See how quickly I pivoted to the Thursday Archive dive, as if this is ALWAYS how we’ve done it.
Ahhhh….what to concentrate on. I think I’ll just share some ‘toons from the month of May through Panda Chronicles history, which oddly enough, is now 15 years long!
Let’s start with the Pandarama!
The pandaramaNever underestimate the power of a good “fart joke”
The panda kindergarten would like to point out they were NO WHERE NEAR NOTRE DAME when it caught fire!
So much for those new navigation systems…or is it “nagagation systems”?I have extra frosting!I really had no idea what she was up to.Are you SURE you wouldn’t like to vote for Bob?
Sigh…it could have all been so different…
I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives! Be sure to ‘toon in next week for a *new* ‘toon on Tuesday (New ‘toon Tuesday?) and another fun dive into the archives on Thursday!
Be the Bear Bob T honestly, I’m working hard Panda
Do we think he voted for Mittens? Do we think that elephants have had enough? Do we think that elephants do not want to be associated with the Republican Party anymore?
In 1972, the first pandas* arrived at the Smithsonian National Zoo, courtesy of China wishing to gain favor and influence from the US, after Pat Nixon wanted to hug a panda** on a trip to China.
*The first panda (named Su Lin) that came to the US was brought by Ruth Harkness (read the book The Lady and the Panda for a fascinating account of this real life epic adventure story) and eventually went to live his short life at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.
** Who doesn’t want to hug pandas? I ask you! I might have used some creative license with this fact, but Pat was the one who wanted the pandas. Nixon said okay, but they absolutely cannot sleep on the couch, and they are really, really not allowed on the bed.

Did you get your taxes done?
The only sure things are Pandas and taxes.
Meanwhile, we R still endangered …
The endangered species act is not a popularity contest!Guess who’s coming for cuppycakes!!!!“We are NEVER going to get our security deposit back!!!”Ruh Roh….
I never get tired of Frank and Mikey stories!
I know it is really scary out in the world right now. I hope my stories of pandas (and other bears) are helping you cope with it all.

For the foreseeable future, I will only have one new ‘toon each week (generally speaking) but will share a pandapalooza of goodies from the archives on the other regular posting day. We can’t go a whole week with no pandas (or other bears)!
Italy is so lovely this time of year…the fields are turning green, the tourists are not yet annoying, the alluring aromas wafting across the countryside: florals, budding grape vines, Kit Kats….wait…what?
Our story continues…
Could these Kit Kats be headed for Katastrophe????
We’ll find out, I guess…
Be the Bear Bob T I sure could go for a Kit Kat Panda
Yes, the situation is dire, no thanks to Mittens and his henchpersons. I hope the view of Mikey’s butt will cheer you up.
Here are some ‘toons from Aprils past! Have fun then get back to work!
The secret lives of the wild panda!Let the WHAT out of the bag?Lamentations of Luddites lay waste to Linguini. This was way too much fun. :o)Do you smell smoke?Well, bless her heart!
I have often said I can’t remember anything short term any more because my brain is full of lyrics to Beatles’ songs and TV commercial jingles. So, of course all I can think about now is Kit Kat Bars.
Who would have guessed that Frank and Mikey would be involved?
Things are getting extremely nutty and scary in the real world. Hang in there, every one. (coming soon! Four and Five’s official Panda Chronicles outfits!)
Be the Bear Bob T I really hope we get out of this mess Panda
With my currant work/nap load, I feel like I can only get one new ‘toon done each week. I’m trying to get a jump on next Tuesday, so back into the archives for today!
Let’s see what was happening during Aprils past…
Bob was at work on another book in 2011…
Do you like my new book?
In April of 2012, the Scottish Pandas were entering their first Panda Season of Looooove in Edinburgh…
A panda by any other name, would smell…well, they would just smell…I hope people haven’t had enough of silly love songs!
And of course, April is when we celebrate the arrival of The Nixon Pandas!

Sometimes the Panda Season of Love hits a roadblock or two…
“It was dark….there were men in masks….”
Well that’s it for this week’s dive into the archives! Something to give you a chuckle besides the nooz of Pammy Jo’s ouster as Attorney General. Better luck in your next life, I guess.
Be the Bear Bob T is hiding under the bed for the foreseeable future Panda
With all the terrible things that F45 is doing out in the real world, we needed a really nice day and we got it on Saturday at the 3200 + worldwide #NoKings events that took place this past Saturday. I was at our local one, and it was rocking by the time I got there. I had to park WAY down the road because there were so many people there.
It wasn’t like the big cities, but one of the interesting things to me is that were about an additional 800 events as compared to the one in October. And there were reports and photos from some rallies being held in very R heavy areas. I find this very encouraging, in a time when not much else is.
Of course, the most important and accurate reporting on the #NoKings rallies comes from…you guessed it…
ZooNooZ!!!!
Red pandas have an anger management problem!
Will we survive until the tide turns against Mittens? I don’t know, but I’m gonna keep fighting. As long as we have pandas on our side, how can we fail?
…the unqualified ICE agents that have been deployed to some of the major US airports, in the wake of TSA still being unpaid and having to show up for work. Who would you rather see as you rolled up to the gate: ICE or…
Frank and Mikey are extremely qualified to see if you are carrying any cookies or sandwiches.
I don’t have to fly anywhere any time soon, so I hope this is all resolved by the time I do. I’d hate to have to bring my emotional support bears.
Be the Bear! Bob T come fly with me Panda
I promise I’ll draw some pandas soon(ish) Pinky’s twins are raring to go!
