I’m not gonna lie. It feels pretty dark right now. The House Republicans have passed their No Billionaire left Behind Bill, aka Billions for Billionaires Bill. Rural hospitals will close, as people lose their Medicaid health insurance. The ripple effects will be felt in all corners of the country. Spending FEMA money on concentration camps seems like a bad idea, just as hurricane season takes hold. Tent camps in Florida? What could go wrong?
Meanwhile, the only reliable NooZ source is covering the important story of the day.
PPJ has entered the story…what could possibly go wrong?
We can be sure that PPJ has some clever ideas on combatting the forces of evil, and the ICE Maiden. At least, I think we can be sure. The next episode is still revealing itself to me.
Till next time… Be the Bear Bob T is that a chill in the air? a disturbance in the Force? Panda
When at least a dozen people alert me to a NooZ story about bears AND all the major networks, major noozpapers and Youtube cover the story, you know that either the bears have eaten someone important (don’t get your hopes up), or some bears have done something adorable but naughty!
Young Pookies Mish and Lucy, a brother and sister pair rescued in Albania in 2021, had gone to live at an animal sanctuary in Devon, in the UK. A wild release had been attempted when they were a couple years old, but, ever the smartie bears, Mish and Lucy knew a good thing when they saw it, and refused the offer to “be free bears!”
While all the major NooZ outlets had the story, ONLY ZooNooZ got the interview!
The keepers referred to them as “naughty bears” in one story, and said if they ever see those other bears again, you know, the one with the hat and the other one with the fuzzy dice hooked over his ear, they will shoot them on sight.
“They appear to be a bad influence on our sweet, innocent bears,” said one keeper. “We can’t have them corrupting our young bears with their thieving ways.”
Frank and Mikey were unavailable for comment.
Be the Bear Bob T I thought we needed a fun story Panda
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!
Be the Bear Bob T can I have another Bootini? Panda
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!
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?
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, Be the Bear Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda
