31 Days of Pandas: Day 14/Don’t be an April Fool!

Yes, it’s Fabulously Furry Friday, once again and being in the middle of 31 Days of Pandas only makes it more FABULOUS! Oh, what a year it’s been, but now the doors of your Indictment Advent Calendar are springing open faster than we can keep up! Who will be the next to sing a song of woe and treason?

Only the “Bob” knows for sure!

April Fools Day has always been my favorite holiday. I know I already ran this one, but I thought, given the latest indictments, it was worth repeating.

I loved this story line, because Bubba got to be the star (at least till Pinky showed up.)

long goodbye

The Long Goodbye, or “Toronto Farewell”

our story

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!

I’m pretty sure Pinky got everyone home safely, because you know what else happens in April…

Tax

The only sure things are Pandas and taxes.

The year’s insanity also included some inanity. 

truth

Foxxy “News” lies like a rug.

truth

Pandas COULD bite your head off if they really wanted to.

When the truth is found…
to beeee lies….

Let’s keep Pandaing on, shall we?

31 Days of Pandas: Year in Review: March

March came in like a panda: sleeping half the day, and spent the rest of the time looking for Cuppycakes. It was also the month of the annual Pandamonium Panda Convention, this time in beautiful PanDiego!

Let’s see what the pandas rustled up in March!

panda convention

Babette and her many admirers, at a Panda Convention dinner party!

Some things never change…

Well, she does have a valid point…

2018 saw the publication of another Panda Chronicles Collection, featuring none other that Princess Pinky! (Pinky sez you might want to give them for ALL your holiday gifts!)

Don’t ignore Princess Pinky! #ClapLouder

This was one of my favorite ‘toons of the year…

Well *bleep* and take your *bleep* and stick it *bleep*!!!!

I think we all need a little emotional support these days…(That’s why they invented six-packs of cuppycakes)

Yes, Pinky. I’m sure Mr. Bun IS emotionally supportive!

This ‘toon took on even more personal significance this fall when a gunman entered The Tree of Life Synagogue and killed 11 people, and shot and injured someone I know. Thankfully he has survived, but 11 others that day were not so lucky. Several of the brave responders were shot as well. When is enough, enough? I’d say that day came years ago.

March4Life

WE will accept NO support from the NRA

I know this is supposed to be the March edition of The Year in Review, but it kind of went with the previous ‘toon, theme wise!

April Fools Day has always been my favorite holiday

Hey! Don’t forget to get this book!

Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?

31 Days of Pandas: Year in Review: February

Welcome to our Year in Review for February! Let’s see what was happening back then…

I really hate it when I’m right about stuff…

In fact, not only was as bad as we thought it would be, it was worse.

But there are always a few bright spots…

Aw, Pinky…Bubba loves you!

All that practicing for the Olympics really paid off, don’t you think?

Skate faster, Boo boo!

Four pandas are better than two.

The world swoons….

Tune in tomorrow as we march towards March!

Day 2: 31 Days of Pandas

We’re back for our second day of 31 Days of Pandas!

Huzzah!

Let’s get right back to our recap of Pinky in Wonderland!

And what magical place has Pinky found, as she opens the tiny door?

Those little pandas look vaguely familiar!

Wouldn’t it be better if dey was a very dark shade of pink????

Time to go off to find Mr. Bun!

I’ve always hated when movies do this…

Mittens: No Room! No Room! You look like you’re not from around here!

Our story continues…

What did we tell you?

Bubba wouldn’t be such a smarty pants if he wasn’t up in that tree (and couldn’t disappear at will)

Tune in tomorrow for the first NEW ‘toon of 31 Days of Pandas!

Huzzah!

Be the Bear!

It’s Time Once Again! 31 Days of Pandas Has Arrived

Yes, It’s been (another) hell of a year. So I asked myself, “Self…what could I do to improve the mood of the defenders of justice, the pursuers of happiness, and friends to furry creatures great and small…?”

I Know! Let’s have 31 Days of Pandas!!!!!!

We have a new format for this year’s 31 Days of Pandas. On Monday through Thursday, we will have a brand new ‘toon each day, and Friday through Sunday, we will revisit my favorite ‘toons of each month in 2018, with a teensy bit of commentary on the ‘toons.

But WAIT, you say! What about Pinky in Wonderland????

Well, I have been working on new episodes (Huzzah!) (Pinky: it’s about time! i am a icon, you know!). There have been so many current events that I have felt the need to chronicle, that Pinky in Wonderland was unavoidably delayed. Rather than make you search through all the older posts to catch up with the story, (would I do that?) I thought it would be a great use of the first two days of 31 Days of Pandas to recap the story till now.

Sit back, get some popcorn and Boo-Cola and enjoy episodes 1-9 of Pinky in Wonderland!

wonderland

Curiouser and curiouser…

wonderland

Pinky: mommee is making jokes again!

Was that Mr. Bun????

Sometimes being spontunerous can get you in over your head, Pinky!

Drink mee!

Well dis is a pickle an’ a half!

