What Were We Doing 10 Years Ago?

Leave a reply

The 2016 primaries were well underway. F45 had not yet become the GOP nominee. Hillary and Bernie were slugging it out. We did not entirely realize the abyss that loomed before us. The worst possibility, we naively thought, was yet another Bush in the WH.

Innocent times… Bubba was making his public debut, Mittens was oozing towards transforming politics for the worse.

Let’s see what was in the archives in the early months of 2016…

See? I told you it was broken!

Remember when the only points of tension between us and Our Neighbor to the North was when Pinky “borrowed” the twins from Toronto?

Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?
“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”
Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!
Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?
There may be political concussions!

And then there were the debates…

“You are all Losers!” – Mittens the Cat
Pinky is beginning to look positively presidential!
“This is not a loser tail!!!!!”
Poof!

It is really a sad state of affairs to see how relevant these ‘toons are, and how much worse things have gotten 10 years in, even with the 4 year respite under Biden. I can’t believe we are now in a pointless, destructive war, with so many civilian casualties already, and surely more to come.

I hope these ‘toons take you out of the madness for a little while. If only Pinky really COULD Poof Mittens…

War. What Is It Good For?

Leave a reply

It’s good for nothing. That’s what. well, at least ICE Barbie got smacked down, although they gave her a consolation job (“I wanna keep my plaaaaaaane!!!”)

Meanwhile…

My need to be outside bludgeoning nature into submission has cut into my ‘tooning time, so it’s another trip to the archives to try to cheer ourselves up!

…and due to the International women’s day strike of 2017
What a perfectly charming cottage! I wonder who lives there…
In a cabin in the woods…
These guys are so full of themselves!
unhand…um…unpaw that cuppycake!
…and she ate the just right cuppycake all up!
unauthorized search and seizure is SOOOO tiring!
UNHAND MR. BUN THIS INSTANT!
Is this episode exciting? you bet it is!
The discovery of the terrible crime in the pandas’ house…
And now, for some alternative facts!
Pandas are very misunderstood, in so many ways….
What a lovely day for the 3 pandas to relax at home!

Can you guess what happened between episode 12 and the finale?

It never ceases to amaze me, how I can dip into the archives on a random date from 9 years ago, and find something relevant to the current nooz. The good nooz for today, is that ICE Barbie has been fired from running the entire DHS, although she appears to have received a consolation appointment.

Of course no matter how much hot sauce or honey you used, none of the current regime criminals would be very tasty.

Guess What Happens This Weekend! The End of Daylight Losing time!

Leave a reply

Did I see a news thing that British Columbia is going on Daylight Savings time all year?

spring back, fall forward?

Of course, then this ‘toon will make no sense.

More from the Archives….

Archie, is that you?
How IS this different from Pinky’s normal bossiness?

And let’s not forget it’s Panda Scout Cookie Time!!!

Princess Pinky Bao Bao…what have you done now?
Time to call in …Inspector panda!

I’ll have six boxes of Boo-Mints!

Inspector Panda is on the job!
“Hello, Bai Yun? this is Lun Lun…about that detective you suggested…”
…of course Boo-mints are pretty good too.
Will the twins get a merit badge for their road trip? will Lun Lun fess up to where the girls are? will Inspector Panda get a clue, or at least more twitter followers. Stay tuned!
Oh, Pinky…what have you done?
Howdy, Mr Kitty, kindly tell us where a tired old cowpoke can get a boo beer and a cuppycake.

I hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of one of my favorite stories! There is way too much going on in the world and my concentration is kinda kaput.

I hope this gets you through till next time!

More from our Olympics Archives!

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?

The Winter Olympics are Happening and I’m too Busy Watching Ice Dancing to Draw!

But the good nooz is, I have lots of Pand-Olympics ‘toons from Olympics past, so let’s get right to them, shall we?

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!
Hey! What are you two doing up on top of the ski jump?

There is something about pandas and ski jumps, isn’t there. Kinda like
pandas on a slide in the snow” on steroids!

Let Pinky be Pinky!
Skate faster, Boo boo!
Four pandas are better than two.
The world swoons….

I hope this was a fun look back at panda participation in Winter Olympics past! Who says pandas aren’t natural athletes?

I know there is a lot of terrible stuff going on right now (let me count the ways…) but we gotta hang in there and panda on. I hope this visit to the Panda Winter Olympics helps you make it through the day.

There is a Whole Lot of Underbussing Going On!

Well, I got all involved in a printmaking project and so did not finish today’s planned ‘toon, but we have a choice selection of ‘toons from Mittens first reign of terror that are sufficient unto the day, whatever the means!

Our favorite grizzlies are doing “The Bus”!
Oh no! There are no pandas in this cartoon!
A bear can dream, am I right?
This makes perfect sense to me!

It is a sad state of affairs that these ‘toons are both relevant and not as bad as things are now. I hope you are able to hold things together and keep voicing your truth. I am trying and sometimes am even successful.

Bob T what is the sound of one paw clapping Panda

More Bears In the NooZ!

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)

Encore Presentations for the Holidaze!

2 Replies

Between power outages last week, an overwhelming urge to get some deep cleaning and weeding out of stuff done, I have not made any new ‘toons these last two weeks. But the archives are full of holiday favorites, so I am going to share them with you this week and maybe next week, well, we’ll see about next week.

Who can forget the first time Pinky got to play in the snow?

And it was ever thus….

And when the Meihems came to visit…

Meihem, not Mayhem.

Or Pinky’s first appearance in the Panda-lympics games?

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!

Well, this next one isn’t particularly winter themed, but it is one of my all time favorites, and Bob IS wearing his winter scarf!

See? I told you it was broken!

I hope your holiday celebrations are everything you wish them to be. Me? I’ll be home tending to this, that, and the others, and singing along to your favorite holiday song!

‘Toon in Thursday for our annual replay of the 12 days of Crispmoss! I hope everyone is ready to sing along with Pinky!

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!
It wasn’t me!
A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!
Let’s go fly a kite…

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

uh oh.
I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!
Silly old bears!

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.

Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…
Bikkie has a name!!!!
Once upon a time…

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