Russian Brown Bear Who Was Abandoned As A Cub And Raised By Humans Has Now Started A Modeling Career (35 Pics)

December 26, 2025

Stepan is a 28-year-old brown bear that is quite well-known in Russia for a good amount of reasons. As a cub, the infamous Russian bear was abandoned by his mother, but luckily enough, he was adopted by a pair of very loving humans, Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko.

Given that the bear grew up around people for the majority of his life (adopted as a 3-month-old cub), Stepan pretty much became a domesticated pet bear. To find out more about how the Russian brown bear became who he is today, you can check out our previous post, which focuses on the story of how the lovely couple nurtured and adopted him.

Nowadays, Stepan is not only a friendly and human-loving bear, but also a model for the famous Russian photographer Mila Zhdanova, who came to know about Stepan through his owners.

Mesmerized with the Zhdanova’s work, Bored Panda reached out to this incredibly talented photographer to learn more, and you can find an interview with her below!

Mila often features Stepan in her fairy tale-inspired scenes that will most likely remind you of a Disney movie. Various models have flown from all across the world and waited even as long as 5 years to have a chance to work with Stepan. And to create an even further illusion of a fairy tale, most of the models are posing in traditional Russian dresses alongside Stepan for truly mesmerizing shots.

#2

#3

Fascinated with Mila’s work, we obviously wanted to know how she came up with this whole idea and what was the reason behind it.

“I was creatively and mentally exhausted after a very big project. To me, it seemed like I was on the verge of depression and I even considered stopping taking photographs altogether. However, there was one small desire. I wanted to do a photoshoot with Stepan the bear. For several years, I watched him. I looked at how his owners were treating him (for me, the attitude towards an animal always comes first), and I thought that this would be a great end to my photography career.

After the long-awaited meeting and a photo session with Stepan, I realized that I wanted to continue photographing, I felt like there was no trace of depression I carried, so this experience only served as the next step in my career.”

#4

#5

The photographer also had several other reasons that continuously gave her inspiration for this project.

“Let’s be honest, most foreigners have very few associations with Russia, so to most people, a photoshoot with a bear sounds nearly impossible or even bizarre. However, the girls in the national Russian costumes look amazing, and next to such a large beast, it really does seem like a fairy tale. I should probably also thank my husband, as he helps me a lot—all the costumes ‘A la Russe’ are the work of his hands. Sometimes I truly do not understand how he makes such beauty, but that’s maybe just because he himself reminds me of a bear.”

#6

#7

We also took some time to find out about Zhdanova’s favorite photo from this whole project.

“My favorite photo from this project was taken during our first meeting with the lovely bear. In it, you can see Stepan holding a lollipop between his paws!”

Zhdanova believes that her photos represent a few different things, which are not only related to her.

“Using my photos, I try to tell different stories—about myself, about the world, about my country. Many people think that people don’t smile in Russia, and this is a completely false statement! Even the giant bear smiles in my photos, even though most people would assume it’s Photoshop, which, of course, is not the case.”

#11

When it comes to inspiration and motivation for her projects, Mila has one particular person in mind.

“There are many photographers and they are all good in their own way, as each has their own unique style. However, I would like to mention my friend. Her name was Irina Pirogova. She was a very good person and to be honest, she started photographing animals way before me, and that even included Stepan. I admired her style a lot. Unfortunately, Irina Pirogova died of cancer, but today I often find myself remembering her, and I even have her picture on my table.

I would like to wish everyone who reads this article health. Please take care of yourself and be kind, especially during these difficult moments that have fallen upon our world this year.”

#12

#13

The photographer’s working process with Stepan is not only pretty interesting, but also very amusing at times.

“I manage the filming process, but one also needs to understand the specifics of shooting with Stepan. When we are at the shooting area, we have everyone adjust to the bear’s mood. The model does not pose, but rather contacts the animal naturally. Stepan is never forced to do something, but is nicely asked. Sometimes he doesn’t want to, so we don’t insist. However, on the set, there are always jokes about arguments with the bear.”

Bored Panda had the opportunity to interview Jimmy once again! As They Can Talk is a long-running series, we were curious to learn how the artist keeps the creative spark alive. “I’ve found that stepping away and working on other projects has really helped,” he shared.

