This has not been a great day, woke up with a headache. Not the headache in DC, this one a bit more localized. So I’m going to dive into the archives for some ‘toons from Septembers past!
THIS is your brain on pandas. Any questions?
Our humble beginnings!
Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.
And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…
And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!
somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?
We’re waiting…*tappity tap pity tap*Mittens is really back.
Sigh….He is back and we wish he would leave.
Well, that’s our dive into the archives for today! I’ll try to track down Frank and Mikey and see where they are on their trip to Brooks Falls for the 2025 Fat Bear Contest! Life is a laugh a minute, is it not?
Be the Bear Bob T this is why we can’t have nice things 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!
Be the Bear Bob T better late than never Panda
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!
Of course now, The Panda House, at least as regarding Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie, is more of a magical concept than an actual place, since now Binky Li and QB live in the REAL Panda House. But in my mind, Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie will always live in that Panda House with their Mommee and Daddy (MX: Oh, thanks a LOT!)
Since Pinky’s birthday (Pinky: a BIG nashunal holiday!!!) is on Saturday, We will unveil Pinky’s new “Starter Pack” image today, along with a link to one of her products on RedBubble, the place that I make my designs available on stuff you can buy for your very own. It’s a fun way to support Panda Satire! (Ask and mebbee you will receive!)
But since today is Bikkie’s actual birthday, we must (we must, we must!) share some of our favorite snippets of stories about Bikkie, and of course, his beloved Mister Poppee!
Happy Bearday, Biscuit!
I guess all the pandas are going to want their own Starter Packs. Watch for them through the fall. I have so many ideas*.
Be the Bear Bob T *well, if we survive that is, Panda
A Panda Chronicles faithful reader shared this little snippet of a Meta A.I. reaction to my post of my “Fat Bear Week” Starter Pack. I thought it was kind of funny, but your mileage may vary. Here it is for your enjoyment/edification/outrage or whatever:
“Bob T Panda’s post suggests they’ve created something new, but details are scarce. The reactions indicate 57 people engaged with the post: 16 likes, 27 loves, and 14 haha reactions. Given the enthusiastic response, especially with 27 loves, it’s likely something creative or meaningful. Without more context, it’s hard to say what exactly it is, but it seems people are impressed or entertained. I’m here to help with a wide range of topics, from answering questions and providing information to generating texts and ideas. I can assist with creative tasks like writing stories or brainstorming, offer insights on various subjects, or simply chat about everyday life. What specific aspect of my work would you like to know more about?”
I could definitely add some editorial comments to Meta’s A.I. B.S., but I’ll leave that up to you.
Yes, I am working on more ‘toons about PING-GATE (Thank you Aunty Loosilla!) but it’s another busy week, with delivering art work to Seattle on the agenda, so here are some relevant ‘toons from the archives.
Mittens finally has a corrupt enough cabinet to give him the green light for his big boy military parade, but this is not the first time he asked for it…
Do we HAVE to go?
A bear can dream…
We are 8 years down the road, but this hasn’t changed. It’s all too real now
Things are about as real as they can get.“We just want to talk!”The daily Hate (George Orwell got it right)
In 2020, the National Parks were shut down because of the pandemic. Now, there is a more sinister plan at work. The parks have been decimated by the firing of park personnel, and so now they are going to try to sell off OUR public lands.
It was better when the animals took over.
Be a wild thing!Wild thing, I think I love you!
I’ll be back next week with more from PING-GATE!
Be the Bear Bob T can I have another Bootini? Panda
That’s right! Pinky has entered the chat! If Pinky can’t fix this, nobeary can. After all, Pinky has a secret weapon: Princess Pinky Junior.
Sending out a big thanks to all who came out on Saturday to say: NOPE! NO KINGS! Unofficial estimates are 12.1 MILLION people came out across the country and not only in typical Democratic strongholds. Keep the pressure up!
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.
Nobody could resist Frank or Mikey!This is an even worse assault on bears than that bumper sticker was!I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.
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, Be the Bear Bob T I’ll be out protesting 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 think I may have discovered the origin story for why Canada is not pleased with us…
Bubba: but why should I be in trubble?I’ll talk! I’ll talk!Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”uh oh…Um…I think Pinky has Daddee wrapped around her fuzzy little paw. Just saying.Ooooh! Did Daddee actually yell at Pinky?What do you mean you left a note saying they are at my house?Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?
Of course, there must be an epilogue…
There may be political concussions!
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?
Can one’s status as an icon be revoked? As Pinky might say…
Dis! will! not! stand!
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…
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?
let’s find out, shall we?
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.
