Why Did The Plane Turn Around?

So many things coming at us from all angles! And what could be more fun than a bear in a candy shop?

Did you take our little quiz?

Do you want some more options than I had room for on the ‘toon?
How about:
1. Mittens got so mad that the pilot wouldn’t agree to bomb France on the way to Davos, that the pilot said, “Okay! I’m turning the plane around right now if you can’t behave!”
2. The “electrical” problem was one of those “lights on, no one’s home” kind of things
3. Stephen Miller’s coffin latch got stuck and he couldn’t get out when it was time to feed.
4. All the couches on the plane refused to have JD sit on them, and they kept ejecting him.

I could go on…but you probably are wishing I would get on with it and post today’s ‘toon!

So there ya go!

There are Food Pyramids and There are Food Pyramids

14 Replies

So apparently, Brain Worm Guy has decreed a new food pyramid, (Make Beef Great Again) ignoring decades of nutrition science (ooo! Science! bad Word) and the effects on climate of massive beef consumption. Now, I like a good hamburger as much as the next bear, but it’s more a couple times a month treat and not a daily item on the menu.

Of course, civic minded bears have their own Food Pyramid, with a mind to ridding the world of some invasive species…

Sending love, strength and light to the people of Minnesota.

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

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 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

Got your snacks?
Got your blankie?

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!

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

Sleepy Bears and Power Outages, Oh My!

8 Replies

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!

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!

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.

It’s Fat Bear Fest Week!

So, obviously I am “with” the bears” in the best sense of the words, that is, watching them chow down on donuts, ice cream and wedding cake, and looking through the archives to find some suitable Encore presentations for you while I finish ~~today’s~~ the next ‘toon.

I hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of ‘toons celebrating Fat Bear week!

Bob T we prefer to call it well insulated Panda

FAT BEAR WEEK IS COMING!!!

2 Replies

Frank and Mikey are having their moment in the spotlight…okay, well, actually, they are lost in the dark forest as they try to find their way to Fat Bear Fest, but to encourage them to finally find their way to the falls, I thought they might need some new Frank and Mikey merch!

Inspired by that “Winter is Coming” graphic from Game of Bears, I think this would add a little zing to your coffee cup, a tee shirt, or a tote bag! Stickers! Who doesn’t need stuff with bears on it? It’s on other stuff too!

Buy stuff with BEARS!

Be the BEAR!
