Sad how much things don’t change when it comes to Mittens. They just get worse.
I sure hope Mittens can’t read my thoughts!Come back soon!
I think this was when they went on their first vacation to Alaska after moving in to the Panda House.
Oddly enough, even in 2026, Mittens STILL hasn’t accepted the results of the 2020 election.
The Shadow Docket, which is still being abused, still kinda scary!
Well, that’s our round up from the archives for this week. And remember, all the bad stuff that’s happening? We told you so! Sigh…maybe things will be better next week!
Be the Bear Bob T why can’t Mittens just go away? Panda
Once again we take a trip through the archives to see what we were doing in previous years this month!
“I’ll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and one of…”
I bet it was Frank and Mikey, who we hadn’t met yet in May of 2018.
And then one more from the animal justice league!
If you go out in the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise!
And wouldn’t ya know…a ‘toon from May 2019 has relevance even today in 2026…
Ping!
I have REALLY got to quit predicting the future…
Who could have done this????
In May of 2020, we were deep into the scariest part of the Covid pandemic…
Wait…we get paid?Nooz Flash: “president” Mittens has tested negative for having any compassion at all.Did Pinky put this on Daddee’s Panda Express card?Cole slaw, anyone?
It’s amazing what you can get from Acme, isn’t it?
Pinky: now where did I leave Daddee’s Panda Express card…
These ‘toons brought to you in preparation for more from Pinky’s twins, Four and Five, and why they are the way they are.
I hope these ‘toons from the archives have brought even a momentary smile to your faces. Remember: Mittens and his minions WANT you to feel bad, forget joy, feel hopeless! Be like Pinky! (MX: well, not exactly like Pinky…) and don’t give up in advance. Remember, it makes them mad when you laugh at them.
It’s Thursday and that means it’s time to take a little dive into the archives and see what we were thinking about during May of years past.
Here we go!
No matter how random I try to be when choosing ‘toons, many of them are extremely relevant to current events:
Really…I’m not!
The aftermath of the Canadian Cubby Caper…
There may be political concussions!
Boycotting The World Cup Games? Maybe International Competition Level Cookie Balancing might be just the thing to replace soccer!
Did I mention I broke the world record in cookie balancing?There are rules here!The roar of the crowd, the smell of a freshly baked cookie…
Did I actually balance cookies? I’ll never tell*
*Yes, I actually did.
I was looking for this ‘toon a little while ago!
Did I just see what I thought I saw?
I hope today’s trip down panda memory lane distracted you from the sh*t show that is going on right now. Hopefully no pandas in China were subjected to visits from F45 or any of his tech bro entourage, particularly The head Wanker at Tesl* and his spawn, Kevlar.
Till we meet again! Be the Bear Bob T I’m not sure how much more of this I can take Panda
See how quickly I pivoted to the Thursday Archive dive, as if this is ALWAYS how we’ve done it.
Ahhhh….what to concentrate on. I think I’ll just share some ‘toons from the month of May through Panda Chronicles history, which oddly enough, is now 15 years long!
Let’s start with the Pandarama!
The pandaramaNever underestimate the power of a good “fart joke”
The panda kindergarten would like to point out they were NO WHERE NEAR NOTRE DAME when it caught fire!
So much for those new navigation systems…or is it “nagagation systems”?I have extra frosting!I really had no idea what she was up to.Are you SURE you wouldn’t like to vote for Bob?
Sigh…it could have all been so different…
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives! Be sure to ‘toon in next week for a *new* ‘toon on Tuesday (New ‘toon Tuesday?) and another fun dive into the archives on Thursday!
Be the Bear Bob T honestly, I’m working hard Panda
Nooz has just been received at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, that Zoo Atlanta has just signed a new contract with the Chengdu Panda Base to bring a new pair of pandas to Pandalanta! The new pandas are Ping Ping (not the one I met at Gengda in 2017, but STILL!!!) and Fu Shuang.
I guess it was a good thing I was too tired last night to set up an archive pandapalooza, because now we have a theme for today’s dive into the archives!
We bring you PANDALANTA PANDAS PAST AND (UP TO) THE PRESENT!
One of the early appearances of The Meihems, before Pinky…um…poofed them
Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.downloadable paper panda upgradeReady for panda kindergarten!
Of course there was some amount of rivalry between Pinky and the Meihems, but sometimes they cooperated on projects…
we are friendly, not ambitious!I love a good art forgery, don’t you?
And around the time Pinky was getting used to having a little brother, a new set of twins was born in Pandalanta…Let’s have a big Panda Chronicles welcome for Six and Sebben!
