I can’t believe we need to remind people not to do this. There is more and more information that invading the personal space of a wild animal is a really bad idea. It can endanger the wild animals, not to mention, they might decide to eat you.
Frank and Mikey have generously agreed to deliver this year’s warning about this dangerous practice.
Do as we say, not as we do!
More to come from our exclusive ZooNooz coverage of the hearings about Mittens Coup attempt! Be there or be the bear!
Sorry for the late posting. I’ve been burning the midnight oil, the dawn coffee, and all the hours in between as I get ready for my painting show in July. where oh where did the time go?
Some weeks I have a time to expound upon, and then I look for archived ‘toons that illuminate that theme. Other weeks I have no idea what I’m thinking of and then I just have to spin the wheel and see what pops up.
One thing you can be sure of, it’s likely that Pinky will be involved!
On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….
Well…no Pinky in that one! let’s try again!
Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!And what better talk show is there, than Mehitabel Tonite!?I really had no idea what she was up to.Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!
Well as Pinky all says, you can never have enough ‘toons about Pinky!
And now, for some of our favorite Panda House ‘toons which might all feature Pinky. we don’t know. Moods, you know?
oops.Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.
Okay, Okay… I guess there are a couple OTHER pandas living at the DC Panda House!
I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.The Mommee Security Agency is always watchingI think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!
I hope you enjoyed our celebration of the 50th Pandaversary of Pandas at The National Zoo! Keep watching the panda cams and don’t forget us at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire!
The 50th Pandaversary celebration of all things PANDA would hardly be complete without an examination of every thought that has ever passed through the magnificent brain of the most important panda that ever resided at the Smifsonian National Zoo!
Oh sure, you might think Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were those most important pandas, since they were the first to reside in Washington DC. Or maybe you might think that the well loved Tai Shan (aka #1 son), being the miracle cubby who arrived in 2005, is that most important panda.
But only 1 panda was VOTED an icon in a national campaign by the Smifsonian! Guess who!!!!!
A tip of the tiara to Pinky’s twidder typer for this idea!
Soon to be available on my Redbubble shop as a T-shirt and some other things!
“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “What’s that stuff getting all over my paws? Oh…it’s frosting!
How about one of Mr. Wu’s stories?
Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?“Up in the Air, Junior Pandas…”Nothing like a snappy graphic to um…solve a problem!May Day! May Day!Bet ya didn’t see this coming…or maybe you did.
I hope you enjoyed this story as we celebrate 50 years of pandas at the National Zoo!
Yes, I know that Mr Wu is not an SNZ Panda, but he is related through his mom and Papa Tian Tian, who are half siblings!
Yesterday one of my pandemic ‘toons popped up in someone’s time line, so I thought I would revisit the pandas experience of the Panda-demic.
It’s nothing that a little cocoa can’t fix!You can’t get more socially distant than sending everyone to their room!Is FEMA stealing marshymallows too?Well, bless her heart!Here comes Meihem!
There is always excitement in store when Six and Sebben show up. Mei must have been desperate to suggest this. I bet she won’t make that mistake again!
I just sent a check for $500 off to the Whatcom Humane Society, thanks to everyone who ordered a felty support kitty! There are still 6 more available, so check out the Felties Revisited page for information on ordering!
Till Tuesday (when I WILL have a new ‘toon) Be the Bear! Bob T Panda
I just came home from a small memorial gathering for a friend who died earlier this year. He was a sweet man who definitely should not have gotten cancer and died, because he was one of the nicest men I ever met, and his wife is a lovely person who did not deserve to lose her best friend.
As you might imagine, I have quite a list of people who definitely would not be missed should they vanish from the face of the earth. I suspect you could guess who at least some of those people are. I suppose it is not very charitable of me to have this list, but after the last 5 years, I am not concerned with the justice or fairness of my list.
I thought of this ‘toon, made for a dear departed friend 8 years ago…
This one’s for you, Jude.
It’s hard not to think about justice or fairness when you watch even a little bit of the hearings for the SCOTUS nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. I admit to wishing that a piano might fall on the head of some of her interrogators. Why is it that an eminently qualified and compassionate individual like Judge Brown Jackson should be rudely condescended to by people who have less integrity than something I scraped off my shoe? To quote (with a slight paraphrase) the SNL parody of the Justice Beer Keg hearing, “You give her a damn robe and let her do what ever she wants, and put her on the court NOW!!!”
I hope that when she returned home each day from this circus, that she was met at the door by her husband and daughters, with a pitcher of martinis, confetti and balloons, and a stack of plates to smash on the back patio. I will be so proud when she takes her place on the court.
And if we need a reminder of what we have endured these last 5 years…
Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.Whats a protest without pandas?Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!Clear as mud!
I’m about to send a nice big check to the Whatcom County Humane Societybecause you, the panda (and cat!) fans have supported my Felty Cats for Actual Cats project. Thank you for all who have chosen a little felty companion (and helped to make a little more space on the windmills in my felty studio). I still have 10 kitties left if you were waiting (for some reason). If you order before the end of March, you will get an extra surprise!
