Bob T isn’t this better than listening to Mittens blather on about the Nobel Peace Prize Panda
You know this is your favorite Spooky Season Story, right! It has everything! Wicked witches, enchanted bunny slippers, and dastardly cuppycakes. Not to mention, Mr. Toasty!
Isn’t this exciting? Now would be a good time for some Hot Cocoa and whippy cream and mebbee some poppycorn!
Be the Bear and ‘toon in next week for more Spooky Season Encore Presentations!
Bob T I’m scared now and the witch hasn’t even shown up yet Panda
There hardly seems like there could be an April Fool’s Day joke that would reach the absurdity of everything we are currently living through, but here we are. Alas, the weekend got away from me again (too many naps, too much cake…you know how that goes) so once again, I must dip into the archives for your entertainment today.
One little point of discussion after last week’s ‘toon, starring Frank and Mikey, with a discussion of some vital NooZ. It was pointed out to me that the story they told was NOT A REAL STORY! and I have some thoughts about that. First I made several references to Andy Borowitz, a well known writer of satire, who…um…broke this story. Secondly, have you learned NOTHING over the time since Frank and Mikey made their way onto the scene? When have they EVER said anything that is true? I mean…if Mehitabel had introduced the story, there is a 80%-20% chance that the story would be true, but as Frank and Mikey are the bearsonification of unreliable narrators, one would be well advised to never believe anything they say. Just ask Josie!
A recent (real) NooZ story that Elmer’s incels are turning their attention to The Smithsonian and THE ZOO to root out fraud and “improper ideology“… I felt moved to redo a little of the dialog from this classic from Pinky’s first campaign to be presydent…
IMPROPER IDEOLOGY my ass! I mean…Pinky isn’t even there anymore!
It really fits, doesn’t it? Now…on with a little Panda Foolery…
I hope you enjoyed this romp down memory lane!

Bob T improper ideology are us Panda
Here we are! Hi Hi Hi Hi!
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.
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’m afraid once again, I have failed to finish the ‘toon planned for today on time (where DOES the time go?) so instead, we will have a re-broadcast, an Encore Presentation, if you will, of one of my favorite Holiday Classics!
Starring the one, the only, the magnificent, Mr. Wu!
I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of It’s a WUnderful Life as much as I did! Stay ‘tooned next week for our regularly scheduled ‘toon plus more holiday classics!

Bob T Not obeying in advance Panda
Alas! My regular posting day did not fall on April 1st (aka a typical news day in our post apocalyptic times) but as I like a good joke as much as the next bear, please accept our one day late tribute to April Fool’s Day, and to Bob’s capacity for belief in these troubled times.
Pinky sez: “put mittens in the big house, not the White House!”
Be the Bear!
Bob T well it might have happened Panda
The weekend got away from me, and I have a full plate this week, but even though I don’t have a new addition to our story in progress, I didn’t want to leave you panda-less!
I hope you enjoyed these holiday encore presentations!
Be the Bear
Bob T I am way too busy Panda
Somehow, even with the extra time I gave myself, I just finished this this morning. Oh well.
If you missed our recap of the first 5 episodes, they were last week on Tuesday and Thursday! Go read them, quick like a bunny!
See ya soon!
Be the Bear!

I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Halloween ‘toons from over the years, as today’s post coincides with Halloween!
Be the Bear!
Bob T trick or treat Panda!
