Yes, Pinky’s Birthday is officially over (say it isn’t so!!!!) but there are So! Many! ‘toons about PINKY!
It is sad, isn’t it, that the current WH resident has taken his legal philosophy from a cartoon panda.
I guess that’s enough of Pinky…at least for now!
Be the Bear
Bob T you can’t ignore Pinky Panda!
This has nothing to do with the fact that I didn’t get a new ‘toon done.
Yes, We are fast approaching Pinky’s Birthday weekend. Actually, it’s ALL the DC panda kids (except Tai…sorry, dude!) birthday weekend. Bikkie on Friday, Bubba on Saturday, and Pinky on Sunday!
But in other political nooz, it looks like Pinky has picked up an endorsement for 2028…
Could this be the endorsement Pinky has been waiting for? Noted political journalist David Rothkopf* seems to think that the zoo would be a better place to find a presidential candidate more qualified than the Secretary of War Crimes. And who could he have meant by “at the zoo” other than our very own American Smifsonian Icon, that perpetual candidate, Princess Pinky Panda??????
So let’s revisit some of Pinky’s best (?) campaign moments through the years, as we prepare to celebrate her birthday!
and then it was worse than we could ever imagine….
We might have some more Pinky ‘toons next week, if I can’t rouse myself to get a new ‘toon done! Stay ‘Tooned!

Bob T please don’t sue me for suggesting you endorsed Pinky Panda
The three youngest kids at the National Zoo were born on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of August! So it only seemed right that the encore presentations this month are all about them! (Pinky: I thought they were all going to be about ME?)
Well, Pinky, I think you can rest assured that even when the ‘toons are not “about” you, they are still ABOUT you, if you know what I mean! (Bubba: oh boy, do wee ebber!)
So let’s see what was happening in August during the applicative years….
I couldn’t resist sharing Bubba’s least favorite ‘toon (and one of Pinky’s favorites!)
It is a sad state of affairs, wherein we realize that even Pinky would have been a better president than Mittens…
Wasn’t that a fun trip down memory lane? Bubba was so cute serving drinks! We’ll be back with a new ‘toon next Tuesday, and some more encore presentations featuring our favorite panda ‘toons from days gone by!
Till next time!
Be the Bear!
Bob T if we close our eyes will “he” just go away? Panda
It was too sunny to finish today’s ‘toon, but at least we already know that PPJ has vanquished the evil Ice Maiden and that Ping is safe. We’ll have a little epilogue next week, but for now enjoy these ‘toons from the archive, and rest easy in the knowledge that I decided not to stress myself out today.
Sigh…happier times, which we really need to remember, right? Keep resisting, keep fighting for truth, justice, and The Way of the Panda.
Be the Bear
Bob T remember the good times 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 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?

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!

Bob T improper ideology are us 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….
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!!!
We are afraid. Honest.
Pinky: you should have voted for me.
Be the Bear
Bob T no one listened to us Panda
Once again, I have not gotten the ‘toon for today done, but it will be ready for Tuesday. As is now my new practice, when other work (or excessive naps) gets in the way of me finishing the days ‘toon in time to get it posted, I will dive into the archives and find a few relevant ‘toons to bridge the gap till next time.
Since HWMNBN (aka F45*) is about to lie about upholding the oath to the Constitution again, I thought I’d share a few ‘toons from January of 2017. It’s gonna be a rough ride ahead. We can’t afford to check out entirely (as much as I would like to,) but we do need to be gentle with ourselves and engage in things that make us happy. I worked most of the day in my studio, and then got close to an hour in my garden before it started getting dark around 5. This is definitely an improvement over getting dark at 3:30.
Just a reminder to turn off your TV and internet on Monday, the 20th, to protest F45’s return to the WH. Nothing will piss him off more than seeing the terrible TV ratings, and to have the streets practically empty.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. But I hope the following photograph from the 2017 Women’s March held in Langley gives you a bit of hope. Despite the fact that many people (I think there were 4 buses full) went into Seattle for the much bigger march, lots of people came out on that sunny Saturday to stand against F45.
*F45 stands for Felon 45
We MUST Panda On!

And reader, her reaction is about what you would expect it to be.
Every once in a while I have a tiny bit of trouble figuring out what the exit line of a ‘toon should be. And sometimes when that happens, a little voice comes down from the universe and tells me what it should be, and sometimes, someone writes a comment, which turns out to be the perfect line, and I appropriate it.
Which is what happened with today’s toon. So thanks, Jeannie!
We are going to need a REALLY big flyswatter.

Pinky has…um…drafted Bubba and Ping to help with her cubpaign. I guess they weren’t as fast as everyone else in their attempted escape.
Darn that ear fluff!