“I’m working on so many projects that are completely different from They Can Talk that my brain is just occupied at all times. I even started a different comic series (jimmytried) that has been a creative outlet for ideas that don’t fit anywhere else. I’m terrible at taking breaks.”

#2

#3

Jimmy shared that he makes a deliberate effort to keep They Can Talk timeless. “I want to make something that will age well and be just as relevant today as it might be in 20 years. I don’t know if that will be the case, but that’s the goal. It also tends to be the type of humor that I gravitate towards.”

#4

#5

When asked about the most rewarding moments or milestones in his comic creation journey, the artist shared that being welcomed into a community of cartoonists he has admired for years has been an incredible experience. “As far as most rewarding, just recently, I did a comic expo in Boston, and I met so many people that have followed my comics for a while, some that even traveled hours to see me. My jaw was on the floor. My readers are really thoughtful and supportive online, but it was a different experience entirely to meet so many of them in person.”

#6

#7

So, what’s next for They Can Talk? Jimmy revealed that he’s recently ventured into TikTok! “I’ve resisted joining it for a while, but there are so many potential readers that might never see my comic otherwise. We’ll see if it changes my approach to telling jokes- TBD.”

We reached out to the owner of Kensington, the canine featured in the humorous attorney ads, to find out more about the dog and the series they created together. We learned that: “Kensington is a 7-year-old female golden retriever living in Texas.”

#2

#3

As mentioned previously, in addition to starring in the ‘Campbell Wagtail & Fetcher’ campaign, Kensington has captured the hearts of thousands on her social media accounts. Her Instagram following exceeds 110k and continues to grow. According to the dog’s owner: “We’ve been sharing Kensington for years through all her social media channels @kensingtoncampbell. Our entire goal has always been to spread love, kindness, and a bit of humor and become the highlight of someone’s day, while also creating awareness for dog rescue and pet adoption.”

#4

#5

We were also wondering where the inspiration for this funny project came from. Asked if it’s drawn from real-life cases or experiences or solely on imagination, the owner answered: “Most of our inspiration comes from all the foster dogs we have had in the past four years. Everything we come up with is all in good fun. We come from very creative families.”

#6

#7

Lastly, we were curious which one of the ads created so far has been Kensington’s caretaker’s favorite. He shared with us: “Probably our favorite post has been, ‘Has dad ever f****d and blamed it on you?’ I think everyone can relate to body humor.” We also got a little teaser about what we should expect to see from Kensington Campbell in the near future: “We have tons of ideas still to come and Kensington’s ‘pawyering’ videos are coming soon. Stay tuned.”

49 Captivating Images By Masayuki Oki Celebrating The Quirky And Playful Side Of Cats

December 20, 2025

Masayuki Oki is a photographer from Tokyo who has a unique beat: snapping photos of stray cats all over the city. His adventure started in 2013 when he stumbled upon a cat in a park and couldn’t resist capturing its moments. Despite not picking up a camera until he was 30 and initially not being very good at it, Oki found joy in photography, especially when it involved cats. He’s been in love with cats since he was a kid but couldn’t have one due to his family’s situation, so he pours that affection into his photos instead.

Masayuki’s work focuses on showing off the personalities of these street cats, from their lazy naps to their curious stares. He believes every cat has its own story and tries to tell it through his lens. For the artist, photographing cats isn’t just about getting a cute shot; it’s about understanding them and sharing a bit of their world with everyone else.

Just like last time, Bored Panda reached out to Masayuki Oki, a Tokyo-based photographer with a unique focus: capturing the everyday lives and diverse personalities of the city’s stray cats.

Oki was captivated by the adaptive behavior of cats, especially their tactics to obtain food, which mirrored some of his own life’s challenges. He remarked, “Before starting cat photography, I didn’t know that cats go all out to charm their way into getting food. When I saw this behavior, even the proudest cats would act affectionately to achieve their goal. At that time, I was a corporate employee and not a very affable person. My work wasn’t going well, so I tried to apply the friendliness I learned from cats to improve it. Although it was too late to see any improvement, I learned it was an important lesson for me.”

