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!
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.
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?
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*.
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!
