On Monday, we left our story just as Mei Xiang and Tian left for a holiday party, instructing Pinky, who was babysitting the small pandas, NOT to open the door to anyone!
Uh oh.
When trouble arrives, it’s time to call for some MEIHEM!!!!!
This may be a job for…Inspector Panda!!!!
Be the Bear!

How many times do we have to tell you, DON’T ANSWER THE DOOR!!!!!

Way back when, we predicted Pardon Palooza and wouldn’t you know, now it is coming to pass!
Meanwhile, Frank and Mikey are going through the marshymallows like they’re going out of style, because Mikey’s keep bursting into flames over the dumpster fire. The dumpster fire is heating way up too, as Mittens cannot believe he didn’t win, or at least that’s what he says. Meanwhile, he’s raking in cash from mostly small dollar donors, who might do well to put those $10 and $25 contributions away to buy stuff from the hospital gift store when they go in for COVID 19 after they attend another one of his super spreader events.
I’m sure they are all innocent, just like Mittens!
Did we not say he’d be selling pardons back in March? We even had Impeachment on the calendar back in 2019!
Made by the same highly scientific company as the Cute-o-Meter!
It’s been a long time coming. Hope he’ll be a looooong time gone!
I can totally see you know who doing this.
What did Mr. Bun Know and when did he know it?
Be the bear!

Oh man! This is getting pretty intense! How can Mr. Wu’s Mom not recognize the real Wu Self? But wait! Just like the Frank Capra classic, Mr. Wu sees the light and life goes back to normal!
Did you miss the beginning? Start HERE!

Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!
Be the Bear!

2020 seems like it was million years long, didn’t it? As we get ready to enjoy the wonder that is 31 Days of Pandas I thought it would be good to look back at a ‘toon or two from each month this year, so that we can see the many splendored (????) year that 2020 has been.
You might have noticed I have not done any post election ‘toons. Call it superstition, but until I watch Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take the oath of office, I am somewhat apprehensive that Mittens will manage to yank the rug out from under us yet again. Suffice to say, Pinky is taking the results fairly well (for Pinky) but I’m not expecting that to hold necessarily. As she said to me, “it’s been kind of hard to be my normal, outrageous self, when mittens is so outrageous on his own in real life. dis is beary unfairs to pinky. ”
In addition to the twice weekly new ‘toons, 31 Days of Pandas will feature Holiday Encore Presentations from the Panda Chronicle Archives. And…maybe a commercial or two from the Buy Stuff With Pandas pages. On Tuesday I will reveal the latest addition to the Felty Panda Pantheon (which according to my laptop dictionary can mean: a group of particularly respected, famous, or important people: the pantheon of the all-time greats.) I assume that goes for pandas too!
A reminder that PDXWildlife Auction ends today (November 29th) and that felty pandas bought during the months of November and December will trigger a small donation to PDXWildlife!
January brings us one of the more reprehensible creatures that abide in the land of pandas…
This makes perfect sense to me!
In February, the Impeachment saga went on, while unbeknownst to (almost) everyone (everyone but Mittens and some Senators who coincidentally traded stocks that were about to tank) a global pandemic was brewing.
What did Mr. Bun Know and when did he know it?
March: Later in the year, we lost our beloved icon, Ruth Bader Ginsberg. But earlier in the year, she was still kicking butt and taking names, despite her battle with cancer. She lives on in our hearts.
Meet Ruth Panda Ginsbear
April: The pandemic took hold for real, and while Mittens and his evil spawn tried to figure out how they could ignore it while making a buck off of it, governors (mostly in states led by Democrats) enacted quarantines and mask requirements to try to buy some time for hospitals that were being overwhelmed by COVID19 patients.
You can’t get more socially distant than sending everyone to their room!
Well, bless her heart!
May: Speaking of trying to make a buck off of the pandemic…
Wait…we get paid?
June: The pandemic raged on. Closed and deserted National Parks made room for the native wildlife. The Democratic field had narrowed to Joe Biden, and Mittens was aiming his propaganda machine at Biden, while continuing to mismanage the pandemic. Thank goodness Frank and Mikey were on the job to report on happenings at Yosemite National Park!
Be a wild thing!
Wild thing, I think I love you!
July: The Democratic Party stages a virtual Convention that a was surprisingly moving, and despite a few technical glitches, was both watchable and inspiring. Shortly before the convention, Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate. HUZZAH!!! Mittens produced a cringeworthy convention, at least partially on the grounds of the WH, which as it is a government property, I’m pretty sure was illegal. One of his lesser crimes, I guess. I’ve lost count.
Well, it IS rather easy to understand…
Personally, I think the voice of Pinky is much more soothing than that of You Know Who!
August: We learned of the death of one of the guiding lights of the Twitter Panda Community. She loved pandas and NASCAR and was a force for connection within the panda community. It was not coronavirus, but who knows if her heart condition would have gotten more scrutiny if not for the overwhelming strain that coronavirus placed on hospitals.
Meanwhile, despite a slight dip in cases in May and June, the unwillingness of some states to institute mask requirements and event restrictions, the pandemic comes roaring back. Just when toilet paper supplies began to normalize.
But late in august (the 21st, to be exact) we had some GREAT news!
Who will win? Six and Sebben battle it out on the track!
Mommee Mei has an eagle eye!
A new cubby! The possibilities are endless!
September: Ping learns he can stay forever, and Frank and Mikey become Felties!
Mommee Mei always knows the right thing to do and say!
Is that a donut I see before me?
October: Frank applies for a new job!
Frank is off on a new adventure!
And now here we are! November! Mittens Removal Day!
Mittens Removal Day!
Be the very brave Bear!

