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!

Be the Bear!
Bob T we prefer to call it well insulated Panda

You’re Out of the Woods, You’re Out of the Dark, You’re Out of the Night, Step Into the …OOOPS

Seriously, would you expect anything less from Frank and Mikey? (Ping can’t do everything!)

Hey! Tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

What a good time to get Mr. Wu Pirate Merch!

Be the Bear
Bob T just not like Frank or Mikey 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!

Be the BEAR!
Bob T I’d rather have cuppycakes Panda

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMI!!!

yes, yes, I left Frank, Mikey, and Ping driving through the woods in the dark, but as a member in good standing of the Panda Sisterhood, it is my solemn responsibility to celebrate the momentous occasion.

Happy Birthday!

Sorry I can’t be there!

Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll just eat cake without you Panda

You’re Out of the Woods, You’re Out of the Dark, You’re Out of the Night…OOPS…My Bad…Never Mind

Well, things could be worse, I guess.

We’re not lost, we’re just…um…unlocated.

Be the Bear
Bob T I can’t wait to see what happens next Panda

Frank and Mikey’s Big Adventure Part 5

It seems like we should be way further along than part 5 of this adventure, but maybe that is because every day seems like it is lasting about 2 years. I wish escaping Mitten’s 2nd Reign of Terror was as easy as driving away with a couple of bears, but alas, we are stuck here for the duration or whatever is coming next.

So, without further ado (about nothing) let’s hop in the backseat with Ping as Frank and Mikey continue on their journey to hang out with their friends at the Falls, for the Fat Bear Festival.

Don’t drive like my brother!

A trip to the archives!

This has not been a great day, woke up with a headache. Not the headache in DC, this one a bit more localized. So I’m going to dive into the archives for some ‘toons from Septembers past!

THIS is your brain on pandas. Any questions?

Our humble beginnings!

Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.

And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…

And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?
Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!

somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?

We’re waiting…*tappity tap pity tap*
Mittens is really back.

Sigh….He is back and we wish he would leave.

Well, that’s our dive into the archives for today! I’ll try to track down Frank and Mikey and see where they are on their trip to Brooks Falls for the 2025 Fat Bear Contest! Life is a laugh a minute, is it not?

Be the Bear
Bob T this is why we can’t have nice things Panda

While the Bears Drive, The Pandas Watch the Homefront (aka the Panda House)

Some people (those people with no magic in their souls) might wonder how Pinky, as the parent of Binky Li, appears to be the same age as her snookums, as do her brothers, and to them I say, beats me! I just work here!

Meanwhile, it’s a little late in the day, so I’ll just leave you here!

Be the Bear
Bob T better late than never Panda

Just a reminder there are fun things to get over at Redbubble (with pandas on them!) and they seem to be having a sale right now!

Let’s Get These Bears on the Road!

A busy day here at Panda Satire (Institute of Contemporary Thereof) headquarters, but we pulled this one out of our…well, you know.

Frank, Mikey, and Ping are on the road! Maybe they will be invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding!

Things are getting worse with the “man” who would be King. We will keep poking the bear, as it were!

Panda on, everyone!
Bob T going down swinging Panda

BTW, there have been many reports of bears behaving badly, including a bear that wanted to work in an ice cream shop. Can I say we scooped that bear by about 14 years? Huh? Can we?

Should Pandas pay their own way?

The Panda Chronicles predicts the future!

It’s Birthday Week at the Panda House!

Of course now, The Panda House, at least as regarding Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie, is more of a magical concept than an actual place, since now Binky Li and QB live in the REAL Panda House. But in my mind, Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie will always live in that Panda House with their Mommee and Daddy (MX: Oh, thanks a LOT!)

Since Pinky’s birthday (Pinky: a BIG nashunal holiday!!!) is on Saturday, We will unveil Pinky’s new “Starter Pack” image today, along with a link to one of her products on RedBubble, the place that I make my designs available on stuff you can buy for your very own. It’s a fun way to support Panda Satire! (Ask and mebbee you will receive!)

But since today is Bikkie’s actual birthday, we must (we must, we must!) share some of our favorite snippets of stories about Bikkie, and of course, his beloved Mister Poppee!

Happy Bearday, Biscuit!

I guess all the pandas are going to want their own Starter Packs. Watch for them through the fall. I have so many ideas*.

Bob T *well, if we survive that is, Panda

A Panda Chronicles faithful reader shared this little snippet of a Meta A.I. reaction to my post of my “Fat Bear Week” Starter Pack. I thought it was kind of funny, but your mileage may vary. Here it is for your enjoyment/edification/outrage or whatever:

“Bob T Panda’s post suggests they’ve created something new, but details are scarce. The reactions indicate 57 people engaged with the post: 16 likes, 27 loves, and 14 haha reactions. Given the enthusiastic response, especially with 27 loves, it’s likely something creative or meaningful. Without more context, it’s hard to say what exactly it is, but it seems people are impressed or entertained.
I’m here to help with a wide range of topics, from answering questions and providing information to generating texts and ideas. I can assist with creative tasks like writing stories or brainstorming, offer insights on various subjects, or simply chat about everyday life. What specific aspect of my work would you like to know more about?”

I could definitely add some editorial comments to Meta’s A.I. B.S., but I’ll leave that up to you.
