A bear by any other name would smell as…okay…maybe that wasn’t the best quote when it comes to bears…
I just love Frank and Mikey! Maybe they are coming to a state near you sometime soon!
Be the Bear!
Bob T there’s a new boss in town Panda
While there now appear to be many A.I. generated videos of bears doing naughty things in places they don’t belong, (FAKE NOOZ! FAKE NOOZ!!!!) this was a real story as reported by some semi reputable noon source.
So here is a little mystery, which I think has been solved. While I was away on my trip that the republicans partly ruined by closing access to Binky Li and QB shutting down the government, visits to The Panda Chronicles went way up. Like a lot. Where I usually get between 40 and 100+/- visits a day, I was getting 400 or more, and a couple days over 1000 visits.
As this has resulted in absolutely no new subscriptions, I can only conclude that I was being swarmed by bots and not a newfound horde of panda satire enthusiasts. If, indeed, you are a newcomer to panda satire, please comment! Visits seem to be back down to normalish levels now, but who knows? I get a lot of spam comments from Russian bots (which is the reason all comments must be approved before I post them) so maybe they invited their friends.

Bob T it’s nice to visit other bears Panda
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
It’s kind of like taking your car to one of those fancy car wash places, right?

Bob T is keeping an eye out for Josie Panda
There has been a lot of bear defamation in the NooZ lately. Is this sort of: A BEAR WALKS INTO AN ICE CREAM SHOP…or A BEAR EATS A WEDDING CAKE…the kinds of jokes we tell about bears? I mean Fat Bear Week IS a thing, but for the most part, they are eating fish (…yes we KNOW you don’t like fish, Mikey) not ice cream or wedding cake.
Many people have pointed out the various inconsistencies in the alleged photo of a bear supposedly eating a wedding cake, but if the bear was Mikey, well, I think you might have to re-examine the evidence…
Don’t forget to vote for your favorite Fat Bears!
Be The Bear!
Bob T I’m just “fluffy” Panda
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
Seriously, would you expect anything less from Frank and Mikey? (Ping can’t do everything!)
What a good time to get Mr. Wu Pirate Merch!
Be the Bear
Bob T just not like Frank or Mikey Panda
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!
Be the BEAR!
Bob T I’d rather have cuppycakes 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!

Bob T is lost in the woods Panda
