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
…so I will give myself permission to share a few ‘toons from the archives as I had a few other more pressing chores to get to get to this week so did not finish a second ‘toon. Never fear, it is in progress and will appear on Tuesday.
Did I mention it is my Birthday SEASON? Heh! Did I ever stop?
First up! One of my earliest ‘toons! Inspired by the “Meet the Pandas” page on the SDZ website!
Do you like my new book?All My Pandas……Should Pandas pay their own way? (still one of my all time favorites!)Everything I know
I did say MOSTLY true…okay…maybe PARTLY true would be better…slightly true?
And last but not least…
The very Bob! Let’s put our paws together for the song stylings of Bob T Panda!
I was going to look for ‘toons about cake (because there HAS been cake!) but I got distracted by some of my early favorite ‘toons!
Be the Bear Bob T keeping the Birthday Season Spirit going Panda
While there now appear to be many A.I. generated videos of bears doing naughty things in places they don’t belong, (FAKE NOOZ! FAKE NOOZ!!!!) this was a real story as reported by some semi reputable noon source.
Of course, ZooNooZ sent their ace Bear-a-spondants to get the in depth story!
So here is a little mystery, which I think has been solved. While I was away on my trip that the republicans partly ruined by closing access to Binky Li and QB shutting down the government, visits to The Panda Chronicles went way up. Like a lot. Where I usually get between 40 and 100+/- visits a day, I was getting 400 or more, and a couple days over 1000 visits.
As this has resulted in absolutely no new subscriptions, I can only conclude that I was being swarmed by bots and not a newfound horde of panda satire enthusiasts. If, indeed, you are a newcomer to panda satire, please comment! Visits seem to be back down to normalish levels now, but who knows? I get a lot of spam comments from Russian bots (which is the reason all comments must be approved before I post them) so maybe they invited their friends.
Be the Bear Bob T it’s nice to visit other bears Panda
