Sometimes, someone behaves worse than Pinky…

You might think THAT could never happen, but that was all before 2016 rolled over all of us and “Mittens” moved his litter box (and his fiends and relations) into the White House. So, comparatively speaking, Pinky is a model of propriety. Imagine that!

Every night, I listen to Rachel Maddow as she explores all the twists and turns in the never ending drama of The Sopranos…um…I mean “Mittens” and his minions, related or not. Oy vey. Save us from millionaires who think that only they can fix it, and yes, I’m also talking about former Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz. To my knowledge, he has not indulged in the criminal behavior that appears to provide the bread and butter of the “Mittens” clan. Really, Howard’s only shortcoming is that he has neither the humility nor the willingness to listen to the “average working  American” that should be a prerequisite for the office.

Howard, if you want to run for president, either as a Republican OR a Democrat, I say go for it. Tell us in debates with other candidates what your views are; why your ideas are better for the American people (who are NOT millionaires) than those of the other candidates. That’s what this painfully long campaign process is all about.

Tell us what you believe in (and “the two party system has failed” is NOT a very informative statement.) and how you are going to make life better for all of us, of all races, genders, partner preferences, and religious affiliations. Tell us how you are going to make our country safer for all of us. Tell us how you would provide healthcare for all at an affordable price. We’re listening.

Geez…enough of this…let’s have some pandas!!!!

Mittens did WHAT??????!!!!????

Panda On!
Bob T Panda

Hey! Don’t forget! There are still 5 more days to get your fuzzy floof slippers over to Put a Panda on It, my Kickstarter project, and pledge to get your own Pinky Pin!

Welcome back US Congress!

It’s January 3rd and the US Congress is back in business, even if #Individual1 is still keeping the government shut down. (I’m writing this a few days before this post release, so there is always hope that all the government workers will get their jobs-and their paychecks-back before today.) Individual 1 may be under the false impression that Robert Mueller can’t work on the investigation, or other potential perils to the “president” can’t proceed. Ha!

A big pandy shout-out to all the brand new house members, particularly those who ran because they passionately wanted to make life better for those who have not had equitable representation before. Thank you for stepping up to the plate!

But enough about real life! Let’s get on with some pandas! (and cats!!!!)

Don’t forget Frank and Mikey!

Pandaing Ever Onward
Bob T Panda

PS: Just a reminder, there is no more Fabulous Furry Friday. (SAD!!!!) Encore presentations will now appear on Sundays. (Huzzah!!!!) And also a reminder that FB is becoming more and more capricious in what they show you in your news feed. If you don’t want to miss a single second of panda satire, sign up on the website via the FIRST sign up form on the top of the right hand sidebar, that says: Invite Pandas to your inbox. You’ll be glad you did!

New ‘toons will arrive on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Buckle up! Pandas are ready to prove that they are the most political animals out there!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 23/ September Year in Review

Oh my! it is Christmas Eve EVE! time to swill down some egg nog, finish that last minute shopping, and get ready for the final episodes of Pinky in Wonderland! Do we know what is going to happen? Well, SOME of us do!

But you’re just going to have to wait and see, won’t you?

And now, let’s continue with everyone’s favorite game show, Name that Personality Disorder!!!!

Someone forgot to take their meds today, I think.

Lock that cat up, for crying out loud!

You can dress him up, but you can’t take him out! Um…maybe you can’t even dress him up.

Yep, that old Mittens…he’s SUCH a charmer!

This was one of my favorite stories of the year. The lions paved the way for Frank and Mikey, the grizzly bears who…um…allegedly ate a Supreme Court Nominee.

Ooooooo-oooo-oooo-we have food tonight…

Here kitty kitty…nice kitty…

“We just want to talk!”

Did I just spill something on my new outfit?

 

Be a sneaky panda!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 20 Redux

Oh geez. I scheduled two days posts on the same day. That’s what happens when I try to do too many things at once. So, I hereby bring you a bonus post, but not a new ‘toon because I. Had. It. All. Worked. Out.!!!!!

So here are some holiday ‘toons for your enjoyment!

This one is a classic! Classic Pinky, that is!

You better watch out….

This one next is from December of 2015. I am sorry to say that we have not improved our behavior.

Consider this my Werld Peez Pandifesto.

And let’s all sing along on this holiday classic carol! Oh tidings of treason and greed!

Oh tidings of treason and greed.

And then, there is Christmas morning!

31 days

Who didn’t have a sibling like Pinky?

Sad.

Being da bear!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 16/ June Year in Review

Just think, in only six months, we will be heading for the longest day of the year, instead of the longest night. Will Mittens still be living in the White House with his crime syndicate family? Will Pinky stage a hostile takeover? Will Bubba figure out how to lock his door so that Pinky won’t barge in? Stay tuned!

We can’t tell you what will happen next year, but we can tell you what happened last year!

reality

Do we HAVE to go?

Things are about as real as they can get.

Move over Ping! I’m coming in too!

news

Pinky: i keep telling ebbryone you should have voted for me!

Pinky: “if i want you to have an opinion, i’ll give it to you!”

I can’t believe I started Pinky in Wonderland way back in June!

wonderland

Curiouser and curiouser…

wonderland

Pinky: mommee is making jokes again!

