Well, things could be worse, I guess.
We’re not lost, we’re just…um…unlocated.

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!

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!
Our humble beginnings!
And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…
somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?
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?

Bob T this is why we can’t have nice things Panda
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!

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!
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!)
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*.

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.
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!
Uh oh, indeed!
Be the Bear!
Bob T pass the potato chips Panda
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!
Pinky: if you guessed any bear other than me, try again.
Remember when Six and Sebben’s older sisters were Pinky’s nemesis?
Don’t make Pinky mad!
Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll probably have some new ‘toons next week Panda
…and I can’t believe I forgot Mr. Wu’s birthday on the 29th! I am so ashamed! He turns 13 this year and you know what that means!
And now for today’s ‘toon…
In penance for missing Mr. Wu’s birthday, I shall forgo the cake, and just eat a bowl of frosting! Happy birthday, Wu Bear! You are still the best. Sorry that those other pandas stole your birthday for themselves!
Be the Bear
Bob T I can’t remember everything Panda
Where to?
Brooks Falls, of course!
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the wrath of Josie because of Frank and Mikey eating the entire linzertorte!
I wonder if Otis will make an appearance.
Be the Bear!
Bob T I prefer pizza Panda
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?
