But now, let’s have another (very!) exciting episode of Beary Poppins!!!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. We could certainly all use a little more peace and light in the world.

Don’t forget to tune in tomorrow for the 12 days of Crispmoss!

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 20

All I want for Christmas is for Mittens to go away!

Since I’m probably not getting that, how about a bit more Pinky in Wonderland?

What did we tell you?

Bubba wouldn’t be such a smarty pants if he wasn’t up in that tree (and couldn’t disappear at will)

I don’t know if I would eat that mushroom, Pinky!

Don’t eat that, Pinky!!!!

Panda on!

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!

31 Days of Pandas: Beware the Ides of December!

Beary Poppins returns!

And guess who showed up! (I’ll give you a hint: It wasn’t me!)

If you need to refresh your memory, here is a link to the most recent previous episode of Beary Poppins, since it’s been a week!

It wasn’t me!

Huzzah for Pandas!
Bob T Panda

Note to people who are feeling generous but don’t want more stuff in their houses: Several people this season have anonymously gifted felty pandas to friends who want one, but mebbe don’t have the disposable income to indulge themselves. If you would like to do this, thank you! It helps me (because I sell another felty), it is a wonderful surprise to the recipient (because YAY! a surprise panda!), and also, if you do it in December, I’ll make a donation for each felty sold in December to PDX Wildlife to help with their panda research!

Just send me a message using the contact form on the buy stuff with pandas page and we’ll set it up!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 14

We are almost halfway through this year’s 31 Days of Pandas! Coincidentally, we are almost through the final days of the Reign of Terror, brought to you by Mittens and his evil minions. I have not commented on Pinky’s loss in the Presidential race. I’m not sure that she is not going to try to pull a “fast one” in the days before Biden and Harris take their oath of office at their inauguration. I guess we’ll see.

I don’t know about you, but I am completely worn out by all the craziness. Each time we have a victory in the courts, I get a little lift, only to be newly horrified by another of HWMNBN’s insane lawsuits or pronouncements, and his urging on of armed thugs.

Later today, the Electoral College, (for better or worse) registers their certified state electors choices. A pretty weird system if you ask me. (not that anyone did) The concept seems to be, in order not to shutout a smaller group of voters, it disadvantages larger states with more people. I don’t see how this results in a “fairer election,” where the candidates have to address a wider swath of the country. They end up spending all their time and efforts in a handful of swing states, rather than the entire country.

Well, this old panda won’t sort it all out for the country. Let’s have some Panda Satire instead!

This week we have an Encore Presentation of Pinky in Wonderland, along with new episodes of Beary Poppins on Tuesday and Thursday!!! Huzzah!

And now, On with the show!

Curiouser and curiouser…

Sometimes being spontunerous can get you in over your head, Pinky!

Panda On
