It’s Day 4 of our Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins, and the Grand Finale!

Let’s find out, shall we?

Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz Climo

I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!

A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!

Let’s go fly a kite…
Nope, nothing to see here!

I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!

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.

Bob T I believe in little miracles Panda

Beary Poppins! Our story continues on Day 3!

Let’s GOOOOOOO

Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…

I’d forgotten that it was during Beary Poppins that Bikkie got his dinosaur outfit! Beary Poppins is the gift that keeps on giving!

Bob T will ‘toon in tomorrow Panda

Day 2 of our Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins!

Let’s get this show on the road!

This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?

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

It’s time for …

Beary Poppins!!!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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

Can We Really Put a Date on Being Thankful?

4 Replies

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!

Sleepy Bears and Power Outages, Oh My!

The best laid plans and all that. For a change I had today’s ‘toon done in plenty of time, but we had a surprise power outage. (a likely story!) At first they estimated it would be back on by 4 PM, which turned to 8PM which turned to 10PM, which ultimately came on at 9:33PM.

Whew!

There was not heavy wind, but something fell somewhere on the lines which took out about 400+ houses in my area.

Well, as Pinky would say, “enough about YOU! Let’s get these pandas rolling!“

I’m sure there will be no trouble in Trenton! Frank, Mikey, and Ping need to get home in time for dinner on Thursday!

It’s Always Hard to go Back to Work After a Shutdown

8 Replies

The PandAir Traffic Controllers are getting back to work, and as usual, there is the possibility that things will not go as previously scheduled! But here we are, with a backstage behind the scenes look into The Panda House, as only The Panda Chronicles can show you!

I’m sure Binky Li is just as excited to get back to work as we are to see him! And I haven’t forgotten that Mikey went off to New Jersey to assume his duties as governor…he WAS elected, wasn’t he? Stay ‘tooned!

Anyone Could Make This Mistake

A bear by any other name would smell as…okay…maybe that wasn’t the best quote when it comes to bears…

Did Mikey (finally) get a job?

I just love Frank and Mikey! Maybe they are coming to a state near you sometime soon!

Bob T there’s a new boss in town Panda

The Return Of Frank and Mikey

4 Replies

The bears return to the Panda House, I have returned to my cottage in the 100 acre wood, and returned to the drawing table with a new ‘toon for your enjoyment and a little escapism from reality, which really, really stinks right now.

Yes, Mittens has decided making millions of people suffer and starve is a worthwhile trade off for …what? not having the Epstein files released? Not getting his own way in Congress? Being shown to be a big whiney law breaking baby?

But we are here to bring you all the bears you need to get through the day. By the way, Frank and Mikey are pretty sure that this video is AI and it totally was not one of them.

An interesting thing happened while I was gone (okay, you might not think it was interesting, but I do). Readership appeared to be up while I was gone and not reposting ‘toons, since I always take something of a social media break when I go on the road. A fluke, perhaps? A bunch of Russian bots trying to take over panda satire? Some influential social media personage boosting this website? A couple of bears who think Frank and Mikey are hilarious? Who knows! If you are one of the above and are new to The Panda Chronicles, hop on into the comments and introduce yourself.

And if you haven’t already voted, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE BEFORE YOUR POLLS CLOSE!

BE the Bear,
Bob T home from my travels Panda

Fall Forward; Spring Back!

I am back from my travels and getting back to work, but didn’t quite get a new ‘toon for today, but I have several in the works! I’m hoping to get them done by the end of the week and then be a bit ahead of things. Hahahahahahhaa! We’ll see!

But…wait…what…travels you say? YOU didn’t tell us you were traveling. Well, I tend not to, ya know, announce my house will be empty and all, but I did and I’m back. Also, the feckless cowards that currently run the goobermint did not have the fortitude or spines to stand up to F45 and re-open the goobermint, so we were deprived of our visit to Binky Li and his beloved QB.

Fortunately for my ‘tooning/painting schedule, this weekend is the semi-annual changing of the clocks so it’s a great opportunity to re-run one of everyone’s favorite ‘toons! Also, the original Halloween ‘toon is a perennial favorite!

BTW, this ‘toon is pre-Pinky, but maybe a foreshadowing of Pinky’s outfit and attitude!

I hope you enjoyed the recent Encore Presentations of A Halloween Carol and the Wizard of Wu! If you missed them, you could go back a couple weeks and see them.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! Important elections are happening next week, especially in Virginia and New Jersey! Even less important seeming elections are happening everywhere. We have an important school board election here, and you might too.

Voting is our right and our responsibility! Use it or lose it!

Be the Bear!
Bob T is going to fill out his ballot and turn it in on time Panda

Let’s find out, shall we?

Let’s go fly a kite…Nope, nothing to see here!

Let’s GOOOOOOO
