Hope is the antidote to despair…

I’m feeling a little short on hope, to be honest. It feels like the world is spinning out of control and that the proliferation of evil is increasing exponentially, and those that bring hope and joy and help and comfort into the world have to run triple time with no hope of catching up. There are so many holes in the dam and we just don’t have enough fingers. My heart goes out to the people of New Zealand who have received our unwanted evil export of hate and violence.

Our pathetic excuse of a president says white extremist violence isn’t a thing, and the clueless Howard Schultz thinks that all the people booing and criticizing him means that the people really want him and are excited. Wrong on both counts, you clueless numpties.

But we have to keep hoping, until there is no hope left. Don’t we?

It was #NationalPandaDay yesterday…let’s have some pandas.

Atlanta twin panda cubs Mei Lun and Mei Huan and older prother Po

Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po! (This was before we knew the Meihems and Po were girls)

In the words of Winnie ther Pooh, “I think it’s time for a little something.

How many times do we have to remind you….

Nothing gets my spirits up more than baby Pinky!

Never say “No” to a Pinky!

Bao Bao is unhappy

Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

After the Mitten’s Tower sign, anything would be an improvement, wouldn’t it?

Well, maybe not this…

Has anyone checked Babette de Panda’s tax returns yet?

And what ABOUT that pesky thingie in the Constitution about not profiting from elected office?

“Hey! I’m still back here!”

Apparently #HowardsEnd (my new name for the erstwhile coffee billionaire would-be-presidential candidate) was “wowing” the crowds once again at the SXSW conference in Austin Texas. And by “wowing” I mean underwhelming the audience with his continued lack of any kind of policy specifics/visions for America other than, “Democrats are socialists”; “Everyone is mean to me because I’m rich,” and “Democrats are the real spoilers” Wah, wah, wah.

Is this what you mean by a “listening tour?” Be better Howard.

It’s National Donut Day!

And nothing goes better with donuts than…coffee! Specifically Pandabucks Coffee. But just because you make a good cup of coffee, it doesn’t mean we should vote for you for president, right?

More from the campaign trail!

Babette is going to have to do better than this if she wants the panda vote!

Spring Back, Fall Forward

It’s that time of year again! But Washington State is considering being on DST all year long. Since we are only on Daylight Losing Time for about four months, I’m not unopposed to the idea. The only bad thing, I would not have the reminder/excuse to keep running this ‘toon!

It’s time to Spring Back!!!

Bob explains daylight savings time to the panda kindergarten

spring back, fall forward?

As luck would have it, we are also entering….

The Panda Season of Love!!!

I hope people haven’t had enough of silly love songs!

it’s the panda, the panda season of love!

A panda by any other name, would smell…well, they would just smell…

The Scottish pandas have had a few disappointments…

A bear by any other name, would still smell pretty funky.

“It was dark….there were men in masks….”

Not only that, but Panda Scout Cookie sales are ending soon!

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

Be the bear!

You say “billionaire” like it’s a dirty word…

With apologies to that other Bob:

I pity the poor billionaire,
Who wishes the poor folks stay home.
He thinks that they all should just vote for him,
And then they should leave him alone.

I sure hope Pinky doesn’t find out about this.

Life is a banquet…at least if you are a billionaire…

Coming soon! The panda season of love!

And now, a subject near and dear to me…

I can’t help it. I’m a Scorpio. We hold grudges. And when you get a Scorpio artist/writer/cartoonist with the power to make fun of those who have wronged them and never apologized, well, then! Then we have an excellent story line for some ‘toons, should, for example, they decide to run for president as an independent candidate.

Any similarities between this ‘toon and a certain undeclared presidential candidate are quite possibly intentional.

What WERE you thinking?

Is it starting already?

In case you might be interested….

Sunday Funday!

…I have a new Kickstarter campaign running since this past Thursday. For those of you who don’t know about Kickstarter, here’s how it works:

and that’s what it’s all about!

Some of you may remember some earlier campaigns: (Not to mention what the panda kindergarten did to Mehitabel!)

Get ready…….

ready

Think of the next couple weeks like NPR and their pledge drives!

There was my campaign to raise funds for a trip to see pandas in China…

Isn’t it time for a cuppycake?

Of course, Pinky was happy to help!

Update!: We’ve already reached funding minimums! Huzzah! I’ll be posting some stretch goals TOMORROW!!!!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 31!!!!This is IT!!!!

Yep, we have lived through another 31 Days of Pandas, and for this (and the previous 2 years), I think I can speak for us all when I say that we really needed a little pandish hilarity.

Now, it’s time for a little panda party!

Nobody parties like a panda!

This is still one of my favorite ‘toons!

new years eve party, panda kindergarten

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

Is 2019 going to be any better?
Nah, probably not.
Panda on anyway

See ya next year!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 24: Pinky in Wonderland Episode 28

NOW it is actual Christmas Eve! I wish you tidings of comfort and joy, NOT treason and greed. I hope you have a little time off to celebrate the season. This is my week to see what’s what in the studio, count frames and painting panels, and start planning my year, both in paintings and in pandas. The world of the self employed artists does not have paid holidays!

You know what I want for Christmas! Hope we will get that soon!

Oh oh! What is happening! The room is spinning and it’s all going dark!
