Encore Presentations for the Holidaze!

Between power outages last week, an overwhelming urge to get some deep cleaning and weeding out of stuff done, I have not made any new ‘toons these last two weeks. But the archives are full of holiday favorites, so I am going to share them with you this week and maybe next week, well, we’ll see about next week.

Who can forget the first time Pinky got to play in the snow?

And it was ever thus….

And when the Meihems came to visit…

Meihem, not Mayhem.

Or Pinky’s first appearance in the Panda-lympics games?

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!

Well, this next one isn’t particularly winter themed, but it is one of my all time favorites, and Bob IS wearing his winter scarf!

See? I told you it was broken!

I hope your holiday celebrations are everything you wish them to be. Me? I’ll be home tending to this, that, and the others, and singing along to your favorite holiday song!

‘Toon in Thursday for our annual replay of the 12 days of Crispmoss! I hope everyone is ready to sing along with Pinky!

Be the Bear!
Bob T Pass the Cookies Panda

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

The Wizard of Wu: Part 2: Spooky Season Continues some more!

Here we are again, with the next installment of your all time favorite Holiday Classic, The Wizard of Wu!

Don’t I know you from somewhere?
Mehitabel would like to register her protest about given the least sympathetic role in this adventure.
Okay, now it’s getting exciting! Scary parts dead ahead!
I have a bad feeling about this….

And in which we meet Mr. Toasty!

Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?

And who doesn’t like bagels?

‘Toon in again next time for more of The Wizard of Wu

Be the Bear
Bob T isn’t this better than listening to Mittens blather on about the Nobel Peace Prize Panda

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

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah…I’m WORKING on it…

Oops! Another week where I was too busy gallivanting around to get Tuesday’s ‘toon done, but never fear. I would not leave you without some entertainment! For your consideration, I have dug into to the archives to share some ‘toons from…the Pinky Zone!

He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!
oops.
Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….
Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?
Never say “No” to a Pinky!
I love a good art forgery, don’t you?

“How does you spell ‘hostage’?” hee hee hee!

Baby Pinky is kind of my favorite! I hope this will bring a smile to your face until we figure out what we’re doing on Thursday!

Be the Bear,
Bob T it’s not like there is anything else going on, is there? Panda

Part 2 of our Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins!

Here we are! Hi Hi Hi Hi!

Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!

Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…

Silly old bears!

Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!

Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.

Be the Beary Brave Bears
Bob T I am a Swifty Panda