#2

#3

Despite the challenges posed by the declining stray cat population in Tokyo, Oki finds joy in every cat he meets. He shared, “I consider it lucky whenever I encounter a cat, so I’ve never felt any difficulty in photographing them. Even if I don’t get a good shot, I’m happy just to know that the cat is healthy. However, the number of cats in Tokyo is gradually decreasing due to TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts. There are more days when I don’t encounter any cats. As a result, I have started going to cat islands for photography.”

#4

#5

Masayuki acknowledges the impact of other photographers on his work while humorously considering cats as his primary instructors. “I learned the philosophy of photography from Masato Terauchi, a Japanese photographer famous for his pictures of Mount Fuji. Although I am self-taught in cat photography, sometimes I feel as if the cats are telling me to capture the moment, making them my photography teachers. Personally, I also love the photos by Henri Cartier-Bresson.”

#6

#7

The photographer also expressed a deep desire to further understand and bond with cats, envisioning a world where he could communicate more directly with them. “The world of cats that I see is very limited, and I believe there is still much about their world that I don’t know. I don’t know what kind of moments those would be, but being considered a friend by a cat and being able to talk with them would be the most surprising and joyful experience.”

#8

#9

Reflecting on his decade-long journey, Masayuki remains committed to spreading happiness through his photography. “I’ve been photographing cats for 10 years now. I’ve always hoped that my cat photos would bring happiness to people around the world, and I approach my photography with that belief. It might sound laughable, but my feelings about this haven’t changed. So, if I could hold a photo exhibition somewhere in the world and publish a photo book that brings happiness to someone, that would be great. I have an exhibition in Taipei in March, and I’ve received an offer to create a notebook with someone from Chile. I believe my dreams are gradually taking shape. Also, I hope to be able to photograph cats somewhere in the world.”

“My Gums Are Bleeding”: 27 Funny Comics That Hit Hard, By Miles Erickson

December 20, 2025

Artist Miles Erickson creates the most hilariously insane comics under the name “My Gums Are Bleeding.” His sense of humor is pretty dry, sardonic, and irreverent, making them stand out with bold joke choices that always hit hard.

Nowadays, “My Gums Are Bleeding” has over 48K followers, but that was not always the case. As the artist wrote in an interview with Bored Panda, his Instagram page was initially his personal profile, going all the way back to eighth grade. After gaining popularity on Reddit, people started flocking to his account, and soon, 90% of his followers were there for comics, and only 10% were his actual friends. Since then, Miles’s audience has been constantly growing, and we are sure you will want to become one of them as well.

So, if you’re ready for a fun time, scroll down below to see what Miles has created since his last post.

#1

In the interview, Miles shared more about himself. He wrote: “Honestly, my artistic trajectory has kind of been all over the place. I got my degree in fine arts at Calarts, which is where I got into doing comics. I wanted to make movies, but movies are more of a communal art. You need to work with actors, costumers, producers, you need to schedule everyone, etc. With comics, there are no dissenting opinions, no bad actors, you just do what you want to do.

After college, I worked as a columnist at a newspaper for a while, which was the first place I got any of my comics published. Then I worked at an animation studio called Wild Canary, and then as a writer at another animation studio called Pencilmation. All my jobs have involved at least some facet of comic making, whether it be writing or drawing.”

#2

#3

When asked about the inspiration for the unique name of his comic series “My Gums Are Bleeding,” besides it at first being his personal account from 8th grade, Miles shared: “Honestly, you’d have to ask my high school self. But if I’d known the name was gonna stick, I probably would have picked a better one. Something like ‘____ webcomics’.”

Miles also shared that his comics “don’t really have any kind of agenda, political or otherwise. They’re really just there to make you laugh.”

#4

#5

We were wondering about Miles’s creative process, to which he responded: “It’s tough to pinpoint where exactly the jokes come from, they kind of just manifest. I rarely come up with any good ones when I sit around purposefully trying to think of them. There’s no lake or cliffside I go to where I sit and let inspiration wash over me.

Some of the time the comics are adapted from tweets or memes. Some of the time I’ll see a funny conversation in the comments of a Reddit post or something and I’ll think ‘How can I turn this into a 4-panel joke?’