Panda Trek 2: The Next GenerationThe little gift that keeps on giving!“Why can’t my children be as well behaved as Lun Lun’s,” mused Mei Xiang
Huh…apparently Six and Sebben started out as well behaved, but…
Will these two ever get along?Well, bless her heart! Are you sure that’s a good idea, Mei?
Sisters!
Well, that’s about all the Meihem we have time for today, but we’ll probably share some more Pandalanta stories from the Sun Sun/ Yang Yang dynasty next week! (If you know who hasn’t blown up the planet by then.)
That’s right! it’s Panda Chronicles Outfit Day for Pinky’s young twins, Four and Five! If the conversations in the private Panda Improv chats is anything to go on, they are going to be an even bigger handful that Pinky herself, or, dare I say their names, Six and Sebben!
I’m sure you’ve been anxiously awaiting what the girls are going to wear, so let’s just get right to it, okay?
What do ya think? I think they are just the thing for the active young cubbies.
Be the Bear Bob T Panda is ignoring the nooz Panda
Here are some ‘toons from Aprils past! Have fun then get back to work!
The secret lives of the wild panda!Let the WHAT out of the bag?Lamentations of Luddites lay waste to Linguini. This was way too much fun. :o)Do you smell smoke?Well, bless her heart!
With all the terrible things that F45 is doing out in the real world, we needed a really nice day and we got it on Saturday at the 3200 + worldwide #NoKings events that took place this past Saturday. I was at our local one, and it was rocking by the time I got there. I had to park WAY down the road because there were so many people there.
It wasn’t like the big cities, but one of the interesting things to me is that were about an additional 800 events as compared to the one in October. And there were reports and photos from some rallies being held in very R heavy areas. I find this very encouraging, in a time when not much else is.
Of course, the most important and accurate reporting on the #NoKings rallies comes from…you guessed it…
ZooNooZ!!!!
Red pandas have an anger management problem!
Will we survive until the tide turns against Mittens? I don’t know, but I’m gonna keep fighting. As long as we have pandas on our side, how can we fail?
The 2016 primaries were well underway. F45 had not yet become the GOP nominee. Hillary and Bernie were slugging it out. We did not entirely realize the abyss that loomed before us. The worst possibility, we naively thought, was yet another Bush in the WH.
Innocent times… Bubba was making his public debut, Mittens was oozing towards transforming politics for the worse.
Let’s see what was in the archives in the early months of 2016…
See? I told you it was broken!
Remember when the only points of tension between us and Our Neighbor to the North was when Pinky “borrowed” the twins from Toronto?
Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?There may be political concussions!
And then there were the debates…
“You are all Losers!” – Mittens the CatPinky is beginning to look positively presidential!“This is not a loser tail!!!!!”Poof!
It is really a sad state of affairs to see how relevant these ‘toons are, and how much worse things have gotten 10 years in, even with the 4 year respite under Biden. I can’t believe we are now in a pointless, destructive war, with so many civilian casualties already, and surely more to come.
I hope these ‘toons take you out of the madness for a little while. If only Pinky really COULD Poof Mittens…
Be the Bear! Bob T hanging in there as best I can Panda
It’s good for nothing. That’s what. well, at least ICE Barbie got smacked down, although they gave her a consolation job (“I wanna keep my plaaaaaaane!!!”)
Meanwhile…
My need to be outside bludgeoning nature into submission has cut into my ‘tooning time, so it’s another trip to the archives to try to cheer ourselves up!
…and due to the International women’s day strike of 2017What a perfectly charming cottage! I wonder who lives there…In a cabin in the woods…These guys are so full of themselves!unhand…um…unpaw that cuppycake!…and she ate the just right cuppycake all up!unauthorized search and seizure is SOOOO tiring!UNHAND MR. BUN THIS INSTANT!Is this episode exciting? you bet it is!The discovery of the terrible crime in the pandas’ house…And now, for some alternative facts!Pandas are very misunderstood, in so many ways….What a lovely day for the 3 pandas to relax at home!
Can you guess what happened between episode 12 and the finale?
It never ceases to amaze me, how I can dip into the archives on a random date from 9 years ago, and find something relevant to the current nooz. The good nooz for today, is that ICE Barbie has been fired from running the entire DHS, although she appears to have received a consolation appointment.
Of course no matter how much hot sauce or honey you used, none of the current regime criminals would be very tasty.
Be the Bear Bob T I am definitely not eating THAT, Panda
