Nixon’s Ghost Returns!

4 Replies

Have you ever noticed how little difference there is between “gift” and “g(r)ift?”

Nixon’s Ghost makes another appearance as an official guest correspondent on the ZooNooZ panel! Who needs 60 Minutes when you have ZooNooZ?

It’s been quite the week, hasn’t it? Call or email your reps, watch some panda videos, (Binky Li and Queen Bee have been romping up a storm in DC. At least something good is happening there) and then go outside!

I’m listening to Taylor Swift and The Boss, because they are both hot as hell and they are much better to chair dance to than the whining coming out of the WH from F45v2.0.

A Pope by Any Other Name…

4 Replies

Bob T couldn’t help but be excited that the new Pope’s name was Bob. He…um….doesn’t understand the whole Pope naming thing. I wonder if he’ll have a hard time visiting the US, given that his name of his passport won’t match the one on his birth certificate.

Still hanging in there!

What Happens When You Put a Con Artist in the WH?

Leave a reply

I am taking advantage of both my last minute hustle getting ready for an upcoming art show* and my vast archive of Panda ‘toons, especially those dealing with Mittens’ malfeasance when it comes to making bank out of the Oval Office.

  • It is a myth that artists can paint up until the last minute before an art show. There is photography and much, much paperwork that needs to be done in advance of delivering the work, let alone the opening of the show. You can read about some of this here! plus, see some of the art that will be in the show.

Anyway, Here We Go! The Mercenary Malfeasance of Mittens!

Are all these paper clips mine?

More Animal Tails From Down Under: Fifi of the Outback

2 Replies

I can’t remember where I first came across this story, but even if it hadn’t crossed my screen spontaneously, at least 3 of my friends shared it “HEY HAVE YOU SEEN THIS????”

Of course this brings to mind another connection and one of my comics inspirations, the one, the only Dr. Lynda J Barry, one of the best cartoonists still writing and drawing today. If you’ve never read her ‘toons, what the hell are you waiting for? She has multiple books out, going back more than 40 years. She also received an honorary doctorate from my Alma Mater, University of the Arts. I hope the school going t*ts up didn’t invalidate her genius. (She also got a MacArthur Genius grant, BTW)

Pay particular attention to her classic Poodle With a Mohawk, which inspired ZooNooz’s special guest’s demeanor.

I thought we needed a bit of silliness to get us through the end of the week.

Happy May Day! Rabbit Rabbit!

More Animal Stories From Down Under

2 Replies

Why is it that many of our animal tales come from Australia? Is it because they have more things that can kill you? Or maybe they have lots of cute animals, like koalas that would rather bite you than be kootchie-kooed under the chin?

Today’s tail (ha ha see what I did there?) comes from one of our alert readers, Barbara Bee. From the picture shared, it appears that Australian possums are much cuter than American ones.

Oh, possum, I identify with you!

I mean….who wouldn’t want to eat so many pastries you passed out? No? Just me?

Bob T sorry we were late today…not that kind of “late” Panda

Are YOU in the Chat?

Everyone who’s anyone is in on the absolutely if we told you, we’d have to kill you top secret chats coming out of the defense department these days.

I guess they haven’t noticed, SECRET is right in the name SECRETARY, huh?

Fortunately, Frank and Mikey are on the job!

Stuff is getting scary out there. I’m glad Frank and Mikey are on our side.

In other nooz, if we didn’t mention it already, Princess Pinky Junior has arrived in Vienna, to wow the crowds and make her play for world domination, Princess Panda style! Stay tuned!

It’s Earth Day!

6 Replies

and nothing says “Earth Day” like being an endangered species!

Please enjoy these ‘toons about being endangered, or as Frank and Mikey say, “be dangerous, not endangered!”

No nonsense to be found here!
This isn’t Nam, man! There are rules here!
Don’t be endangered, be dangerous
Second verse, same as the first…

Hoping to finish a new ‘toon for Thursday!

Did you hear the nooz? Princess Pinky Junior is going to live in Vienna! Look out Austria! There is a Princess coming and she has a magical wand!

Penguins Were Only Doing What They Were Supposed To

Hey! Guess what today is? It’s the Ides of April, of course. The day you might be paying your taxes or filing an extension. Of course, since E-loon and his goons have fired a few thousand of the people who work at the IRS, who knows what will happen with your return.

And then there is the whole “yes there are tariffs, no, there are no tariffs…oh wait…just kidding! Let’s make penguins pay tariffs.”

Did someone say Penguins?

Frank and Mikey get in on the action!

And a little tribute to tax days past…

The only sure things are Pandas and taxes.

The nooz is so bad I can’t make fun of it right now…well, other than the penguin thing. I hope you are doing okay and hanging in there.

More greatest hits!

4 Replies

It was another one of those weeks. Between getting a bit of a cold — first one since covid—and trying to get my tax stuff mailed in (why, oh why?) I didn’t quite get today’s ‘toon done. It will definitely be ready for next week, so in the meantime, I thought I’d pull out some of my Pinky’s greatest hits.

Remember, once an icon, always an icon. It’s not just common sense, it’s the LAW!

Pinky forebber!

oops.
Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
Pinky tests her powers….
Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

Pinky at her poof-iest!

Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?
If only it was this easy…

I want to acknowledge that weeks (are you sure it hasn’t been years) since Mittens came back into power have been extremely hard, and it’s easy to slip into dark thoughts. I am constantly ricocheting back and forth between oh look! the sun is out and I have leftover pizza, and all is lost! F45 is going to steal every penny in the treasury and murder all sorts of people who don’t deserve it, and, and, and…

It’s a struggle to keep on the path, but hopefully a large dose of baby Pinky will help.

I’m so glad you are all here with me.
