Many of you guessed who Pinky’s visitors were. If you didn’t guess from the knocking and doorbell, you need some remedial Panda Chronicles reading. Go ahead…do it now, I’ll wait…
Just kidding!
Yep! SIX AN’ SEBBEN ARE IN DA HOUSE!!!!
On a more serious note, My heart goes out to all those in or with family in L.A. Fire is devastating…no way around that. Those of you who (like me) have lived through a house fire, knows how life shattering it is, sometimes literally. But I can’t imagine the magnitude of this fire. I hope the death toll is not as high as the Paradise fire. But these big fires… there is no way anyone can imagine this.
There was some good news today: the Supremes declined to let Felon45 off the hook as regards his sentencing in the Manhattan business fraud case. And the 11th circuit says the report from Jack Smith can be released. We will hope that the purloined documents/espionage case report will be released soon too.
I hope you all are safe and well Keep panda-ing on Bob T Panda
Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!
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…Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz ClimoI 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…uh oh.I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!Silly old bears!
Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!
Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.
Be the Beary Brave Bears Bob T I am a Swifty Panda
I’m trying to ease back a bit and enjoy the quiet of the season and get ready to welcome back some light into our lives.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Like THAT’S gonna happen.
Anyway, I’m gonna do this Encore Presentation in two chunks, for Thursday and Friday this week, then next week (hopefully, ha ha!) back to my regular schedule. Or as regular as things can be, all things considered. anyway, if you want to revisit one of my other holiday classics, (Pinky: starring ME! da only icon you will ebber need!) I did an Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol over on the Substck thingie.
So here we go! Sit back and enjoy Beary Poppins, part one!
Oh boy! Oh boy! A NEW story!!!!I can hardly stand the suspense! Who will play Beary Poppins???A spoonful of frosting makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down!The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!Bears are VERY curious!This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?Frank is off on a new adventure!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.Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?
Well that’s it for today! I’m so glad you’re here with me! ‘Toon in TOMORROW for the final installment of Beary Poppins!
I was inspired by one of my favorite ‘toonists on the inter webs, John Atkinson of Wrong Hands comics. His recent ‘toon on a Christmas movie generator made me think, “I bet I can do this for Panda Satire.”
Have fun with making your own ‘toon plots. Feel free to share in the comments and on the socials!
Be sure to share your ‘toon plots!
Be the Bear Bob T who knew it was this easy? Panda
As are we all. I hope your day is filled with friends and family, as much or as many of them as you can stand. Also pie. There should be lots of pie. I continue to be grateful for all of you, who have chosen panda satire as The Thing That Gets You Through This Mess.
And if you are looking for Panda Satire things as we head in the season of credit card abuse, why not Buy Things With Pandas at my Redbubble shop!
And if you want to be able to read panda ‘toons when we no longer have electricity to read on your computer, may I suggest visiting the Panda Chronicles: The Books page, for links to get your very own copies of my various collections. They have the added benefit of being more organized into their story lines, as opposed to the random/hot off the drawing board way they are posted here. They make great presents too!
But now, one with today’s ‘toon!
That should come in handy, indeed!
Be the Bear and save some pie for me! Bob T wif extra whippy cream please Panda
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.
Panda Solidarity Forebber Bob T is under the bed Panda
While my production goals are somewhat inconsistent these days, here’s what I’m gonna do: When I don’t get new toons done for either Tuesday or Thursday (or both!) I’ll post something that makes me happy from the archives, usually more than one ‘toon, so that’s kind of a bonus, right?
But today, I have the continuation of last Tuesday’s ‘toon, before the awful thing happened.
Huzzah?
Do you think Pinky is going to react well to the NooZ?
Hold your pandas close, Bob T somehow we will get through this Panda
For some reason I didn’t finish today’s ‘toon in time, but I’m on it. Maybe tomorrow?
The Power of the PoofRemember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.Not even CUPPYCAKES????
Honestly, I thought we would not be here again. I am so sad, so angry, so scared, for me and for people I care about. I seriously thought this would not, could not happen. We thought there could not be such a bat shit crazy campaign again by Mittens, against an inspiring, energetic campaign by Kamala Harris. I am afraid for the future of this country, as well as the rest of the world. I’ll be here as long as I still have the resources to keep going.
Yours in Pandas Always Bob T not another reign of terror Panda
Well, this is it. Today is the last day to vote, so I am posting this early so that more people see this. I’m writing this on Monday night (because I actually got today’s ‘toon done before dinner time.)
We had quite the windstorm on Monday, which started sometime in the night. Then it died down for a couple hours before it picked up again from another direction. The power went out for a bit, but it came back on again after a couple of hours at the most, so I didn’t have to put my usual outage tricks into effect. (also I was able to post this!)
Now to distract myself from the day ahead I listening to Taylor Swift (yes really) and switching off to occasionally to the SNL cold open with Kamala Harris and Maya Rudolph. If you haven’t watched this yet, I hope you will. Each time I watch it, I am struck all over again by watching the true joy between Harris and Rudolph… The roar of the crowd when they see Kamala on the other side of the mirror. I mean…I realize it couldn’t have been a total surprise to the audience or crew. I read there had been a few hints. The audience must have had to go through extra security. There must have been a bunch of Secret Service folks. Still, it could have been cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. Each time I watch it (not gonna tell you how many times) I feel the joy radiating off the screen. I hear it in the roar of the crowd that pauses the interaction between Harris and Rudolph.
I don’t know what we are going to wake up to on Wednesday, but the choice seems clear, has always seemed clear to me. Do we want a leader who will cheerfully do the hard work that needs to be done to try to get the country and the world in a better place? Or do we want a mentally and physically collapsing would be dictator who will bring in unprincipled grifters and con men to be his advisors, who are using him for their own purposes? Watch any of his appearances from the last week and tell me that this is someone you would trust the future of your children and grandchildren to.
Please vote for a better future, if you haven’t already. Do it for the pandas.
As you might remember, the whole panda family has moved to China, so that Binky Li and Qing Bao could move to the Panda House. I’m not sure where this story is going, but I’m sure it’s going somewhere.
