Day 14 ~ 31 Days of Pandas

Whew! We survived Friday the 13th (not to mention the marathon hearing in the House Judiciary chambers.) To be honest, I did not watch or listen to that hearing. My capacity to listen to the republican naysayers yelling about how this was all totally unfair and besides, nobody can impeach the “president” except for the “president”!!! Otherwise it is a COUP!!!!

Yeah, um…no.

So, I’m getting ready to watch the entire House vote on impeachment, and to take to the streets the night before! Don’t forget to call or email your Rep in Congress and tell them what you think, whether you are for or against impeachment. (Not that anyone reading THIS blog is against it, but hey, I’m willing to listen to calm, well reasoned arguments *)

*provided you have actually read the Constitution and what it has to say about impeachment and the respective powers of the executive and legislative branches of government,

Meanwhile, here are some pandas to lift your spirits while we wait…

sweet!

You left the panda kindergarten alone with my house?

Day 13 ~ 31 Days of Pandas

Day 13…Friday the 13th…could we be any unluckier? Wait! Step away form the TV or Radio!

Time to forget about the great National tragedy for a few minutes while we join Mr. Wu, Bee the Bear, and all the rest of the gang for the exciting conclusion of …

It’s a WUnderful Life!

You won’t like this, Mr Wu!

Day 12 ~ 31 Days of Pandas

We are ready for episode two, of our latest Holiday (instant) Classic, Mei Xiang’s Nightmare Before Christmas! And yes, we are using the It’s a Wonderful Life/Christmas Carol/Wizard of Oz trope of the character dreaming of a different world than that in which they inhabit. So what if it’s a cliché? It works!
How will it end???

I guess you’ll have to wait and see!

The nightmare begins…

Panda On!

Day 11 ~ 31 Days of Pandas

We are more than 1/3 of the way through 31 Days of Pandas! How can we stand the excitement? Maybe we should sit down and have a cupcake or three, till we regain our equilibrium.

Meanwhile, while I have some cuppycakes, let’s watch that other holiday classic, It’s a Wunderful Life!

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.

Wu is a good bear at heart….

What part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!

Oh dear! Mr. Wu is getting a rude awakening! Tune in on Friday for the rest of this Holiday Classic, It’s a Wunderful Life!

Day 10 ~ 31 Days of Pandas

It’s Day 10 of 31 Days of Pandas!!! Are you feeling extra Pandy yet? Have some more holiday cookies! I promise, you’ll get there!

Meanwhile, the Impeachment Proceedings rage on in DC. HWMNBN is exhibiting nuttier and nuttier behavior. His corrupt minions have all gone full 1984: Nothing to see here! All perfectly normal! If the “president” does it, it’s legal* (*unless he’s a democrat)

So to further distract ourselves, here is the beginning of a brand new, Instant Holiday Classic!!!

As you know, in the tradition of comics such as Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes, my characters will never age or leave home. We know in the real world, this is not the case. There are so many things in the real world (heh) that we want no part of, but what if…

The kids are fraying Mei Xiang’s last nerve…

Panda On!

A Note from the Panda Commerce Division: Socks are arriving at people’s homes and the ooo’s and aw’s are filtering their way back to me. I’m so happy with how the socks turned out, and I’m happy beyond measure how much you like them. I just designed some holiday Pinky socks (with Baby Pinky riding shotgun with Santa Paws) which are available through my shop on Redbubble! You can find them HERE.

Day 8 ~ 31 Days of Pandas

Oh my! Day 8 of 31 days of Pandas is upon us!

Panda Socks are (mostly) all in the post, and some have even arrived! Huzzah! But now, let’s not waste another minute obsessing about whether this is the end of democracy, the beginning of the end for Mittens, or the end of the beginning!

It’s time for the next episode of Pinky in Wonderland!

When we were very, very small…

Why look! Eet ees Bebe Maurice!

Off with her head!

Is that turtle Too Much McConnell? Who needs a mallet to the butt more than he does?

