So many things coming at us from all angles! And what could be more fun than a bear in a candy shop?
Did you take our little quiz?
Do you want some more options than I had room for on the ‘toon? How about: 1. Mittens got so mad that the pilot wouldn’t agree to bomb France on the way to Davos, that the pilot said, “Okay! I’m turning the plane around right now if you can’t behave!” 2. The “electrical” problem was one of those “lights on, no one’s home” kind of things 3. Stephen Miller’s coffin latch got stuck and he couldn’t get out when it was time to feed. 4. All the couches on the plane refused to have JD sit on them, and they kept ejecting him.
I could go on…but you probably are wishing I would get on with it and post today’s ‘toon!
Of course, when I say “no room for bears,” I don’t mean here at Panda Satire headquarters. Oh no! I mean that homeowner down in California who objected to an adorable little 500 pound bear moving in under his house.
Here, with the NooZ, is Mehitabel…
There’s a lot going on in the world right now. I thought we might need Frank and Mikey to make us feel better.
It’s a heck of a day in the nooz, so I’m going to dig into the archives to give us all a little psychic relief so we can BEAR what is happening in our country.
There are a lot of bad people to eat.
Be the Bear Bob T you can’t say we didn’t warn you Panda
While we should not forget the violence and criminal behavior on the part of Mittens supporters of January 6th 5 years ago, we do need to reward ourselves for surviving through it with the ongoing antics of Frank and Mikey, our favorite bears!
Of course, there is always the possibility that we won’t survive the present clusterfuck, but at least we’ll go down laughing and thinking of Stephen Miller being chased by bears! Wouldn’t that be special?
and because it is the 5th anniversary of January 6th…
If we don’t stand for justice, we stand for nothing.
Thank you for bearing with me (get it? bearing?hee hee)
I’m working on some new ‘toons, but in the meantime, I did some freehand (no pre-drawing) pandas with this ink brush that I’ve been playing with and want to get better at, so I drew some pandas. I also thought it would be fun to post my favorite New Year’s Eve ‘toon!
And of course, the classic, New Year’s Eve with The Panda Kindergarten!
The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?
I’d like to think that next year will be better, but I have no evidence that will be the case. Even if I fail on timely productions of new ‘toons this week, I’ll still be posting stuff from the archives, of which there are about 15 years worth. Wow! How did that happen?
Anyway, I hope we continue to survive!
Be the Bear Bob T will not be staying up till midnight Panda
Cuppycakes? Check! Poppycorn? Check! Hot cocoa with whippy cream and liddle marshymallows? Check!
Let’s get this show on the road!

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
…much faster than I expected. As such, I think it’s time to run a couple of my holiday classics this week and next, in the hopes I’ll have a little time and space to write a NEW Christmas Classic™️ before the actual week of Christmas. The idea just popped into my head, as all the best ideas do. Well, I guess we’ll see, won’t we?
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this encore presentation of…
It’s a WUnderful Life!

The heartwarming schmoopy ending!A bear and his mom…together forever?
I had so much fun re-reading this story and I hope you did too! This was one of my favorite stories to make a Panda Parody. Maybe because I’ve seen the original so many times…
and remember…
EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS, A PANDA GETS A CUPPY CAKE!!!
Be the Bear Bob T it’s beginning to look a lot like Crispness…Panda
PostScript: in case you were wondering, despite the fact that much of Western Washington State is currently suffering severe flooding, Whidbey Island is high and..well, damp, but not under water. We do have the possibility of power outages with the softened ground from all the rain, not to mention some of the bluff areas are probably going to slide. But we are not under evacuation orders and suffering the destruction of the raging rivers over on the mainland. So far we are okay on the island. I hope my western WA readers are safe. check in, okay?
Whether they head to China or take the long walk over the Rainbow Bridge, we never forget the pandas that have meant so much to us, and given us so many hours of joy. It seems only natural that the departed Mehitabel should interview the departed Gao Gao, and then of course, other ghosts of the Panda Chronicles should show up.
That Nixon’s Ghost is such a joker, right?
Be the Bear Bob T here to keep our spirits up Panda
I can always count on my faithful panda community to alert me to important stories (especially about bears behaving badly!) but sometimes the NooZ comes via other sources like Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, or The Stephen Colbert show.
This little NooZ story came from both of them and so the booking team at ZooNooZ arranged for an interview with this newfound celebrity!
