Oops! Another week where I was too busy gallivanting around to get Tuesday’s ‘toon done, but never fear. I would not leave you without some entertainment! For your consideration, I have dug into to the archives to share some ‘toons from…the Pinky Zone!
He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!oops.Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?Never say “No” to a Pinky!I love a good art forgery, don’t you?
“How does you spell ‘hostage’?” hee hee hee!
Baby Pinky is kind of my favorite! I hope this will bring a smile to your face until we figure out what we’re doing on Thursday!
Be the Bear, Bob T it’s not like there is anything else going on, is there? Panda
It’s another one of those weeks that has too much too do and not enough time to do everything that needs doing, so I’m going to blindfold myself and stick my hand into the old archives and see what I can find. Maybe I’ll have a new ‘toon for Thursday, maybe not. Definitely for next week, though!
I think we need something that will make us laugh, something to take our minds of that power mad mongrel that would be king.
Maybe something about another power hungry character….
I really had no idea what she was up to.See? I told you it was broken!Bubba: but why should I be in trubble?Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?
And just to remind you, we knew 9 years ago how terrible it would be if You Know Who was ever elected even the FIRST time!!!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
We are afraid. Honest. Pinky: you should have voted for me.
As government employees, Binky Li and Qing Bao are not exempt from the requirement to send an email to e-loon, listing 5 things they have accomplished this week. I think you’ll agree that they are accomplishing much more important things than anyone from The Department of Grift and Extortion.
It remains to be seen whether what can be broken so quickly will be able to be repaired in my lifetime.
Always choose the bears.
Thank goodness Ping is there to guide our young pandas through the challenges of life in DC.
Be the Bear and Panda on Bob T hanging in there for the moment Panda
It really does seem like the true aim of Mittens 2.0 is the destruction of the government, the rule of law, and everything that could possibly bring joy, comfort, or sustenance to the American People.
But it is up to us to preserve what joy and purpose we have in this life and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to go down swinging.
So here’s to the JOY that pandas bring! Here’s to finding humor in a very not funny situation! Here’s to laughing at these oh so serious morons that are doing their “best” to ruin our lives!
Once again the day got away from me, so enjoy this bonus edition of gems from the archive. Offerings from Februarys past…
We have the very best facts
I *may* have attended a small but sincere protest gathering in Langley yesterday.
In fact, not only was as bad as we thought it would be, it was worse.
And 2025 version 2.0 of the F45 regime is worse still.
Unka Rusty has some seriously feisty opinions!
The Red Panda resistance will not be denied!
Do I smell smoke?Buh Buh Buh Buh BYE!!!!
Alas…
What’s a day without a visit from Pinky? (or Six and Sebben?)
Let’s face it. Things are getting really bad and they are going to get worse. Oh crap, I was trying not to say that, but it just slipped out. I’ll be back on Thursday, with the finished ‘toon I thought I’d get done today. Best laid plans and all.
If you need a really good laugh, please enjoy this SNL skit with some really star talent being as funny and raunchy as you could not believe. Woody Harrelson trying to keep from busting out laughing is priceless.
Be the Bear Bob T hoping democracy is not over Panda
And not a moment too soon. The first week of felon in Chief’s 2nd Reign of Terrorism was pretty rough and I wish I had more hope that the forces of compassion and fairness will prevail.
But we will do what we can, when we can. It’s okay to take a break (and watch the panda cam!) when you need to. Even small things have impact. I have my US Senator’s and House rep bookmarked, so I can easily send an email. Some people like to make phone calls. There are scripts out there to make it easier, but I kind have developed phone phobia, so emails are my drug of choice. My favorite source for actions is Chop Wood, Carry Water on Substack. Even one email a week will add up.
Okay, Enough serious stuff. Let’s check in on the new Panda Cam!
I guess the new panda cam hours of operation are going to take some getting used to.
Be the Bear Bob T is it “panda cam” or “Pandacam” Panda
Once again, I have not gotten the ‘toon for today done, but it will be ready for Tuesday. As is now my new practice, when other work (or excessive naps) gets in the way of me finishing the days ‘toon in time to get it posted, I will dive into the archives and find a few relevant ‘toons to bridge the gap till next time.
And boy do we have relevant ‘toons!
Since HWMNBN (aka F45*) is about to lie about upholding the oath to the Constitution again, I thought I’d share a few ‘toons from January of 2017. It’s gonna be a rough ride ahead. We can’t afford to check out entirely (as much as I would like to,) but we do need to be gentle with ourselves and engage in things that make us happy. I worked most of the day in my studio, and then got close to an hour in my garden before it started getting dark around 5. This is definitely an improvement over getting dark at 3:30.
So, without further ado, let’s ride the armored car down memory lane, as we remember Mitten’s first reign of terror!
Can I open my eyes yet?Whats a protest without pandas?Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!
Just a reminder to turn off your TV and internet on Monday, the 20th, to protest F45’s return to the WH. Nothing will piss him off more than seeing the terrible TV ratings, and to have the streets practically empty.
Are all these paper clips mine?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. But I hope the following photograph from the 2017 Women’s March held in Langley gives you a bit of hope. Despite the fact that many people (I think there were 4 buses full) went into Seattle for the much bigger march, lots of people came out on that sunny Saturday to stand against F45.
*F45 stands for Felon 45
Women’s March, Langley edition! There were many more people already around the corner, and more behind us. Let’s capture some of that hope for our future. We can at least go down swinging.
Many of you guessed who Pinky’s visitors were. If you didn’t guess from the knocking and doorbell, you need some remedial Panda Chronicles reading. Go ahead…do it now, I’ll wait…
Just kidding!
Yep! SIX AN’ SEBBEN ARE IN DA HOUSE!!!!
On a more serious note, My heart goes out to all those in or with family in L.A. Fire is devastating…no way around that. Those of you who (like me) have lived through a house fire, knows how life shattering it is, sometimes literally. But I can’t imagine the magnitude of this fire. I hope the death toll is not as high as the Paradise fire. But these big fires… there is no way anyone can imagine this.
There was some good news today: the Supremes declined to let Felon45 off the hook as regards his sentencing in the Manhattan business fraud case. And the 11th circuit says the report from Jack Smith can be released. We will hope that the purloined documents/espionage case report will be released soon too.
I hope you all are safe and well Keep panda-ing on Bob T 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!
As they say in the funny papers, see ya next year!
Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!
Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…Bikkie has a name!!!!Once upon a time…Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz ClimoI think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!It wasn’t me!A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!Let’s go fly a kite…uh oh.I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!Silly old bears!
Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!
Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.
Be the Beary Brave Bears Bob T I am a Swifty Panda
