Cats take the center stage once again, with this story “borrowed” from Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!
Take it away, Mehitabel!
Bob: WE pandas COULD be predators if we really wanted to be…

Nixon’s Ghost makes another appearance as an official guest correspondent on the ZooNooZ panel! Who needs 60 Minutes when you have ZooNooZ?
It’s been quite the week, hasn’t it? Call or email your reps, watch some panda videos, (Binky Li and Queen Bee have been romping up a storm in DC. At least something good is happening there) and then go outside!
I’m listening to Taylor Swift and The Boss, because they are both hot as hell and they are much better to chair dance to than the whining coming out of the WH from F45v2.0.
Be the Bear!
Bob T winning not whining Panda
Bob T couldn’t help but be excited that the new Pope’s name was Bob. He…um….doesn’t understand the whole Pope naming thing. I wonder if he’ll have a hard time visiting the US, given that his name of his passport won’t match the one on his birth certificate.
Still hanging in there!

Bob T the infallible 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.
Fear not! I’ll be back with some new ‘toons next week!

Bob T is trying not to stress out Panda
Every day brings a new atrocity, a new incursion against integrity, against propriety, against the country, against the Constitution. Firing of the Librarian of Congress. Another fighter jet sliding into the sea. Another day of chaos at another airport.
The list goes on and on and on.
Now Elmo’s goon squad sent another email demanding daily accounting of where all the federal employees are working from.
Surely you don’t think the zoo is exempt, do you?
That QB is quite the corker, isn’t she? Queen Bee indeed!
Be the Bear!
Bob T down with flying monkeys Panda
Good intentions…blah blah blah…where does the time go…yadda yadda yadda… But every day I don’t get a new ‘toon done, it’s an opportunity to dig into the archives.
Hot on the news of Judge Box-o-Wine being the latest inappropriate pick for one of Mitten’s DoJ posts, I think we need something light and funny, as I think all our pulses are up, our sleep is down, and there aren’t enough cuppycakes to ease our anxiety.
Let’s see now…
I know I feel a little better after reading this story. I’m not sure it’s a good thing that Pinky’s fibs now sound less preposterous than the lies told by FF45 2.0. I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation from 2016. We need all the laughs we can get, don’t you think?

I wasn’t sure if I’d get this done for today, but here we are!
Bears are continuing to behave badly in the Lake Tahoe area (Henrietta says it wasn’t her!) Alert reader Linda L spotted this NooZ story about a bear named Cinnamon (allegedly) who (allegedly) stole a 3 gallon tub of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream from a local shop (allegedly).
“I don’t know what the fuss is all about,” said former Tahoe resident Henrietta the Tank from her new address in Colorado at a luxury “residential facility”. “It’s not like they can’t make more ice cream. Honestly! Nobody wants to share any more!.”
We all scream for democracy…um…I mean ice cream

Bob T make mine a triple scoop Panda
I can’t remember where I first came across this story, but even if it hadn’t crossed my screen spontaneously, at least 3 of my friends shared it “HEY HAVE YOU SEEN THIS????”
Of course this brings to mind another connection and one of my comics inspirations, the one, the only Dr. Lynda J Barry, one of the best cartoonists still writing and drawing today. If you’ve never read her ‘toons, what the hell are you waiting for? She has multiple books out, going back more than 40 years. She also received an honorary doctorate from my Alma Mater, University of the Arts. I hope the school going t*ts up didn’t invalidate her genius. (She also got a MacArthur Genius grant, BTW)
Pay particular attention to her classic Poodle With a Mohawk, which inspired ZooNooz’s special guest’s demeanor.
I thought we needed a bit of silliness to get us through the end of the week.
Happy May Day! Rabbit Rabbit!

Bob T wake me when he’s gone Panda
Why is it that many of our animal tales come from Australia? Is it because they have more things that can kill you? Or maybe they have lots of cute animals, like koalas that would rather bite you than be kootchie-kooed under the chin?
Today’s tail (ha ha see what I did there?) comes from one of our alert readers, Barbara Bee. From the picture shared, it appears that Australian possums are much cuter than American ones.
Oh, possum, I identify with you!
I mean….who wouldn’t want to eat so many pastries you passed out? No? Just me?
Be the Bear
Bob T sorry we were late today…not that kind of “late” Panda
Everyone who’s anyone is in on the absolutely if we told you, we’d have to kill you top secret chats coming out of the defense department these days.
Fortunately, Frank and Mikey are on the job!
Stuff is getting scary out there. I’m glad Frank and Mikey are on our side.
In other nooz, if we didn’t mention it already, Princess Pinky Junior has arrived in Vienna, to wow the crowds and make her play for world domination, Princess Panda style! Stay tuned!