It would be better with a little salt and balsamic vinegar, but not bad!

We know just how you feel, Pinky. We feel the same.

What could be behind that door? Stay tuned, panda fans!

Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of 31 Days of Pandas and Pinky in Wonderland!

Be the Bear!

OMG Tomorrow is the beginning of 31 Days of Pandas!!!!!!

Nothing is more exciting than the beginning of 31 Days of Pandas, unless of course, it is finding out you just won the MegaGazillionsPandaPaloozaLottery!!! (BTW, I did NOT win this, so don’t ask for money, okay?)

So, as I gather up pandas from hither and yon, let’s warm up a bit with today’s Fabulous Furry Friday Encore Presentation! (It is not good to enter an endurance event like 31 Days of Pandas without doing a little bit of training! Cuppycakes, anyone?)

Get ready…get set…LET’S PANDA LIKE IT’S 1999!!!!!

In honor of the blue wave that just swept in…TSUNAMI PAINTING!!!

You say sumi-e, I say Tsunami

Always read the directions…

The panda kindergarten in las vegas hotel room

What happens in the panda kindergarten, STAYS in the panda kindergarten

This looks kind of dangerous, doesn’t it?

this old den 2nd episode

The panda kindergarten is so very helpful.

And what would the holiday season be without a gingerbread house competition?

You left the panda kindergarten alone with my house?

DON’T FORGET TO TUNE IN TOMORROW FOR THE START OF 31 DAYS OF PANDAS!!!!

Be the Bear!

And while you’re shopping on line, why not hop over to the Panda Chronicles Books page, for links to places to buy Panda Satire! Tis the season, Ho Ho Ho!

It’s Black and White Friday!

Join us as we attempt to push away from the table (no! Really, I couldn’t…oh, well, maybe a fifth piece of pie would go down nicely) and gather around the computer to enjoy a few vintage ‘toons as we gear up for 31 Days of Pandas, starting a week from Saturday.

The news just keeps getting newsier and newsier and I am thankful that my friends in north central CA home was spared, but so many were not. Perhaps the panda kindergarten could be enlisted to rake the forest floor. Sigh….

But enough about reality! Let’s have some pandas!

pass the beans!

More literature of the panda!

Bob, Bob, Bob…when will you ever learn?

Last Supper, Cupcakes, DaVinci

Princess Pinky says, she is thankful for cuppycakes and da panda kindygarten and her magical wand!

It’s beginning to look a lot like pandas….too soon! too soon!

Zank hebben…for leettle bears!

comics history

Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?

Also, in the future panda file, I just found out 2019 is The Year of the Banky Pig! Huzzah!        Be sure to tune in on Sunday for the final episode of “Bears will be Bears!”

Be the Bear!
Bob T Panda

Have a Fabulous Furry Friday! (burp!)

Get Ready for More Stories About Bears!

I have a little series coming up, that I wrote to make myself feel better about the recent Supreme Court Nomination Debacle. I’m thinking that this series had it’s roots in an exercise our Nevada SCBWI Mentor class had in a session during our final weekend. Our leader for the class, Timothy Travaglini, (@DevilWrsBowTies on Twidder) had everyone write a couple sentences about someone who had done something really awful to us, for which we would like revenge. We then exchanged the papers and pared up with another writer in the group to write a story of revenge.

I’m just saying: do not make writers mad. The story they will write in retaliation will be very scary.

Just keep that in mind when you read our little series starting on Sunday!

Oh those polar bears! What jokers they are!

because…misery bear!!!!!

The irony of Mehitabel criticizing Pooh Bear for his wardrobe, does not escape me.

I’m not sure Mehitabel has anything to talk about.

Today, you are a bear.

…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!!

Bob still likes to get out in the field once in a while.

Panda On!
Bob T Fabulously Furry Panda

Will Fridays ever be Fabulous and Furry Again?

We survived the midterms and while we didn’t get everything on our wish list, we did get some of it, most importantly Democratic control of the House of Representatives. That’s not just chopped liver, I’m telling you!

Meanwhile, we are gearing up for 31 Days of Pandas and I think I have a plan! Meanwhile…

Let’s scamper down memory lane, with Pinky and her minions, who just turned FOUR years old last week!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Triple Trouble indeed!

What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?

Maybe you shouldn’t plug that many things into an extension cord, Pinky.

did someone turn out the lights?

And Zoonooz is on the job!

Cause and effects are very complicated concepts for baby pandas, don’t you think?

Zoonooz is on the job. Can you say “cover up”?

Pinky for what??????

Bob wouldn’t try anything sneaky, would he? Would he??????? Ah…such innocent times…

Panda on!

PS: For those of you who have been following the news in Pittsburgh, my friend was recently moved from ICU to a regular hospital room, so I am more optimistic, cautiously so. Thanks to all who have asked.

Make Pandas Funny Again

Just a reminder to everyone, that today is election day in the US. Everyone who hasn’t already voted by mail, or voted in early voting, should be heading out to the polls soon.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!

Have I made myself clear? Let’s not have a repeat of this:

day after

Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.

We shall overcome
