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.
And this is just the nooz of one day.
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.
Our story continues…
Be the Bear!
Bob T we will resist Panda
Oh no….
Then again, they are going to fight their way past three Alaskan brown bears and an army of aunties armed with frying pans to take our Ping? Not freaking likely!
Pookie: FOUR alaskan brown bears!
Josie: I have a little frying pan just your size!
Frank: I might bite them
Mikey: I hope they didn’t eat fish for lunch
I have faith in QB and Binky Li …. I really do.
You should! QB, especially, is quite the smart little panda, and their collective resources (not to mention a family of grizzlies at their disposal) are impressive indeed.
I wonder if Pinky will get into the thick of things here. I wish she could wave her magic wand and make all of “this” disappear for Ping and for all of us. Maybe the SNZ has something to say here? Or perhaps on a benevolent, positive note, the work being done across nations to save pandas will make a difference.
I’m pretty sure Pinky will be getting involved, as will the other Bears in the Hood (Frank, Mikey, et al). To be sure, this is not what we wish the pandas had to deal with, but here we are. Stay ‘tooned and thanks for being part of the Pandamonium.
Sidebar: I love how QB gave Ping her Mr. Bun to hold. And really is a loving and nurturing little bear. You insert the sweetest touches into your art.

This. Will. Not. Stand.
It most definitely will not! Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out how to represent the ICE Maiden, visually. Any ideas?
No kings protest on june 14. Same day as the taco’s birthday parade. Stand up for what we believe in. And it’s not this.
Yes, indeed! I’ll be at my local demonstration. Working on ideas for a new sign!
What if Josie would adopt Ping — will that stop this madness? I’m glad Qing Bao and Binky Li are on the case!
All options are being considered, but first there will be drama and excitement.