Was that Mr. Bun????

Sometimes being spontunerous can get you in over your head, Pinky!

Don’t forget to tune in Monday for Episode 24 of Pinky in Wonderland. If you have just arrived here, go back to this post and this post to get all caught up with our story!

Panda On!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 14/Don’t be an April Fool!

Yes, it’s Fabulously Furry Friday, once again and being in the middle of 31 Days of Pandas only makes it more FABULOUS! Oh, what a year it’s been, but now the doors of your Indictment Advent Calendar are springing open faster than we can keep up! Who will be the next to sing a song of woe and treason?

Only the “Bob” knows for sure!

April Fools Day has always been my favorite holiday. I know I already ran this one, but I thought, given the latest indictments, it was worth repeating.

I loved this story line, because Bubba got to be the star (at least till Pinky showed up.)

long goodbye

The Long Goodbye, or “Toronto Farewell”

our story

Mommee pandas have laser vision. Don’t even think you can hide, Bubba.

There’s always time for another cupcake!!!

So THAT’S how Pinky got there so quickly!

I wonder what this button over here does….AAAAAHHHHHHHH!

I’m pretty sure Pinky got everyone home safely, because you know what else happens in April…

Tax

The only sure things are Pandas and taxes.

The year’s insanity also included some inanity. 

truth

Foxxy “News” lies like a rug.

truth

Pandas COULD bite your head off if they really wanted to.

When the truth is found…
to beeee lies….

Let’s keep Pandaing on, shall we?

31 Days of Pandas: Day 5: It’s about Time!

It’s about time we introduced this year’s 31 Days of Pandas!

This is insane! Why do we do this???

Well, people (not me!) run marathons and IMHO that is insane. People collect salt shakers. They eat strange green drinks made of lawn clippings. People do all sorts of quirky things. But why do I do this? Good question!

In the darkest days of the year, (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere~ *waves to our friends in Australia*) we need something to lift our spirits.
In one of the darker periods of our nation’s political history, I would be going insane without extra pandas;

I hope that you will be so appreciative of this extraordinary effort that you either subscribe to this blog (so you get pandas in your email, no fuss, no muss, no where did Fezbook put that)
OR
You buy all my books, or buy them as holiday presents for your friends and family;
OR
You want to support one of my upcoming projects that will be happening after the first part of the year;
OR
You will tell all your friends about panda satire and invite them to join in the panda fun because
You need extra panda-riffic-ness as much as I do! (and so do your friends!)

So with no further ado, let’s introduce this year’s 31 Days of Pandas!

31 Days of Pandas. You know you want this!

Huzzah!
Be the Bear
Buy some Panda Satire

Will Fridays ever be Fabulous and Furry Again?

We survived the midterms and while we didn’t get everything on our wish list, we did get some of it, most importantly Democratic control of the House of Representatives. That’s not just chopped liver, I’m telling you!

Meanwhile, we are gearing up for 31 Days of Pandas and I think I have a plan! Meanwhile…

Let’s scamper down memory lane, with Pinky and her minions, who just turned FOUR years old last week!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Triple Trouble indeed!

What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?

Maybe you shouldn’t plug that many things into an extension cord, Pinky.

did someone turn out the lights?

And Zoonooz is on the job!

Cause and effects are very complicated concepts for baby pandas, don’t you think?

Zoonooz is on the job. Can you say “cover up”?

Pinky for what??????

Bob wouldn’t try anything sneaky, would he? Would he??????? Ah…such innocent times…

Panda on!
Bob T Panda

PS: For those of you who have been following the news in Pittsburgh, my friend was recently moved from ICU to a regular hospital room, so I am more optimistic, cautiously so. Thanks to all who have asked.

Make Pandas Funny Again

Just a reminder to everyone, that today is election day in the US. Everyone who hasn’t already voted by mail, or voted in early voting, should be heading out to the polls soon.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!

Have I made myself clear? Let’s not have a repeat of this:

day after

Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.

We shall overcome
Bob T Panda

You know what happens this week, don’t you?

This is the week. This Tuesday it happens.

Tuesday is the day we go to vote, if you haven’t already done so already.

It’s important every year, but this year it is so important all I can do is try to not think about how important it is or I would hide under the blankets eating frosting.

It’s extra important this year because:
Through gerrymandering and voter suppression, the GOP seeks to prevent likely Democratic voters from voting.
The lies being spread by our so called “president” get more outlandish every day, and they are specifically designed to keep the status quo in power.
In order to provide checks on you know who, we need at least one house of Congress to turn Democratic since the current republican Congress is handing you know who everything his heart desires, and then some.

Really GOP, is it so hard to tell the truth? Is it so hard to act in the best interests of the people you serve? When you started to block sensible ideas, just because they were proposed by the Democrats, rather than that you disagreed with them, you lost any respect I had for you. When you got behind a “president” whose actions are so antithetical to your so called Christian values, you lost your credibility. When you equate a church shooting with a disrupted dinner, you lost your soul. And could you guys quit lying and trying to take our healthcare and social security?

Okay, rant over. Now go vote. Here are some pandas. Oops. They are ranting too.

Seriously, don’t forget to vote!

Panda On and VOTE for crying out loud!
