As I finish up my work for my upcoming show, I find I need to lean on the archives a little bit more. Of course that means you get a BUNCH of ‘toons instead of just one, so not all bad!
Let’s see what bubbles to the surface…
sigh…if only…
Didn’t anyone tell Pinky if you have to cheat, you’re not winning? Hmm…
Can you blame him? Who doesn’t love ice cream?
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives!
Be the Bear!
Bob T pass the ice cream Panda
Are we still in a war? do we have an completely insane “president” whose mental derailment is being completely ignored by the Cabinet and VP who are the only ones who could actually do something about this? Are we running around muttering oh no oh no oh no?
This aggression will not stand, man!
Before Pinky poofed the Meihems into being girls! Don’t tell Mittens!
I hope a little bit of panda fun took your mind off of “things” for a little while. We do what we can!

Bob T will this torture ever end Panda
Sorry, it’s been another crazy busy week, but I’m making progress on exhibition stuff, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more relaxed week next week. Hahahahahahahahaha!
Since we are coming up on Mr. Wu’s birthday season next month, I thought I’d share one of the Mr. Wu Stories, with more coming in the next couple of weeks. I can’t believe he’s going to turn 14 this July!!!! That does not seem possible.
Here is one of Mr Wu’s early encounter with the Panda Kindergarten…
Well, I hope you enjoyed Mr Wu’s big adventure!
More to come next week!

Bob T Wu Bear’s biggest fan Panda
Our good friend Maria Panda posted a ‘toon from one of our books, showing Pinky heading off to summer camp. As Pinky’s twins Four and Five are about to go off to CampGrandMei later this week, we thought we better take a little trip down memory lane!
Is it a good thing that I can’t remember some of my own story lines?
Well, I know there is more to this story and I will look for it for our next Panda Chronicles Archive extravaganza. Until next time, when we hope to have a new ‘toon for Thursday, …
Be the Bear!
Bob T who invited Babette? Panda
Another archive dive today because I went outside, had fun, and took a nap this weekend. Hopefully I will finish what I started on for today, on Thursday! Still deep in the getting ready for my show trenches, but it will be done in the not too distant future!
Bill Watterson remains one of the guiding lights for cartoonists of this era. I thought it would be fun to share this whole story line from the archives. Calvin and Hobbes was a force to be reckoned with, and still is to this day.
I’m sure I will get something new done…eventually. Meanwhile, paintings are happening!

Bob T I’d rather be goofing off Panda
BTW, I have finally unearthed my work station in the felty studio and probably late summer or early fall start making some more things.
Sad how much things don’t change when it comes to Mittens. They just get worse.
I think this was when they went on their first vacation to Alaska after moving in to the Panda House.
Oddly enough, even in 2026, Mittens STILL hasn’t accepted the results of the 2020 election.
The Shadow Docket, which is still being abused, still kinda scary!
Well, that’s our round up from the archives for this week. And remember, all the bad stuff that’s happening? We told you so! Sigh…maybe things will be better next week!
Be the Bear
Bob T why can’t Mittens just go away? Panda
Once again we take a trip through the archives to see what we were doing in previous years this month!
I bet it was Frank and Mikey, who we hadn’t met yet in May of 2018.
And then one more from the animal justice league!
It’s amazing what you can get from Acme, isn’t it?
These ‘toons brought to you in preparation for more from Pinky’s twins, Four and Five, and why they are the way they are.
I hope these ‘toons from the archives have brought even a momentary smile to your faces. Remember: Mittens and his minions WANT you to feel bad, forget joy, feel hopeless! Be like Pinky! (MX: well, not exactly like Pinky…) and don’t give up in advance. Remember, it makes them mad when you laugh at them.

Bob T looking on the pandy side Panda
It’s Thursday and that means it’s time to take a little dive into the archives and see what we were thinking about during May of years past.
No matter how random I try to be when choosing ‘toons, many of them are extremely relevant to current events:
The aftermath of the Canadian Cubby Caper…
Boycotting The World Cup Games? Maybe International Competition Level Cookie Balancing might be just the thing to replace soccer!
Did I actually balance cookies? I’ll never tell*
*Yes, I actually did.
I was looking for this ‘toon a little while ago!
I hope today’s trip down panda memory lane distracted you from the sh*t show that is going on right now. Hopefully no pandas in China were subjected to visits from F45 or any of his tech bro entourage, particularly The head Wanker at Tesl* and his spawn, Kevlar.
Till we meet again!
Be the Bear
Bob T I’m not sure how much more of this I can take Panda
See how quickly I pivoted to the Thursday Archive dive, as if this is ALWAYS how we’ve done it.
Ahhhh….what to concentrate on. I think I’ll just share some ‘toons from the month of May through Panda Chronicles history, which oddly enough, is now 15 years long!
The panda kindergarten would like to point out they were NO WHERE NEAR NOTRE DAME when it caught fire!
Sigh…it could have all been so different…
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives! Be sure to ‘toon in next week for a *new* ‘toon on Tuesday (New ‘toon Tuesday?) and another fun dive into the archives on Thursday!
Be the Bear
Bob T honestly, I’m working hard Panda
After Tuesday’s ‘toon of elephants seeking justice, I thought I’d dig into the archives and find some other stories of when animals came out on top!
I don’t know about you, but these ‘toons always cheer me up a lot!

Bob T is not lion food Panda
