There were Pandas and Pookies galore! Otis and Josie and Grazer, to name a few!
And who would have thought that Pookie would step in, in the role of “Actually, Reply Guy?”
If you thought you missed The 12 Days of CrispMoss you can find it HERE and HERE! Don’t forget to sing along with the bouncing bear! (I had to split it into 2 parts to present it in it’s full glory, as there are limits on how many pandas will fit in an email!)
It’s gonna be a bumpy ride in 2024. I’m so glad you all are here with me to see our way through it, with all the pandas!
Be the Bear! Bob T bringing all the bears to bear Panda
Uh oh. It’s another election cycle and guess who else is running (besides the usual suspects?)
Stay ‘tooned for next week’s Holiday Encore presentation, of The 12 Days of CrispMoss. (Pinky thinks it should be the 12 days of Pinky…what do you think?)
There is some stuff going on over at Substack that needs to be sorted out. If you are a follower over there, I am going to be asking you for your input. I try to stay off the computer most of the day, so sometimes stuff starts happening and then I’m like, “Huh? WTF?” anyway…stay ‘tooned! One thing that is certain, The Panda Chronicles is controlled by me, so you will always have a home here.
Be the Bear Bob T Why do we always have to contend with nazis Panda
We will get back to our story about Bikkie and Mister Poppee’s adventure soon, but as we are in the waning weeks of the year, it’s time for that popular feature, The Year in Review, where we look backwards and forwards and then trip over our own two paws.
And here, with our first installment, are Bob and Mehitabel, and a very special guest!
Thanks to an especially observant reader, here at Panda Central, we’ve been alerted to another Bear Behaving Badly, HOLIDAY EDITION!
So of course we had to take a time out from out continuing story, to tell the tail!
Not only was this bear behaving badly, I found another instance from a few years ago of another bear behaving like the Grinch! Can’t you just imagine the conversation between the bears?
I can!
Frank: Whoa! look at that deer! He’s YUGE!!!!! I’m gonna take him down! Mikey: um…I don’t think… Frank: No! He looked at me in a threatening manner! This will not stand! Mikey: That’s not a real deer… Frank: CARABUNGA!!!!TAKE THAT!…oh…um… Mikey: I TOLD you…. Frank: also, it wasn’t us.
Check it outand see if you can’t hear them talking…
The weekend got away from me, and I have a full plate this week, but even though I don’t have a new addition to our story in progress, I didn’t want to leave you panda-less!
Enjoy these holiday classics!
“why do I always get so kerfuffled when it comes to decorating for the holidays?”sweet!Schmoop!The Frank and Mikey burning 2020 dumpster Diorama! Complete with artfully hand stenciled habitat and burning marshmallows!
I hope you enjoyed these holiday encore presentations!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m still having a hard time coming to terms with the pandas leaving DC. I mean…how do we know that they didn’t double back, go through the secret tunnels Pinky had built, (MX: “WHAT secret tunnels?” Pinky: “um…you must have mis read dat, mommee…”) and are now hanging out in the luxury suite behind the scenes?
I guess we’ll find out soon!
Be the Bear Bob T I know nothing about any secret tunnels Panda
The world is insane. Don’t forget to make a little less insane, and get out and vote.
Mehitabel is still trying to school Bob on being a good citizen. Good luck with that!
BTW, I am not ignoring the fact that our DC pandas are heading to China. I am in denial, or more like, not quite sure how this will manifest in The Panda Chronicles. I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?
Please remember to vote today. Whether it is for school board or your city council, it’s all important. And really, don’t vote for Pinky. (Don’t tell her I said that)
Be the Bear Bob T I voted and my ballot has been received Panda
You might have noticed a little radio silence these past couple weeks. I was on a little vacation from the inter webs, as I made my last visit to see our beloved DC panda family. For those of us who live far from DC, the fact that the DC pandas are moving to China is somewhat abstract. I rely on the photos and videos of those who live close by to keep up with all the goings on of Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, and of course, Bikkie.
There have been pandas in DC all of my adult life. I feel lucky to have gotten to see them so many times, even if it is a mere blip of time to those who live within panda proximity. They will be missed mightily. Until we have pandas again, we will have to get by with other bears. I live just far enough away from the Pookies that I don’t get to visit them often, but hope to make another visit or two this fall.
I was inspired by recent news reports to write this ‘toon for Otis, Fat Bear Emeritus of Brooks Falls. No matter what the nooz reports say, Otis is innocent!
The destruction in Acapulco is tragic and terrible, but couldn’t they have found another ‘O’ name for the hurricane?
BTW, in the US, we go back to Daylight losing time, despite the efforts of those who have tried to put us on permanent Daylight Saving Time. Alas…maybe next year. As such, as it is the tradition here at The Panda Chronicles, I rerun my much loved ‘toon:
Fabulous Furry Friday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites!
Be the Bear! Bob T go see the pandas before it’s too late Panda
I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Halloween ‘toons from over the years, as today’s post coincides with Halloween!
Trick or Trick!!!!!!!Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!This is from 2019 and unfortunately still somewhat relevant
