I am immensely thankful to all of you who come around to read what I write and draw here. We need to have a little fun during this re-creation of The Hunger Games and The Handmaids Tale, right? How many times can we say THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FICTION?!?!?!?!?!
Meanwhile…
I suspect we are going to hear from the younger pandas who didn’t make it into this ‘toon. Sheesh. This job is hard enough without pandas yelling at me!
And if you are looking for gifts for your friends and family (or yourself…just saying) Redbubble is having lots of sales over the next couple weeks, so maybe something with pandas on it? Check out my Panda Chronicle shop over there!
Stay strong Call or email your Congress People and tell them what you think about all this stuff Mittens is doing,
And always always always Be the Bear! Bob T is trying to not panic Panda
