I have not done a Year in Review post yet, and as such, I think I’ll do it now! You’ll be happy to know that I am finally spring into action (when I am not stress napping or having weird dreams about not being able to write my name on a piece of paper) and gathering my ‘toons and organizing them to do not one, but TWO books! Having flaked out on creating any new books for the last 3 years, I have enough ‘toons to make two bigger than normal books.
I decided that one of them will be mostly political ‘toons, and while the other is not entirely devoid of politics (because 2016-2020), it leans more toward panda-ish subjects and will contain all the longer stories I wrote in the last several years.
But now! On with the Year in Review!!!
January
The year started off with impeachment and plenty of hypocrisy to go around!
February
ZooNooZ continues to get all the top notch interviews! Look out Rachel Maddow!
March
Meet Ruth Panda Ginsbear, who joined the rest of the felty pandas!
The Notorious RPG
April
The pandemic lockdown begins…a few months too late.
May
Pinky does her part to help supply masks for everyone. SOMEBODY has to be the boss!
June
With the country in lockdown (well, parts of it anyway) wild animals return in force to the National Parks!
July
When you can’t make fun of politics via panda satire, the terrorists have won. We try to do our part!
August
In August, a dear friend of pandas passed away unexpectedly. She loved pandas and NASCAR, so this was the first in a 3 part tribute to her memory. We sure miss you over at Twitter, Jayelle.
September
Frank and Mikey got their own talk show in 2020!
October
With a new baby cubby at the Panda House, Mei decided to hire a nanny! Welcome to Beary Poppins!
November
Bikkie has a name and gets his outfit!
December
uh oh. Generally speaking, grizzly bears do not make good nannies.
Well, that was our year in review! If you want to read the entirety of each story, just look for the archive tab on the right side of the home page so you can read the entire story! (Or you can wait and buy the books!)
Pandaing on into (we hope) a better year,
