The Return Of Frank and Mikey

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!

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!!!

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!

Bears of the Traveling Kind

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!

Uh oh, indeed!

Be the Bear!

It’s Time For a Road Trip!

Where to?
Brooks Falls, of course!
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the wrath of Josie because of Frank and Mikey eating the entire linzertorte!

I wonder if Otis will make an appearance.

Be the Bear!
Bob T I prefer pizza Panda

Bears Will Be Bears: an epilogue of sorts

It has been suggested that Frank and Mikey *might* have done more to fend off the ICE Maiden.

Fortunately, They are picking up the slack on the back end, as it were!

I really haven’t looked at the NooZ today. Has anything happened out in the world?

We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Story for Yet Another Instance of Bears Behaving Badly (UK Edition)

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.

Bob T I thought we needed a fun story Panda

A busy Weekend…

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

Frank and Mikey Swear That it Wasn’t Them

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!
