Panda embodies the modern problems and how our new technology, our new means of communication have brought us together (he loves cartoons from across the ocean) but ultimately all these ways to keep in touch and know each other just highlights how alone we are. Everyone has your number, but the phone won't ring. We've found more ways to be rejected.
Ice Bear is drawn from the genius we hope is inside of us, the one we can bring out if we could only be more machine like. In that state, there wouldn't be room for more much else. He feels complete with his brothers and he holds resentment for just about anyone outside of that. All of his friends are future enemies. His family is the center of the world and though that is an endearing trait, he reminds us that people do terrible things for love every day.
