I really don’t know how much more of this we can take.
It’s gonna take a lot of cocoa, little marshymallows and whippy cream to get through this.

It’s a heck of a day in the nooz, so I’m going to dig into the archives to give us all a little psychic relief so we can BEAR what is happening in our country.
There are a lot of bad people to eat.

Bob T you can’t say we didn’t warn you Panda
The first day of the New Year dawned gray and foggy and if that’s not some kind of metaphor, I don’t know what is! NYC has a young, progressive mayor. The pandas formerly known as the DC Pandas are living in China, but one thing Pandyland has, is suspension of reality and really high speed public intercontinental transportation! So you just never know where any one of the pandas will pop up. Even pandas (and cats) who have allegedly departed the temporal plane!
The younger generation of pandas now living in DC and Pandiego are getting ready to make their mark on Panda Satire. Will they get help from good pandas or will they take the council of…um…Six and Sebben.
Yes, yes, Crispmoss is over, but time has no meaning here in Pandyland. Before you know it, the Lunar New year will roll around and then there will be the Winter Panda Olympics, and there have been quite a number of bears in the NooZ, on which Frank and Mikey may have a lot to say!
As always, I’m so glad you all are here! I think it’s going to be a crazy year, here in the US and we are going to need to support each other through this. I’ll bring the Panda Satire. You bring the cuppycakes and whippy cream, and somehow, we might just get through this.
Panda on in 2026

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.
BE the Bear,
Bob T home from my travels Panda
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!
Bob T pass the potato chips Panda
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?

Alas, OITRW, ICE has not been melted. They are still out there doing terrible, terrible things to people in our communities who in no way deserve the treatment they are getting. We cannot look away, but we do need some relief as well. That is what The Panda Chronicles is here for.
Also cake.
There must be cake.
All we can do is keep on keeping on, and add as much kindness as we can to our daily lives. My most recent Substack thingie is about keeping going in the face of the insanity that smacks us in the face every morning. Making art, drawing pandas, and knowing you all are out there going through this too is what is going to get me through this, at least until it isn’t. I hope you’ll hop like a bunny over to read my piece called Despite Everything. And feel free to subscribe, which you can do for free or for a modest sum, if that is an option for you. Or you could send me a linzertorte. That works too.

Bob T raspberry Linzertorte is my favorite Panda
*OITRW= Out In The Real World
PPJ has entered the story…what could possibly go wrong?
We can be sure that PPJ has some clever ideas on combatting the forces of evil, and the ICE Maiden. At least, I think we can be sure. The next episode is still revealing itself to me.
Till next time…
Be the Bear
Bob T is that a chill in the air? a disturbance in the Force? Panda
That’s right! Pinky has entered the chat! If Pinky can’t fix this, nobeary can. After all, Pinky has a secret weapon: Princess Pinky Junior.
Sending out a big thanks to all who came out on Saturday to say: NOPE! NO KINGS! Unofficial estimates are 12.1 MILLION people came out across the country and not only in typical Democratic strongholds. Keep the pressure up!
Be the Bear!
Bob T nope nope nope nope Panda
You know I don’t mean to cause trauma to the pandas, but we are living this in real time in the real world. I don’t know where this ends, either in our story here, or in the real world. We are all immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants.
Today, The Ice Maiden had a sitting US Senator ARRESTED for asking a question at a press conference. Where does this end?
Stay ‘tooned!

Bob T this will not stand Panda
