Today is the first day of Spring, the Vernal Equinox, a day of equal day and night (in theory, any way!) It is also the 50th anniversary year of pandas at the Smithsonian National Zoo, in the other Washington!
So, of course, we must celebrate the Nixon pandas!
I am only making some of this up.
Let’s see what other Spring ‘toons might be lurking in the archives…
The secret lives of the wild panda!On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….
And, as the unionization effort ramps up at Starbucks, I am reminded of my experience in the coffee mines, lo these many years ago!
This was way too much fun. :o)
Solidarity forever, guys!
There are still about 12 felted kitties left! Check out the Felties Revisited page for details!
If you didn’t set your clocks back last night, you are already late! That’s right! Most of the country goes on Daylight Saving Time today! I know I posted the following ‘toon. last week, but I love it so much I’m posting it again!
Fabulous Furry Friday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites!
I was informed by some very pedantic grammar person, that it is “daylight saving time” and NOT “daylight savingS time.” Sigh…there is no spell check in the inkwell!
Tomorrow is the favorite holiday of mathematicians everywhere: Pi Day (3/14)
Pandas, of course, think of it as “Pie Day” Because…who wouldn’t?
The Life of PIE….get it? *chortle chortle*
Or was it “The Life of Pooh?”
The irony of Mehitabel criticizing Pooh Bear for his wardrobe, does not escape me.I’m not sure Mehitabel has anything to talk about.
A reminder: The Felty Cat project is still going strong!
Check the felties revisited page to learn more about the project, and to fill to the form to order your felty kitty. At the moment there are still about 20 felty kitties remaining.
Last week (or was it the week before? #TimeHasNoMeaning) Hank the Tank, a totally chonk black bear, was all over the inter webs, as he was accused of breaking into more than 30 houses in the Lake Tahoe area.
What’s a bear to do?
Does Hank have accomplices? Is he being framed? ‘Toon in again on Thursday and find out!
Someone might want to warn TFG to beware the Ides of March. Perhaps absconding with classified documents might be the very thing…
It continues to be amazing that TFG is continuously revealed to have done ever so many crime-y appearing things, and as yet has suffered no consequences for them. I hope this “so much winning” streak soon comes to an end!
There are a few more Pand-O-Lympics events to come next week, so stay ‘tooned! Also coming is an interview on ZooNooZ with Famed Bear about town Hank the Tank! Huzzah! I guess I have to make some felty Hank the Tanks!
Felty Polar Bear and her cubbies! Want em? Contact me!
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? Poot’n has invaded Ukraine, but the Ukrainians are fighting back hard and have no f**ks left to give. Europe has stepped up with aid and so has NATO. We are going to have our first female African American SCOTUS Justice, it the GQP can get its head out of its a** long enough to admit she is more qualified than the last 3 they rammed on to the court. Cue the “But maybe she is TOO qualified” chorus to start whining in 3…2…1…
Texas, Floriduh, and Oklahoma, oh and let’s not forget Virginia, are all trying to out do one another for the most regressive and cruel legislation on woman’s reproductive rights, health care for trans children, and education. I can only conclude that they want a beaten down, uneducated populace. No wonder Barker Carlson sings Poot’n’s praises.
sigh….
Let’s have some pandas! Time to spin the random ‘toon archive generator!
This is one of my earliest ‘toons and I dedicate it to James Fallows!“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “The panda kindergaten knows where you live.There…now do you see?Panda reproduction explainedOh, Mr. Bun! Where have you been?
Even though we no longer have any participants in The Panda Season of Love in the US of A, we are still interested observers (Not like THAT!!!) of the season! Here are some ‘toons from the archives celebrating this season of Love amongst the pandas!
I hope people haven’t had enough of silly love songs!it’s the panda, the panda season of love!The Scottish pandas have had a few disappointments…A bear by any other name, would still smell pretty funky.
A panda by any other name, would smell…well, they would just smell…“It was dark….there were men in masks….”Um…pass the beer and poutine, please!
To celebrate the Panda Season of Love, all feltie panda orders (or any other kind of feltie) will come with a complimentary roll of Panda Season of Love Washi tape. Want to see what we have in the way of Felites? Fill in the comment form below and I can send you pictures of available felt creations.
I’m working on a collection I’m almost ready to launch, which are NOT pandas! What could they be? I just need to make a few more and then I will announce them!
Here is a picture of the actual tape! The Panda Season of Love tape is on the bottom. All styles of tape are available for a set of 4 for $18 including US shipping.

I’m hoping to have some new Panda-O-Lympic ‘toons for you this week! We shall see, won’t we?
The 2022 Olympic Games have begun, so while Team Panda ties their skate laces, finds their way to the ski slopes and loads up the front of their Bob-sled..oops…I mean bribe the judges…um…that wasn’t us…
So let’s take a look at the panda performances in past Olympic competitions…
Is that the twins I see before me? Don’t tell Lun Lunanother boring rerunDid the Torch Bears take a wrong turn????but now what will they do when they get to the Olympics?…..stay tuned!Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of this story!Oh, those Torch bears!Hey! watch where you put that torch!
We’ll be back next Sunday with more highlights from the past panda olympics! Stay ‘Tooned!
I rely on my astute readers to alert me to important stories and this one is one of those stories. I mean, if I had made it up, y’all would be doing some serious eye rolling and questioning whether I had lost it.
At a school board meeting in Midland Michigan, a parent complained that she did not think the school should be encouraging students who think they are cats, by putting litter boxes in the (unisex) restrooms. A GOP state legislator posted her outrage on her Facebook page. The school principal was not amused. You can read the story here:
At least they put them in the unisex restrooms so that ANY cat could use them!
In other NooZ, we are VERY excited that the White House has finally fulfilled their most important campaign promise, which is, of course, to put a cat on the payroll! As to that other campaign promise, if you read my Twidder threads, you already know what I think. Oh wait… I can’t keep my mouth shut, which will not go well if the fascists take over. Personally, I think the GOP is afraid that by putting an intelligent, accomplished, COMPETENT, and experienced Black woman on the SCOTUS, she will show how unqualified all of TFG’s appointments are, not to mention the Representatives and Senators that are wetting their pants over the very idea.
And speaking of fascists between the book banning (can burning be far behind?), the nazi rallies, and the completely unreasonable demands on teachers, I am trying really hard to hold on to hope. Boy do I need a nap!
Keep being the Bear (while we can! No litter box for YOU!!!) Bob T Panda
Yes, it’s time for our Panda Olympics team to hit the ground…um…well, hit the ground, anyway! Pandas from around the world will be competing for the GOLD!!!
