More from the Archives Because That’s Why, OK?

I should probably quit pretending that I can get 2 ‘toons done in a week for right now, but I am ever hopeful. Fortunately I have SO MANY relevant ‘toons from Mittens’ first Reign of Terror that you would hardly know they are re-runs…um…I mean Encore Presentations!

Here are some ‘toons featuring Nixon’s Ghost, who I bet is going to have things to say any day now.

Amazing how relevant this still is 6 years later…

And of course, the Lunar New Year is about to start and it’s The Year of the Fire Horse. We haven’t done a new ‘toon for that (it’s coming, I swear) but here’s who was riding the range 12 years ago when the Horse Year last circled around!

Huzzah! It’s The year of Pandas on Horsies!

I bet Pinky’s girls, Four and Five will be getting ready for their Panda Chronicles Debut with their Year of the Fire Horse Presentation!

Pinky: nobody said anything about FIRE!!!

There is a Whole Lot of Underbussing Going On!

Well, I got all involved in a printmaking project and so did not finish today’s planned ‘toon, but we have a choice selection of ‘toons from Mittens first reign of terror that are sufficient unto the day, whatever the means!

Our favorite grizzlies are doing “The Bus”!
Oh no! There are no pandas in this cartoon!
A bear can dream, am I right?
This makes perfect sense to me!

It is a sad state of affairs that these ‘toons are both relevant and not as bad as things are now. I hope you are able to hold things together and keep voicing your truth. I am trying and sometimes am even successful.

Bob T what is the sound of one paw clapping Panda

Why Did The Plane Turn Around?

6 Replies

So many things coming at us from all angles! And what could be more fun than a bear in a candy shop?

Did you take our little quiz?

Do you want some more options than I had room for on the ‘toon?
How about:
1. Mittens got so mad that the pilot wouldn’t agree to bomb France on the way to Davos, that the pilot said, “Okay! I’m turning the plane around right now if you can’t behave!”
2. The “electrical” problem was one of those “lights on, no one’s home” kind of things
3. Stephen Miller’s coffin latch got stuck and he couldn’t get out when it was time to feed.
4. All the couches on the plane refused to have JD sit on them, and they kept ejecting him.

I could go on…but you probably are wishing I would get on with it and post today’s ‘toon!

So there ya go!

No Room For Bears

8 Replies

Of course, when I say “no room for bears,” I don’t mean here at Panda Satire headquarters. Oh no! I mean that homeowner down in California who objected to an adorable little 500 pound bear moving in under his house.

Here, with the NooZ, is Mehitabel…

There’s a lot going on in the world right now. I thought we might need Frank and Mikey to make us feel better.

We Need More Bears

It’s a heck of a day in the nooz, so I’m going to dig into the archives to give us all a little psychic relief so we can BEAR what is happening in our country.

There are a lot of bad people to eat.

More Bears In the NooZ!

4 Replies

While we should not forget the violence and criminal behavior on the part of Mittens supporters of January 6th 5 years ago, we do need to reward ourselves for surviving through it with the ongoing antics of Frank and Mikey, our favorite bears!

Of course, there is always the possibility that we won’t survive the present clusterfuck, but at least we’ll go down laughing and thinking of Stephen Miller being chased by bears! Wouldn’t that be special?

and because it is the 5th anniversary of January 6th…

If we don’t stand for justice, we stand for nothing.

Thank you for bearing with me (get it? bearing?hee hee)

It’s New Year’s Eve EVE!

2 Replies

I’m working on some new ‘toons, but in the meantime, I did some freehand (no pre-drawing) pandas with this ink brush that I’ve been playing with and want to get better at, so I drew some pandas. I also thought it would be fun to post my favorite New Year’s Eve ‘toon!

And of course, the classic, New Year’s Eve with The Panda Kindergarten!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

I’d like to think that next year will be better, but I have no evidence that will be the case. Even if I fail on timely productions of new ‘toons this week, I’ll still be posting stuff from the archives, of which there are about 15 years worth. Wow! How did that happen?

Anyway, I hope we continue to survive!

Christmas is Sneaking Up On Me…

…much faster than I expected. As such, I think it’s time to run a couple of my holiday classics this week and next, in the hopes I’ll have a little time and space to write a NEW Christmas Classic™️ before the actual week of Christmas. The idea just popped into my head, as all the best ideas do. Well, I guess we’ll see, won’t we?

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this encore presentation of…

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….
Bee the bear tells it like it is
What part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!
You won’t like this, Mr Wu!
Those darn cats!
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!
A bear and his mom…together forever?

I had so much fun re-reading this story and I hope you did too! This was one of my favorite stories to make a Panda Parody. Maybe because I’ve seen the original so many times…

and remember…

PostScript: in case you were wondering, despite the fact that much of Western Washington State is currently suffering severe flooding, Whidbey Island is high and..well, damp, but not under water. We do have the possibility of power outages with the softened ground from all the rain, not to mention some of the bluff areas are probably going to slide. But we are not under evacuation orders and suffering the destruction of the raging rivers over on the mainland. So far we are okay on the island. I hope my western WA readers are safe. check in, okay?
