well! I wonder what happens next? ‘Toon in next time and find out!

Bob T hey where is my invitation Panda
As I finish up my work for my upcoming show, I find I need to lean on the archives a little bit more. Of course that means you get a BUNCH of ‘toons instead of just one, so not all bad!
Let’s see what bubbles to the surface…
sigh…if only…
Didn’t anyone tell Pinky if you have to cheat, you’re not winning? Hmm…
Can you blame him? Who doesn’t love ice cream?
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives!
Be the Bear!
Bob T pass the ice cream Panda
Sorry, it’s been another crazy busy week, but I’m making progress on exhibition stuff, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more relaxed week next week. Hahahahahahahahaha!
Since we are coming up on Mr. Wu’s birthday season next month, I thought I’d share one of the Mr. Wu Stories, with more coming in the next couple of weeks. I can’t believe he’s going to turn 14 this July!!!! That does not seem possible.
Here is one of Mr Wu’s early encounter with the Panda Kindergarten…
Well, I hope you enjoyed Mr Wu’s big adventure!
More to come next week!

Bob T Wu Bear’s biggest fan Panda
Another archive dive today because I went outside, had fun, and took a nap this weekend. Hopefully I will finish what I started on for today, on Thursday! Still deep in the getting ready for my show trenches, but it will be done in the not too distant future!
Bill Watterson remains one of the guiding lights for cartoonists of this era. I thought it would be fun to share this whole story line from the archives. Calvin and Hobbes was a force to be reckoned with, and still is to this day.
I’m sure I will get something new done…eventually. Meanwhile, paintings are happening!

Bob T I’d rather be goofing off Panda
BTW, I have finally unearthed my work station in the felty studio and probably late summer or early fall start making some more things.
Sad how much things don’t change when it comes to Mittens. They just get worse.
I think this was when they went on their first vacation to Alaska after moving in to the Panda House.
Oddly enough, even in 2026, Mittens STILL hasn’t accepted the results of the 2020 election.
The Shadow Docket, which is still being abused, still kinda scary!
Well, that’s our round up from the archives for this week. And remember, all the bad stuff that’s happening? We told you so! Sigh…maybe things will be better next week!
Be the Bear
Bob T why can’t Mittens just go away? Panda
Sigh…another edition of ZooNooZ ripped from the headlines…kinda.
Kind of makes you wish we weren’t living in an alternative reality, or that we WERE living in one, where all the people who could do something about it, WANTED to live in a functional country, instead of inside a clown car of malignant incompetents.

Bo T Don’t call him Flipper Panda
Once again we take a trip through the archives to see what we were doing in previous years this month!
I bet it was Frank and Mikey, who we hadn’t met yet in May of 2018.
And then one more from the animal justice league!
It’s amazing what you can get from Acme, isn’t it?
These ‘toons brought to you in preparation for more from Pinky’s twins, Four and Five, and why they are the way they are.
I hope these ‘toons from the archives have brought even a momentary smile to your faces. Remember: Mittens and his minions WANT you to feel bad, forget joy, feel hopeless! Be like Pinky! (MX: well, not exactly like Pinky…) and don’t give up in advance. Remember, it makes them mad when you laugh at them.

Bob T looking on the pandy side Panda
In case you forgot the first part of this story, Mehitabel and Bob were reporting on an “incident” where some trophy hunters got…um..smooshed by some elephants. I guess what goes around, comes around! This is from a couple weeks ago.
Here’s the first ‘toon:
Things continue to get worse in the Mittens regime. All we can do is…um…everything you can think of to keep democracy viable. Vote! Write letters! Call your reps! March! And make art, laugh, and don’t forget!
Be the Bear
Bob T don’t believe the lies Panda
It’s Thursday and that means it’s time to take a little dive into the archives and see what we were thinking about during May of years past.
No matter how random I try to be when choosing ‘toons, many of them are extremely relevant to current events:
The aftermath of the Canadian Cubby Caper…
Boycotting The World Cup Games? Maybe International Competition Level Cookie Balancing might be just the thing to replace soccer!
Did I actually balance cookies? I’ll never tell*
*Yes, I actually did.
I was looking for this ‘toon a little while ago!
I hope today’s trip down panda memory lane distracted you from the sh*t show that is going on right now. Hopefully no pandas in China were subjected to visits from F45 or any of his tech bro entourage, particularly The head Wanker at Tesl* and his spawn, Kevlar.
Till we meet again!
Be the Bear
Bob T I’m not sure how much more of this I can take Panda
Ya know, we can always count on Nixon’s Ghost to point out that Mittens is FAR worse than he ever was. It is also useful to remember that at least 38 people from the Nixon administration were convicted for various forms of electoral hanky panky after the whole Watergate thingie. And a bunch of them actually went to prison, too.
Be the Bear!
Bob T guilty guilty guilty Panda
