Encore Presentations for the Holidaze!

Between power outages last week, an overwhelming urge to get some deep cleaning and weeding out of stuff done, I have not made any new ‘toons these last two weeks. But the archives are full of holiday favorites, so I am going to share them with you this week and maybe next week, well, we’ll see about next week.

Who can forget the first time Pinky got to play in the snow?

And it was ever thus….

And when the Meihems came to visit…

Meihem, not Mayhem.

Or Pinky’s first appearance in the Panda-lympics games?

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!

Well, this next one isn’t particularly winter themed, but it is one of my all time favorites, and Bob IS wearing his winter scarf!

See? I told you it was broken!

I hope your holiday celebrations are everything you wish them to be. Me? I’ll be home tending to this, that, and the others, and singing along to your favorite holiday song!

‘Toon in Thursday for our annual replay of the 12 days of Crispmoss! I hope everyone is ready to sing along with Pinky!

Be the Bear!
Bob T Pass the Cookies Panda

It’s Day 4 of our Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins, and the Grand Finale!

Bikkie has his Bikkiesaurus outfit, Beary Poppins has “escaped” (with mommee Mei’s help) from the clutches of Six and Sebben…what else could possibly go wrong????

Let’s find out, shall we?

Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz Climo
I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!
It wasn’t me!
A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!
Let’s go fly a kite…

Let’s go fly a kite…
Nope, nothing to see here!

uh oh.
I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!
Silly old bears!

I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins. It was so much fun for me to remember what a Little Miracle our Bikkie was in that year when we needed him so much.

There is a lot of terrible things happening right now and I know it is hard to be brave. But the only way out of this is through it and we have to be brave a while longer.

Making art and panda ‘toons is what allows me to be brave and keep going. Right now, the wind is howling, literally as well as metaphorically. I will keep keeping on as long as I can, and I hope you’ll be here with me. Let’s keep the magic of this season alive.

Be the Bear
Bob T I believe in little miracles Panda

Beary Poppins! Our story continues on Day 3!

Got your snacks?
Got your blankie?

Let’s GOOOOOOO

Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?
Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…
Bikkie has a name!!!!
Once upon a time…

I’d forgotten that it was during Beary Poppins that Bikkie got his dinosaur outfit! Beary Poppins is the gift that keeps on giving!

Be the Bear
Bob T will ‘toon in tomorrow Panda

Day 2 of our Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins!

Cuppycakes? Check!
Poppycorn? Check!
Hot cocoa with whippy cream and liddle marshymallows? Check!

Let’s get this show on the road!

This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?
Frank is off on a new adventure!
Beary Poppins has arrived! Is there any cake? It’s been a long flight!
I wonder why no one else applied for the job!
I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.

Uh oh…The Mayhems and Six and Sebben are about to enter the chat. What could possibly go wrong? I guess we’ll fine out tomorrow!

Be the Bear!
Bob T I wonder what happens next Panda

In Honor of Dick Van Dyke’s 100th Birthday…

It’s time for …

Beary Poppins!!!!!

As a special treat, for the next 5 days, we’ll be sharing the Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins! Yes! That’s right! EVERY DAY we’ll share 4-5 episodes of this beloved Holiday Classic starring Frank in the title role, and the pandas of the DC Panda House (Pinky: I thought I was da star!!!)

So here we go!!!

Oh boy! Oh boy! A NEW story!!!!
I can hardly stand the suspense! Who will play Beary Poppins???
A spoonful of frosting makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down!
The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!
Bears are VERY curious!

Oh my! What do you think is going to happen???
See you TOMORROW!

Be the Bear!
Bob T is making it up as we go along! Panda

Don’t forget to check out the Panda Chronicles books and stuff on Redbubble for your holiday shopping!

Can We Really Put a Date on Being Thankful?

How was that for weaseling out of finishing this ‘toon by last Thursday, the National Day for Americans to eat enough calories to feed a small nation? (Each of us) I managed not to explode (or finish this ‘toon till yesterday!)

Anyway, the pandas and brown bears wanted to wish you all a happy season of thankfulness, despite the continuing cluster**ck that is happening in the Capitol and various points around the globe. It’s clear (to anyone who isn’t hiding their head in the sand) that F45 is on the brink of total dissolution, despite the evil Nosferatu Miller and assorted slimy oligarchs slavering around the treasury.

I mean…I really hope there is something left when we get around to picking up the pieces.

Anyway…

I am immensely thankful to all of you who come around to read what I write and draw here. We need to have a little fun during this re-creation of The Hunger Games and The Handmaids Tale, right? How many times can we say THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FICTION?!?!?!?!?!

Meanwhile…

I suspect we are going to hear from the younger pandas who didn’t make it into this ‘toon. Sheesh. This job is hard enough without pandas yelling at me!

And if you are looking for gifts for your friends and family (or yourself…just saying) Redbubble is having lots of sales over the next couple weeks, so maybe something with pandas on it? Check out my Panda Chronicle shop over there!

Stay strong
Call or email your Congress People and tell them what you think about all this stuff Mittens is doing,

And always always always Be the Bear!
Bob T is trying to not panic Panda

A Halloween Carol; Part the second: Spooky Season Continues!

Oh boy! Pinky and the Meihems as the ghosts of Halloween past! What could possibly go wrong?

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.
Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…
Was that list in small type, single spaced?

Oh, there is that pouty Pinky face I love so much!

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?
Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

All’s well that ends well, right?

Don’t forget to ‘toon in on Thursday for the first installment of The Wizard of Wu! Another of our favorite Spooky Season Encore Presentations!

Be the Bear!
Bob T encore presentations are my jam Panda

It’s SPOOKY SEASON at The Panda Chronicles!

And you know what that means! Our annual Halloween re-broadcasts (i.e. Encore Presentations) of A Halloween Carol (starring Pinky and Mr. Wu!) and The Wizard of Wu! (Cue loud cheering)

First up is Part one of A Halloween Carol, with Part 2 coming on Tuesday.

Bubba’s first feature role! and the first use of the term “Worky Sit”
you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…
Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?
Hey! who said Wu could poof things?
One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?

Oh man! What is going to happen next? Stay ‘tooned till next week, but first, I hope you enjoy this little interlude ‘toon of Bubba as a baby cubby!

He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!

I hope you are enjoying these encore presentations of our favorite Spooky Season ‘toons! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Panda On!
Bob T they can’t shutdown the Panda Chronicles Panda

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!
