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.
Sorry I can’t be there!
Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll just eat cake without you Panda
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
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!

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!
Our humble beginnings!
And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…
somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?
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
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!
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?
The Panda Chronicles predicts the future!
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!)
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*.
Be the Bear
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.
Oh my…I know I’ve left Frank and Mikey on the road with no direction, but I got distracted with a fun project, namely hand drawn and color Starter Kits!
What the heck is that, you might very well ask. If your fezbook feed is anything like mine, a lot of A.I. images are popping up all over the place, including some boxed set depictions of various things/people. So, a bunch of artists have done their own, starting with self portrait like “kits” all hand drawn and painted by the artists.
This was my first:
Then I did one for my friend in cyber space and real life, Terpie cat and her feline companions Ziggy and Marley
And finally, it seemed like it was just the time of year for this:
Don’t worry! I’m going to do one for Pinky, as well as Frank and Mikey, along with a whole bunch of other subjects. The more I do, the more ideas that pop into my head.
And, of course since these are so much fun, I thought it would be a lot of fun to put them on some stuff at RedBubble so you could collect your own! I know everyone hates getting so many marketing emails, but Redbiubble posts frequent sales, so it might be worth signing up to get their emails for a bit. I’ll let you know here when new designs are being released.
I’ll try to get back to Frank and Mikey’s Big Adventure this week or next!
Till then,
Be the Bear
Bob T buy stuff with bears 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
We have yet another report from the League of Animal Justice today! Multiple astute readers alerted me to this very important story about a Cape Buffalo who dispatched a trophy hunter down in the Limpopo game reserve. Seems like there is an organized effort there to counter violent extremists who invade their peaceful paradise.
Karma’s a bitch, ya know?
Just sayin’! What goes around comes around, if there is anyone *ahem* who needs to hear this.*
Be the Bear!
