Fat Bear Season is upon us, as the Katmai bears scoop up salmon to get ready for another wild Russian Alaskan winter, and more importantly, compete in the annual Fat Bear Contest! Will this be the year Frank or Mikey takes the prize? Is there a residency requirement or can any bear just barge in? I guess we’ll find out!
In the meantime, Frank and Mikey are almost ready to hit the road!
When at least a dozen people alert me to a NooZ story about bears AND all the major networks, major noozpapers and Youtube cover the story, you know that either the bears have eaten someone important (don’t get your hopes up), or some bears have done something adorable but naughty!
Young Pookies Mish and Lucy, a brother and sister pair rescued in Albania in 2021, had gone to live at an animal sanctuary in Devon, in the UK. A wild release had been attempted when they were a couple years old, but, ever the smartie bears, Mish and Lucy knew a good thing when they saw it, and refused the offer to “be free bears!”
While all the major NooZ outlets had the story, ONLY ZooNooZ got the interview!
The keepers referred to them as “naughty bears” in one story, and said if they ever see those other bears again, you know, the one with the hat and the other one with the fuzzy dice hooked over his ear, they will shoot them on sight.
“They appear to be a bad influence on our sweet, innocent bears,” said one keeper. “We can’t have them corrupting our young bears with their thieving ways.”
Frank and Mikey were unavailable for comment.
Be the Bear Bob T I thought we needed a fun story Panda
kept me from finishing today’s ‘toon…I promise it’s in progress, but a painting took my attention this morning, a long nap yesterday afternoon, and tending to my mobile tomato garden also kept me from my appointed tasks.
Enjoy today’s offerings from the archives. I will say that nothing scary is happening to Ping this week as our story contuses to develop.
Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.
It seems like Six and Sebben need to make an appearance in our current story, don’t you think? Mittens and his evil minions wouldn’t stand a chance against them.
I promise I’ll have the next installment by Thursday!
Till then, Be the Bear Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda
I don’t know that you can ever believe Frank and Mikey when they say it wasn’t them, but on the other hand, given what the DOGE bros are doing to eff up the government, could you blame them if it WAS them?
Just a thought…
Anyway, here we are again, watching the nooz in horror as the DUI hires in the NatSec segment think it’s a good idea to use an insecure app to have their little chat because it wouldn’t be subject to FOIA requests, and that would outlay national security. More on this next week.
Anyway…here be bears!
Don’t mess with bears!
BE the Bear Bob T better to eat than be eaten Panda
It really does seem like the true aim of Mittens 2.0 is the destruction of the government, the rule of law, and everything that could possibly bring joy, comfort, or sustenance to the American People.
But it is up to us to preserve what joy and purpose we have in this life and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to go down swinging.
So here’s to the JOY that pandas bring! Here’s to finding humor in a very not funny situation! Here’s to laughing at these oh so serious morons that are doing their “best” to ruin our lives!
The bears with me, of course, are Frank, Mikey, Josie, and Pookie, and of course all the pandas. I recently changed the name of my Substack to Friendly to Bears, just because. I recently wrote a new thing there, which I hope you’ll read.
There is no truth to the rumor that Frank and Mikey have taken control of the ‘toons and are compelling me to write ‘toons about them instead of pandas. We will prove this by sharing today’s ‘toon…um…what happened? Where are the pandas?
The story about Frank and Mikey’s mom came from the keeper talk about the grizzly bear brothers who live in San Diego. Their mom really did get arrested and she really did get a “job” test garbage cans. I hope she doesn’t get fired with all the firings in the park system as well as the rest of the government.
The story about Josie..well, you be the judge if this is true.
There was a story on Fezbok about a little bear that was rescued by cows, until the Appalachian Bear rescue found him. Was it really Josie? We’ll never tell!
Keep being the bear Bob T is friendly to bears Panda
We know a lot about our panda families, as they have been well documented and recorded on Panda cams, but Frank and Mikey…they have been somewhat more of a mystery.
There have been way too many revelations in the Nooz today. I think retreating to a bear filled forest is just what we need. (Well, what I need, anyway)
