As I finish up my work for my upcoming show, I find I need to lean on the archives a little bit more. Of course that means you get a BUNCH of ‘toons instead of just one, so not all bad!
Let’s see what bubbles to the surface…
sigh…if only…
Didn’t anyone tell Pinky if you have to cheat, you’re not winning? Hmm…
Can you blame him? Who doesn’t love ice cream?
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives!
Be the Bear!
Bob T pass the ice cream Panda
Sad how much things don’t change when it comes to Mittens. They just get worse.
I think this was when they went on their first vacation to Alaska after moving in to the Panda House.
Oddly enough, even in 2026, Mittens STILL hasn’t accepted the results of the 2020 election.
The Shadow Docket, which is still being abused, still kinda scary!
Well, that’s our round up from the archives for this week. And remember, all the bad stuff that’s happening? We told you so! Sigh…maybe things will be better next week!

Bob T why can’t Mittens just go away? Panda
The 2016 primaries were well underway. F45 had not yet become the GOP nominee. Hillary and Bernie were slugging it out. We did not entirely realize the abyss that loomed before us. The worst possibility, we naively thought, was yet another Bush in the WH.
Innocent times… Bubba was making his public debut, Mittens was oozing towards transforming politics for the worse.
Remember when the only points of tension between us and Our Neighbor to the North was when Pinky “borrowed” the twins from Toronto?
And then there were the debates…
It is really a sad state of affairs to see how relevant these ‘toons are, and how much worse things have gotten 10 years in, even with the 4 year respite under Biden. I can’t believe we are now in a pointless, destructive war, with so many civilian casualties already, and surely more to come.
I hope these ‘toons take you out of the madness for a little while. If only Pinky really COULD Poof Mittens…
Be the Bear!
Bob T hanging in there as best I can Panda
Well, I got all involved in a printmaking project and so did not finish today’s planned ‘toon, but we have a choice selection of ‘toons from Mittens first reign of terror that are sufficient unto the day, whatever the means!
It is a sad state of affairs that these ‘toons are both relevant and not as bad as things are now. I hope you are able to hold things together and keep voicing your truth. I am trying and sometimes am even successful.
Be the bear!
Bob T what is the sound of one paw clapping Panda
There is so much clownf**kery going on right now, it’s hard to know exactly what Mittens is trying to distract us from. Is he using the ICE invasions and murders in Minneapolis to distract us from making a fool of himself and the USA on the world stage in Davos, or is trying to acquire Greenland by means foul or fouler meant to distract us from whatever incriminating evidence might be in the Epstein files?
It’s all too much of a muchness.
Meanwhile is Bearanice’s sojourn to see Josie — who just happens to live in the nation’s Capitol — an innocent visit from a childhood chum, or is it something much more sinister?
Could Bearanice really be an agent provocateur?
Be the mysterious bear
Bob T I have no idea what’s going on Panda
So many things coming at us from all angles! And what could be more fun than a bear in a candy shop?
Did you take our little quiz?
Do you want some more options than I had room for on the ‘toon?
How about:
1. Mittens got so mad that the pilot wouldn’t agree to bomb France on the way to Davos, that the pilot said, “Okay! I’m turning the plane around right now if you can’t behave!”
2. The “electrical” problem was one of those “lights on, no one’s home” kind of things
3. Stephen Miller’s coffin latch got stuck and he couldn’t get out when it was time to feed.
4. All the couches on the plane refused to have JD sit on them, and they kept ejecting him.
I could go on…but you probably are wishing I would get on with it and post today’s ‘toon!
So there ya go!
Bee the Bear
Bob T now I’m REALLY mad Panda
This has not been a great day, woke up with a headache. Not the headache in DC, this one a bit more localized. So I’m going to dive into the archives for some ‘toons from Septembers past!
Our humble beginnings!
And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…
somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?
Sigh….He is back and we wish he would leave.
Well, that’s our dive into the archives for today! I’ll try to track down Frank and Mikey and see where they are on their trip to Brooks Falls for the 2025 Fat Bear Contest! Life is a laugh a minute, is it not?
Be the Bear
Bob T this is why we can’t have nice things Panda
Yes, I am working on more ‘toons about PING-GATE (Thank you Aunty Loosilla!) but it’s another busy week, with delivering art work to Seattle on the agenda, so here are some relevant ‘toons from the archives.
Mittens finally has a corrupt enough cabinet to give him the green light for his big boy military parade, but this is not the first time he asked for it…
A bear can dream…
In 2020, the National Parks were shut down because of the pandemic. Now, there is a more sinister plan at work. The parks have been decimated by the firing of park personnel, and so now they are going to try to sell off OUR public lands.
It was better when the animals took over.

Bob T can I have another Bootini? Panda
It’s that time of year, when we look back on all that has happened in the previous 12 months. Quite frankly, other than the goings on of The Panda Chronicles, I don’t want to remember any of it, and I bet you don’t either. I did a little year in review in panda ‘toons over at my Substack page. I hope you’ll hop over and read it.
So now…where are we? The DC Pandas we have followed for so long have moved encases to China. I know that’s not how it happens in real life, but that’s how it happens here. I’m still getting to know the next generation of pandas that have moved to DC and Pandiego, so they are easing into the ‘toons here. Still no word about whether new pandas will move to Pandalanta.
Ping, Frank and Mikey, Josie, and Pookie have stayed in DC to welcome Binky Li and his girlfriend, QB and show them around the panda house.
We don’t know what is going to happen here and in the world. I’m taking one day at a time, but I don’t mind telling you, I’m kinda nervous about what Felon 45 has in store for us. We are going to try our best to keep Mittens off the ZooNooZ set.
Good thing Momma Mei left the coca pitcher for Josie!
Be the bear

For some reason I didn’t finish today’s ‘toon in time, but I’m on it. Maybe tomorrow?
Honestly, I thought we would not be here again. I am so sad, so angry, so scared, for me and for people I care about. I seriously thought this would not, could not happen. We thought there could not be such a bat shit crazy campaign again by Mittens, against an inspiring, energetic campaign by Kamala Harris. I am afraid for the future of this country, as well as the rest of the world. I’ll be here as long as I still have the resources to keep going.
Yours in Pandas Always
Bob T not another reign of terror Panda
