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.

What is Mittens Trying to Distract us from Now?

There is so much clownf**kery going on right now, it’s hard to know exactly what Mittens is trying to distract us from. Is he using the ICE invasions and murders in Minneapolis to distract us from making a fool of himself and the USA on the world stage in Davos, or is trying to acquire Greenland by means foul or fouler meant to distract us from whatever incriminating evidence might be in the Epstein files?

It’s all too much of a muchness.

Meanwhile is Bearanice’s sojourn to see Josie — who just happens to live in the nation’s Capitol — an innocent visit from a childhood chum, or is it something much more sinister?

Could Bearanice really be an agent provocateur?

Do We Really Need To Endure Three More Years?

I really don’t know how much more of this we can take.

It’s gonna take a lot of cocoa, little marshymallows and whippy cream to get through this.

There are Food Pyramids and There are Food Pyramids

So apparently, Brain Worm Guy has decreed a new food pyramid, (Make Beef Great Again) ignoring decades of nutrition science (ooo! Science! bad Word) and the effects on climate of massive beef consumption. Now, I like a good hamburger as much as the next bear, but it’s more a couple times a month treat and not a daily item on the menu.

Of course, civic minded bears have their own Food Pyramid, with a mind to ridding the world of some invasive species…

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!

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)

From One Dumpster Fire to the Next

It’s 2026, MoFos! Bite me!

The first day of the New Year dawned gray and foggy and if that’s not some kind of metaphor, I don’t know what is! NYC has a young, progressive mayor. The pandas formerly known as the DC Pandas are living in China, but one thing Pandyland has, is suspension of reality and really high speed public intercontinental transportation! So you just never know where any one of the pandas will pop up. Even pandas (and cats) who have allegedly departed the temporal plane!

The younger generation of pandas now living in DC and Pandiego are getting ready to make their mark on Panda Satire. Will they get help from good pandas or will they take the council of…um…Six and Sebben.

Ya pays yer cuppycakes, you take yer chances!!!

Yes, yes, Crispmoss is over, but time has no meaning here in Pandyland. Before you know it, the Lunar New year will roll around and then there will be the Winter Panda Olympics, and there have been quite a number of bears in the NooZ, on which Frank and Mikey may have a lot to say!

As always, I’m so glad you all are here! I think it’s going to be a crazy year, here in the US and we are going to need to support each other through this. I’ll bring the Panda Satire. You bring the cuppycakes and whippy cream, and somehow, we might just get through this.

Panda on in 2026
