Apologies for my Absence Yesterday

The problem with being a generally responsible person is, that when you flake off, everyone thinks something terrible happened. Nothing terrible happened. I just was having a kind of flaky couple of days, having recently returned from 2 weeks away, and then going to a two day workshop (which was a 3 day excursion in order to get there on time.)

I will have a new ‘toon for tomorrow. I thought about staying up late Monday night to finish, but all things considered, what with my high stress level the closer we get to the final voting day, I decided it would be better to go to bed and just…miss a day.

DID I MENTION EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR BALLOT WAS RECEIVED IF YOU VOTED BY MAIL OR DROP BOX????

I mean…TFG keeps blasting out more hatefulness and racism and misogyny and Elmo husk says things like “Donny is going to put me in charge of the economy” and Roadkill Man is going to be in charge of health and food safety.

I DO NOT FEEL SAFE!!!!

Sigh…and then at one of his Reichstaad moments, TFG says something like “Hey have you heard about this one cool trick with Congress to over throw the election that no one wants you to know about but I can’t tell you because IT’S A SECRET! HEE HEE HEE!”

FFS

Here’s one of my favorite Bikkie ‘toons to tide you over till tomorrow.

I’m really hoping I get my wish.
Stay strong everyone.

Tonight’s the Night!

It’s Day 4 at the DNC Convention! Is tonight the night Pinky gets the nomination, or is there someone else waiting in the wings?

I gotta say, contrary to what you might think (or what you might have seen if you were masochistic enough to watch the RNC hate fest) the DNC Convention has been inspiring.

It has inspired hope
It has inspired patriotism
It has inspired JOY

It is time to do the work: check your voter registration. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about the stakes.

Considering, one month ago, I had never heard of Tim Walz. Tim Walz is the coach, the dad, the Vice President this country needs. His can do Minnesota spirit, his kindness, his compassion, his willingness to do the work to help his neighbors & heal the country are something I had lost hope of seeing in American politics.

I am seeing a much more comprehensive picture of who VP Kamala Harris is: what she has done, what she stands for, what she FIGHTS for. I believe she fights for us. I believe she has the compassion that can help heal our troubled country. I believe she has OUR interests at heart, and not her own personal gain.

I am glad to be reminded that there are people who actually want to serve the public & it’s not just the gotcha game played by Jim Jordan & Marge. #AmericaNeedsTimWalz & I hope you’ll join me in putting Walz and Harris in the White House.

Now…who is going to tell Pinky…

Times a wasting! Check your voter registration and VOTE!!!!!

Bears, Bears, Bears!

But not THAT bear!

You know the story I mean. The story that we are definitely not talking about that involves a hit and run bear, a very strange member of a famous political family, and what they did with that bear.

Nope.

We are not talking about it!!!

We would NEVER leave a bear in Central Park!
(Frank: unless it was Josie!
Josie: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY????
Mikey: Um…it wasn’t us?)

Because a story from 2018 recently resurfaced on the inter webs, I thought I’d share this little three part drama with you, for all the New Kids on the Block!

Ooooooo-oooo-oooo-we have food tonight…
Here kitty kitty…nice kitty…

Pandarella Episode 18

Oh boy there has been a lot going on, hasn’t there? Might be one or two things…

But…

I thought it was high time we had another episode of Pandarella!

Just when things are getting interesting….

Bob T is all in for Kamala Panda

We’re Back with Episode 17 of Pandarella!

Because we absolutely need some fairy tales right now!

We’ll rant more about current events in our Thursday episode. Meanwhile, let’s see what Bikkie’s fairy god-pandas have been up to…

Six and Sebben will NEBBER recognize Bikkie in his red panda disguise!

Independence…or Else

I told you a rant was coming…

This has been a really hard week to wrap my head around. First the disastrous commentary on Biden’s debate performance. Granted, the debate was pretty terrible. Biden’s low energy and general demeanor was not ideal. But neither was TFG’s non- stop firehose of lies.

