Once again the day got away from me, so enjoy this bonus edition of gems from the archive. Offerings from Februarys past…
We have the very best facts
I *may* have attended a small but sincere protest gathering in Langley yesterday.
In fact, not only was as bad as we thought it would be, it was worse.
And 2025 version 2.0 of the F45 regime is worse still.
Unka Rusty has some seriously feisty opinions!
The Red Panda resistance will not be denied!
Do I smell smoke?Buh Buh Buh Buh BYE!!!!
Alas…
What’s a day without a visit from Pinky? (or Six and Sebben?)
Let’s face it. Things are getting really bad and they are going to get worse. Oh crap, I was trying not to say that, but it just slipped out. I’ll be back on Thursday, with the finished ‘toon I thought I’d get done today. Best laid plans and all.
If you need a really good laugh, please enjoy this SNL skit with some really star talent being as funny and raunchy as you could not believe. Woody Harrelson trying to keep from busting out laughing is priceless.
Be the Bear Bob T hoping democracy is not over Panda
Once again, I have not gotten the ‘toon for today done, but it will be ready for Tuesday. As is now my new practice, when other work (or excessive naps) gets in the way of me finishing the days ‘toon in time to get it posted, I will dive into the archives and find a few relevant ‘toons to bridge the gap till next time.
And boy do we have relevant ‘toons!
Since HWMNBN (aka F45*) is about to lie about upholding the oath to the Constitution again, I thought I’d share a few ‘toons from January of 2017. It’s gonna be a rough ride ahead. We can’t afford to check out entirely (as much as I would like to,) but we do need to be gentle with ourselves and engage in things that make us happy. I worked most of the day in my studio, and then got close to an hour in my garden before it started getting dark around 5. This is definitely an improvement over getting dark at 3:30.
So, without further ado, let’s ride the armored car down memory lane, as we remember Mitten’s first reign of terror!
Can I open my eyes yet?Whats a protest without pandas?Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!
Just a reminder to turn off your TV and internet on Monday, the 20th, to protest F45’s return to the WH. Nothing will piss him off more than seeing the terrible TV ratings, and to have the streets practically empty.
Are all these paper clips mine?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. But I hope the following photograph from the 2017 Women’s March held in Langley gives you a bit of hope. Despite the fact that many people (I think there were 4 buses full) went into Seattle for the much bigger march, lots of people came out on that sunny Saturday to stand against F45.
*F45 stands for Felon 45
Women’s March, Langley edition! There were many more people already around the corner, and more behind us. Let’s capture some of that hope for our future. We can at least go down swinging.
Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!
Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…Bikkie has a name!!!!Once upon a time…Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz ClimoI think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!It wasn’t me!A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!Let’s go fly a kite…uh oh.I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!Silly old bears!
Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!
Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.
Be the Beary Brave Bears Bob T I am a Swifty Panda
I’m trying to ease back a bit and enjoy the quiet of the season and get ready to welcome back some light into our lives.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Like THAT’S gonna happen.
Anyway, I’m gonna do this Encore Presentation in two chunks, for Thursday and Friday this week, then next week (hopefully, ha ha!) back to my regular schedule. Or as regular as things can be, all things considered. anyway, if you want to revisit one of my other holiday classics, (Pinky: starring ME! da only icon you will ebber need!) I did an Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol over on the Substck thingie.
So here we go! Sit back and enjoy Beary Poppins, part one!
Oh boy! Oh boy! A NEW story!!!!I can hardly stand the suspense! Who will play Beary Poppins???A spoonful of frosting makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down!The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!Bears are VERY curious!This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?Frank is off on a new adventure!Beary Poppins has arrived! Is there any cake? It’s been a long flight!I wonder why no one else applied for the job! I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?
Well that’s it for today! I’m so glad you’re here with me! ‘Toon in TOMORROW for the final installment of Beary Poppins!
I’m afraid once again, I have failed to finish the ‘toon planned for today on time (where DOES the time go?) so instead, we will have a re-broadcast, an Encore Presentation, if you will, of one of my favorite Holiday Classics!
It’s a WUnderful Life!
Starring the one, the only, the magnificent, Mr. Wu!
Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.Wu is a good bear at heart….Bee the bear tells it like it isWhat part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!You won’t like this, Mr Wu!Those darn cats!Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!A bear and his mom…together forever?
I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of It’s a WUnderful Life as much as I did! Stay ‘tooned next week for our regularly scheduled ‘toon plus more holiday classics!
For some reason I didn’t finish today’s ‘toon in time, but I’m on it. Maybe tomorrow?
The Power of the PoofRemember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.Not even CUPPYCAKES????
Honestly, I thought we would not be here again. I am so sad, so angry, so scared, for me and for people I care about. I seriously thought this would not, could not happen. We thought there could not be such a bat shit crazy campaign again by Mittens, against an inspiring, energetic campaign by Kamala Harris. I am afraid for the future of this country, as well as the rest of the world. I’ll be here as long as I still have the resources to keep going.
Yours in Pandas Always Bob T not another reign of terror Panda
I have to say, the story does make more sense (whew! what a relief!) when read in these chunks instead of once a week (or so) spread out over these last few months! And now when we definitely need some serious distraction, well…Our fairy Godmothers have shown up in the nick of time!
Let’s see what happens next!
Let the Palooza begin!!!! ‘Toon in again next time!
Only 26 more days till Election Day! Don’t forget to vote!
Be the bear Bob T how much more can we take? Panda
We’re back with the next installment of Pandarella! We hope you have your poppy corn ready, and mebbee a cupcake or 2. Also a Hanky. And a blankie to hide under!
Here we go!
Oh man! Pandarella is in a terrible spot! I’m sure it will get better next week…um…or mebbee da week after?
Be the Bear Bob T is counting on you to vote! Panda
