31 Days of Pandas: Year in Review: March

March came in like a panda: sleeping half the day, and spent the rest of the time looking for Cuppycakes. It was also the month of the annual Pandamonium Panda Convention, this time in beautiful PanDiego!

Let’s see what the pandas rustled up in March!

Babette and her many admirers, at a Panda Convention dinner party!

Some things never change…

Well, she does have a valid point…

2018 saw the publication of another Panda Chronicles Collection, featuring none other that Princess Pinky! (Pinky sez you might want to give them for ALL your holiday gifts!)

Don’t ignore Princess Pinky! #ClapLouder

This was one of my favorite ‘toons of the year…

Well *bleep* and take your *bleep* and stick it *bleep*!!!!

I think we all need a little emotional support these days…(That’s why they invented six-packs of cuppycakes)

Yes, Pinky. I’m sure Mr. Bun IS emotionally supportive!

This ‘toon took on even more personal significance this fall when a gunman entered The Tree of Life Synagogue and killed 11 people, and shot and injured someone I know. Thankfully he has survived, but 11 others that day were not so lucky. Several of the brave responders were shot as well. When is enough, enough? I’d say that day came years ago.

WE will accept NO support from the NRA

I know this is supposed to be the March edition of The Year in Review, but it kind of went with the previous ‘toon, theme wise!

April Fools Day has always been my favorite holiday

Hey! Don’t forget to get this book!

Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?

31 Days of Pandas: Year in Review: February

Welcome to our Year in Review for February! Let’s see what was happening back then…

I really hate it when I’m right about stuff…

In fact, not only was as bad as we thought it would be, it was worse.

But there are always a few bright spots…

Aw, Pinky…Bubba loves you!

All that practicing for the Olympics really paid off, don’t you think?

Skate faster, Boo boo!

Four pandas are better than two.

The world swoons….

Tune in tomorrow as we march towards March!

31 Days of Pandas: Year in Review: January 2018

Welcome to our first Year in Review post, where we look back at my favorite ‘toons from each month this year.

Let’s spin the wheel and see what we were thinking about last January….

new year

I couldn’t resist.

Since it is January, I imagine Pinky has been given a resolution or two, (by her mom)  in hopes she will be a better panda this year.

resolutions

Pinky: “rules are for other pandas.”

Of course, being an Olympic year, the super secret selection of this year’s Torch Bears had everyone guessing!

Uh oh! has there been Russian tampering with the selection of the Torch Bears?

Hey! watch where you put that torch!

Of course the pandas had lots of practicing to do before the big event…

Hey! What are you two doing up on top of the ski jump?

Let Pinky be Pinky!

Alas…we were in for yet another year of life in the regime of “President” Mittens. Really, It couldn’t get worse, could it? Oh, yeah…it could.

Clear as mud!

Join us tomorrow as we look back on February 2018’s favorite ‘toons! See ya then!

Panda On!
Fa-la-la-la-la

31 Days of Pandas: Day 6…We now return to…

Yes! We now return to Pinky in Wonderland! If you need to refresh your memory, you can read the first episodes HERE, and the second group HERE!

It’s okay…we’ll be right here waiting for you to catch up!

So now, let’s continue with Pinky in Wonderland!!!!

I don’t know if I would eat that mushroom, Pinky!

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, we will be doing our Year in Review, with more episodes of Pinky in Wonderland resuming on Monday!

Ho Ho Ho!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 5: It’s about Time!

It’s about time we introduced this year’s 31 Days of Pandas!

This is insane! Why do we do this???

Well, people (not me!) run marathons and IMHO that is insane. People collect salt shakers. They eat strange green drinks made of lawn clippings. People do all sorts of quirky things. But why do I do this? Good question!

In the darkest days of the year, (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere~ *waves to our friends in Australia*) we need something to lift our spirits.
In one of the darker periods of our nation’s political history, I would be going insane without extra pandas;

I hope that you will be so appreciative of this extraordinary effort that you either subscribe to this blog (so you get pandas in your email, no fuss, no muss, no where did Fezbook put that)
OR
You buy all my books, or buy them as holiday presents for your friends and family;
OR
You want to support one of my upcoming projects that will be happening after the first part of the year;
OR
You will tell all your friends about panda satire and invite them to join in the panda fun because
You need extra panda-riffic-ness as much as I do! (and so do your friends!)

So with no further ado, let’s introduce this year’s 31 Days of Pandas!

31 Days of Pandas. You know you want this!

Huzzah!

31 Days of Pandas: Dating in the time of Mittens

Boy, if finding true love was not hard enough, politics has done it’s bit to make stranger bedfellows than you might ever have imagined.  New dating websites that specify political allegiance have been popping up (heh) all over the place. Lest you think I have been making all this up, I heard it first on NPR (I’m thinking Wait,Wait, Don’t Tell Me). Not that I wouldn’t make something this silly up, but this time (this time!!!!) I am innocent.

