Poor Mommee Mei…She generously invited the Meihems and Six and Sebben, the Cublanta twins, to come and stay with Bubba and Pinky, thinking that they would keep Pinky distracted and under control. Hahahahahahahaha! Me thinks Mommee Mei is having a bit of a memory problem.
Can you say, “make my booting a double?”
Well bless their hearts!

I mentioned the aforementioned tin foil hat to a friend the other day, and he was not aware of the phenomena. If you don’t know what I’m talking about either, there is a trope in the “conspiracy theory” genre of “literature” that in order to keep the government (or aliens) from spying on your very thoughts, one could wear a hat made from tin foil to keep them from accessing your innermost (presumably depraved) thoughts. Try Googling “tin foil hat” …there is some wild stuff about them!
I sure hope Mittens can’t read my thoughts!
Meanwhile, in the realm of felty pandas, I’m almost caught up, and by next week I will be! So, if you were wanting a felty panda of your own, check out the currently available pandas on the Buy Stuff with Pandas page! I still have Washi Tape available too!
Be the Bear!

Before we get to our weekly round-up of pandas, I just want to give voice to the thought that is in most of our minds. This Monday is Memorial Day, the day we, as Americans, pause to remember those who died protecting our country in the armed services. By tomorrow, more than 100,000 people will have died in this country from COVID 19.
Academic statistical models tell us that had we only started physical distancing and stay at home orders one week earlier, we would have less than half this number of deaths. We can’t change the past, but we can still influence the future. stay home if you can. Wear a mask if you can’t. While you still might have to go to work, do what you can to maintain distancing and stay out of crowded situations when you are able.
Do we want this all to be over? You bet! Is it going to happen immediately? Probably not. What helps me is keeping in touch with my friends and the panda online community. Is constantly reading political commentary helpful? Probably not, but it does give me some good material for ‘toons, amIright? Better to spend more time watching panda videos.
Whats a protest without pandas?
Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!
…and due to the International women’s day strike of 2017
Would YOU believe this panda?
Do we HAVE to go?
Just how crazy do we think it’s going to get?
Next to Mittens, we all look pretty normal, don’t we?
Someone forgot to take their meds today, I think.
Lock that cat up, for crying out loud!
Panda On, Everyone!

Thanks to Jon Oliver who alerted us to this great new sporting event!
…in the drawing of this cartoon.
There will certainly be more hijinks at The Panda House (don’t forget, Six and Sebben, and the Meihems are still visiting!) but for now, safety and sanity (???) return to Mommee Mei’s charges.
Pinky: now where did I leave Daddee’s Panda Express card…
What will happen next? I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
Bee the Bear!
Bob T Panda
Let’s see…now where did we leave the little darlings of the Panda House? (Look here to see the previous episode, if you need to get up to date!)
Cole slaw, anyone?
Panda on, everyone!
Wands up! These are perilous days.
Bob T Panda
I am close to being caught up with current felty panda requests! I’ll still be taking orders for more, but plan to spend a little time in R&D to experiment with making Banky Pig, Mr. Toasty, Frank and Mikey, and Kevin, the smoking hot Koala! Stay tuned!
And don’t forget to look for Panda Chronicle masks on Redbubble! Stay safe, everyone!
As if the global pandemic was not enough pain for those of us in North America, the Canadian pandas are going to be going back to China. Their bamboo, which is about 99% of their diet, comes from China, flown in every couple days (or is it once a week? I can’t remember and I am too lazy to look it up.) has been hard to come by, what with the flight reductions during the pandemic. Most pandas have a preference for the bamboo they like to eat, and even if the US and Canada weren’t having their own problems, you can’t switch out Seattle boo for Chengdu boo, no matter how convenient that would be.
So, Er Shun and Da Mao are heading back to China, much to our dismay.
Meanwhile, HWMNBN continues to throw tantrums, tell lies about the scope of the pandemic and I’m guessing, will be tweeting up a s**tstorm after the inspiring speech that President Barak Obama gave at the Virtual Commencement on Saturday. It was nice to be reminded what someone with empathy and intelligence sounds like.
Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?
“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”
What do you mean you left a note saying they are at my house?
Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!
Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?
Hey! watch where you put that torch!
It’s a good thing that Pinky taught Bubba how to use Skype!
Packing is such a chore! And a surprise visit from a friend can make it go so much faster!
The Long Goodbye, or “Toronto Farewell”
Mommee pandas have laser vision. Don’t even think you can hide, Bubba.
There’s always time for another cupcake!!!
So THAT’S how Pinky got there so quickly!
I wonder what this button over here does….AAAAAHHHHHHHH!
By the way, it sounds like masks are shipping over at Redbubble! If you need some masks, wouldn’t you breathe a little easier if they had pandas on them?
Be(e) the Bear!

HWMNBN is not wasting any time getting his authoritarian game on. I sincerely hope we all do not die before this pandemic is over, and that the damage done by 45’s Reign of Terror can be repaired. Is it any wonder, Pinky has let her paws go tappity tapping through the shopping channel on Pandazon?
Did Pinky put this on Daddee’s Panda Express card?
Editors note: I am reeling from the news that Calgary’s pandas are going back to China three years early (four, if Er Shun had another cub) I am so sad that I won’t get to see them again, and also sad for their panda care team, which I know really loves their bears. I think maybe on Sunday we will have a tribute to the Canadian pandas, what say you? I’m sure I’ll have something to say about it by then.
Panda on!

Consider this evidence:
Rollback of environmental regulations
Rollback of work safety standards
Breaking the promise of a path to citizenship for DACA registrants
Imprisoning desparate migrants in inhumane conditions
Rollback of food safety inspections
Continued attempt to end the Affordable Care Act and the protections for those with pre-existing conditions
Nooz Flash: “president” Mittens has tested negative for having any compassion at all.

As we know, there is nothing “Be best” about Mittens. As one of the panda faithful on #PandaTwitter said, “We need you to keep making fun of Mittens so that we can keep our sanity.*”
*Or something like that.
It is too much to BEAR!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
“You are all Losers!” – Mittens the Cat
Pinky is beginning to look positively presidential!
“This is not a loser tail!!!!!”
Poof!
Whats a protest without pandas?
Are all these paper clips mine?
Don’t be endangered, be dangerous
Clear as mud!
Things are about as real as they can get.
Well, that’s about all of Mittens we can stand this week. Tune in next Sunday for more of Mittens’ crimes against humanity! Remember, laughing is a great form of resistance. If we quit laughing, the reign of terror has won. Don’t let him win and vote the bums out in November!
Keep panda-ing on!
Bob T Panda
Too bad for Pinky that her little brother and his friend Ping Ping, and their cousins from Atlanta are getting a little more assertive! She can’t get away with nearly as much Pinky-like behavior without them striking back!
You better go catch it!!!
The old jokes are not forgotten. Sometimes they even get to be president!
Panda On!
Bob T Panda
As of today, with the exception of one package that the person is not ready to receive yet (She probably wants to do some special shopping for Pinky!), ALL the felty pandas from the Kickstarter project have gone out! This is exciting because it means:
