Another International Incident Narrowly Averted

Never underestimate the diplomatic value of hot cocoa (with liddle marshymallows) and cookies!

I’m guessing everyone involved (except for the First Lady) will be grounded.

A reminder that my pontificating can be found over on my new Substack NoozLetter. Feel free to subscribe as a free or paid subscriber. Both are welcome! Also, I am making progress on my new book! Hopefully by next week I’ll be ready to do a cover reveal and have a little more accurate estimate of when it will be available.

Till then…

Bob T I’m tired of winter Panda

What goes up…More spy balloon nonsense

It was nice of whoever is continuing to float UFOs around the sky so that my ‘toon series would be relevant. Was this a spy balloon, or just a wayward panda cubby?

You be the judge!

You had ONE JOB, Beary Poppins!

Hee Hee!

Be the Bear
Bob T I told you nothing bad would happen Panda

You get a classified document, and YOU get a classified document…

It was inevitable that it would come to this…

I could have a cookie!

I mean…what with them finding classified documents at just about every former official’s house, it was only a matter of time before they came looking for what Pinky might have! I’m sure they will be taken in by her “innocent Pinky” look!

Be the Bear!
Bob T don’t look in my closet Panda

Deliver De Letter…

Pookie got a letter! Fan mail from some Flounder?

Bears will be bears!

This is rather off the subject of pandas and other bears, but I know some of the readers of the Panda Chronicles have from time to time tried their hand at making some art. I wanted to give those folks (and others who like to get a glimpse into the artists process) a heads up. My good friend in real life David Daniels is doing a Zoom demonstration through Daniel Smith’s Art Supply. You can also watch it on Facebook live HERE.

This will take place on Friday, January 27th at 1:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Dave is a brilliant painter, a kind, funny, and experienced teacher. He lives in the DC area (I made him go with me to see the pandas once or twice, notably when Mei was sequestered with tiny baby Pinky and we watched them on the panda cam in a restaurant. I never did hear the end of that. But I digress.

This is a great opportunity to see Dave in action, in case you were thinking it might be fun to take some painting classes, either in person or on Zoom.

Meanwhile over at Substack…

I shared my annual tribute to Mehitabel, gone from my couch, but never from my heart, and definitely not from art and The ZooNooZ Nooz desk at Panda Chronicles Headquarters. I hope you’ll check it out!

Be the Bear,
Bob T I really am a panda Panda

A Pouty Pinky Ponders…

Will she or won’t she? A decision best made with cocoa!

don’t steal Pinky’s ideas!!!!

Also posting tonight, my annual remembrance of Mehitabel, over on my Substack thingie!

Panda on!
Bob T I coulda been a contender Panda

There is Only One True Mr. Bun

Pinky has a point, but it’s probably not the one she thinks it is.

Uh oh… did someone poof in?

Can we hope this year is not as bad as last year? Yeah…we can hope…

Catch up with Lunar New Years (with the Pandy Kindy) past over at my Substack! Celebrate Lunar New Year with the Panda Kindergarten! What could possibly go wrong? 

Be the Bear!
Bob T nobody expects the panda kindergarten Panda

It’s almost Lunar New Year Time, and you know what THAT means!

It means Pinky thinks she is right about something!

And now Frank and Mikey will be ready for Easter Bunny duty!

It must be about 12 years (more or less) since I started posting Panda Satire online. Here is the original Year of the Bun ‘toon for those who have joined later.

The year of the bunny…..
Oh that panda kindergarten!

Those pandas are such jokers!

Be the Bear!
Bob T quick like a bunny Panda

Will this be the last time Mommee Mei tries to get Pinky to improve herself?

Unlikely…

She’s only letting Pinky THINK she is giving up trying to reform Pinky. Mommee Mei is relentless…kind of like Pinky.

Be the Bear
Bob T tomorrow is another day Panda
