Don’t judge me.

Joe Biden and Kampala Harris being declared the winners of the 2020 election (sorry, Pinky!) and hope returned to the world.
Then POUTUS (not a typo) returned from the golf course and continued his insane quest to have the election invalidated by lawyers. Fortunately judges to this point are having none of it, and we have some very good lawyers on our side, who are, quite frankly, way better than Mittens’ lawyers. Maybe he should have paid them.
Make no mistake, he can make a lot of trouble before he leaves. But the adults have entered the room and Biden is setting up his transition teams, starting with a very impressive Coronavirus task force. While I am still having nightmares about my house being surrounded by the tRUmp cult, complete with flags and guns, I do feel like the light is starting to show at the end of the tunnel.I have to believe that some form of course correction is in sight.
Courage, my friends.

I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.
There is a bit of a thing on Twitter, making fun of Colludy Rudy’s presser at The Four Season’s Total Landscaping in Philadelphia. Of course I have to join in with a design I put on t-shirts and coffee mugs over at Redbubble.
And as luck would have it, Redbubble is having a sale with 20-60% off site wide (that means EBBRYFING!!!) Sale discounts are good through 11:59 PM on November 12, using discount code: GIFTS60!
Till next time…

The day is here. We have pulled democracy back from the brink of disaster. I keep thinking about how I felt on11/9/2016. I was stunned with disbelief. How could this have happened? And yet, from the moment Trump came down his golden escalator, I had an unquiet rumble sounding in my head and my heart.
But we should take a moment to savor the sudden release many of us are feeling. It’s the feeling you get when you see the car coming into your lane with just enough time to avoid a collision. It’s the feeling you get when you are the last car on the ferry, for the last boat of the night. It’s the feeling you get when a growling dog rushes the fence, and you realize that the fence will hold him, even as you feel the rush of wind and adrenaline.
We have narrowly escaped a future that writers of dystopian fiction foretell, and a past that historians write about 1930’s Germany and Europe. Meanwhile we still have a growing pandemic to deal with. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not magicians. They can not wave a magical wand (sorry Pinky) and poof it away. They believe in science. They will lead with compassion and knowledge. They will listen to the scientists and encourage people to act in their own interest. Maybe without the threat of Trumps rage and instability hanging over them, even red state governors will start acting in the best interest of their constituents.
So be of good cheer! We have vanquished the evil overlord, who would wish to be king. There is still hope for leveling the Senate playing field by winning the two runoff elections in January (Deadline to register to vote is December 7th, in Georgia, so if you live there, please vote!)
This was then:

Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.
This is how we fought the forces of darkness:

Whats a protest without pandas?

Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!

What a lovely day for the 3 pandas to relax at home!

The world swoons….

Guess who’s coming for cuppycakes!!!!

“We are NEVER going to get our security deposit back!!!”

Ruh Roh….

Look who’s here!
And now, for the earthshaking subject of HUGE great importance…COOKIE BALANCING!

And now…going for the gold!!!

Did I mention I broke the world record in cookie balancing?

There are rules here!

The roar of the crowd, the smell of a freshly baked cookie…

Actual balancing cookie!

Will Frank get the job? Oops! I mean Beary Poppins!

I wonder why no one else applied for the job!

Don’t give up hope!

Fabulous Furry Friday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites!
I don’t know about you, but my anxiety is ratcheted up to about an 11. If you haven’t voted yet, the time is now. Unfortunately, with the perverting of Postal imperatives, the safest way to vote is either in person or hand delivering your mail-in ballot. I’m trying really hard to remain hopeful. Some states are reporting that their early voting totals are higher than their total votes in 2016. How many new voters that represents, we won’t know for a while. One thing is sure, there is going to be full employment for election law attorneys.
Since I didn’t have a plan for today’s ‘toons (other than the “Spring Forward, Fall Back” ‘toon) I’m just going to randomly go through ‘toons I published in November for all the years that this collection has been here!
2011: Pandas arrive in Scotland!!!