As for the art style, I use a process called ‘rotoscoping’ where I take pictures of myself doing all the poses and then trace over myself, so that is actually me you’re seeing in most of those comics.”

#6

#7

In regards to audiences’ takeaway, Miles wrote: “I want my audience to laugh; I think if my goal were any more complicated than that, the comics would not hit the way they do, or they’d be something else entirely. I’m pretty comfortable in the fact that my content isn’t too deep and that people like it for what it is, a quick joke.”

#8

#9

Lastly, Miles added: “I have two books (My Gums are Bleeding, the Collection and Necromonica: Village of the Damned) both scheduled to release in 2025, please keep an eye out for both. I promise, if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll be absolutely inundated with information about both.”

Bored Panda reached out to Rupert to gain insight into his creative process and learn more about him. While his cartoons often depict quirky, cute, and humorous dog behaviors, we were curious about his perspective on what makes the bond between a dog and its owner so unique. “Dogs give their owners unconditional love and devotion and communicate with their eyes and body language, which connects with people at a deep level,” the artist shared.

#2

#3

Some of the situations in Rupert’s comics might make you realize that your dog’s quirky habits are actually quite universal! With that in mind, we asked the artist if he ever considers that certain behaviors or quirks might not be as common across all dogs when creating his comics. “Some dogs have individual behaviors but I don’t depict them as most people wouldn’t connect. I like to draw behaviors that are universally recognized.”

#4

#5

Rupert’s comics often focus on the lighter side of dog ownership, but are there any moments or behaviors that he thinks are important to address, even if they’re not as humorous? “I draw cartoons to give people a moment of happiness and laughter in their day so I don’t do anything dark,” the artist responded.

#6

#7

While the “Off the Leash” comics have wide appeal for dog lovers, we asked the artist if he believes his humor also resonates with people who don’t have pets. “My cartoons are aimed at dog owners for the recognition factor; if you don’t love or own a dog you might not have that recognition.”

In an audacious attempt, India performed its first-ever total bilateral or double-arm transplant – a major achievement in the surgical history of India. This is a first person account of photojournalist SL Shanth Kumar narrated as he went through the journey of the patient.

Imagine having lost both your arms in an accident in your sophomore years on the verge of adulthood. Add to it the predicaments of a proletariat family, and it is the perfect recipe for a tragic saga. This is exactly what happened to the erstwhile 18-year-old Prema. In the middle of 2008, during his summer holidays, he decided to help his family by working at a power station in his village and make some extra money. During that stint, in an unfortunate accident on June 28, Prema ended up losing both his arms, at the shoulder level, as 11000 volts passed through his arms and upper body.

Luckily for Prema, his life could be saved, but both his arms had to be amputated at the shoulders. In India, the concept of limb replacement is still not widespread. Considering the cost involved, along with the risk to life, people who have lost a single limb usually make do with their situation. Also, the post-operative care is expensive and exhaustive. Another important factor is that there are not many organ donors. For a double-arm replacement, the risks and other factors are just twice as much.

For Prema, the above factors worked out, and he also gained Dr. Satbhai as his confidante. Dr. Satbhai is a Plastic Reconstruction Surgeon, and he has been exposed to limb replacement for quite some time now. But doing a bilateral or double arm transplant was still a daunting task, as it had hitherto never been attempted in India. He decided to rise up to the occasion nevertheless.

21 Silly Comics Full Of Random Twists By “Danby Draws”

December 17, 2025

Sometimes it is necessary to take a break from the rush of the day and relax by taking a break with “light” and calming content. To help you with this task, we bring you the fun, relaxing, and inquisitive comics by Daniel Murrell from Southern California.

This webcomic series named “Danby Draws Comics” was started in August 2020 and is currently updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. According to the artist, it is a “gag-a-day” comic book that focuses mainly on life, family, games, and geek culture. The goal of Danby Draws Comics is to deliver lighthearted comics that make people happy.

Bored Panda reached out to Daniel to find out a little bit more.

