A special guest appearance…

Every once in a while, I get a special request from a regular reader (may I say fan?) of The Panda Chronicles, for a special ‘toon. In this case, the D.C. mom of adorable doxies about town, Bella and her little sister Moneypenny, wanted them to appear in a ‘toon. She graciously allowed me to share it here. I hope you enjoy it.

Even pandas need pets!

And look! No politics whatsoebber!

Panda (and puppy) on!

…Pinky in Wonderland! And I bet you were wondering when we’d get back to this, weren’t you? Never fear! We promise we will wrap this up by…um…the end of the year, but you know there have been SO many distractions of late! I do so hate watching the fall of Democracy and the end to Justice for All, you know? It is SOOOOO distracting!

Shall we re-cap our story thus far?

Pinky in Wonderland Episode 1
Pinky in Wonderland Episode 2
Pinky in Wonderland Episode 3
Pinky in Wonderland Episode 4
Pinky in Wonderland Episode 5
Heck…you can find the rest of them yourself.

I’ve always hated when movies do this…

Tune in on Wednesday for the next episode! We will evade reality one way or another!

Panda On!

Hey! I know! Let’s pack the Supreme Court!

What a great idea (no, not really) #45 has, to add a Supreme Court Justice that does not believe a president should be prosecuted while in office. At the time I am writing this, (some weeks in advance), I have no idea what is going to happen with the Kavanaugh nomination, but it is pretty distressing to see the way the R’s are trying to get him confirmed before all the information has been studied. I mean, been made available!

Of course, you should have voted for Pinky!

Wait…did he say “shoot” or “poot”???

One Last Day to Celebrate Pinky and Bubba!

4 Replies

I can hardly believe that birthday week for our most favorite bears is almost over. Rumor has it that Pinky is not having a party this year, because she might, um…have a cuppycake in da oven. Won’t that be interesting? because I have chosen (yes, I do get to choose this) to kind of suspend my pandas in time, on a sliding scale, Having Pinky suddenly become a mum, might be too much for my tortured brain.

Meanwhile, my bout of flu last week seems to be gone, just in time for smoke to fill our skies, thanks to wildfires in Washington, Oregon and Canada. Oh, and there is the little matter of the revelations by 45’s personal (former) attorney, not to mention the conviction of his former campaign manager. Are we watching the news or a rerun of The Sopranos? Really, it’s kind of hard to tell.

So let’s have a few laughs and a cuppycake (or three) with Pinky and Bubba!

Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?

The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.

Just a reminder: repeat after me: this is fiction.

What could be better than a bear and her mouse?

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Could this be Pinky’s future office? Pinky: may i remind you, you should have voted for me!

I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.

And of course, one of my all time favorites…

See? I told you it was broken!

Be careful Ping Ping! The Panda House might not be…um…completely safe.

Ha ha! Oh that Pinky!

Bubba has the right idea…

Be afraid! be very afraid!

It’s really hard not to be. This very week You Know Who dissed Canada and Unka Justin (I mean really???? As If!!!) and after he had such a schmoopy meeting with France’s Macron just a few weeks ago. Allegedly, he needs to ~~go play a few rounds of golf at an exclusive golf club~~ prepare for his meeting with N Korea in Singapore. Auntie Loosilly, lock up the silverware and hide the pandas!

So how are the DC pandas preparing for whatever comes next?

Move over Ping! I’m coming in too!

Tune in again on Wednesday as Pinky gives her new viewpoint on ZooNooZ! and while you’re at it, buy some books!

If Only We Could Forget Reality

7 Replies

Wouldn’t it be nice to forget reality for even one day?

Well, what the heck do you think we were doing on Friday with all those ‘toons of adorable panda twins? I mean, while we were getting all schmoopy when we saw how nice the Meihems are to their little sisters, He Who Must Not Be Named was playing footsie with the head of N. Korea’s cyber warfare department. Probably showing him how clever all his passwords are and how easy it was to avoid the intelligence departments.

And I’m pretty sure he hasn’t forgotten about his military parade…

Do we HAVE to go?

Oh…don’t forget to watch out for those sinkholes…

I Pity the April Fool

4 Replies

So says Bob (Mr) T Panda! It is April Fools Day and Easter Sunday, which makes me think of all sorts of tasteless jokes, which I will just leave to your imaginations.

One of my most memorable April Fool’s Days was during my student years when I was one of the artists at the Artists for the Environment Foundation at the Delaware Water Gap National Park. The director was…um…a bit humorless, so we decided to…shall we say, celebrate the season. We took down all the paintings from the wall and replaced them with freshly gessoed canvases, blocked the drive with our cars, there may have been some vaseline on the doorknob to his office. That memory escapes me. I’m sure we did some other things as well, but fortunately, I have forgotten them. I’m sure the statute of limitations has expired, so no harm, no foul!

Bring on the Chocolate Bunnies and Marhsymallow Peeps!

April Fools Day has always been my favorite holiday

It’s Valentine’s Day Again!

21 Replies

While who wouldn’t love a holiday that’s all about chocolate, I have to admit that Valentine’s Day has never been one of my favorite holiday. It always felt like a day that’s sole purpose is to make single people feel like crap, and even when I was a kid and they had the “everyone must have a card for everyone” rule in school, I only got the obligatory tiny flat “cards” and never one of those elaborate handmade ones that showed you were REALLY loved and valued.

On the other hand, if I’d had a rich and friend filled childhood, I wouldn’t have become an artist and a cartoonist, so it’s a win for everyone. Right? Am I right?

Yeah. Whatebber.

Aw, Pinky…Bubba loves you!

Panda Putti, for all you art history majors! Google it, everyone else!

All Pandas Eve and a Scary Story

12 Replies

I am fortunate to live in the rainy Northwest, rather than fire swept California. My heart and good wishes go out to the thousands of people who have lost their homes and businesses from the fires that spread across northern California last week. Those who have known me for a long time know I have my own fire story, which happened 22 years ago last month. It was a scary event. I don’t know that I ever truly processed what happened, but I was traumatized for a long time.

I recently stumbled on the account of one man’s recent brush with fire in the California disaster. But this account was done in comics form, as he is a graphic novelist/comics artist. Here it is, in case you’d like to take a look. I hope someday I can do as well with my own story.

But meanwhile, we have another kind of scary story to tell!

Ha ha! That Pinky is so clever!

Panda on!

The Pinky Defense

9 Replies

What? Being Pinky means always having to say you’re sorry, but…um…rarely doing it. One of my faithful readers from across the pond (you know who you are!) came up with this phrase and I think I’m going to “borrow” it. (I can credit you by name if you’d like, or you can remain anonymous,) but looking back over the last year’s accumulation of ‘toons, I see that, once again, Pinky has hogged the spotlight. So stay tuned early next year as book 8 of The Panda Chronicles goes to print. and I think I’m gonna call it The Pinky Defense.

Because when you know you are in the wrong, is there any better defense than The Pinky Defense?

“It was just a suggestion” Huzzah! It’s the Meihems!

And did somebody mention Book 8 of the Panda Chronicles? Heh! What better time then now to make sure you have books 1 through 7 in your home library. Visit my book page and make sure your library is complete! And what better present could there be this year (especially this year!!!) than the gift of laughter? I mean besides a huge bag of money so that you could move to Canada or Sweden…

Panda On!
