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!

A bear by any other name would smell as…okay…maybe that wasn’t the best quote when it comes to bears…

Did Mikey (finally) get a job?

I just love Frank and Mikey! Maybe they are coming to a state near you sometime soon!

The Return Of Frank and Mikey

4 Replies

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.

And if you haven’t already voted, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE BEFORE YOUR POLLS CLOSE!

Ice Cream Goes with Wedding Cake if You’re a Bear!

5 Replies

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.

Here with the real Bear Nooz…

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!

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!

Bears Will Be Bears: an epilogue of sorts

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?

Bear With Me

2 Replies

The bears with me, of course, are Frank, Mikey, Josie, and Pookie, and of course all the pandas. I recently changed the name of my Substack to Friendly to Bears, just because. I recently wrote a new thing there, which I hope you’ll read.

There is no truth to the rumor that Frank and Mikey have taken control of the ‘toons and are compelling me to write ‘toons about them instead of pandas. We will prove this by sharing today’s ‘toon…um…what happened? Where are the pandas?

The story about Frank and Mikey’s mom came from the keeper talk about the grizzly bear brothers who live in San Diego. Their mom really did get arrested and she really did get a “job” test garbage cans. I hope she doesn’t get fired with all the firings in the park system as well as the rest of the government.

The story about Josie..well, you be the judge if this is true.

There was a story on Fezbok about a little bear that was rescued by cows, until the Appalachian Bear rescue found him. Was it really Josie? We’ll never tell!

The Family History of Frank and Mikey (and Josie) Revealed!

4 Replies

We know a lot about our panda families, as they have been well documented and recorded on Panda cams, but Frank and Mikey…they have been somewhat more of a mystery.

There have been way too many revelations in the Nooz today. I think retreating to a bear filled forest is just what we need. (Well, what I need, anyway)

ZooNooZ Investigates: All the Nooz We Can Bear

6 Replies

By which, of course, I mean NooZ about bears. Speaking of bears, I changed the name of my Substack NooZletter to Friendly to Bears. While I am still searching for my Inner Panda, I thought a change was in order. Don’t ask me why. I think it was Frank and Mikey’s idea.

Speaking of Frank and Mikey, I was inspired by the story one of the zookeepers guides told us about their grizzly bear brothers that live at the zoo, and how they arrived there. Frank and Mikey (and Josie) had a similar story about their early days, and how they ended up where they did.

Who knows…it could be true…

The real NooZ is pretty scary and upsetting. If you can make the effort to call and/or email your reps in the House and Senate, it seems to be making a difference. Even if your reps are “Rs” they need to hear from you. Let’s make them nervous that they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t listen to their voters. You are their constituents even if you didn’t vote for them & you’re paying their salary.
