More from the archives…

Yes, I am working on more ‘toons about PING-GATE (Thank you Aunty Loosilla!) but it’s another busy week, with delivering art work to Seattle on the agenda, so here are some relevant ‘toons from the archives.

Mittens finally has a corrupt enough cabinet to give him the green light for his big boy military parade, but this is not the first time he asked for it…

Do we HAVE to go?

A bear can dream…

We are 8 years down the road, but this hasn’t changed. It’s all too real now

Things are about as real as they can get.
“We just want to talk!”
The daily Hate (George Orwell got it right)

In 2020, the National Parks were shut down because of the pandemic. Now, there is a more sinister plan at work. The parks have been decimated by the firing of park personnel, and so now they are going to try to sell off OUR public lands.

It was better when the animals took over.

Be a wild thing!
Wild thing, I think I love you!

I’ll be back next week with more from PING-GATE!

ICED: Calling Out The Big Guns

That’s right! Pinky has entered the chat! If Pinky can’t fix this, nobeary can. After all, Pinky has a secret weapon: Princess Pinky Junior.

Sending out a big thanks to all who came out on Saturday to say: NOPE! NO KINGS! Unofficial estimates are 12.1 MILLION people came out across the country and not only in typical Democratic strongholds. Keep the pressure up!

Our Story Continues: Iced! A Story No One Should Have to Experience

You know I don’t mean to cause trauma to the pandas, but we are living this in real time in the real world. I don’t know where this ends, either in our story here, or in the real world. We are all immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants.

Today, The Ice Maiden had a sitting US Senator ARRESTED for asking a question at a press conference. Where does this end?

Stay ‘tooned!

A busy Weekend…

kept me from finishing today’s ‘toon…I promise it’s in progress, but a painting took my attention this morning, a long nap yesterday afternoon, and tending to my mobile tomato garden also kept me from my appointed tasks.

Enjoy today’s offerings from the archives. I will say that nothing scary is happening to Ping this week as our story contuses to develop.

Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!
This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!
I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.

It seems like Six and Sebben need to make an appearance in our current story, don’t you think? Mittens and his evil minions wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

I promise I’ll have the next installment by Thursday!

Till then,

Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda

Oh my! The Egos are Fighting!

Do you think it will distract them for trying to hunt down Ping to deport him? Hmmmm…probably not.

I’m sure in the long run, nothing good will come of this rift between Mittens and E-Loon, but it has provided some entertainment value, am I right?

Meanwhile, our story continues!

For those who have joined us since my trip to China in 2017 (was it REALLY that long ago???) Ping Ping was a real panda that I met in china. Such a sweet bear! I decided that Bob T would bring him home, and he joined the pandas in The Panda House and became a beloved member of the panda family.

Who knew that you had to get permission to take a panda out of China?

KEEP PANDA-ING ON
Bob T I’m not sure how much more I can take Panda

Iced: A National Tragedy

Out in the real world (I’m really starting to dislike that place very much) ICE and DHS are ramping up the awfulness. Grabbing a high school student off the streets in Texas; invading a restaurant in PanDiego and handcuffing the entire staff, then fending off the concerned community with tear gas and flash bangs; swarming a construction site and arresting anyone who looked like a migrant; and causing a Southwest flight to land, then coming on board in full riot gear and searching a passenger, then taking them off in handcuffs.

And this is just the nooz of one day.

Is it any wonder that the real world has come to The Panda Chronicles? I don’t like to upset the pandas or you, friends to bears. But we cannot look away. Whether we feel physically able to be on the front lines is something only we can decide. But we should not look away, and we should let our legislators know how we feel about this.

Our story continues…

Bob T we will resist Panda

Iced: A Story Ripped From the Nooz

I know that many of you think of the Panda Chronicles as a safe haven. Oh sure, we make fun of Mittens and his evil spawn and minions, but with times being what they are, sometimes the most troubling nooz stories won’t stray from our thoughts.

I know that some of you might have a hard time with this story. I’m not sure where it goes and I will do my best to give it a happy ending, unlike so of many of the stories we are hearing about, not to mention the ones that are not as high profile so as to get a lot of coverage.

The Mittenv2.0 regime claimed (a lie, we know) that he was only going to deport the most hardened criminals. But that is not what is happening. People who are neighbors. People who are co-workers. People who have built lives and families and businesses are among those who are getting swept up in this cruel version of The Hunger Games.

We now present…

This story started forming in my head a few weeks ago, and it wouldn’t go away. We need to not look away from this humanitarian crisis within our own borders.

Nixon’s Ghost Returns!

Have you ever noticed how little difference there is between “gift” and “g(r)ift?”

Nixon’s Ghost makes another appearance as an official guest correspondent on the ZooNooZ panel! Who needs 60 Minutes when you have ZooNooZ?

It’s been quite the week, hasn’t it? Call or email your reps, watch some panda videos, (Binky Li and Queen Bee have been romping up a storm in DC. At least something good is happening there) and then go outside!

I’m listening to Taylor Swift and The Boss, because they are both hot as hell and they are much better to chair dance to than the whining coming out of the WH from F45v2.0.

A Pope by Any Other Name…

Bob T couldn’t help but be excited that the new Pope’s name was Bob. He…um….doesn’t understand the whole Pope naming thing. I wonder if he’ll have a hard time visiting the US, given that his name of his passport won’t match the one on his birth certificate.

Still hanging in there!
