I guess Mommee Mei decided it was pointless to give Pinky any resolutions this year…or maybe, she is planning to surprise her at a date TBA later…
Does anyone have a guess?

Bob T 13 days till the apocalypse Panda
Here we are! Hi Hi Hi Hi!
Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!
Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.
Be the Beary Brave Bears
Bob T I am a Swifty Panda
I’m trying to ease back a bit and enjoy the quiet of the season and get ready to welcome back some light into our lives.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Like THAT’S gonna happen.
Anyway, I’m gonna do this Encore Presentation in two chunks, for Thursday and Friday this week, then next week (hopefully, ha ha!) back to my regular schedule. Or as regular as things can be, all things considered. anyway, if you want to revisit one of my other holiday classics, (Pinky: starring ME! da only icon you will ebber need!) I did an Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol over on the Substck thingie.
Well that’s it for today! I’m so glad you’re here with me! ‘Toon in TOMORROW for the final installment of Beary Poppins!

Bob T is trying to be a brave Panda
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.
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!!!
feel free to sing along.
I can’t hear anyone singing…..

Bob T I’m writing my resolutions Panda
Maybe we’ll have an encore presentation of Beary Poppins later this week!
I’m afraid once again, I have failed to finish the ‘toon planned for today on time (where DOES the time go?) so instead, we will have a re-broadcast, an Encore Presentation, if you will, of one of my favorite Holiday Classics!
Starring the one, the only, the magnificent, Mr. Wu!
I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of It’s a WUnderful Life as much as I did! Stay ‘tooned next week for our regularly scheduled ‘toon plus more holiday classics!

Bob T Not obeying in advance Panda
I was inspired by one of my favorite ‘toonists on the inter webs, John Atkinson of Wrong Hands comics. His recent ‘toon on a Christmas movie generator made me think, “I bet I can do this for Panda Satire.”
Have fun with making your own ‘toon plots. Feel free to share in the comments and on the socials!
Be sure to share your ‘toon plots!

Bob T who knew it was this easy? Panda
Somehow, despite scheduling yesterday’s post in advance, the internet gremlins (Six and Sebben? Mebbee!) somehow got a hold of my site and made it go off into cyber land.
Oh sure, you say. We think you didn’t have the post ready and this is just another version of the dog ate my homework.
Sorry to worry you all. We need Bikkie and Pookie now more than ever!
Be the Bear
Bob T I know nothing about how all this works Panda
A huge thanks to my website host/guru Nate Hoffelder. Need a website? hosting? Can recommend with a 5 cuppycake rating.
And reader, her reaction is about what you would expect it to be.
Every once in a while I have a tiny bit of trouble figuring out what the exit line of a ‘toon should be. And sometimes when that happens, a little voice comes down from the universe and tells me what it should be, and sometimes, someone writes a comment, which turns out to be the perfect line, and I appropriate it.
Which is what happened with today’s toon. So thanks, Jeannie!
We are going to need a REALLY big flyswatter.
Panda Solidarity Forebber
Bob T is under the bed Panda
I’m not sure I am.
While my production goals are somewhat inconsistent these days, here’s what I’m gonna do: When I don’t get new toons done for either Tuesday or Thursday (or both!) I’ll post something that makes me happy from the archives, usually more than one ‘toon, so that’s kind of a bonus, right?
But today, I have the continuation of last Tuesday’s ‘toon, before the awful thing happened.
Huzzah?
Do you think Pinky is going to react well to the NooZ?
Hold your pandas close,
Bob T somehow we will get through this Panda
Well, this is it. Today is the last day to vote, so I am posting this early so that more people see this. I’m writing this on Monday night (because I actually got today’s ‘toon done before dinner time.)
We had quite the windstorm on Monday, which started sometime in the night. Then it died down for a couple hours before it picked up again from another direction. The power went out for a bit, but it came back on again after a couple of hours at the most, so I didn’t have to put my usual outage tricks into effect. (also I was able to post this!)
Now to distract myself from the day ahead I listening to Taylor Swift (yes really) and switching off to occasionally to the SNL cold open with Kamala Harris and Maya Rudolph. If you haven’t watched this yet, I hope you will. Each time I watch it, I am struck all over again by watching the true joy between Harris and Rudolph… The roar of the crowd when they see Kamala on the other side of the mirror. I mean…I realize it couldn’t have been a total surprise to the audience or crew. I read there had been a few hints. The audience must have had to go through extra security. There must have been a bunch of Secret Service folks. Still, it could have been cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. Each time I watch it (not gonna tell you how many times) I feel the joy radiating off the screen. I hear it in the roar of the crowd that pauses the interaction between Harris and Rudolph.
I don’t know what we are going to wake up to on Wednesday, but the choice seems clear, has always seemed clear to me. Do we want a leader who will cheerfully do the hard work that needs to be done to try to get the country and the world in a better place? Or do we want a mentally and physically collapsing would be dictator who will bring in unprincipled grifters and con men to be his advisors, who are using him for their own purposes? Watch any of his appearances from the last week and tell me that this is someone you would trust the future of your children and grandchildren to.
Please vote for a better future, if you haven’t already. Do it for the pandas.
As you might remember, the whole panda family has moved to China, so that Binky Li and Qing Bao could move to the Panda House. I’m not sure where this story is going, but I’m sure it’s going somewhere.
Stay ‘tooned, keep Kamala and carry on-a-la
Fa la la la la!

BobT wake me when it’s over Panda