“I just loved reading comics since I was a kid. And I have been drawing on and off for a long time. I used to post comics and only share with friends, but during the pandemic, I started sharing on social media. With some feedback and practice, they slowly got better. My main inspiration would be comic artists Bill Watterson and Kris Straub. The goal of the comic is to make beautiful comics that make people happy.”

We asked Daniel a few more additional questions. First, we asked the artist if he had any major influences in his life that might’ve helped her to develop and refine his style.

“Like so many others, I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes comics by Bill Watterson, and that had a great impact on the kind of comics I like to create. I still use the dark, inky outlines because I loved the way it looked in his work. I wish I could fully emulate the watercolors, but that’s hard to do digitally. Other major influences would be Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade and Kris Straub of Broodhollow. I’m a big fan of their works.”

Art, in any kind of form, takes a lot of time not only to practice but also to produce, therefore we asked Daniel how long it takes him to fully finish his comics.

“It can take some time just deciding what comic to make next, because I have maybe too many ideas, and they’re definitely not all good. I usually sketch it out, and show my wife for her approval. Then it might take me three to ten hours to finish the comic. I usually try to keep them simple, but they can get pretty intense art-wise.”

Being an artist is not easy, one can easily encounter a lack of inspiration, burnout, etc, so we wanted to ask Danby about his ideas for the comics.

“Generally, I just wait until I find a humorous situation, or observation, and then I try and build on top of that. For example in my comic with the people needing a unicorn’s healing tears, I just ask, what if the unicorn had trouble crying? What would happen then? You take this to its eventual conclusion and try to stick the landing. I usually like it when comics go in a direction you’re not expecting.”

As we mentioned before, sometimes creative work can cause quite a burnout, therefore we asked the artist how he dealt with that as well.

“Yeah, sometimes it’s hard when you spend a lot of time on a comic, and it doesn’t turn out well. It’s frustrating, and it’s easy to take it personally. Creating art is also challenging because you’re constantly pushed to put out more and more by your own desire to meet expectations. Sometimes I do have to take a step back and just spend some time on myself. I’ve only been doing this consistently for about a year, so I haven’t experienced anything like what some other creators have dealt with.”

We also asked Daniel about how people reacted to his work.

“Positively I hope! I’ve gotten a fair share of nice comments from people on the internet. I really appreciate those. Sometimes I get rude comments, but the healthiest thing is to just ignore them. I’ve also seen a handful of memes and amusing alterations of my art. You never know what’s gonna happen when you put out stuff like that.”

#11

The creative process is not easy, but there are many enjoyable parts to it.

“Definitely the art. I wanted my comic to feature humans in a more realistic depiction, even though it’s a challenge to draw. I love it when you can get the picture in your head onto the screen. I would say that’s where I’m the happiest. And sometimes the backgrounds end up too fancy because I just enjoy painting them. With digital art, you have a lot of wiggle room to make that effort to get the work where you want it to be. At the same time, keeping a schedule has given me a healthy amount of acceptance when things aren’t entirely perfect. You have to let it go and move onto the next comic.”

#12

#13

We also asked about the inspiration behind the artist’s Instagram account.

“Actually, at first I didn’t like Instagram, because you couldn’t really browse without an account. But then I saw that it really is a great place for artists to showcase their work. Twitter’s image restrictions are kind of hard to work around, but Instagram basically acts like a little gallery. Since joining, I’ve also enjoyed communicating with other comic artists, that’s been a big plus.”

Digital art and art, in general, is not easy and requires a lot of patience, time, resources, and in most cases even money, therefore we wanted to know how the talented comic artist started his own career in digital art.

“It all started with my first Wacom over ten years ago. Now I just do everything on a humble little Surface Tablet. In the past, I’ve tried my hand at other traditional forms of art such as painting, but I keep on coming back to comics. I have a lot of respect for other artists who can pull so much out of a single image.”

#15

Artists tend to get motivated by a lot of things such as curiosity, the search for beauty, or even meaning. Therefore, lastly, we asked Danby about that too.

“I would say that I mostly enjoy telling stories. Even when you have limited space, you still have the opportunity to be poetic in your own way. You can still capture a feeling that resonates with people. Though it’s not present in every comic, I often try to have it feel like my characters occupy a world that is larger than just the four panels you see.”
