This has not been a great day, woke up with a headache. Not the headache in DC, this one a bit more localized. So I’m going to dive into the archives for some ‘toons from Septembers past!
THIS is your brain on pandas. Any questions?
Our humble beginnings!
Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.
And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…
And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!
somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?
We’re waiting…*tappity tap pity tap*Mittens is really back.
Sigh….He is back and we wish he would leave.
Well, that’s our dive into the archives for today! I’ll try to track down Frank and Mikey and see where they are on their trip to Brooks Falls for the 2025 Fat Bear Contest! Life is a laugh a minute, is it not?
Be the Bear Bob T this is why we can’t have nice things Panda
A busy day here at Panda Satire (Institute of Contemporary Thereof) headquarters, but we pulled this one out of our…well, you know.
Frank, Mikey, and Ping are on the road! Maybe they will be invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding!
Things are getting worse with the “man” who would be King. We will keep poking the bear, as it were!
Panda on, everyone! Bob T going down swinging Panda
BTW, there have been many reports of bears behaving badly, including a bear that wanted to work in an ice cream shop. Can I say we scooped that bear by about 14 years? Huh? Can we?
Of course now, The Panda House, at least as regarding Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie, is more of a magical concept than an actual place, since now Binky Li and QB live in the REAL Panda House. But in my mind, Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie will always live in that Panda House with their Mommee and Daddy (MX: Oh, thanks a LOT!)
Since Pinky’s birthday (Pinky: a BIG nashunal holiday!!!) is on Saturday, We will unveil Pinky’s new “Starter Pack” image today, along with a link to one of her products on RedBubble, the place that I make my designs available on stuff you can buy for your very own. It’s a fun way to support Panda Satire! (Ask and mebbee you will receive!)
But since today is Bikkie’s actual birthday, we must (we must, we must!) share some of our favorite snippets of stories about Bikkie, and of course, his beloved Mister Poppee!
Happy Bearday, Biscuit!
I guess all the pandas are going to want their own Starter Packs. Watch for them through the fall. I have so many ideas*.
Be the Bear Bob T *well, if we survive that is, Panda
A Panda Chronicles faithful reader shared this little snippet of a Meta A.I. reaction to my post of my “Fat Bear Week” Starter Pack. I thought it was kind of funny, but your mileage may vary. Here it is for your enjoyment/edification/outrage or whatever:
“Bob T Panda’s post suggests they’ve created something new, but details are scarce. The reactions indicate 57 people engaged with the post: 16 likes, 27 loves, and 14 haha reactions. Given the enthusiastic response, especially with 27 loves, it’s likely something creative or meaningful. Without more context, it’s hard to say what exactly it is, but it seems people are impressed or entertained. I’m here to help with a wide range of topics, from answering questions and providing information to generating texts and ideas. I can assist with creative tasks like writing stories or brainstorming, offer insights on various subjects, or simply chat about everyday life. What specific aspect of my work would you like to know more about?”
I could definitely add some editorial comments to Meta’s A.I. B.S., but I’ll leave that up to you.
Okay, I’m not really on vacation, it’s just that some days I don’t get the things done that I think I will. Meanwhile, over at the Substack, I posted the whole story of Ping being targeted by the evil ICE. The second installment drops soon today.
But it IS the Panda Birthday Season, and we do have some important Panda Birthdays looming, so I’ll just take a little dive into the archives and pull up a few things!
Guess who has a birthday in August?
Pinky: if you guessed any bear other than me, try again.
There must be cake!Oh dear….are you going to leave her there?Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!And it was ever thus….Meihem, not Mayhem.
Remember when Six and Sebben’s older sisters were Pinky’s nemesis?
I was really afraid this was going to happen.What is Pinky reading?
Don’t make Pinky mad!