It’s disgusting that the media, particularly the NYT and the pundit class were all baying for Biden’s blood, and at the same time ignoring and minimizing his busy schedule and strong, stirring speeches at these events (G-7! D-Day! Major fundraisers in NY and CA! President stuff!) and completely ignoring the lies of a 34 times convicted felon who lies more than he breathes.

The only newspaper that had the guts to say, “Hey, maybe the guy who has been convicted of 34 felonies, stole national nuclear secrets and tried to over throw an election…maybe HE should step down,” was the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Honestly, I don’t know if he should step down or not. Only Joe Biden knows, and an overwhelming number of primary contest voters voted for him. I can’t imagine the chaos it would cause if he did. I’m against anything that hands the election to You Know Who. If you haven’t read about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, you should at least read some summaries. For starters, they want to replace career civil servants with TFG loyalists. They want a national abortion ban, gutting of all regulations and the agencies that regulate them. You like clean air? too bad. We can’t tell polluting corporations what to do. You think there should be public education? Nope. That’s out. Medicare, medicaid, Social Security: they’re all on the chopping block. But don’t worry. You won’t live long enough to need elder care.

And then there is the “Supreme” Court…

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

On this, the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed, the document that said all men (well, white men, no women or POC need apply) are created equal and no one is above the fucking law, well…the Heritage Foundation Federalist Society Justices, just said, “New phone, who dis?”

In essence they put themselves above the law, as what they laid out seems to have been, “well, we’ll tell you if we think the president has immunity for this or that act, or not.” They opened the door to lawless corruption from the White House, and no way to rein it in. I’m not a historian, but I’ve listened to enough historians in the last several days to know that wasn’t what the authors of the Constitution intended.

I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade or picnic (pass the marshymallows!) I just had to get this out of my head. In the meantime…

Here are some pandas!

The only way out is through, and the only way through is to vote like everyone’s life depends on it. They want us to be demoralized and stay home. Don’t fall for it.

There are BEARS in the Woods?????

Recently the inter webs were all up in arms over the question someone posed: If you were a woman alone in the woods, would you rather run into a man or a bear?

This is one of those if a tree falls in the forest philosophical questions. Naturally many people (dare I say men?) re-interpreted the question to be: would you (a woman) rather get attacked by a man or a bear?

That was NOT the Question!!!

We have called on our own experts on bears in the woods to answer the question.

Bob wasn’t really on assignment (before you ask) he just didn’t fit in the panels with Frank and Mikey!

Oreos and Bears and Pandas, Oh My!

Ya know, I thought about doing something about the trial today, and then I thought, “nah…I don’t want to jinx it by assuming you know who would be found GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY,” so instead I planned this nice little ‘toon about Oreo, the Oreo stealing bear, and THEN, what happens at like 5 AM yesterday morning, my text messages start blowing up with nooz of Binky Li coming to Washington DC, so this time procrastinating worked to my advantage, because I could work the arrival of Binky Li and his girl fren into the ‘toon.

So here ya go! I’m pretty sure Nixon’s ghost will pop in next week to gloat over TFG’s 34 COUNT GUILTY VERDICT.

There will be champagne popping and dancing in the streets tonight. Hopefully the gun totting minions of TFG will be kept under control. Be happy and stay safe, panda friends. We have two new sets of bears to welcome later this year!

Enjoy some Oreos and milk and no double dipping!

Episode 8 of Pandarella! Things go from bad to WORSE!

We are back with the next episode of Pandarella! and yes, things are not going well for Bikkie. And yes, things are about to get worse.

Deal with it.

Would I be wrong to think that Six and Sebben are enjoying their roles as mini villains?

Coming up on Thursday (or maybe Friday, we’ll have to see, won’t we?) a hard hitting NooZ story about the Woodland Park Pookies (as heard on NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!)
