Anne Belov paints, writes, makes prints, and is the founder of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire. You can find her paintings at the Rob Schouten Gallery and Fountainhead Gallery, her cartoons on The Panda Chronicles, and her new book here. She also writes regularly for The Whidbey Life Magazine, a free journal of art and culture on Whidbey Island. Her main regret in life is that there is no MacArthur Grant for Panda Satire.
The actual Olympics may have ended weeks ago, but time has no meaning here! Here with the final event, are our favorite pairs of twins, The Meihems and their…um…”differently behaved” younger zizzies, Six and Sebben!
Let the games begin!
We will now bid the Panda-O-Lympics a fond fare the well, for another 2 years. Who will the torch bears be this time? Perhaps Fleur and Snowy? Stay ‘tooned in to find out!
Be the bear! Bob T Panda
Don’t forget the felty kitty project! Still 19 kitties available for their forebear homes!
If you didn’t set your clocks back last night, you are already late! That’s right! Most of the country goes on Daylight Saving Time today! I know I posted the following ‘toon. last week, but I love it so much I’m posting it again!
Fabulous Furry Friday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites!
I was informed by some very pedantic grammar person, that it is “daylight saving time” and NOT “daylight savingS time.” Sigh…there is no spell check in the inkwell!
Tomorrow is the favorite holiday of mathematicians everywhere: Pi Day (3/14)
Pandas, of course, think of it as “Pie Day” Because…who wouldn’t?
The Life of PIE….get it? *chortle chortle*
Or was it “The Life of Pooh?”
The irony of Mehitabel criticizing Pooh Bear for his wardrobe, does not escape me.I’m not sure Mehitabel has anything to talk about.
A reminder: The Felty Cat project is still going strong!
Check the felties revisited page to learn more about the project, and to fill to the form to order your felty kitty. At the moment there are still about 20 felty kitties remaining.
You’re not surprised, right? I sure hope Mommee Mei does not find out about this! I’m sure this is not what it looks like.
Be the Bear! Bob T Panda
I wanted to announce my felty cat project. It is explained in more detail on the Felties revised page, but here’s the gist:
I have now made about 25 felty cats. I want to do a special benefit with them, so after my production and mailing costs, I’ll be making a donation of $25 per (felty) cat to the Whatcom County Humane Society, in Bellingham WA. They do a wonderful service with their animals and even though I’m not in a place where I am ready to have another cat, I want to support them. For now, I am going to limit it to 25 cats, but if I find I make another surplus, I will do something like this again. I’ll post the remaining number of cats each day I post a new ‘toon. Cats are $55 each, including US shipping. (I can ship internationally, but the actual shipping charges will be added to the amount.)
Given the state of the world right now, I expect I will continue to need to keep making felties. It is almost as relaxing as watching panda videos!
Last week (or was it the week before? #TimeHasNoMeaning) Hank the Tank, a totally chonk black bear, was all over the inter webs, as he was accused of breaking into more than 30 houses in the Lake Tahoe area.
What’s a bear to do?
Does Hank have accomplices? Is he being framed? ‘Toon in again on Thursday and find out!
When I don’t have a planned theme for Sunday’s panda ‘toon Palooza, I sometimes randomly spin the date listing wheel and see what comes up. Maybe that will suggest a theme, or maybe I’ll just find some of my all time favorite ‘toons! Next week we return to Daylight Savings time, so that is a good place to start…
Maybe it’s an all Panda Kindergarten day!
spring back, fall forward?The panda kindergaten knows where you live.The panda kindergarten is so very helpful.Nothing like a bit of the great outdoors to straighten up the panda kindergarten.Put your paws together for the panda kindergarten!
Don’t you want to hire…
Nobody expects the panda kindergarten.
Available as a t-shirt and other items on Redbubble!
Someone might want to warn TFG to beware the Ides of March. Perhaps absconding with classified documents might be the very thing…
It continues to be amazing that TFG is continuously revealed to have done ever so many crime-y appearing things, and as yet has suffered no consequences for them. I hope this “so much winning” streak soon comes to an end!
There are a few more Pand-O-Lympics events to come next week, so stay ‘tooned! Also coming is an interview on ZooNooZ with Famed Bear about town Hank the Tank! Huzzah! I guess I have to make some felty Hank the Tanks!
Felty Polar Bear and her cubbies! Want em? Contact me!
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? Poot’n has invaded Ukraine, but the Ukrainians are fighting back hard and have no f**ks left to give. Europe has stepped up with aid and so has NATO. We are going to have our first female African American SCOTUS Justice, it the GQP can get its head out of its a** long enough to admit she is more qualified than the last 3 they rammed on to the court. Cue the “But maybe she is TOO qualified” chorus to start whining in 3…2…1…
Texas, Floriduh, and Oklahoma, oh and let’s not forget Virginia, are all trying to out do one another for the most regressive and cruel legislation on woman’s reproductive rights, health care for trans children, and education. I can only conclude that they want a beaten down, uneducated populace. No wonder Barker Carlson sings Poot’n’s praises.
sigh….
Let’s have some pandas! Time to spin the random ‘toon archive generator!
This is one of my earliest ‘toons and I dedicate it to James Fallows!“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “The panda kindergaten knows where you live.There…now do you see?Panda reproduction explainedOh, Mr. Bun! Where have you been?
Having lost his position as Team Panda coach, Bob decides it’s time for him to return to the ski slopes in hopes of winning Olympic Gold! Will Bob prevail? will he triumph over the giant panda slalom?
It’s just the GIANT SLALOM! Not the GIANT PANDA SLALOM!!!!
I think there is still a bit of Olympic excitement yet to come, but noon never sleeps, and there are breaking Nooz reports coming across our desk every day! I just can’t draw fast enough! Yowza!
This ‘toon (22oon) is coming to you at 2:22 on 2/22/22 (or for you folks not in the US: 22/2/22) Just in case you care about these kind of numerical occurrences…
Anyway…
Six and Sebben hit the slopes! (Not to mention each other!)
I heard they might also participate in the four panda bobsled event with their sisters, the Meihems!
