You knew Rusty had to get his opinion in, didn’t you?

TBH, I don’t know if red pandas are really this fiesty, but I like to imagine that they are. They provide a wonderful counterpart to the (relative) calmness of giant pandas (except where Pinky is concerned). I really need to get into the Woodland Park Zoo and see the new kids on the block (and maybe demonstrate for WOOZPPAH a little bit.)

Why don’t you tell us what you really think, Rusty?

Unka Rusty has some seriously feisty opinions!

And speaking of WOOZPPAH, if Howard Schultz wanted to do something worthwhile with his money, he could endow the Starbucks Panda Pavillion at Woodland Park Zoo. He won’t, but it might make me like him just a little bit.

Panda on!

Bears Will Be Bears!

I just heard a news story on the radio the other morning about grizzly bears still being on the endangered species list. This, of course, made me think about everyone’s favorite grizzly bears, Frank and Mikey! Be assured, I am working on some new ‘toons for them which will show up in a few weeks, because, as you might imagine, they have opinions about this development!

While generally speaking, we are all on team panda, rumor has it, there are OTHER bears out there too!

So to celebrate our upcoming ‘toons starring Frank and Mikey, here are some Sunday Funday ‘toons about bears!

Today, you are a bear.

Oh those polar bears! What jokers they are!

another cartoon inspired by real news!

Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story

Lookee! It’s Frank and Mikey!

Send in the bears!

Helloooooo bears!

I like bears.

Be the Bear, ebbryone!

Really, some of Mittens’ spokes-vampires have gotten so outrageous with their lies that I’m surprised their heads don’t explode from the sheer audacity of their statements. And what’s with Mister Coffee’s whining that because he is rich and successful, people are being mean to him when they tell him they don’t want him to RUN for president, let alone BE president. We’ve had enough whining from Mittens as it is.

But enough about the lies and whining of people in the political sphere. We have more than enough lies from Pinky! On with the ‘toons!

Please, just go away, KittySue! And did you see what I just saw on Pinky’s Tiara?

Panda on, oh, and by the way, we have just a few more hours for you to sign up and pledge your support for the first Panda Chronicles pin, featuring none other than Princess Pinky! You have until 5:17 PST to head here to pledge your support! Thanks to everyone who has already climbed aboard the Panda Bus to make this project a reality!

You Can’t do That to Pinky!

Pinky has RIGHTS!

Pinky has a Magical WAND!

Can Mittens really do this? Well, I just don’t know about that, Dude.

Mittens can’t really do that, can he?

Meanwhile, we are entering the final week of our Put a Panda On It Pinky Pin Kickstarter campaign! Huzzah! so there is still time to head on over here if you were thinking you wanted to collect the whole set!

Panda on!

It’s Sunday Funday! Let’s have Fun with PANDAS!!!!

The sky is gray, but it’s all black and white at the Panda Chronicles!

Yes, it’s Sunday, which is now our day for Encore Presentations of all of my (and I hope your) favorite ‘toons. I spent yesterday at the American Library Association Midwinter Conference in Seattle. It was fun and overwhelming and I came home with piles of new books to read, saw many of my writer/illustrator buddies from SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and was in the presence of more people than I usually see in a year.

If I find books in my now huge to-be-read pile that I love, I’ll be sure to pass these titles along as I know many of you love to read things that aren’t even about pandas!

But now, let’s have some of those pandas you love!

I just saw another news story on Twidder about this…

“I’ll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and one of…”

what fresh horror

…and she ate the just right cuppycake all up!

31 days

Oh come on…hasn’t that ever happened to you? One minute there are two dozen cuppycakes just sitting there, and the next minute they’re gone?

let there be cake!

Inspired by a TRUE story!

I need to go have some cake!

Panda on!

In case you might be interested….

Sunday Funday!

…I have a new Kickstarter campaign running since this past Thursday. For those of you who don’t know about Kickstarter, here’s how it works:

and that’s what it’s all about!

Some of you may remember some earlier campaigns: (Not to mention what the panda kindergarten did to Mehitabel!)

Get ready…….

ready

Think of the next couple weeks like NPR and their pledge drives!

There was my campaign to raise funds for a trip to see pandas in China…

Isn’t it time for a cuppycake?

