31 Days Of Pandas: Day 10
I’m afraid I have failed you. I do not have the next installment of Beary Poppins ready for you. They are in progress, but well…I just didn’t get it done. Sorry sorry sorry.
But I will have them done next week, and will try very hard to get a little ahead again…It’s just I have needed so many naps! And…I did do this:
The Frank and Mikey burning 2020 dumpster Diorama! Complete with artfully hand stenciled habitat and burning marshmallows!
But now, let’s just have the next several episodes of 101 Bebe Panda-Nation!
Inspector Panda has arrived! He’ll…um…solve everything!
Where is Babette taking them?
Cue the scary music!!!!
Oh no! What will happen next???? Toon in tomorrow!!!
Be the Bear!

Don’t Forget to Write!
Frank is off on his new adventure, to be the Practically Perfect in Every Way nanny, Beary Poppins, to the Xiang-Tian children! Will Frank be a match for those lovable scamps?
I guess we’ll see!
Don’t forget to write, and send food!
Frank is off on a new adventure!
Hey, did you vote yet? If you voted by mail and did NOT get a sticker, you could print this one:
Print your own “I Voted” sticker!
Meanwhile, Minch McTurtle and the complicit GOP Senate rushed to a vote to confirm a new, young, extremely conservative SCOTUS Justice, and then went on vacation till after the election, with nary a thought to and more COVID 19 relief packages. Vote them all out! They know they are losing so they took a big 💩on the carpet, on their way out the door.

The Panda Abides
Here we are: two weeks to the final day of voting. Can we even call it Election Day when early and mail-in voting lasts for weeks? No matter. At 8 PM PDT the last ballot will fall and we will see what we will see. While I know we are all hoping for results that night, and a decisive victory for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we might not know that night or for more than a week. We know the craziness of HWMNBN will ramp up, and we will have to endure further.
The only thing that keeps my fragile hold on my sanity is less than 10 pounds of baby panda, my created world of cartoon panda personalities, and of course all of you. Thanks for hanging in there, and for those of you who had to take a break, well, I hope you’ll wander back here at some point.
For now, writing and drawing ‘toons, making felty pandas, and working on a book project (more about that soon) is keeping me lightly tethered to the earth. Winter is setting in here, and the rain and dark are descending.
But it’s time for another installment of Beary Poppins! Huzzah!
Bears are VERY curious!
Be the Bear!

More Crimes Against Bears!
Frank and Mikey are mad as heck and they’re not going to take it anymore. I actually saw an ad for a *cringe* *gasp* TRUMPY Bear (I kind of threw up a little bit as I wrote that!) which was much as you would imagine it. I poor little teddy bear in a ridiculous suit with bad hair. Maybe it didn’t have a suit, but it definitely had a ludicrously long red tie and bad hair.
There ought to be a law against desecrating bears! Ha ha! I suppose some people might think I desecrate bears too.
Read on after today’s toon for news of some special edition holiday pandas!
This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!
Halloween pandas have arrived!
Don’t wait to order these mysterious cuties! They’ll only be available through October. I’ll do my best to get them to you in time for the holiday, but to be sure to get them before the witching hour, order by September 15th. I’ll do them in order that I receive YOUR order, so please order through the form on the Buy Stuff With Pandas page.
Pretty scary, huh?

Do NOT Disrespect the Bears!!!!
Bears do NOT have things easy. For one thing there are not nearly the number of unattended picnic baskets left in easy reach of bears that there should be, and the dearth of unlocked cars with boxes of donuts left enticingly in plain view is just shocking. (Bears have an excellent sense of smell, you know.)
But the person who put a tRUmp sticker on the tracking collar of a black bear in Asheville, North Carolina has gone several steps too far. AS a spokes bear for the organization from Help Asheville Bears (HAB) said, that the person responsible for the sticker placement had “apologized for their actions and promised not to have any contact with any bears in the future.”
One does wonder about the promise to “not have any contact with bears in the future”…
Surely they didn’t mean Frank and Mikey! Who could resist them?
Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey! Dis definitely will not stand!

If You Think YOU’VE Been Roughing It, There Was Only ONE Olive in My Martini!
While we try to distract ourselves from the latest crime spree in the White House, let’s re-join Frank and Mikey as they explore the wild frontier in Yosemite National Park! Due to the reduced services, they could not get room service at The Ahwahnee Hotel! Oh the deprivation! No wonder animals are going wild!
(For what it’s worth, when I visited Yosemite a few years ago, our budget did not extend to staying at the Ahwahnee, but we did enjoy a drink at the bar, then watched outside as the moon rose over Half Dome.)
Meanwhile, Frank and Mikey adjust to the harsh realities of the wilderness experience!
Wild thing, I think I love you!
Run wild, run free, Frank and Mikey!

The Call of the Wild
Some of the (few) uplifting stories of the coronavirus lockdown have been about animals doing things that they don’t normally get to do, in places that they normally don’t get to do them. From penguins visiting other exhibits in the aquarium, to pandas going walkabout in Copenhagen, at long last, wild animals got to reclaim the territory that was rightfully theirs, before people came and messed up the place!
Join Frank and Mikey as they reclaim their wild heritage!
Be a wild thing!
There’s more than one way to be the bear!
Panda On!

If You Go Out in the Woods Today…
Yes, it’s everyone’s favorite grizzly bears, Frank and Mikey, with some timely advice about keeping a safe social distance even when you are out getting some fresh air! For those of us who have a little more outdoor space of our own, getting outside is much easier than those who live in more urban environments. I know a lot of people who live nearby to the Smithsonian National Zoo in DC (aka the Pinksonian) who use that as a place to get their daily outdoor exercise. But now that it is closed to the public, those folks will have to venture farther afield to get some fresh air.
Fortunately, Frank and Mikey have some EXCELLENT advice for hikers!
You can always count on Frank and Mikey for the best advice about bears!
A reminder: Picnic Time for Grizzly Bears is an excellent song to sing to time your hand washing!
Picnic time for grizzly bears,
The little grizzly bears are having a wonderful time today,
Catch those hikers unawares
As they have their hiking holiday!
Check their packs for cuppycakes,
if we have cuppycakes you’ll never have any cares!
We’ll lick the frosting off our paws as we go home to bed
Because we’re tired little grizzly bears!
Panda on!

It’s Time For Your Favorite Show!
That’s right! Welcome to another episode of Bear Talk! Those lovable grizzly bears, Frank and Mikey are back! (you can’t keep a good bear down!)
But first, I want to congratulate the folks that work at Kickstarter for successfully organizing and forming a union. Kickstarter has been the home to various projects of mine sine 2012 when I launched my first project. Since then, it’s allowed me to focus my energy to do 8 projects to bring more panda fun to you! It is a company that was formed with the excellent mission and intent, to help creative project creators bring their projects to life. The people who work there should have the same agency and rights as the creators they help, to have their work valued and their voices heard.
Meanwhile, Frank and Mikey have some things to say about the NooZ of the day!
WEll, it COULD have been a hunt of Mittens Jr.!
Be the Bear!