Even The Washington Post covered this story. I bet you could have an amusing time just googling Trump Dating Sites, but I would advise against setting up a fake account. At least one of these sites was hacked…um…pretty much immediately.

But what do pandas think about dating in the time of Mittens?

Love in the Time of Mittens (which, quite frankly, is a lot like the time of cholera)

Panda on!
Are we having fun yet? #31DaysofPandas

31 Days of Pandas: Day 3

Even though this is the third day of 31 Days of Pandas, this is the first new ‘toon of the month. To refresh your memory, the schedule for the 2018 31 Days of Pandas, New ‘toons will be posted at the regular times on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and encore presentations will be posted Friday through Sunday. (In case you need to plan your panda satire schedule!)

The encore presentations will each be a year in review kind of thingie, where I will pick out my favorite ‘toons from each month of 2018, and maybe add a little commentary about them as I am inspired to, or think you might be interested in the thought process behind my favorite ‘toons. (Also to see if I can remember just what the heck I was thinking when I made that ‘toon.)

So! On with Day 3 of 31 Days of Pandas! Huzzah!

Wasn’t there something during the campaign of 2016 about NOT using private emails and devices?

Be the Bear and see ya tomorrow!

Day 2: 31 Days of Pandas

We’re back for our second day of 31 Days of Pandas!

Huzzah!

Let’s get right back to our recap of Pinky in Wonderland!

And what magical place has Pinky found, as she opens the tiny door?

Those little pandas look vaguely familiar!

Wouldn’t it be better if dey was a very dark shade of pink????

Time to go off to find Mr. Bun!

I’ve always hated when movies do this…

Mittens: No Room! No Room! You look like you’re not from around here!

Our story continues…

What did we tell you?

Bubba wouldn’t be such a smarty pants if he wasn’t up in that tree (and couldn’t disappear at will)

Tune in tomorrow for the first NEW ‘toon of 31 Days of Pandas!

Huzzah!

It’s Time Once Again! 31 Days of Pandas Has Arrived

Yes, It’s been (another) hell of a year. So I asked myself, “Self…what could I do to improve the mood of the defenders of justice, the pursuers of happiness, and friends to furry creatures great and small…?”

I Know! Let’s have 31 Days of Pandas!!!!!!

We have a new format for this year’s 31 Days of Pandas. On Monday through Thursday, we will have a brand new ‘toon each day, and Friday through Sunday, we will revisit my favorite ‘toons of each month in 2018, with a teensy bit of commentary on the ‘toons.

But WAIT, you say! What about Pinky in Wonderland????

Well, I have been working on new episodes (Huzzah!) (Pinky: it’s about time! i am a icon, you know!). There have been so many current events that I have felt the need to chronicle, that Pinky in Wonderland was unavoidably delayed. Rather than make you search through all the older posts to catch up with the story, (would I do that?) I thought it would be a great use of the first two days of 31 Days of Pandas to recap the story till now.

Sit back, get some popcorn and Boo-Cola and enjoy episodes 1-9 of Pinky in Wonderland!

wonderland

Curiouser and curiouser…

wonderland

Pinky: mommee is making jokes again!

Was that Mr. Bun????

Sometimes being spontunerous can get you in over your head, Pinky!

Drink mee!

Well dis is a pickle an’ a half!

It would be better with a little salt and balsamic vinegar, but not bad!

We know just how you feel, Pinky. We feel the same.

What could be behind that door? Stay tuned, panda fans!

Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of 31 Days of Pandas and Pinky in Wonderland!

OMG Tomorrow is the beginning of 31 Days of Pandas!!!!!!

Nothing is more exciting than the beginning of 31 Days of Pandas, unless of course, it is finding out you just won the MegaGazillionsPandaPaloozaLottery!!! (BTW, I did NOT win this, so don’t ask for money, okay?)

So, as I gather up pandas from hither and yon, let’s warm up a bit with today’s Fabulous Furry Friday Encore Presentation! (It is not good to enter an endurance event like 31 Days of Pandas without doing a little bit of training! Cuppycakes, anyone?)

Get ready…get set…LET’S PANDA LIKE IT’S 1999!!!!!

In honor of the blue wave that just swept in…TSUNAMI PAINTING!!!

You say sumi-e, I say Tsunami

Always read the directions…

The panda kindergarten in las vegas hotel room

What happens in the panda kindergarten, STAYS in the panda kindergarten

This looks kind of dangerous, doesn’t it?

this old den 2nd episode

The panda kindergarten is so very helpful.

And what would the holiday season be without a gingerbread house competition?

You left the panda kindergarten alone with my house?

DON’T FORGET TO TUNE IN TOMORROW FOR THE START OF 31 DAYS OF PANDAS!!!!