What could be more scottish than Pandas?
2012: Insider Twinkie Trading

Bob, Bob, Bob…when will you ever learn?
2013: Heh! Mommee plays a trick on Pinky!

Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
2014: Cats and Pandas

No, I don’t think so. Bwahahaha!
2015: Election shenanigans have been going on for a while.

And how did Pinky manage to hack into my computer again?
2016: Seems like such a long time ago, and yet…here we are…

Can I have EXTRA extra whipped cream?
2017: A Halloween Classic!

Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?
2018: The first appearance of Frank and Mikey!!!

Send in the bears!

Helloooooo bears!

I like bears.
I just had to post the whole story about Frank and Mikey ALLEGEDLY eating Justice Kravenklaw… For another most excellent take of the Kavanaugh hearings, I think this is the best!
And finally, 2019: The Bus is coming! Get ready for some serious underbussing!

Our favorite grizzlies are doing “The Bus”!
Panda on (as best you can)

Frank is off on his new adventure, to be the Practically Perfect in Every Way nanny, Beary Poppins, to the Xiang-Tian children! Will Frank be a match for those lovable scamps?
I guess we’ll see!

Frank is off on a new adventure!

Meanwhile, Minch McTurtle and the complicit GOP Senate rushed to a vote to confirm a new, young, extremely conservative SCOTUS Justice, and then went on vacation till after the election, with nary a thought to and more COVID 19 relief packages. Vote them all out! They know they are losing so they took a big 💩on the carpet, on their way out the door.

I just added 3 layer fitted masks to my Redbubble store! Here’s the ;ink where you can search for your favorite designs and see if the masks are available in that design (The formatting did not work for all designs, because of the fitted nature of the masks.) Mask up everyone!
It’s the time of year when little ghosts and goblins go marauding around neighborhoods demanding treats. Alas, not this year, I don’t think. But oddly enough, candy sales are UP! mI have *no* idea why that might be the case.

Trick or Trick!!!!!!!

Darn those Meihems!!!!

“It was just a suggestion”

Okay. That was just WAY too scary.

Ha ha! That Pinky is so clever!

Will Pinky EVER quit tormenting her brother?

trouble…trouble…trouble…It starts with “T” and that rhymes with “P” and that stands for Pinky!

Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!

I can’t believe Bob’s costume didn’t fool anyone!
Panda On!

Pretty scary, huh?
Anyone else getting overly anxious the closer we get to Election Day? No? Just me? Ha ha ha! Yeah, I know. Well, make yourself some cocoa with lots of marshymallows and whippy cream (YES BOTH!!!) and get ready for the next episode of…

This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?
Photos of new felty pandas coming…um…soon!
Be the Bear!
Bob T I voted today Panda
Here we are: two weeks to the final day of voting. Can we even call it Election Day when early and mail-in voting lasts for weeks? No matter. At 8 PM PDT the last ballot will fall and we will see what we will see. While I know we are all hoping for results that night, and a decisive victory for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we might not know that night or for more than a week. We know the craziness of HWMNBN will ramp up, and we will have to endure further.
The only thing that keeps my fragile hold on my sanity is less than 10 pounds of baby panda, my created world of cartoon panda personalities, and of course all of you. Thanks for hanging in there, and for those of you who had to take a break, well, I hope you’ll wander back here at some point.
For now, writing and drawing ‘toons, making felty pandas, and working on a book project (more about that soon) is keeping me lightly tethered to the earth. Winter is setting in here, and the rain and dark are descending.

Bears are VERY curious!
Be the Bear!
Don’t forget to VOTE!!!

The news is more insane every day. Really, if any writer of dystopian literature showed this script to their editor, the laughter could be heard around the world. Kidnap a governor? Murder hornets? An asteroid predicted to pass REALLY NEAR the earth…on Election Day? A “president” with a potentially deadly disease going around to public events?
Oh…

The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!
Panda on!

By the way! new RPG stickers and t-shirts, and mugs and masks over at Redbubble! Huzzah!!!!