Uh oh! Will Pinky get convicted? Tune in Tomorrow for the exciting conclusion of Pinky in Wonderland!

And because it ’tis the season….even more relevant than when I wrote this in 2017

Oh tidings of treason and greed.

Panda on

Day 5- 31 Days of Pandas

It’s Day 5 and Pinky is back!!!! Unfortunately for her, so are the Meihems, and they made a list, checked it twice, and brought it along so they could be sure that they didn’t forget any of Pinky’s crimes! And there are a lot of them!

I’m making a list, and it’s really big…

Not even Pinky is above the law. And if SHE isn’t, then Mittens sure as heck isn’t either!

Panda on!
Be the Bear!
Hand over that Cuppycake!

Day 4- 31 Days of Pandas

It’s Day 4 of 31 Days of Pandas! The panda socks have arrived, and I’m going to spend this evening  packing and organizing (and then watching movies and felting pandas!) Tomorrow there will be another new ‘toon and then on Friday, there will be more from Pinky in Wonderland.

The post about the lions that ate the rhino poachers showed up on Twitter this week, so I thought that today’s encore presentation could be this series from The Animal Justice League!

Karma is a bitch, isn’t it?

Ooooooo-oooo-oooo-we have food tonight…

Here kitty kitty…nice kitty…

“We just want to talk!”

and then there was this story…

Limpopo

What goes around, comes around.

You just can’t trust crocodiles.

Day 3 – 31 Days of Pandas

You knew it had to happen sooner or later: Pinky would declare herself above the law! It was bad enough that Mittens did it, now Pinky is getting her inner criminal on!

So what if pandas are endangered! Does that mean they are above the law?

Obeying Pinky is not in the Consditooshun!

Be the bear and Buy Stuff with Pandas!

My annual note about Panda Commerce:

I started writing these ‘toons in early 2008, after reading an article in the Atlantic Magazine about the Panda ranches in China. I did not know where this compulsion to draw pandas was going to take me, I just knew I had to draw them. And so I drew, and eventually I started this website.

Because one of the reasons I started drawing panda ‘toons was because I was depressed because the economy had crashed and no one was buying art, it was important to me that this panda portal would be forever free to anyone who wanted to read my ‘toons. If they could help me, well, maybe they would cheer up other people who needed to be cheered and might not have the resources to subscribe to something as silly as panda satire.

So here we are, 11 years later! I still keep this blog and the archives available and free to to all. I do, however, spend time and resources drawing these toons and keeping them here for you. And so, I have run several Kickstarter campaigns, I now have a page on Redbubble where you can buy things with pandas on them, and my first non-Kickstarter Sock project was a big success. Buying things with my pandas on them, through me, Kickstarter, or Redbubble helps to support my work with Panda Satire.

My ‘toon collections, which are all available on Amazon,  also help to keep me in ink and paper. I hope eventually to get my graphic novels published through traditional publishing, but that is kind of the long game. For those who really want something special, I do sell my original ‘toons, once they have been published in a book.

For those that have the means and inclination to buy things with pandas, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those who don’t, I hope you’ll keep coming back to read the new ‘toons, comment on the goings on of Pinky, the Meihems, Bubba, and all the rest of the pandas. Art is not art until it has been seen and appreciated. Everyone of you are welcome here. It wouldn’t be nearly so much fun without you!

Panda on! It’s time for 31 Days of Pandas!!!!

Day 2- 31 Days of Pandas

Day 2 of 31 Days of Pandas brings us the next 5 installments from that holiday classic…

Pinky in Wonderland!!!

(For episodes 1-5, look HERE!)

Well dis is a pickle an’ a half!

It would be better with a little salt and balsamic vinegar, but not bad!

We know just how you feel, Pinky. We feel the same.

What could be behind that door? Stay tuned, panda fans!

And what magical place has Pinky found, as she opens the tiny door?

Tune in tomorrow for an all new ‘toon starring….Pinky! (What were you expecting?)

Panda on, everyone!

And remember! Buy Stuff with Pandas!
