As ever, History is rhyming once again…
I couldn’t help but notice the recent departure of Country Joe MacDonald, and so his most famous protest song keeps running through my head.

Bob T says NO KINGS Panda
I hope you are all making plans to attend your local No Kings Day protest on March 28th
The 2016 primaries were well underway. F45 had not yet become the GOP nominee. Hillary and Bernie were slugging it out. We did not entirely realize the abyss that loomed before us. The worst possibility, we naively thought, was yet another Bush in the WH.
Innocent times… Bubba was making his public debut, Mittens was oozing towards transforming politics for the worse.
Remember when the only points of tension between us and Our Neighbor to the North was when Pinky “borrowed” the twins from Toronto?
And then there were the debates…
It is really a sad state of affairs to see how relevant these ‘toons are, and how much worse things have gotten 10 years in, even with the 4 year respite under Biden. I can’t believe we are now in a pointless, destructive war, with so many civilian casualties already, and surely more to come.
I hope these ‘toons take you out of the madness for a little while. If only Pinky really COULD Poof Mittens…
Be the Bear!
Bob T hanging in there as best I can Panda
Did I see a news thing that British Columbia is going on Daylight Savings time all year?
Of course, then this ‘toon will make no sense.
I’ll have six boxes of Boo-Mints!
I hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of one of my favorite stories! There is way too much going on in the world and my concentration is kinda kaput.
I hope this gets you through till next time!

Bob T I like Binky Bars too Panda
The Winter Olympic Games are finished for one more year, and I bet Milan and Cortina (all of Italy, in fact) is happy to see the exits of JD, Ka$h, and their multitudes of black armored SUVs clogging up the tiny ancient streets of the cities.
Also, it was reported that JD had an entire cargo plane that brought FOOD in. I mean…are they more afraid of eating the best food in the universe, or that he is so universally despised, he wanted to make sure no one poisoned him?
Anyway…Four and Five are finally making their long awaited skating debut, along with their big sister, Princess Pinky Junior, in the rarely seen, but always admired Pair and a Half skating competition!
Aren’t ya proud of me I managed to get 2 new ‘toons done this week?

Bob T is not a fan of fascism Panda
In the nick of time, which is how we do things around here anymore, we have our commentary on Mittens’ SOTU address, which takes place in a few hours from now. They are probably adjusting his chemical component, adding another layer of orange goo to his face, and making sure his tie is properly starched.
But really, the only version of the address on the SOTU you need to read is right here!

Bob T State of the DIS-Union Panda
The days are just too short…what with all the making other art and napping and everything. But here are some more Winter Olympics ‘toons for your enjoyment!
Well that’s it for Pand-o-lympics past! I’ll keep working on some new ‘toons for this year, even though the Olympics (the real ones, any way) are almost over! But what is time to a panda?

Bob T is avoiding reality Panda
Make way! Make way! The pandas are about to take the field…or the rink…or the…
The Olympics will never be the same!

Bob T better Frank than me Panda
But the good nooz is, I have lots of Pand-Olympics ‘toons from Olympics past, so let’s get right to them, shall we?
There is something about pandas and ski jumps, isn’t there. Kinda like
pandas on a slide in the snow” on steroids!
I hope this was a fun look back at panda participation in Winter Olympics past! Who says pandas aren’t natural athletes?
I know there is a lot of terrible stuff going on right now (let me count the ways…) but we gotta hang in there and panda on. I hope this visit to the Panda Winter Olympics helps you make it through the day.
Be the Bear!
Bob T my nose is cold Panda
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.
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!
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!!!

Bob T is trying to keep grinning and bearing it Panda
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!
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
