Day 22: 31 Days of Pandas

Well, I’m am running low on photos of Mini Bob from his London trip, so I will save those for days that I don’t have a cartoon to go with the the post of the day.

This year has been a hard year, not just because so many things about our future are in peril, due to the results of the 2016 Presidential Election. We lost so many luminaries from both the public and private sectors. Leonard Cohen, whose music provided the soundtrack of my tortured late teens and early 20’s, David Bowie, Prince, Gene Wilder, who is one of my all time favorite actors, Alan Rickman, who I grew to know in more roles than just Professor Snape. How could you be gone? There are so many more who departed this year, I can’t even name them all.

And then there are those from the home front who have left us all on our own. Sheryl Goldfinger, an artist and all around lovely person, this week succumbed to cancer after several rounds of treatment and remission. She will be missed in our small community, and by all who knew her. The only good thing is that she does not have endure 4 years of trumptastrophe. But bad that we don’t have her to keep us from going down that particular rabbit hole. Say “hi” to Alan Rickman for me, okay, Sheryl?

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here*”

Day 21: 31 Days of Pandas

We have reached the darkest day of the year, in more ways than one. If not for pandas, I don’t know that I would be able to go on. But here are pandas, and here is Pinky and Bubba. You will be happy (or not) to know that Pinky has gotten over her bout of niceness and caring and is back to…um…being Pinky.

But first, here’s today’s travels of Mini Bob Photo!

Mini Bob hobnobs with one of the locals! She’s wearing a tiara! Could it be one of the Royals?

But now, let’s get right to our feature ‘toon!

pandas

surely you didn’t expect Pinky’s good behavior toward Bubba to last, did you?

It is encouraging to note that Bubba is getting wise to his sister’s ways, but he…um…still can’t resist getting wound up by her. He best keep a close watch on Banky Pig, just in case Pinky tries something sneaky.

Panda On!

When the going gets tough, we must turn to… PANDAS ! Even when all seems dark all around us, we must believe that we are surrounded by light, and that the forces of goodness will prevail. We can do that, can’t we? In the meantime, let your Senators and Representatives in Congress know what you’re thinking. If you don’t tell them, they won’t know. Most of them have websites with contact information. Save it to your phone, and call them once a week. Or every day. I’m thinking there will be something going on just about every day for, oh…maybe the next four years you might have an opinion on.

Meanwhile, here is Mini Bob, surrounded by light in a safe place.

Day 18: 31 Days of Pandas

Mini Bob is kind of a culturally inclined bear, and so he never visits London without taking in a concert or two. Today’s photographic offering finds Mini Bob in the moments before a Vivaldi concert starts, at the world renowned St. Martin in the Fields. (as opposed to St. Martian in the Fields, more commonly referred to as War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells.) 31 Days of Pandas knows what is what!

And Mini Bob knows what is what; what, what?

The Hills are alive with the sound of Pandas….

And now, we return to the Story of Bubba, a small bear and his tummy…

Pinky does love her little brother! Or…maybe is she trying to pull a fast one on Santa?

You better watch out! You better not eat all the cuppycakes.
Pandy Claws is coming to town.

That’s right!

Today’s 31 Days of Pandas travelogue takes you to the seat of power in Great Britain, the Houses of Parliament. Sort of a “Bob with the Bobbies” kind of thing. Oddly enough, they did not invite him to address Parliament. Security was rather heavy, though, and we are happy that we were not arrested for photographing Mini Bob at the gates.

Mini Bob is unafraid!

Mini Bob goes Pexit!* Mini Bob looks a little apprehensive, don’t you think?

It’s Day 16, we have crossed the threshold of halfway through 31 Days of Pandas! Are we having fun yet? Well, we are if we stay off of Fezbook or Twitter or the news, lest we hear…um anything. So today, Mini Bob visits The British Museum and poses with an Elgin Marble or two. I always thought they were actual marbles, like cat’s eyes and whatever those other marbles you play with, are, but instead, they turn out to be a bunch of marble statues and building parts that the English guy Lord Elgin swiped from Greece. Not being a very good visitor, now was he?

It’s all greek to Mini Bob.

 

And now, we return you to: it’s a WUnderful Life! Starring The Wu Self!

It is the Ides of December. Not a good thing in March, and doubly worse in December, as we move towards the Solstice and the darkest day of the year. (One could make the argument that November 8th was the darkest day of…um….the century, but I digress.) But we are just about half-way through 31 Days of Pandas! Tomorrow we will rejoin our holiday classic, It’s a WUnderful Life! Huzzah! But now, we join Mini Bob as he takes a quiet moment to contemplate a card sent by his good friend, the Emperor Pew Panda.

What does that card say, huh, Petit Robear?

Mini Bob enjoys a quiet moment of reflection.
