I jumped the gun on Friday. Not really, because Saturday was the actual start of Chinese New Year, and this is the year of the Red Fire Rooster, or as one of the special friends to pandas, Lucilla T. has dubbed it, the Year of the WUster!!!!!! (Referring, of course, to everybody’s favorite panda, Mr. Wu of the San Diego panda clan.) (Okay, I know I am about to get a lot of heat here about who is the best panda ebber. Let’s just say I have a thing for the Wu Self and leave it at that.)
And if you are looking for a special recipe for your celebrations, hop on over to Vicky Vladic’s blog VSomethingSpeaks for a yummy chicken recipe. That’s if you’d rather eat your rooster, rather than party with it.
Meanwhile, here is my actual new ‘toon commemorating the Year of the Rooster!
It’s the year of the WUster!!!!
Panda On!

BTW, you’ll notice I did not lead with political outrage, although, trust me, it’s still there and getting worse every day. I just read a recent article on Medium about how to remain outraged without losing your mind. I highly recommend it! I already knew I was going to intersperse snarky political ‘toons with lighter panda fare, and this article confirmed we need to do both, in order to keep our sanity, not burn out, but also not let important crimes against humanity go unremarked. It’s getting very interesting out there. As in train wreck interesting, not fluffy kittens interesting.
loving the newest to the PK: 6 & 7, or the Lunie-toons!
They will be showing up more soon!
This panda fan appreciates some lighter fare every once in awhile. Hang in there.
I’m with Mehitabel, caution is required when the pandas celebrate new year! Love seeing all our cuddly pandas having fun. Six and Seben are so adorable.
Thanks for including a link to my blog 🙂
Thanks!
I want to try that recipe. It sounds like something I could actually do!
I was worried because it seemed complicated, but apart from having to wait overnight, it’s pretty easy!
I’m pretty lazy when it comes to real cooking, but this looks easy enough for me!
Excellent, dear Bob.
Thank you!