A member of the Panda Faithful said that she had missed several episodes of Beary Poppins, so I thought the Sunday archive presentation was a great time to get everyone caught up on the story so far. I really have absolutely no idea where this story is going, but at least we can see where it’s been!
Another alert member of the Panda Faithful reported on Saturday that Biscuit took his first steps! It’s just a matter of time before he is happily cubby trotting after Mommee, and then cubby trotting away from her as she tries to steal his apple treats! Also, Monday is his naming day, so we will see what his official name is!
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?
Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…
Just a reminder that while I do post these to Fezbook and Twidder, they are both capricious and irregular in what they show there. So, the best way to be sure you won’t miss a single ‘toon is to check in here at least once a week, and click back through previous postings to make sure you haven’t missed anything!
Be the bear!

This is one of those days when I don’t really have a theme for the Sunday ‘toon round up. Yesterday the power went out on the entire island, and I am rarely prepared for the first power outage of the season. For instance, I don’t have my little propane stove, which works without electricity all ready to go. Don’t ask. Also, the batteries in my smoke detectors picked that very moment to tell me they needed to be replace.
The smoke detectors are hardwired into the electrical system, but have battery back ups for when the power goes out. On this occasion, they started beeping incessantly. WHICH THEY DID UNTIL THE POWER CAME BACK ON AT 1;30-ISH IN THE MORNING…
So, here goes nothing. I’m just going to look up random dates and see what strikes me as funny today.
Uh oh! has there been Russian tampering with the selection of the Torch Bears?
Hey! watch where you put that torch!
Clear as mud!
Panda Cam Follies
Oh those red pandas! They are such characters!
You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?
I have extra frosting!
This is very scary, don’t you think?
Aw, Pinky…Bubba loves you!
Do we HAVE to go?
Things are about as real as they can get.
Move over Ping! I’m coming in too!
*Speaking of funny….
Be the Bear!

Fabulous Furry Friday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites!
I don’t know about you, but my anxiety is ratcheted up to about an 11. If you haven’t voted yet, the time is now. Unfortunately, with the perverting of Postal imperatives, the safest way to vote is either in person or hand delivering your mail-in ballot. I’m trying really hard to remain hopeful. Some states are reporting that their early voting totals are higher than their total votes in 2016. How many new voters that represents, we won’t know for a while. One thing is sure, there is going to be full employment for election law attorneys.
Since I didn’t have a plan for today’s ‘toons (other than the “Spring Forward, Fall Back” ‘toon) I’m just going to randomly go through ‘toons I published in November for all the years that this collection has been here!
2011: Pandas arrive in Scotland!!!
What could be more scottish than Pandas?
2012: Insider Twinkie Trading
Bob, Bob, Bob…when will you ever learn?
2013: Heh! Mommee plays a trick on Pinky!
Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
2014: Cats and Pandas
No, I don’t think so. Bwahahaha!
2015: Election shenanigans have been going on for a while.
And how did Pinky manage to hack into my computer again?
2016: Seems like such a long time ago, and yet…here we are…
Can I have EXTRA extra whipped cream?
2017: A Halloween Classic!
Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?
2018: The first appearance of Frank and Mikey!!!
Send in the bears!
Helloooooo bears!
I like bears.
I just had to post the whole story about Frank and Mikey ALLEGEDLY eating Justice Kravenklaw… For another most excellent take of the Kavanaugh hearings, I think this is the best!
And finally, 2019: The Bus is coming! Get ready for some serious underbussing!
Our favorite grizzlies are doing “The Bus”!
Panda on (as best you can)
