kept me from finishing today’s ‘toon…I promise it’s in progress, but a painting took my attention this morning, a long nap yesterday afternoon, and tending to my mobile tomato garden also kept me from my appointed tasks.
Enjoy today’s offerings from the archives. I will say that nothing scary is happening to Ping this week as our story contuses to develop.
Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.
It seems like Six and Sebben need to make an appearance in our current story, don’t you think? Mittens and his evil minions wouldn’t stand a chance against them.
I promise I’ll have the next installment by Thursday!
Till then, Be the Bear Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda
I am taking advantage of both my last minute hustle getting ready for an upcoming art show* and my vast archive of Panda ‘toons, especially those dealing with Mittens’ malfeasance when it comes to making bank out of the Oval Office.
It is a myth that artists can paint up until the last minute before an art show. There is photography and much, much paperwork that needs to be done in advance of delivering the work, let alone the opening of the show. You can read about some of this here! plus, see some of the art that will be in the show.
Anyway, Here We Go! The Mercenary Malfeasance of Mittens!
Are all these paper clips mine?Hey! Why are you making another character of questionable ethics a CAT???“Be yourself – Everyone else is already taken”
-Oscar WildeClear as mud!
Fear not! I’ll be back with some new ‘toons next week!
Be the Bear Bob T is trying not to stress out Panda
Good intentions…blah blah blah…where does the time go…yadda yadda yadda… But every day I don’t get a new ‘toon done, it’s an opportunity to dig into the archives.
Hot on the news of Judge Box-o-Wine being the latest inappropriate pick for one of Mitten’s DoJ posts, I think we need something light and funny, as I think all our pulses are up, our sleep is down, and there aren’t enough cuppycakes to ease our anxiety.
Let’s see now…
I think I may have discovered the origin story for why Canada is not pleased with us…
Bubba: but why should I be in trubble?I’ll talk! I’ll talk!Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”uh oh…Um…I think Pinky has Daddee wrapped around her fuzzy little paw. Just saying.Ooooh! Did Daddee actually yell at Pinky?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?
Of course, there must be an epilogue…
There may be political concussions!
I know I feel a little better after reading this story. I’m not sure it’s a good thing that Pinky’s fibs now sound less preposterous than the lies told by FF45 2.0. I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation from 2016. We need all the laughs we can get, don’t you think?
Hey! Guess what today is? It’s the Ides of April, of course. The day you might be paying your taxes or filing an extension. Of course, since E-loon and his goons have fired a few thousand of the people who work at the IRS, who knows what will happen with your return.
And then there is the whole “yes there are tariffs, no, there are no tariffs…oh wait…just kidding! Let’s make penguins pay tariffs.”
Did someone say Penguins?
Frank and Mikey get in on the action!
And a little tribute to tax days past…
The only sure things are Pandas and taxes.
The nooz is so bad I can’t make fun of it right now…well, other than the penguin thing. I hope you are doing okay and hanging in there.
It was another one of those weeks. Between getting a bit of a cold — first one since covid—and trying to get my tax stuff mailed in (why, oh why?) I didn’t quite get today’s ‘toon done. It will definitely be ready for next week, so in the meantime, I thought I’d pull out some of my Pinky’s greatest hits.
Remember, once an icon, always an icon. It’s not just common sense, it’s the LAW!
Pinky forebber!
oops.Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…Pinky tests her powers….Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.
Pinky at her poof-iest!
Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?If only it was this easy…
I want to acknowledge that weeks (are you sure it hasn’t been years) since Mittens came back into power have been extremely hard, and it’s easy to slip into dark thoughts. I am constantly ricocheting back and forth between oh look! the sun is out and I have leftover pizza, and all is lost! F45 is going to steal every penny in the treasury and murder all sorts of people who don’t deserve it, and, and, and…
It’s a struggle to keep on the path, but hopefully a large dose of baby Pinky will help.
I’m so glad you are all here with me.
Be the Bear Bob T is still listening to Taylor Swift Panda
There hardly seems like there could be an April Fool’s Day joke that would reach the absurdity of everything we are currently living through, but here we are. Alas, the weekend got away from me again (too many naps, too much cake…you know how that goes) so once again, I must dip into the archives for your entertainment today.
One little point of discussion after last week’s ‘toon, starring Frank and Mikey, with a discussion of some vital NooZ. It was pointed out to me that the story they told was NOT A REAL STORY! and I have some thoughts about that. First I made several references to Andy Borowitz, a well known writer of satire, who…um…broke this story. Secondly, have you learned NOTHING over the time since Frank and Mikey made their way onto the scene? When have they EVER said anything that is true? I mean…if Mehitabel had introduced the story, there is a 80%-20% chance that the story would be true, but as Frank and Mikey are the bearsonification of unreliable narrators, one would be well advised to never believe anything they say. Just ask Josie!
Meanwhile, back at the zoo…
A recent (real) NooZ story that Elmer’s incels are turning their attention to The Smithsonian and THE ZOO to root out fraud and “improper ideology“… I felt moved to redo a little of the dialog from this classic from Pinky’s first campaign to be presydent…
IMPROPER IDEOLOGY my ass! I mean…Pinky isn’t even there anymore!
It really fits, doesn’t it? Now…on with a little Panda Foolery…
I am only making some of this up“It was dark….there were men in masks….”No nonsense to be found here! See how important the Smithsonian is?This was way too much fun. :o)Do you smell smoke?
Oops! Another week where I was too busy gallivanting around to get Tuesday’s ‘toon done, but never fear. I would not leave you without some entertainment! For your consideration, I have dug into to the archives to share some ‘toons from…the Pinky Zone!
He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!oops.Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?Never say “No” to a Pinky!I love a good art forgery, don’t you?
“How does you spell ‘hostage’?” hee hee hee!
Baby Pinky is kind of my favorite! I hope this will bring a smile to your face until we figure out what we’re doing on Thursday!
Be the Bear, Bob T it’s not like there is anything else going on, is there? Panda
It’s another one of those weeks that has too much too do and not enough time to do everything that needs doing, so I’m going to blindfold myself and stick my hand into the old archives and see what I can find. Maybe I’ll have a new ‘toon for Thursday, maybe not. Definitely for next week, though!
I think we need something that will make us laugh, something to take our minds of that power mad mongrel that would be king.
Maybe something about another power hungry character….
I really had no idea what she was up to.See? I told you it was broken!Bubba: but why should I be in trubble?Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?
And just to remind you, we knew 9 years ago how terrible it would be if You Know Who was ever elected even the FIRST time!!!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
We are afraid. Honest. Pinky: you should have voted for me.
Once again the day got away from me, so enjoy this bonus edition of gems from the archive. Offerings from Februarys past…
We have the very best facts
I *may* have attended a small but sincere protest gathering in Langley yesterday.
In fact, not only was as bad as we thought it would be, it was worse.
And 2025 version 2.0 of the F45 regime is worse still.
Unka Rusty has some seriously feisty opinions!
The Red Panda resistance will not be denied!
Do I smell smoke?Buh Buh Buh Buh BYE!!!!
Alas…
What’s a day without a visit from Pinky? (or Six and Sebben?)
Let’s face it. Things are getting really bad and they are going to get worse. Oh crap, I was trying not to say that, but it just slipped out. I’ll be back on Thursday, with the finished ‘toon I thought I’d get done today. Best laid plans and all.
If you need a really good laugh, please enjoy this SNL skit with some really star talent being as funny and raunchy as you could not believe. Woody Harrelson trying to keep from busting out laughing is priceless.
Be the Bear Bob T hoping democracy is not over Panda
