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.

Be the bear!
Bob T what is the sound of one paw clapping Panda

Why Did The Plane Turn Around?

So many things coming at us from all angles! And what could be more fun than a bear in a candy shop?

Did you take our little quiz?

Do you want some more options than I had room for on the ‘toon?
How about:
1. Mittens got so mad that the pilot wouldn’t agree to bomb France on the way to Davos, that the pilot said, “Okay! I’m turning the plane around right now if you can’t behave!”
2. The “electrical” problem was one of those “lights on, no one’s home” kind of things
3. Stephen Miller’s coffin latch got stuck and he couldn’t get out when it was time to feed.
4. All the couches on the plane refused to have JD sit on them, and they kept ejecting him.

I could go on…but you probably are wishing I would get on with it and post today’s ‘toon!

So there ya go!

Bob T now I’m REALLY mad Panda

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…

No Room For Bears

Of course, when I say “no room for bears,” I don’t mean here at Panda Satire headquarters. Oh no! I mean that homeowner down in California who objected to an adorable little 500 pound bear moving in under his house.

Here, with the NooZ, is Mehitabel…

There’s a lot going on in the world right now. I thought we might need Frank and Mikey to make us feel better.

Be the Bear!

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)

It’s New Year’s Eve EVE!

I’m working on some new ‘toons, but in the meantime, I did some freehand (no pre-drawing) pandas with this ink brush that I’ve been playing with and want to get better at, so I drew some pandas. I also thought it would be fun to post my favorite New Year’s Eve ‘toon!

And of course, the classic, New Year’s Eve with The Panda Kindergarten!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

I’d like to think that next year will be better, but I have no evidence that will be the case. Even if I fail on timely productions of new ‘toons this week, I’ll still be posting stuff from the archives, of which there are about 15 years worth. Wow! How did that happen?

Anyway, I hope we continue to survive!

Departed Pandas Are Never Forgotten

Whether they head to China or take the long walk over the Rainbow Bridge, we never forget the pandas that have meant so much to us, and given us so many hours of joy. It seems only natural that the departed Mehitabel should interview the departed Gao Gao, and then of course, other ghosts of the Panda Chronicles should show up.

That Nixon’s Ghost is such a joker, right?

Who Cut The Cheese?

I can always count on my faithful panda community to alert me to important stories (especially about bears behaving badly!) but sometimes the NooZ comes via other sources like Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, or The Stephen Colbert show.

This little NooZ story came from both of them and so the booking team at ZooNooZ arranged for an interview with this newfound celebrity!

WE love the cheesiest jokes!
