Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!
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…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…uh oh.I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!Silly old bears!
Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!
Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.
Be the Beary Brave Bears Bob T I am a Swifty Panda
I’m trying to ease back a bit and enjoy the quiet of the season and get ready to welcome back some light into our lives.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Like THAT’S gonna happen.
Anyway, I’m gonna do this Encore Presentation in two chunks, for Thursday and Friday this week, then next week (hopefully, ha ha!) back to my regular schedule. Or as regular as things can be, all things considered. anyway, if you want to revisit one of my other holiday classics, (Pinky: starring ME! da only icon you will ebber need!) I did an Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol over on the Substck thingie.
So here we go! Sit back and enjoy Beary Poppins, part one!
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!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.Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?
Well that’s it for today! I’m so glad you’re here with me! ‘Toon in TOMORROW for the final installment of Beary Poppins!
I was inspired by one of my favorite ‘toonists on the inter webs, John Atkinson of Wrong Hands comics. His recent ‘toon on a Christmas movie generator made me think, “I bet I can do this for Panda Satire.”
Have fun with making your own ‘toon plots. Feel free to share in the comments and on the socials!
Be sure to share your ‘toon plots!
Be the Bear Bob T who knew it was this easy? Panda
I bet you thought I would never get around to finishing this Panda-Extravaganza of PandaPaloozahood. Well, to be honest, neither did I! But here we are in the final and-they-lived-happily-ever-after chapter!
Huzzah!
And so, we end, like all fairy tales end, (at least the sanitized happily ever after ones…the original Grimm’s tales are often quite a bit darker!) with the evil step sisters getting just what they deserve, and Bikkie going off to the palace with a rather familiar looking King and Queen to live a life of fun and luxury!
Now, if we could just banish Mittens to a dark dungeon somewheres. Remember to vote y’all!
To Friends of Bob in the Hurricane Helene ravaged country side, I think of you and hope you are safe and well. Climate change is kicking our butts.
Be the Bear! Bob T wants to live happily ever after Panda
We are definitely winding this fractured fairy tale down! And if you notice a resemblance in some of our players to characters that exited the story earlier, let’s just say that we have a limited number of pandas to play all the parts, so we make due where we can!
Now…On with our story!
Methinks mebbee the Queen knows something, perhaps…
Meanwhile out in the real world, shit is getting cray cray! Will there be consequences for Mittens and VD Vandal (soon to be played here by a weasel!) for the bad things that they are getting up to in Ohio? Sounds like some of the citizens of Springfield have filed a criminal complaint against them for telling lies to incite violence.
ZooNooZ may have an exclusive interview with a central character in the drama, coming on Thursday. Mum’s the word!
Till then… Be the Bear Bob T there will be consequences Panda
This has been a really hard week to wrap my head around. First the disastrous commentary on Biden’s debate performance. Granted, the debate was pretty terrible. Biden’s low energy and general demeanor was not ideal. But neither was TFG’s non- stop firehose of lies.
It’s disgusting that the media, particularly the NYT and the pundit class were all baying for Biden’s blood, and at the same time ignoring and minimizing his busy schedule and strong, stirring speeches at these events (G-7! D-Day! Major fundraisers in NY and CA! President stuff!) and completely ignoring the lies of a 34 times convicted felon who lies more than he breathes.
The only newspaper that had the guts to say, “Hey, maybe the guy who has been convicted of 34 felonies, stole national nuclear secrets and tried to over throw an election…maybe HE should step down,” was the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Honestly, I don’t know if he should step down or not. Only Joe Biden knows, and an overwhelming number of primary contest voters voted for him. I can’t imagine the chaos it would cause if he did. I’m against anything that hands the election to You Know Who. If you haven’t read about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, you should at least read some summaries. For starters, they want to replace career civil servants with TFG loyalists. They want a national abortion ban, gutting of all regulations and the agencies that regulate them. You like clean air? too bad. We can’t tell polluting corporations what to do. You think there should be public education? Nope. That’s out. Medicare, medicaid, Social Security: they’re all on the chopping block. But don’t worry. You won’t live long enough to need elder care.
And then there is the “Supreme” Court…
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
On this, the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed, the document that said all men (well, white men, no women or POC need apply) are created equal and no one is above the fucking law, well…the Heritage Foundation Federalist Society Justices, just said, “New phone, who dis?”
In essence they put themselves above the law, as what they laid out seems to have been, “well, we’ll tell you if we think the president has immunity for this or that act, or not.” They opened the door to lawless corruption from the White House, and no way to rein it in. I’m not a historian, but I’ve listened to enough historians in the last several days to know that wasn’t what the authors of the Constitution intended.
I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade or picnic (pass the marshymallows!) I just had to get this out of my head. In the meantime…
Here are some pandas!
The only way out is through, and the only way through is to vote like everyone’s life depends on it. They want us to be demoralized and stay home. Don’t fall for it.
Be the BEAR! Bob T Vote Blue all the way up and down the ballot Panda
