The Winter Olympics are Happening and I’m too Busy Watching Ice Dancing to Draw!

2 Replies

But the good nooz is, I have lots of Pand-Olympics ‘toons from Olympics past, so let’s get right to them, shall we?

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!

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

There is something about pandas and ski jumps, isn’t there. Kinda like
pandas on a slide in the snow” on steroids!

I hope this was a fun look back at panda participation in Winter Olympics past! Who says pandas aren’t natural athletes?

I know there is a lot of terrible stuff going on right now (let me count the ways…) but we gotta hang in there and panda on. I hope this visit to the Panda Winter Olympics helps you make it through the day.

Be the Bear!

I should probably quit pretending that I can get 2 ‘toons done in a week for right now, but I am ever hopeful. Fortunately I have SO MANY relevant ‘toons from Mittens’ first Reign of Terror that you would hardly know they are re-runs…um…I mean Encore Presentations!

Here are some ‘toons featuring Nixon’s Ghost, who I bet is going to have things to say any day now.

Amazing how relevant this still is 6 years later…

And of course, the Lunar New Year is about to start and it’s The Year of the Fire Horse. We haven’t done a new ‘toon for that (it’s coming, I swear) but here’s who was riding the range 12 years ago when the Horse Year last circled around!

Huzzah! It’s The year of Pandas on Horsies!

I bet Pinky’s girls, Four and Five will be getting ready for their Panda Chronicles Debut with their Year of the Fire Horse Presentation!

Pinky: nobody said anything about FIRE!!!

There is a Whole Lot of Underbussing Going On!

Well, I got all involved in a printmaking project and so did not finish today’s planned ‘toon, but we have a choice selection of ‘toons from Mittens first reign of terror that are sufficient unto the day, whatever the means!

Our favorite grizzlies are doing “The Bus”!

Oh no! There are no pandas in this cartoon!

It is a sad state of affairs that these ‘toons are both relevant and not as bad as things are now. I hope you are able to hold things together and keep voicing your truth. I am trying and sometimes am even successful.

We Need More Bears

It’s a heck of a day in the nooz, so I’m going to dig into the archives to give us all a little psychic relief so we can BEAR what is happening in our country.

There are a lot of bad people to eat.

More Bears In the NooZ!

While we should not forget the violence and criminal behavior on the part of Mittens supporters of January 6th 5 years ago, we do need to reward ourselves for surviving through it with the ongoing antics of Frank and Mikey, our favorite bears!

Of course, there is always the possibility that we won’t survive the present clusterfuck, but at least we’ll go down laughing and thinking of Stephen Miller being chased by bears! Wouldn’t that be special?

and because it is the 5th anniversary of January 6th…

If we don’t stand for justice, we stand for nothing.

Thank you for bearing with me (get it? bearing?hee hee)

It’s New Year’s Eve EVE!

2 Replies

I’m working on some new ‘toons, but in the meantime, I did some freehand (no pre-drawing) pandas with this ink brush that I’ve been playing with and want to get better at, so I drew some pandas. I also thought it would be fun to post my favorite New Year’s Eve ‘toon!

And of course, the classic, New Year’s Eve with The Panda Kindergarten!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

I’d like to think that next year will be better, but I have no evidence that will be the case. Even if I fail on timely productions of new ‘toons this week, I’ll still be posting stuff from the archives, of which there are about 15 years worth. Wow! How did that happen?

Anyway, I hope we continue to survive!

Encore Presentations for the Holidaze!

2 Replies

Between power outages last week, an overwhelming urge to get some deep cleaning and weeding out of stuff done, I have not made any new ‘toons these last two weeks. But the archives are full of holiday favorites, so I am going to share them with you this week and maybe next week, well, we’ll see about next week.

Who can forget the first time Pinky got to play in the snow?

And when the Meihems came to visit…

Or Pinky’s first appearance in the Panda-lympics games?

Well, this next one isn’t particularly winter themed, but it is one of my all time favorites, and Bob IS wearing his winter scarf!

I hope your holiday celebrations are everything you wish them to be. Me? I’ll be home tending to this, that, and the others, and singing along to your favorite holiday song!

‘Toon in Thursday for our annual replay of the 12 days of Crispmoss! I hope everyone is ready to sing along with Pinky!

It’s Day 4 of our Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins, and the Grand Finale!

Bikkie has his Bikkiesaurus outfit, Beary Poppins has “escaped” (with mommee Mei’s help) from the clutches of Six and Sebben…what else could possibly go wrong????

Let’s find out, shall we?

Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz Climo

I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!

A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!

Let’s go fly a kite…
Nope, nothing to see here!

I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!

I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins. It was so much fun for me to remember what a Little Miracle our Bikkie was in that year when we needed him so much.

There is a lot of terrible things happening right now and I know it is hard to be brave. But the only way out of this is through it and we have to be brave a while longer.

Making art and panda ‘toons is what allows me to be brave and keep going. Right now, the wind is howling, literally as well as metaphorically. I will keep keeping on as long as I can, and I hope you’ll be here with me. Let’s keep the magic of this season alive.
