About Panda in Chief

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.

What Have We Here? Pandarella Episode 25, that’s what!

We are definitely winding this fractured fairy tale down! And if you notice a resemblance in some of our players to characters that exited the story earlier, let’s just say that we have a limited number of pandas to play all the parts, so we make due where we can!

Now…On with our story!

Methinks mebbee the Queen knows something, perhaps…

Meanwhile out in the real world, shit is getting cray cray! Will there be consequences for Mittens and VD Vandal (soon to be played here by a weasel!) for the bad things that they are getting up to in Ohio? Sounds like some of the citizens of Springfield have filed a criminal complaint against them for telling lies to incite violence.

ZooNooZ may have an exclusive interview with a central character in the drama, coming on Thursday. Mum’s the word!

Till then…

They are not “Stories” They are LIES!

I swear the GQP is really trying to cause our blood pressure to soar so that our heads explode, and then since all the democrats will have exploded heads, we won’t be able to vote and they will be left to rule over their followers who, I think they actually despise. Won’t that be funny? Okay…not ain a “ha ha funny” kind of way, but “funny ironic” way.

Against our better judgement, somehow, Kitty Sue Conjob and Barker Carlson found their way on to the ZooNooZ set, with the results you might have already imagined. This story was ripped (off) from the real NooZ headlines. I bet you’ve heard something about it.

It has not escaped my remembery that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so over on the Sub stacks, I have shared my annual tribute to Pirate Wu!

I know it’s hard, but we must not lose heart. we must panda on!

Did You Know Today is National Voter Registration Day?

It’s not too late to register to vote if you’re not already registered. It’s also a good day to check your registration, even if you think you are registered. Do we have to remind you some states will cancel your registration on a whim, especially on days ending in “Y”!

Okay! We’ve made the important reminder! We want to vote to embrace JOY (although if your idea of “joy” is trampling the rights of women and minorities, what are you even doing here?)

But now for something REALLY important…

Episode 24 of Pandarella!!!!

Oh no! What will happen next? ‘Toon in next week to find out!

It’s Time for Another Episode of Pandarella!

It’s been a heck of a week, hasn’t it? Auntie K kicked Mittens butt in a debate, we commemorated another anniversary of September 11th, and had a visit from Nixon’s Ghost on the 50th anniversary of his pardon.

But now we get to what’s REALLY important! another episode of…

Pandarella!

How will we ever survive the suspense? Maybe it will distract us a little from that other suspenseful thing that is going on…

Is There Anything Going On This Week?

It’s a big week! And by that we mean, this week is the 50th Anniversary of Gerald Ford’s pardoning of Nixon. Was there ever a worse decision made by a president? Well, yes. Mittens says “hold my beer”

Is there anything else going on?

Ha ha! Just kidding! I’ll be watching, will you?

I do have some trepidation about watching the debate. I mean, we know Mittens is going to behave badly. Just how badly is the question. The other question is how much benefit of the doubt and “sanewashing” is the media going to perform, all the while holding VP Harris to an impossibly high standard.

Pandarella will be back on Thursday! Nixon’s Ghost refused to wait!

By the Sea, By the Sea, by the Beautiful Sea…

There is more Orca Nooz! Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Oh those little orca scamps! They are still flipping and frolicking in the ocean just off the coast of Spain, and gosh darn it! Oops, they did it again!

It is an easy mistake to make! What will those little imps do next?

It’s time for another episode of Pandarella!

The day got away from me, so let’s just cut to the chase, as it were, with the next episode of Pandarella!

Hmmm…the King and Queen remind me of someone(s)…

Pinky’s Cubpaign is in High Gear

Pinky has…um…drafted Bubba and Ping to help with her cubpaign. I guess they weren’t as fast as everyone else in their attempted escape.

What could possibly go wrong?

Darn that ear fluff!

Bob T don’t make Pinky mad Panda

Tonight’s the Night!

It’s Day 4 at the DNC Convention! Is tonight the night Pinky gets the nomination, or is there someone else waiting in the wings?

I gotta say, contrary to what you might think (or what you might have seen if you were masochistic enough to watch the RNC hate fest) the DNC Convention has been inspiring.

It has inspired hope
It has inspired patriotism
It has inspired JOY

It is time to do the work: check your voter registration. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about the stakes.

Considering, one month ago, I had never heard of Tim Walz. Tim Walz is the coach, the dad, the Vice President this country needs. His can do Minnesota spirit, his kindness, his compassion, his willingness to do the work to help his neighbors & heal the country are something I had lost hope of seeing in American politics.

I am seeing a much more comprehensive picture of who VP Kamala Harris is: what she has done, what she stands for, what she FIGHTS for. I believe she fights for us. I believe she has the compassion that can help heal our troubled country. I believe she has OUR interests at heart, and not her own personal gain.

I am glad to be reminded that there are people who actually want to serve the public & it’s not just the gotcha game played by Jim Jordan & Marge. #AmericaNeedsTimWalz & I hope you’ll join me in putting Walz and Harris in the White House.

Now…who is going to tell Pinky…

Times a wasting! Check your voter registration and VOTE!!!!!
