Fresh from his triumph when he was named Cubby of the Year of the Universe in the Giant Panda Global awards, The one, the only, the curly furred pink baby panda who has taken France by storm…the entire world has fallen like dominoes in the wake of his unresidabel cuteness. Yes, I’m talking about…
The world swoons….
C’EST MAGNIFIQUE! Oui?
See being the bear!

Just to warn you…You may want to skip ahead to the ‘toons…or maybe not.
…and due to the International women’s day strike of 2017
The times they are a changing back again. To all of us who were around in the late 60’s and early 70’s, all who marched and protested the Viet Nam war, the killings at Kent State, the corruption that brought down the Nixon administration: We thought those days were over.
But they came creeping back in. Self interest. Corruption. The “Me Generation.” we took our eye off the ball and now it has come back and whacked us in the head.
Can I say how scared I am for my friends who are teachers and their students? Arming teachers in the classroom is not the answer. I remember how hard it was to learn when all I had to worry about was whether the mean girls were going to pick on me that day. How do you learn when you think that today might be the day you will die? How do you teach under that threat? I mean, math is hard enough as it is.
For the students who are out there, putting your hearts and minds in the service of stopping the violence: I stand with you. I am so very proud of you. You are the future of this country.
Sad to say, this is even more true than when I wrote it at the end of 2015
Is it any wonder I am now even more “pandy” than I was before?
I think this is an excellent idea.
Maybe Pandas DO have a better idea…..
Mei Xiang and the Zoo Director have gotten their panties in a knot, it seems.
Minion security: you can’t be too careful.
We can definitely use this in Pinky’s campaign….
It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!
This number is unlisted….Needless to say, this is a previous administration. Pinky would never go near the current occupant usurper.
The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?
Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!
Mei puts her paw down…
And this hacking into my title imagery has got to stop!
I thought maybe you all needed a few extra ‘toons today to cope with reality this week. I hear reading panda cartoons is VERY relaxing.
Viva les Pandas!

Yes, in the real world, the winter Olympics will be just about over…the cheering, the crying, winners and losers, all celebrating how sports can bring about whirled peas. Or world peace. Take your pick. But here in Pandyland, the Olympics are just getting going, the Torch Bears have arrived to light the torch (more on that later) and Hockey practice has begun.
Skate faster, Boo boo!
Viva Les pandas!

Since Chinese New Year is nigh, I thought this week’s Fabulous Furry Friday round-up would serve the panda-satire loving public well by revisiting our previous Salutes to Chinese New Year by the panda kindergarten! Huzzah! Let’s get good and ready to celebrate the Year of the Dog!
Huzzah! it’s the year of the Dragon! Still one of my favorites!)
The year of the bunny…..
Oh that panda kindergarten!
It’s the year of the WUster!!!!
Huzzah! It’s The year of Pandas on Horsies!
Look out!!!! Oh, those triplets!
Well, the FIRE part had Mehitabel a little worried, but…
Viva les pandas!
Bob T Panda
I didn’t think so.
In fact, not only was as bad as we thought it would be, it was worse.
Clap Louder

I’m not very good at keeping track of dates (other than my own Birthday Season) so I don’t know exactly when Chinese New Year is, but I did hear through the grapevine that it is The Year of the Dog in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Feel free to let me know what the actual date is! (I know some of you are much better at keeping track of this stuff than I am.) But no matter the actual date! The Panda Kindergarten is ready with their annual Chinese New Year Celebration!!!
How much is that doggie in da window…
Panda on!

For years, I’ve been thinking I needed to write a Groundhog Day ‘toon, and wouldn’t you know, I don’t start thinking about it until…you guessed it, Groundhog Day. This is also the day that I traditionally procrastinate sending out holiday cards until, and then don’t do that either. So sue me. No, don’t! Just kidding!!!! People ask me how I find the time to be an incredibly gifted painter, write hilarious cartoons, and wrestle 5 acres of Northwest woods into submission. The answer is, I don’t do a lot of things that I probably should do, like clean the house and wash the dishes on some sort of regular basis.
To this I say, do you want to have new cartoons to read each week, or would you rather be able to eat off my bathroom floor without contracting a vile disease or swallow a hairball?
And it was ever thus….
Meihem, not Mayhem.
Well, they did hang their coats up.
If I have but one life to live, let me give it for a cuppycake.
And for all you brave souls who listened to HWMNBN’s SOTU address. Congratulations. You are far braver than I am. In truth, by this weekend, I will probably have watched it in tiny bits and pieces that I can endure without running out of the house screaming in terror. I am keeping informed, as best I can, but there are limits to my endurance. I call my Senators and Congressman regularly. I’m trying to bring light into the world through art and humor. And I’m going to watch as many panda videos as I can.
Viva les Pandas!
Buy my new book!
Bob T Panda
Far be it from me to fail to capitalize of the tsunami of exposure by putting the words: The State of the Union in my post today. I will not watch it, I did not watch it, except in little bits and pieces that float up on the inter webs like …um…pieces of toilet paper floating downstream from some faulty plumbing. But because we love to make our thoughts known on things political (well, until they drag us away or 45 so enrages hostile forces that they drop a bomb on us) we offer today…
Clear as mud!
Does the tax plan foisted on us by an uncaring republican congress make any more sense now?
And don’t forget to join all the happy people who have welcomed Pinky into their life via The Pinky Defense! Huzzah! Available via the picture of Pinky’s book on the right-hand column!
Do you want to make Pinky mad? Buy her book before she finds out!
Panda On!
Bob T Panda
Well, it’s time for all Pinky, all the time! How is that different from the rest of the time, you may well ask. Um…I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure it is. Any way, stop interrupting me! I’m trying to get the word out that Pinky’s new book (book 8 of the Panda Chronicles) What does Pinky have to say about all this?
That’s what Pinky would say. and now, to refresh your memory about just what is The Pinky Defense, here are a few ‘toons that are in the book:
Would YOU believe this panda?
Isn’t that the whole point of being presydent? Pinky.
Maybe Mommee Mei might have some influence over Pinky…dream on!
Did you want to rephrase that last statement?
So run, don’t walk, and get your copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 8: The Pinky Defense!
Bob T Panda
Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?
We need a good laugh. really, we do. Things keep going beyond the “now he’s really done it” stage. I think tRump went beyond that “point” on the day he announced his candidacy.
Sigh.
I have not quit resisting, but right now, I think we need a few pandas to show us the way.
Do NOT mess with Pinky and the Meihems!
The Power of the Poof. Oh, if only!
Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.
Can I have EXTRA extra whipped cream?
Um…I’ll try to be funnier next week.
Panda on!
