For some reason I didn’t finish today’s ‘toon in time, but I’m on it. Maybe tomorrow?
The Power of the PoofRemember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.Not even CUPPYCAKES????
Honestly, I thought we would not be here again. I am so sad, so angry, so scared, for me and for people I care about. I seriously thought this would not, could not happen. We thought there could not be such a bat shit crazy campaign again by Mittens, against an inspiring, energetic campaign by Kamala Harris. I am afraid for the future of this country, as well as the rest of the world. I’ll be here as long as I still have the resources to keep going.
Yours in Pandas Always Bob T not another reign of terror Panda
We can’t rely on Pinky and her magical wand to get us out of this.
The one thing we don’t want is for the “Biden steps down — Democrats lose” to become a self fulfilling prophecy. It would be good to let your Senators and House rep know your opinion on this. Feel free to use or modify my text shown below, that I am sending to my representatives today. You can call their offices if you’d like, but most offices have a contact form you can use. Let’s flood our reps with the opinion that the most important thing is to defeat Trump and stave off Project 2025 and the Trump dictatorship.
This is most useful if you have Democratic Party reps, but it wouldn’t be amiss to send to Republican representatives as well. You can copy and paste my text if you’d like.
Message to Senators/ Representative:
I believe that President Biden is the most capable person to decide whether or not he has the will and the energy to see this election through. He has been an excellent president, passing many initiatives that benefit a wide swath of the American people.
I believe him when he says he has the stamina to both run and defeat the former president. He has an excellent Vice President in Kamala Harris, as well as a very capable cabinet. He has more he would like to accomplish on our behalf and I think that constantly questioning whether that is the case is harmful to our prospects in November.
One bad debate should not be the beginning of the end for the American experiment. The former president at the most benign interpretation would bring in a regressive era with the loss of many rights and personal autonomy.
I believe President Biden is the best president I have seen in the 12 presidents of my lifetime. Please stand by him and let him finish the job.

On the twelfth day of Crisp-Moss, My Panda cam Did See….MX: no, Pinky, you may NOT have a Bamboo-tini!I can’t hear you….F-F-F-FI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-VE Cuppycaaaaaaakes!whew!Everybody sing!
Well, here we are, heading into the final days of the year. We have passed the solstice and the sunlight will be creeping back, a few seconds longer each day. It has been my privilege and joy to share these ‘toons with you. I kind of hoped we would be out of the pandemic days (not to mention the political nightmare we still can’t wake from) but here we are. (and here we are again!)
I hope these panda ‘toons have helped you get through whatever form your year has taken, and I plan to continue writing and drawing these ‘toons and sharing them with you.
Stay strong, stay safe, be kind, and don’t take any crap from the forces of darkness!
I hope you are able to safely gather with the people (and bears) you care about the most this holiday season, whatever you do or don’t celebrate! Save me some pie!
The ghosts of Halloween present and Halloween future have entered the building! The tension m mounts! Will Pinky finally see the error of her ways? (Pinky: as if!!!!)
Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…Was that list in small type, single spaced?
More Pouty Pinky!
The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?
We hope you enjoyed this year’s Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol. If you haven’t yet seen The Wizard of Wu, you can find it on our Substack Nooz channel!
One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.
Who can the ghost of Halloween Present possibly be? ‘Toon in next time for our fabulous Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol!
And don’t forget to head over to Substack for our annual Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu, in 3 parts!
Be the Bear Bob T I was never as bad as Pinky Panda
It’s panda birthday season for all pandas, but especially for the US born pandas!
And to start out the season, Happy 9th Birthday to the Meihems!!!
Born on July 15th of 2013, more than a month before Pinky, and don’t think they ever let her forget it! Here are some of my favorite ‘toons featuring Bert and Ernie (and probably Pinky, just because!) Can you believe the Meihems and Pinky are about to turn 9?!?!?!?!
This was before we knew that the Meihems and Po were girls!
And then this happened…
Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.Ready for panda kindergarten!I love a good art forgery, don’t you?There must be cake!
Happy Birthday, Meihems! And a reminder, the book about the real life Meihems written by Beth Bacon and illustrated by yours truly is available for pre-order through Amazon and maybe even your local book store! (Not sure about distribution yet). Order your copy of The Panda Cub Swap today!
Rumor has it that there was a large flash of light over the continent of Australiayesterday, as people headed to the polls to vote in their elections. We can neither conform, nor deny that Pinky and PPJ had anything to do with the outcome. After all, magical wands are prohibited within 50 feet of a polling station.
Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.Never say “No” to a Pinky!The Power of the Poof
What have we got to lose? Everything. That’s what. It’s not too early to check your voter registration (primaries are happening, y’all!) and make a plan to vote. Remind your friends to vote too.
Some weeks I have a time to expound upon, and then I look for archived ‘toons that illuminate that theme. Other weeks I have no idea what I’m thinking of and then I just have to spin the wheel and see what pops up.
One thing you can be sure of, it’s likely that Pinky will be involved!
On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….
Well…no Pinky in that one! let’s try again!
Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!And what better talk show is there, than Mehitabel Tonite!?I really had no idea what she was up to.Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!
Well as Pinky all says, you can never have enough ‘toons about Pinky!
Yesterday one of my pandemic ‘toons popped up in someone’s time line, so I thought I would revisit the pandas experience of the Panda-demic.
It’s nothing that a little cocoa can’t fix!You can’t get more socially distant than sending everyone to their room!Is FEMA stealing marshymallows too?Well, bless her heart!Here comes Meihem!
There is always excitement in store when Six and Sebben show up. Mei must have been desperate to suggest this. I bet she won’t make that mistake again!
I just sent a check for $500 off to the Whatcom Humane Society, thanks to everyone who ordered a felty support kitty! There are still 6 more available, so check out the Felties Revisited page for information on ordering!
Till Tuesday (when I WILL have a new ‘toon) Be the Bear! Bob T Panda
The actual Olympics may have ended weeks ago, but time has no meaning here! Here with the final event, are our favorite pairs of twins, The Meihems and their…um…”differently behaved” younger zizzies, Six and Sebben!
Let the games begin!
We will now bid the Panda-O-Lympics a fond fare the well, for another 2 years. Who will the torch bears be this time? Perhaps Fleur and Snowy? Stay ‘tooned in to find out!
Be the bear! Bob T Panda
Don’t forget the felty kitty project! Still 19 kitties available for their forebear homes!
