It’s Birthday Week at the Panda House!

Of course now, The Panda House, at least as regarding Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie, is more of a magical concept than an actual place, since now Binky Li and QB live in the REAL Panda House. But in my mind, Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie will always live in that Panda House with their Mommee and Daddy (MX: Oh, thanks a LOT!)

Since Pinky’s birthday (Pinky: a BIG nashunal holiday!!!) is on Saturday, We will unveil Pinky’s new “Starter Pack” image today, along with a link to one of her products on RedBubble, the place that I make my designs available on stuff you can buy for your very own. It’s a fun way to support Panda Satire! (Ask and mebbee you will receive!)

But since today is Bikkie’s actual birthday, we must (we must, we must!) share some of our favorite snippets of stories about Bikkie, and of course, his beloved Mister Poppee!

Happy Bearday, Biscuit!

I guess all the pandas are going to want their own Starter Packs. Watch for them through the fall. I have so many ideas*.

Bob T *well, if we survive that is, Panda

A Panda Chronicles faithful reader shared this little snippet of a Meta A.I. reaction to my post of my “Fat Bear Week” Starter Pack. I thought it was kind of funny, but your mileage may vary. Here it is for your enjoyment/edification/outrage or whatever:

“Bob T Panda’s post suggests they’ve created something new, but details are scarce. The reactions indicate 57 people engaged with the post: 16 likes, 27 loves, and 14 haha reactions. Given the enthusiastic response, especially with 27 loves, it’s likely something creative or meaningful. Without more context, it’s hard to say what exactly it is, but it seems people are impressed or entertained.
I’m here to help with a wide range of topics, from answering questions and providing information to generating texts and ideas. I can assist with creative tasks like writing stories or brainstorming, offer insights on various subjects, or simply chat about everyday life. What specific aspect of my work would you like to know more about?”

I could definitely add some editorial comments to Meta’s A.I. B.S., but I’ll leave that up to you.

More Fun With Bears!

Oh my…I know I’ve left Frank and Mikey on the road with no direction, but I got distracted with a fun project, namely hand drawn and color Starter Kits!

What the heck is that, you might very well ask. If your fezbook feed is anything like mine, a lot of A.I. images are popping up all over the place, including some boxed set depictions of various things/people. So, a bunch of artists have done their own, starting with self portrait like “kits” all hand drawn and painted by the artists.

This was my first:

Then I did one for my friend in cyber space and real life, Terpie cat and her feline companions Ziggy and Marley

And finally, it seemed like it was just the time of year for this:

Don’t worry! I’m going to do one for Pinky, as well as Frank and Mikey, along with a whole bunch of other subjects. The more I do, the more ideas that pop into my head.

And, of course since these are so much fun, I thought it would be a lot of fun to put them on some stuff at RedBubble so you could collect your own! I know everyone hates getting so many marketing emails, but Redbiubble posts frequent sales, so it might be worth signing up to get their emails for a bit. I’ll let you know here when new designs are being released.

I’ll try to get back to Frank and Mikey’s Big Adventure this week or next!

Till then,

If Congress can go on Vacation in August, so can I

4 Replies

Okay, I’m not really on vacation, it’s just that some days I don’t get the things done that I think I will. Meanwhile, over at the Substack, I posted the whole story of Ping being targeted by the evil ICE. The second installment drops soon today.

But it IS the Panda Birthday Season, and we do have some important Panda Birthdays looming, so I’ll just take a little dive into the archives and pull up a few things!

Guess who has a birthday in August?

Pinky: if you guessed any bear other than me, try again.

Oh dear….are you going to leave her there?

Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?

Remember when Six and Sebben’s older sisters were Pinky’s nemesis?

I was really afraid this was going to happen.

Don’t make Pinky mad!

ICED! The (exciting) Conclusion

8 Replies

Alas, OITRW, ICE has not been melted. They are still out there doing terrible, terrible things to people in our communities who in no way deserve the treatment they are getting. We cannot look away, but we do need some relief as well. That is what The Panda Chronicles is here for.

Also cake.
There must be cake.

All we can do is keep on keeping on, and add as much kindness as we can to our daily lives. My most recent Substack thingie is about keeping going in the face of the insanity that smacks us in the face every morning. Making art, drawing pandas, and knowing you all are out there going through this too is what is going to get me through this, at least until it isn’t. I hope you’ll hop like a bunny over to read my piece called Despite Everything. And feel free to subscribe, which you can do for free or for a modest sum, if that is an option for you. Or you could send me a linzertorte. That works too.

A Very Sunny Thursday

It was too sunny to finish today’s ‘toon, but at least we already know that PPJ has vanquished the evil Ice Maiden and that Ping is safe. We’ll have a little epilogue next week, but for now enjoy these ‘toons from the archive, and rest easy in the knowledge that I decided not to stress myself out today.

What cats are reading at the beach this summer!

It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!

The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?

Sigh…happier times, which we really need to remember, right? Keep resisting, keep fighting for truth, justice, and The Way of the Panda.

One of the best things about writing fiction is that you can make things come out how you would like. Alas…not so true in real life, but we can think about this better story and pretend, right?

PPJ for the win!

Did we promise PPJ would swoop in and fix things?

Yes we did

Did we promise there would be a sekret weapon?

Yes, we did

Did we promise the ICE Maiden would be vanquished?

Yes, we did, indeed.

PPJ: I told yoo my hello kitty flamethrower would come in handy!
Pinky: sigh….
PPJ: but I was right, right?

…and a petite panda princess enters the chat. (you knew she had to be coming, right?)

I mean…who wouldn’t get distracted by whippy cream, right?

It gets crazier and meaner by the day in the real world. I hope you are all doing okay.

More from the archives…

Yes, I am working on more ‘toons about PING-GATE (Thank you Aunty Loosilla!) but it’s another busy week, with delivering art work to Seattle on the agenda, so here are some relevant ‘toons from the archives.

Mittens finally has a corrupt enough cabinet to give him the green light for his big boy military parade, but this is not the first time he asked for it…

A bear can dream…

We are 8 years down the road, but this hasn’t changed. It’s all too real now

Things are about as real as they can get.

The daily Hate (George Orwell got it right)

In 2020, the National Parks were shut down because of the pandemic. Now, there is a more sinister plan at work. The parks have been decimated by the firing of park personnel, and so now they are going to try to sell off OUR public lands.

It was better when the animals took over.

I’ll be back next week with more from PING-GATE!
