I guess I didn’t finish the new ‘toon I promised you for today (something something, root canal, something something something, disaster of an election, something something something, downfall of democracy, yada yada yada.
But here’s something MUCH BETTER!!!!
I was going to give you all a break this year, and not re-run The Twelve Days of Crispmoss, but by popular demand (okay, one person) we return with this holiday classic!!!
Everyone sing along!
feel free to sing along.
I can’t hear anyone singing…..
I swear, I had nothing to do with Pinky’s let night sit in.
four pandas sneaking…

And…
Everybody sing!
Are you happy now?
Be the Bear
Bob T I’m writing my resolutions Panda
Maybe we’ll have an encore presentation of Beary Poppins later this week!
I wrote this a couple weeks ago, and one thing and another jumped up and down and yelled “I’m more important! NO! I am” and so I finally got this one done.
There will be a bit of a rant after this ‘toon, so feel free to skip that if you are tired of me ranting! I am still a wreck, and I suspect many of you are too, so let’s just get to those fun-loving pandas!
Cheating is definitely not winning.
Be the Bear and Panda On Bob T stress napping for the next 5 days Panda
So here goes my rant:
I seriously can not figure out how anyone with a brain could possibly consider voting for TFG. He is visibly deteriorating every time he is on camera, and we have no idea what is going on when he is not on camera. At this point it is clear he is being used by the extreme wing of the Heritage Foundation/GQP because he is (inexplicably) popular with his rabid base. At this point it is clear that the goal is to get him elected, either pull his puppet strings or replace him with JD, who seems to be full on board with a live action version of The Handmaids’ Tale/Hunger Games.
And can we talk about Pastor Mike’s plan to toss out the Affordable Care Act? Were it not for the ACA, I would have been without healthcare from about 2010 till I was eligible for Medicare (which they also want to get rid of, along with Social Security.) In a recorded conclave with big GOP donors, he talked about the affront of having the government get between you and your healthcare.
I’ll wait while you consider that statement from Pastor M…
Yeah…the party who allows women to die of sepsis/blood loss in the parking lot when they have miscarried rather than let her determine with her doctor that she needs an abortion to save her life, is concerned about the government sliding into your doctors office.
Every time I watch Kamala Harris and the people who support her (Michelle! Beyonce!) I feel a flood of hope for the possibility of being governed by adults. I can’t listen to any more news about polls or the horse race the major media seems to want to keep talking about. I can only worry so much about TFG and Pastor Mike’s BIG SECRET for that One Great trick That Big Democrats Don’t Want You To Know About to Overthrow Democracy and trust that Marc Elias and all his clever lawyers will protect us from such fuckery.
I know everyone who is still here with me is the choir I am preaching to and believe me, I am so glad you are here and understand the assignment: To vote for Kamala and all the D’s on the ballot. Big shout out to all of you in Ohio (Sherrod Brown!!!) and those in swing states who have to listen to all the hyperbolic political ads non-stop.
Thank you who have chosen hope over retribution. I’m so glad we are here together.
5 more days!
as a reward for listening to me rant, here’s our favorite seasonal ‘toon!
Fabulous Furry Friday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites!
Maybe I couldn’t get my heart into Bikkie and Mister Poppee’s latest adventure story, or maybe the potential implosion of democracy has me too nervous to concentrate, but, at least for the time being, I have brought Pookie, Bikkie, and Mister Poppee home to face to Mommee music.
Needless to say, it did not go particularly well.
Of course they are all grounded. Pinky: even me? I didn’t have anyfing to do wif dis! Mei Xiang: especially you!
Meanwhile out in the real world, Bal’mer Bridges falling down, TFG mouthing off to the (various) judges and prosecutors, Ronna McRomney finding a job then losing it again, (and rightly so: How can a nooz organization hire a KNOWN prevaricator, who will say whateverwhoever is paying her to say it?) , and we are trying to keep one step ahead of the blackberries here at the headquarters for The Panda Chronicles!
I hope your week is off to a better start than Mitten’s is!
One of my intentions for this year, is to not stress myself out if from time to time I don’t get a second ‘toon done for my regular schedule. This is one of those days.
Fortunately, I have an excellent blast from the past for you! I have been doing these ‘toons long enough that we have reached another Year of the Dragon in the Lunar New Year calendar! Even before Pinky made her first appearance here, the Panda Kindergarten was chewing up the scenery (sometimes literally!)
Please enjoy the Panda Kindergarten’s Salute to The Year of the Dragon!
Huzzah! it’s the year of the Dragon!What do you mean by “was?”
It’s gonna be a hot one! Don’t forget to visit my Substack for the final installment of my 2023 Year in Review!
The weekend got away from me, and I have a full plate this week, but even though I don’t have a new addition to our story in progress, I didn’t want to leave you panda-less!
Enjoy these holiday classics!
“why do I always get so kerfuffled when it comes to decorating for the holidays?”sweet!Schmoop!The Frank and Mikey burning 2020 dumpster Diorama! Complete with artfully hand stenciled habitat and burning marshmallows!
I hope you enjoyed these holiday encore presentations!
I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Halloween ‘toons from over the years, as today’s post coincides with Halloween!
Trick or Trick!!!!!!!Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!This is from 2019 and unfortunately still somewhat relevant
I hope you are enjoying the October Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu over on Substack! I thought that, for the sake of being less confusing, I would have our annual re-broadcast of A Halloween Carol right here!
Get out your poppy-corn, put your feetsies up and enjoy the show!
Bubba’s first feature role!you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?Hey! who said Wu could poof things?One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?
Uh oh! Has Pinky’s crimes of the past come back to haunt her? ‘Toon in next time for the exciting conclusion of A Halloween Carol! And don’t forget to check out The Wizard of Wu over on Substack!
Ever since I discovered that Mei Xiang and Lun Lun were half sisters, it opened up all sorts of story lines in the pandasphere. I know Aunty Mei loves her little nieces to death, bless their hearts!
If, like me, you are avoiding all mention of the debt ceiling hoo haa, there is no better distraction than pandas! Turn on the Panda Cam for the 245 hour a day loop!