Of course, Pinky was happy to help!

Pinky: what’s wrong wif dis cookie?

Did Bubba eat the cookie?

But this time, it’s ALL ABOUT PINKY!!!!! (Or, at least a pinky pin!)

The Scandals Keep Mounting…

Will we ever see the end of this? Voter suppression, lies from what should be trusted government spokespersons, feeding and ramping up the fears of the American public.

But where traumas and tribulations are rampant, pandas ride in to save the day. With humor, at least. That’s something, isn’t it?

Before we get to today’s ‘toon, I want to tell you about a little project I have in mind. A couple years ago, Kickstarter came up with a concept for small projects for the month of January. The idea is that you create a project with rewards limited to 100 “things”, so there is only 1 reward level.

I’ve been thinking about this for a year, and doing some sketches.  There have been some great enameled pins being designed by artists, and I think a series of Panda Chronicles pins would be a great addition to the pins that are now available. Depending on the response for this pin, I can do additional projects with additional images. I

I bet you want to know what the pin will look like…

Of course, Pinky demanded to be on the first pin. Proposed size, approximately 1 inch high by 3/4 inch wide.

Please feel free to share your comments, let me know if this is something you might be interested in. I’m working now on setting up the project over on Kickstarter, and plan to go live around the middle of January, with a 2 week funding period. (not much time, I know!) More information will follow soon!

Meanwhile, here are Tuesday’s pandas!

Is there no end to our misery? The chill of voter suppression can’t be alleviated by putting on a sweater!

Panda on, Panda on!

Welcome back US Congress!

Leave a reply

It’s January 3rd and the US Congress is back in business, even if #Individual1 is still keeping the government shut down. (I’m writing this a few days before this post release, so there is always hope that all the government workers will get their jobs-and their paychecks-back before today.) Individual 1 may be under the false impression that Robert Mueller can’t work on the investigation, or other potential perils to the “president” can’t proceed. Ha!

A big pandy shout-out to all the brand new house members, particularly those who ran because they passionately wanted to make life better for those who have not had equitable representation before. Thank you for stepping up to the plate!

But enough about real life! Let’s get on with some pandas! (and cats!!!!)

Don’t forget Frank and Mikey!

Pandaing Ever Onward

PS: Just a reminder, there is no more Fabulous Furry Friday. (SAD!!!!) Encore presentations will now appear on Sundays. (Huzzah!!!!) And also a reminder that FB is becoming more and more capricious in what they show you in your news feed. If you don’t want to miss a single second of panda satire, sign up on the website via the FIRST sign up form on the top of the right hand sidebar, that says: Invite Pandas to your inbox. You’ll be glad you did!

New ‘toons will arrive on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Buckle up! Pandas are ready to prove that they are the most political animals out there!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 30~It’s almost over!

What a great 31 Days of Pandas this has been! I hope you’ve had fun and that at least for a few moments you forgot about the complete s*#*show was going on in our nation’s capitol. Oh…um..sorry. I didn’t mean to remind you.

Hey! Look over there! Pandas!

Sad Turtle, Too Much McConnell has much to answer for.

Wasn’t there something during the campaign of 2016 about NOT using private emails and devices?

Love in the Time of Mittens (which, quite frankly, is a lot like the time of cholera)

And finally, we end up where we began this panda-fun month!

31 Days of Pandas. You know you want this!

We all kind of feel like this, Pinky.

Panda like it’s 1999!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 28/ Year in Review~October

Leave a reply

Well, well, well. HWMNBN has shut down the government. My sympathy goes out to the 100’s of thousands of people who won’t be getting a paycheck until this is resolved. Does #Individual1 care? I’m sure he hasn’t given it a thought. He seems to think the money that is “saved” by not paying people can be used for his wall.

But we have more important fish to fry. And of course, I mean, looking back at what was piquing the interest of the forces of panda satire, in the month of October. Has it really only been 2 months?

Let’s see, shall we? Shall we perhaps remember another unindicted co-conspirator?

Can’t ghosts have opinions too?

Um…maybe he could be Individual 1’s Chief of Staff!

“And they called ME a crook!”

Stop the chaos and VOTE!!!

Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!

Panda on!
