Granted, they will not be hosting the Winter Olympics in Beijing until 2022, by which time we could all be dead, but we are so excited that the pandas get another chance to compete! Of course some sort of panda-like mascot has been selected for the 2022 Olympics. Predictably, some have criticized the Olympic committee for “lack of creativity” in choosing a panda as the mascot. To this we say: WHAT ARE YOU FREAKIN’ NUTS???? IT’S A PANDA! OF COURSE THEY CHOSE A PANDA! GET A GRIP!
In honor of this momentous honor for pandas, let’s look back on Panda Olympics past! Huzzah! It’s a double dose of pandas because we REALLY need them!
another boring rerun
Did the Torch Bears take a wrong turn????
This cartoon is one of Bob’s earliest appearances!
The Pandas first attempt at Olympic Glory!
Never underestimate the power of a good “fart joke”
We would like to point out that there were NO TORCH BEARS near the Cathedral of Notre Dame when it caught on fire.
Love the hobby horse on a spring (inspired by a REAL photo of a REAL panda on one.
I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!
Uh oh! has there been Russian tampering with the selection of the Torch Bears?
Hey! watch where you put that torch!
Hey! What are you two doing up on top of the ski jump?
Let Pinky be Pinky!
Skate faster, Boo boo!
Four pandas are better than two.
The world swoons….
Panda on!

Bebe Maurice! My little funny looking panda baby! I had forgotten he had made his debut at these Panda Olympics! I love this cartoon! He has savoir faire! Formidable!! He is precious in this cartoon! I like him when he decided that he would be an artist, and when he was in Pinky in Wonderland!
The other cartoons have me in stitches! So funny!
Thanks for the chuckles!
Hope you are doing well! I found a great picture of you in your panda ears! So glad you were able to see the Canadian pandas!
Take care!
I had forgotten that Bebe Maurice had made his debut at the Olympics, too, until I started looking for Olympic themed ‘toons. I need to bring him back into the story lines.
I am so glad I got to see the twins one more time before they go to China. I am sorry they have to go, but maybe they will get to share a flight with Bei bee, and he and Jia Yue Yue can hold paws for the whole flight to China.
You’re brilliant, Anne. Just are.
Aw, shucks! Thanks, Wendy.
