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
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 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…
Sending love, strength and light to the people of Minnesota.
Be the Bear Bob T is there a children’s menu Panda
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.
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)
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!
Be the Bear Bob T will not be staying up till midnight Panda
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?
Be the Bear Bob T here to keep our spirits up Panda
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!
How was that for weaseling out of finishing this ‘toon by last Thursday, the National Day for Americans to eat enough calories to feed a small nation? (Each of us) I managed not to explode (or finish this ‘toon till yesterday!)
Anyway, the pandas and brown bears wanted to wish you all a happy season of thankfulness, despite the continuing cluster**ck that is happening in the Capitol and various points around the globe. It’s clear (to anyone who isn’t hiding their head in the sand) that F45 is on the brink of total dissolution, despite the evil Nosferatu Miller and assorted slimy oligarchs slavering around the treasury.
I mean…I really hope there is something left when we get around to picking up the pieces.
Anyway…
I am immensely thankful to all of you who come around to read what I write and draw here. We need to have a little fun during this re-creation of The Hunger Games and The Handmaids Tale, right? How many times can we say THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FICTION?!?!?!?!?!
Meanwhile…
I suspect we are going to hear from the younger pandas who didn’t make it into this ‘toon. Sheesh. This job is hard enough without pandas yelling at me!
And if you are looking for gifts for your friends and family (or yourself…just saying) Redbubble is having lots of sales over the next couple weeks, so maybe something with pandas on it? Check out my Panda Chronicle shop over there!
Stay strong Call or email your Congress People and tell them what you think about all this stuff Mittens is doing,
And always always always Be the Bear! Bob T is trying to not panic Panda
