Oh Yeah…Time To Celebrate Our Favorite Panda Icon

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??????

apologies to Mr. Rothkopf by dragging him into this debacle. No harm, no foul, right? Your sister likes me.

So let’s revisit some of Pinky’s best (?) campaign moments through the years, as we prepare to celebrate her birthday!

Pinky, please do not get your brother all wound up!

Aren’t you already in enough trouble, Pinky?

“Just run along and put these brochures where people will see them!”

You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?

Pinky: first you tell me I CAN’T cubpaign in da zoo, now you won’t let me LEAVE!!!

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

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

We are moving into high Birthday Season for the National Zoo-born bears and you know what THAT means!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BISCUIT!!!!

Pinky:…um…wait a minute. what do you mean BISCUIT??? isn’t my beardy first?

Well, actually it isn’t! Your birthday isn’t until the 23rd! Bubba’s is on the 22nd, and Bikkie’s is on the 21st.

Pinky: hmmmph. dis. will. not. stand.

Bikkie: yoo shut up!

You might remember Frank (aka Mister Poppee) and Mikey went on a road trip right before Bikkie’s first birthday…

This one just gets me right in the feels!

Yes, this was one of the early appearances of Princess Pinky Junior!

Wasn’t that heartwarming? Did it help you forget about Mittens for a few minutes? You’re welcome!

Pinky’s Nightmare: A Celebration of Her No. 1 Daughter, Princess Pinky Jr.

It has been something of a dilemma of how to advance the ongoing story of the life of the pandas who grew up at the US Zoos, who have been the mainstay of The Panda Chronicles (Mr Wu: ahem!!!) after all the stories about Mr. Wu, of course. (Mr. Wu: that’s more like it) I mean, how can Pinky be a mother while she is still a self centered teenager? What has transpired is a jumbled narrative that is unmoored in time and place.

It is what it is. Happy Birthday, PPJ!

And so, Princess Pinky Jr. has continued to pop in and out of the ‘toons like an alternate reality. Reality has not been all it’s cracked up to be, after all.

Sad how much things don’t change when it comes to Mittens. They just get worse.

I sure hope Mittens can’t read my thoughts!

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!

Bob T why can’t Mittens just go away? Panda

The days are just too short…what with all the making other art and napping and everything. But here are some more Winter Olympics ‘toons for your enjoyment!

Well that’s it for Pand-o-lympics past! I’ll keep working on some new ‘toons for this year, even though the Olympics (the real ones, any way) are almost over! But what is time to a panda?

While we should not forget the violence and criminal behavior on the part of Mittens supporters of January 6th 5 years ago, we do need to reward ourselves for surviving through it with the ongoing antics of Frank and Mikey, our favorite bears!

Of course, there is always the possibility that we won’t survive the present clusterfuck, but at least we’ll go down laughing and thinking of Stephen Miller being chased by bears! Wouldn’t that be special?

and because it is the 5th anniversary of January 6th…

If we don’t stand for justice, we stand for nothing.

Thank you for bearing with me (get it? bearing?hee hee)

It’s Day 4 of our Encore Presentation of Beary Poppins, and the Grand Finale!

Bikkie has his Bikkiesaurus outfit, Beary Poppins has “escaped” (with mommee Mei’s help) from the clutches of Six and Sebben…what else could possibly go wrong????

Let’s find out, shall we?

Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz Climo

I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!

A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!

Let’s go fly a kite…
Nope, nothing to see here!

I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!

I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins. It was so much fun for me to remember what a Little Miracle our Bikkie was in that year when we needed him so much.

There is a lot of terrible things happening right now and I know it is hard to be brave. But the only way out of this is through it and we have to be brave a while longer.

Making art and panda ‘toons is what allows me to be brave and keep going. Right now, the wind is howling, literally as well as metaphorically. I will keep keeping on as long as I can, and I hope you’ll be here with me. Let’s keep the magic of this season alive.

Bob T I believe in little miracles Panda

Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…

I’d forgotten that it was during Beary Poppins that Bikkie got his dinosaur outfit! Beary Poppins is the gift that keeps on giving!

Hot cocoa with whippy cream and liddle marshymallows? Check!

Let’s get this show on the road!

This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?

Beary Poppins has arrived! Is there any cake? It’s been a long flight!

I wonder why no one else applied for the job!

I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.

Uh oh…The Mayhems and Six and Sebben are about to enter the chat. What could possibly go wrong? I guess we’ll fine out tomorrow!

Bob T I wonder what happens next Panda

Some people (those people with no magic in their souls) might wonder how Pinky, as the parent of Binky Li, appears to be the same age as her snookums, as do her brothers, and to them I say, beats me! I just work here!

Meanwhile, it’s a little late in the day, so I’ll just leave you here!

Just a reminder there are fun things to get over at Redbubble (with pandas on them!) and they seem to be having a sale right now!
