A Mighty Wind Was Blown’…

Besides the mighty (foul) wind that blew through DC last week, a mighty wind blew through the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday night, which knocked the power out to the entire island. We got reports that we would not have power back till Saturday, which, as you can imagine, was not happy news. BUT!!!! Unexpectedly the power came back around noon today, which meant I could get today’s ‘toon scanned (finally!)

But here we are now! 

You knew I was going to have to comment on this.

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

Buckle up people. I don’t think we have reached safe harbor yet.

Be Brave,
Be kind,
Be resolute

I’d Like You to do us a Favor, Though…

It’s been a long day, filled with revelations, most of which are enough to keep me staring at the ceiling all night.

So I will just leave this here, and perhaps pontificate another day.

Remember a week ago when THIS was the biggest crime he had committed so far?

Stay strong
Stay Safe
Stay Brave

By popular request…

When I posted my earlier ‘toon and opinion/essay, a faithful reader (and personal friend of Pinky’s) referenced a ‘toon, written/drawn after the 2016 election. Another of the panda faithful (as well as a personal friend of Pinky’s) asked if I would re-post it,

So here it is.

day after

Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.

“Hello, 2016? This is 2020 calling…”

Stay safe, panda friends…

We R Endangered.

What a Difference a Day Makes

What is that I see out of the corner of my eye? Is that a ray of hope?

Thank you Stacey Abrams, for all of your very hard work over the last decade, to bring more fairness to voting, both in Georgia, and in the country. You bring us hope for the future. we will try to live up to your example. (Written late Tuesday, before the Wednesday debacle in DC)

But now…we are not quite rid of Mittens yet, are we?*

We shall overcome!

Panda on!

*You Broke it You Bought It

I add this in the wee hours of Thursday, It has been a hell of a day in DC. Our nation’s Capitol, attacked by thugs, deliberately urged on not only at tRUmp’s hate rally this morning, but since before the election, as he told his most virulent supporters not to stand down, but to “stand back and stand by.”

This was no peaceful protest. This was a riot, instigated by the person who would demand our loyalty, allegiance, who would claim for his own all the resources of this country.

Over 350,000 people have died from a pandemic that was in his power to halt. But he chose his own interests (so he thought) over the health and safety of this country’s people. His vile minions broke into the halls of Congress, took selfies in offices that they broke into and ransacked. The defiled our institutions. This was no peaceful sit in. This was a lawless mob.

I am beyond despair, beyond anger. With each beacon of hope-this week from the election of Jon Ossoff and rReverend Raphael Warnock-comes the corresponding backlash of evil toxicity from Donald J Trump. To the Senators and House members who have chosen to follow him down this road of false narratives, I have nothing but contempt. The stain of their rejection of the oath they swore to the Constitution should follow them for the rest of their life. There should be no redemption for them.

I fear for my friends in the DC area. Please stay safe. I have to believe we will get through this, but we will be ever changed, and our country’s reputation will forever be tarnished by these events.

31 Days of Pandas: Day 26 (Unboxing Day!)

Oh dear, this IS awkward! I seem to have left little Bikkie hanging from a kite, high above Beary Poppins and Unka Mikey, along with the rest of the small pandas. And now, I am going to just leave them there, while I spend the next 4 days re-capping our story from the beginning!

So let’s go! Here are the first 5 episodes of Beary Poppins!

Oh boy! Oh boy! A NEW story!!!!

I can hardly stand the suspense! Who will play Beary Poppins???

A spoonful of frosting makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down!

The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!

Bears are VERY curious!

‘Toon in tomorrow for the next installments!

Panda on!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 23!

Oh my! We are galloping downhill to the end of 31 Days of Pandas! It is a fun opportunity to revisit old ‘toons, while adding to the repertoire of new stories with Beary Poppins! I plan to finish up Beary Poppins’ story by years end. Because it has been a bit drawn out, starting on Friday, I will start from the beginning of Beary Poppins and recap all the episodes over the next few days, so if you’ve missed any, you can get caught up before the dramatic finale!

Wait…there’s going to be a dramatic finale?

But now…let’s get our snacks so we can enjoy the finale of Pinky in Wonderland!

The whole truth and nothing but, so help me, Pinky!

Mebbee just a liddle bite of da magical mushroom….

Oh oh! What is happening! The room is spinning and it’s all going dark!

Was it all just a dream?

Mebbee Bubba isn’t going to let Pinky push him around anymore. Yeah. Right.

We hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of Pinky in Wonderland! Be sure to ‘toon in tomorrow for the next episode of Beary Poppins! I’m sure it will lift your spirits!

Be the Bear!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 22

 

What could possibly go wrong between now and January 20th?

How many times do I have to tell you (me) not to ask that question?!?!?!

And now here, with some answers, is the next episode of Beary Poppins!!!

Let’s go fly a kite…

Have you been a good panda?
Bob T I’ve been a very good Panda

Tune in tomorrow for the final episodes of Pinky in Wonderland, and Thursday for the next episode of Beary Poppins! Happy solstice! The days now will commence getting longer (or shorter, depending which side of the globe you’re on!)

 

31 Days of Pandas: Day 21

This is it! The longest night of the year. (which is really saying something after the longest four years of my life!, am I right?) We have more episodes of Pinky in Wonderland, our Feature Encore Presentation coming right up!

So let’s make some Poppy Corn, and get ready for the next episodes 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?

HERE COMES DA JUDGE!

Have you been a very good bear?

31 Days of Pandas: Day 19 ~ Not quite the longest night…

As December winds it’s way to Christmas and the new year, I forget that the days won’t keep getting shorter, but in a couple more days will turn the corner, and even though it is only by a minute or two right now, the days will begin to get longer. Right now, it starts to get dark but 4:15, and on rainy gray days, never really seems to get light at all.

It’s the perfect time for sitting in my warm, well lit studio, and draw pandas!

Of course down in Australia and other points south, they are about to have their longest day, as they reach the summer solstice. I hope they don’t have a repeat of last summer (was it really only less than a year ago?) when bush fires raged out of control.

Here’s looking at you, Kevin:

Do I smell smoke?

And now, for more from our feature encore presentation… Pinky in Wonderland!!

Time to go off to find Mr. Bun!

I’ve always hated when movies do this…

Mittens: No Room! No Room! You look like you’re not from around here!

Our story continues…

Be the Bear!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 197 (Okay, really Day 17, but it FEELS like this month is 197 days long!)

We’re back with another episode of Beary Poppins!!!

A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!

Be the Bear!
