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.

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!

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

If Congress can go on Vacation in August, so can I

Okay, I’m not really on vacation, it’s just that some days I don’t get the things done that I think I will. Meanwhile, over at the Substack, I posted the whole story of Ping being targeted by the evil ICE. The second installment drops soon today.

But it IS the Panda Birthday Season, and we do have some important Panda Birthdays looming, so I’ll just take a little dive into the archives and pull up a few things!

Guess who has a birthday in August?

Pinky: if you guessed any bear other than me, try again.

There must be cake!
Oh dear….are you going to leave her there?
Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?
Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!
And it was ever thus….
Meihem, not Mayhem.

Remember when Six and Sebben’s older sisters were Pinky’s nemesis?

I was really afraid this was going to happen.
What is Pinky reading?

Don’t make Pinky mad!

Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll probably have some new ‘toons next week Panda

A Very Sunny Thursday

It was too sunny to finish today’s ‘toon, but at least we already know that PPJ has vanquished the evil Ice Maiden and that Ping is safe. We’ll have a little epilogue next week, but for now enjoy these ‘toons from the archive, and rest easy in the knowledge that I decided not to stress myself out today.

Should Pandas pay their own way?
Our corporate organizational flow chart…
What cats are reading at the beach this summer!
There must be cake!
It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!
This number is unlisted….
The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?

Sigh…happier times, which we really need to remember, right? Keep resisting, keep fighting for truth, justice, and The Way of the Panda.

Be the Bear
Bob T remember the good times Panda

A busy Weekend…

kept me from finishing today’s ‘toon…I promise it’s in progress, but a painting took my attention this morning, a long nap yesterday afternoon, and tending to my mobile tomato garden also kept me from my appointed tasks.

Enjoy today’s offerings from the archives. I will say that nothing scary is happening to Ping this week as our story contuses to develop.

Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!
This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!
I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.

It seems like Six and Sebben need to make an appearance in our current story, don’t you think? Mittens and his evil minions wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

I promise I’ll have the next installment by Thursday!

Till then,
Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda
