It’s no wonder some people (such as myself) have a little bit of a hard time separating fact from fiction. As you will see in next week’s ‘toons, when Mittens takes to the stage, there was so much of his dialog that I could pull from actual news items, that I really didn’t have to make much up. In some ways, it makes my life easier, but in other ways… I’d like the world we live in to be kind and fair and…um…have so many pandas that they become a pest: invasive rather than endangered. They could go into neighborhoods where people have foolishly planted bamboo, which has now gotten out of control, and take care of it, providing fertilizer in addition to pesky plant removal. The Putting Pandas to Work program could go global!
Putting Pandas to Work goes global!
Along with all the political news of the week, I’ve also seen a few references to “sock puppet” accounts on various social media outlets. I don’t know what the big deal is. I’ve always loved puppets.
But they’re so cute!
And as various politicians toot their horns about their popularity, as opposed to that of their opponents…
See? I told you it was broken!
(Ha ha! That one has become one of my all time favorites!)
But as we head into the home stretch of this very long campaign season, let me leave you with a ‘toon that reminds us, that the most important positions in the world should not be awarded through stoking the fears of some, but because of what we can bring to a table where there is room for all.

And now for a word from our sponsor! If you enjoy these cartoons and want to support *me* the creator of the aforementioned cartoons, consider visiting my Book Page and buying my books for yourself or for friends! A portion of my sales also goes to support our friends at Pandas International, who support actual pandas!
I’m just wearing my self out trying to keep on top of the bamboo growth around here. Do you rent panda’s for bamboo removal?
We’ll look into that. It would be a very useful service.
If the zoos ever consider renting out pandas to keep the bamboo population under control, I may just have to start a boo forest so I would have as many pandas as I could fit in my house.
Oh if only it were so! You would definitely want to make sure about panda availability, as bamboo grows really fast! And once it takes off, it is hard to stop (without pandas, that is) I would drive the pandas from my house to my neighbors down the hill. Their bamboo forest is VERY healthy!
As an aside Bob T, I just did a guest post over at Cordelia’s Mom’s. I would be honored if you had the time to drop by. Thank you. https://cordeliasmomstill.com/2016/06/11/youre-insane-guest-post-by-paul-curran/comment-page-1/#comment-17509
I’ve already been over! My, you do lead an interesting life! I’m proud of you for taking a stand. Some people might think you went over the top when describing what COULD have happened, but as a died in the wool…err…fur…catastrophist, I would have imagined the same possible scenario.
Thanks Panda in Chief! My apologies for not noticing you had been, seen and conquered.
No problem!
“Wash your paws with water, don’t just lick them!” Tee hee! Glad dat only applies to Pannas, not kitties. Oh no, here comes Cee w/a wet wash cloth for a paw inspection!!!
