You know I don’t mean to cause trauma to the pandas, but we are living this in real time in the real world. I don’t know where this ends, either in our story here, or in the real world. We are all immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants.
Today, The Ice Maiden had a sitting US Senator ARRESTED for asking a question at a press conference. Where does this end?
Stay ‘tooned!

Bob T this will not stand Panda
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.
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,

Bob T I’ll be out protesting Panda
Do you think it will distract them for trying to hunt down Ping to deport him? Hmmmm…probably not.
I’m sure in the long run, nothing good will come of this rift between Mittens and E-Loon, but it has provided some entertainment value, am I right?
Meanwhile, our story continues!
For those who have joined us since my trip to China in 2017 (was it REALLY that long ago???) Ping Ping was a real panda that I met in china. Such a sweet bear! I decided that Bob T would bring him home, and he joined the pandas in The Panda House and became a beloved member of the panda family.
Who knew that you had to get permission to take a panda out of China?
KEEP PANDA-ING ON
Bob T I’m not sure how much more I can take Panda
Out in the real world (I’m really starting to dislike that place very much) ICE and DHS are ramping up the awfulness. Grabbing a high school student off the streets in Texas; invading a restaurant in PanDiego and handcuffing the entire staff, then fending off the concerned community with tear gas and flash bangs; swarming a construction site and arresting anyone who looked like a migrant; and causing a Southwest flight to land, then coming on board in full riot gear and searching a passenger, then taking them off in handcuffs.
Is it any wonder that the real world has come to The Panda Chronicles? I don’t like to upset the pandas or you, friends to bears. But we cannot look away. Whether we feel physically able to be on the front lines is something only we can decide. But we should not look away, and we should let our legislators know how we feel about this.
Be the Bear!
Bob T we will resist Panda
I know that many of you think of the Panda Chronicles as a safe haven. Oh sure, we make fun of Mittens and his evil spawn and minions, but with times being what they are, sometimes the most troubling nooz stories won’t stray from our thoughts.
I know that some of you might have a hard time with this story. I’m not sure where it goes and I will do my best to give it a happy ending, unlike so of many of the stories we are hearing about, not to mention the ones that are not as high profile so as to get a lot of coverage.
The Mittenv2.0 regime claimed (a lie, we know) that he was only going to deport the most hardened criminals. But that is not what is happening. People who are neighbors. People who are co-workers. People who have built lives and families and businesses are among those who are getting swept up in this cruel version of The Hunger Games.
This story started forming in my head a few weeks ago, and it wouldn’t go away. We need to not look away from this humanitarian crisis within our own borders.

Every day brings a new atrocity, a new incursion against integrity, against propriety, against the country, against the Constitution. Firing of the Librarian of Congress. Another fighter jet sliding into the sea. Another day of chaos at another airport.
The list goes on and on and on.
Now Elmo’s goon squad sent another email demanding daily accounting of where all the federal employees are working from.
Surely you don’t think the zoo is exempt, do you?
That QB is quite the corker, isn’t she? Queen Bee indeed!

Bob T down with flying monkeys Panda
Can one’s status as an icon be revoked? As Pinky might say…
Along with all the spam that shows up here in what I can only identify as possibly Russian, and all the pitches to improve my SEO ranking, I got a new one today. This one was an opportunity to split $11 million dollars due to an “unclaimed inheritance.” Sigh…I guess there are people who will fall for that kind of thing, helpfully sending off their banking information, etc, etc. For all I know, this is what E-loon’s flying monkeys are doing after rifling through all of our personal information.
Oopsie. I deleted it. No millions for me, I guess.
And then there is the little issue of in addition to burning the country down, Mittens wants to throw himself another military parade…
Good times, eh?

Bob T will I be deported too? Panda
it’s really kind of amazing how nonchalant everyone in F45 2.0 is over the mishandling of sensitive, maybe classified information. not surprising of course, (can you say boxes of classified documents in a public bathroom?) especially from the butter emails party, but here we are.
can you imagine how upset they’d be to realize that someone in china was listening into their calls/text chats?
Huzzah for Wisconsin, electing Justice Susan Crawford to their Supreme Court, despite elmer moose’s blatant attempt to buy the election. and get a load of his whinnying about how it was probably bought by George Soros for the libs. I’m still waiting for my 2020 checks! Huzzah for Cory Booker talking for over 25 hours about all that is going on and what people are suffering from F45’s rampaging about the government.

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!
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 hope you enjoyed this romp down memory lane!

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!
“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