Be the Bear Bob T I’ll probably have some new ‘toons next week Panda
Well, I didn’t get a new ‘toon done for today, but fortunately, the deep archives of the Panda Chronicles has something for everyone! Since I carelessly forgot Mr. Wu’s birthday last week (is it a sign of encroaching senility? Or maybe too much insane NooZ about you know who!!!!)we’ll instead have the ENTIRE story of Mr Wu’s adventure at the circus with the Panda Kindergarten!
Anyway, Here is one of my favorite Wu Self stories for your enjoyment!
Fanmail from some Flounder?Voices in the night, a ladder, a letter…adios…“Are we there, yet?”This is a case for…Inspector Panda!
I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane with the one, the only Real Wu Self!
Till next time… Be the Bear Bob T guess whose Birthday is coming up soon & if you didn’t guess Pinky, you’re wrong Panda
…and I can’t believe I forgot Mr. Wu’s birthday on the 29th! I am so ashamed! He turns 13 this year and you know what that means!
Today, I am a bear!
And now for today’s ‘toon…
In penance for missing Mr. Wu’s birthday, I shall forgo the cake, and just eat a bowl of frosting! Happy birthday, Wu Bear! You are still the best. Sorry that those other pandas stole your birthday for themselves!
Be the Bear Bob T I can’t remember everything Panda
It was too sunny to finish today’s ‘toon, but at least we already know that PPJ has vanquished the evil Ice Maiden and that Ping is safe. We’ll have a little epilogue next week, but for now enjoy these ‘toons from the archive, and rest easy in the knowledge that I decided not to stress myself out today.
Should Pandas pay their own way?Our corporate organizational flow chart…What cats are reading at the beach this summer!There must be cake!It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!This number is unlisted….The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?
Sigh…happier times, which we really need to remember, right? Keep resisting, keep fighting for truth, justice, and The Way of the Panda.
Yes, I am working on more ‘toons about PING-GATE (Thank you Aunty Loosilla!) but it’s another busy week, with delivering art work to Seattle on the agenda, so here are some relevant ‘toons from the archives.
Mittens finally has a corrupt enough cabinet to give him the green light for his big boy military parade, but this is not the first time he asked for it…
Do we HAVE to go?
A bear can dream…
We are 8 years down the road, but this hasn’t changed. It’s all too real now
Things are about as real as they can get.“We just want to talk!”The daily Hate (George Orwell got it right)
In 2020, the National Parks were shut down because of the pandemic. Now, there is a more sinister plan at work. The parks have been decimated by the firing of park personnel, and so now they are going to try to sell off OUR public lands.
It was better when the animals took over.
Be a wild thing!Wild thing, I think I love you!
I’ll be back next week with more from PING-GATE!
Be the Bear Bob T can I have another Bootini? Panda
kept me from finishing today’s ‘toon…I promise it’s in progress, but a painting took my attention this morning, a long nap yesterday afternoon, and tending to my mobile tomato garden also kept me from my appointed tasks.
Enjoy today’s offerings from the archives. I will say that nothing scary is happening to Ping this week as our story contuses to develop.
Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.
It seems like Six and Sebben need to make an appearance in our current story, don’t you think? Mittens and his evil minions wouldn’t stand a chance against them.
I promise I’ll have the next installment by Thursday!
Till then, Be the Bear Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda
I am taking advantage of both my last minute hustle getting ready for an upcoming art show* and my vast archive of Panda ‘toons, especially those dealing with Mittens’ malfeasance when it comes to making bank out of the Oval Office.
It is a myth that artists can paint up until the last minute before an art show. There is photography and much, much paperwork that needs to be done in advance of delivering the work, let alone the opening of the show. You can read about some of this here! plus, see some of the art that will be in the show.
Anyway, Here We Go! The Mercenary Malfeasance of Mittens!
Are all these paper clips mine?Hey! Why are you making another character of questionable ethics a CAT???“Be yourself – Everyone else is already taken”
-Oscar WildeClear as mud!
Fear not! I’ll be back with some new ‘toons next week!
Be the Bear Bob T is trying not to stress out Panda
