It is most unfair of the Republicans to offer arguments so absurd, that it becomes hard to make fun of them.
This makes perfect sense to me!
Try to panda on!

I’m sure everyone one has a favorite movie, that they have found relevant quotes for many situations in life. I have several, including Casablanca and The Wizard of Oz, but the one that has the most useful quotes in MANY situations for me, is The Big Liebowski. I didn’t see this movie when it originally came out, but since discovering it, I watch it regularly (It’s one of a handful of movies I own discs of) and Mr. Badger and I quote it almost constantly.
Last week when Rachel Maddow was interviewing Live Parnas, I kept yelling at my iPand, “New s**t has come to light!!!!!” And wouldn’t ya know, when I was listening to The Daily Beans today, they played the audio clip from the movie of Jeff Bridges (aka the Dude) saying that very line! So there! It IS the perfect line for these perilous times!
Settle your fur down, Bob!

Two notes on things other than the year in review posts:
First, I was alerted to an excellent newsletter by Heather Cox Richardson, writing about the legal and political issues of the day, in a very readable, clear manner. (In other words, if I can understand what the hell she’s talking about, pretty much anyone can.) I highly recommend subscribing to her news letter. If nothing else, maybe it will keep me out of the Twidder trenches so I can get some work done. We’re in for a wild ride, panda fans! Here’s to hoping we all survive it!
Second, my Tiny Panda Kickstarter is going swimmingly! It ends this Friday at 5 PM PST, so if you wee thinking about getting a tiny panda (or two) of your own, this is the week. There are still several panda rewards available, and should you want more than one there is both a two panda reward, or you can add another panda to the reward selected. Just message me here via the Contact Us form, or the Kickstarter message system.
Don’t (*snorf*) look like food!

Pinky and her new minions get down to serious business
Made by the same highly scientific company as the Cute-o-Meter!
Don’t get mad. Get even.
It does not pay to be late! You don’t want to flunk cake again, do you, Boo Boo?
Mittens: a disgrace to cat-hood
bears will be bears!
See ya next week with some new ‘toons and the wrap up of our Hold Me Closer Tiny Panda Kiscktarter!
Panda On!

These ‘toons previously appeared on The Panda Chronicles in July/August/September of 2019
Geez…new s**t has come to light!!! Can you believe all the information that is hitting the ether? Thank goodness I have so many little pandas to felt! (you are not too late! Check it out HERE!)
Sorry I’m “late”
Reality is scary!!!

New designs coming to Redbubble:
Beeeeeeeee!
Pinky!
Before we dive in to our Year in Review encore presentation, can I just say OH MY FRIGGING GOD!!!! The tiny panda (Hold me closer tiny panda) Kickstarter reached its goal amount 13 minutes after launching. I am astounded with gratitude for this response. It also was listed as a Kickstarter Project We Love most of the day on Friday. Needless (or needle-less) to say, I have a lot of felting to do over the coming months. If you are afraid you missed your favorite panda, check back at the project, because I added some more reward categories!
Thank you again, from deep within my heart. I can’t wait to get these pandas to you! (After I make them of course!) This has the added benefit of getting to visit the Abundant Earth Fiber store again, which may now be called my happy place!
it was a total coincidence that Babette’s ‘toon should run today.
Moove over! You’re crowding me!
Look who’s here!
If you go out in the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise!
Who could have done this????
Did I just see what I thought I saw?
Bwahahahaha!
So, Mikey…how was the Grand Ol’ Opry?
Will these two ever get along?
Well, that’s it for today’s wrap up! See ya real soon!
Panda on!
Bob T Panda
I did warn you I was going to do this. It will be instructive (not to mention profoundly depressing) to look back both here in panda satire, as well as in the real world (or the reality world…whatebber!) and see where we started 2019!
Look out Bubba! Pinky is trying to get her paws on Banky Pig!
That Ping Ping is a clever liddle bear, isn’t he?
Mittens did WHAT??????!!!!????
The Government shutdown, orchestrated by HWMNBN started in December, and still continued into February, heedless of putting 100’s of 1,000’s of people out of work. Or was it millions?
Dis. Will Not. STAND!!!!!
I see trouble in my crystal ball…
Even Nancy Pelosi listened enthusiastically!
March brought us the presidential candidacy floating of yet another unqualified billionaire, this time a purveyor of double-half-caff-frappacino-with-skim-whippy-cream-and-sprinkles, claiming that the obvious disdain for his proposed presidential run, was a sure sign that the people wanted him to do it. Fortunately, he fizzled out (bad back, my behind!) and he has receded to the obscurity he deserves.
“Hey! I’m still back here!”
The people have spoken!
“We are NEVER going to get our security deposit back!!!”
If you enjoyed our first Year in Review installment, you can search the archives in the sidebar and read the full stories that we have highlighted here! And while your in the sidebar, you can also look at what we have to offer at Redbubble in our Buy Stuff With Pandas feature!

Oh my! A new Year is upon us. I think I saw somewhere that this year is the Chinese Year of the Rat. I need to double check this, because there could be a lot of rats deserting the sinking ship of the You Know Who (p)residency!
But meanwhile, let’s join Bob and Mehitabel as we welcome in the new year!
Pinky really needs to quit doing that.
Buckle up, buttercup!
Bob T Panda
Oh my goodness! It’s Day 31!!!! It’s New year’s Eve in my time zone. for some of you, it’s already next year! What ever time zone you are in, take a deep breath, sleep in, if you can, and think about how you are going to combat authoritarianism this year!
I’m going to do it by speaking out here, and in the real world, and keep drawing my ‘toons that speak my truth!
WE need to do better in 2020! What can possibly go wrong?
Panda on!
Bob T Panda
It’s Day 30 of 31 Days of Pandas! Thank you for joining me for this month-long Pandapalooza! It is always fun dipping into the archives to see what floats to the surface!
We are looking at a very stressful year ahead. HWMNBN is not going to go quietly into the night like Nixon did. He is going to go kicking and screaming and saying UNFAIR WITCH HUNT all the way. We need to be very brave and stand up for the Constitution and for Democracy. We need all the pandas and frosting that we can get!

Ever wondered where all these pandas came from?

The panda kindergaten knows where you live.

An explorer’s work is never done.

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.
2015
Thanks a lot, Leslie. I think you gave Pinky this idea.
2016
Oh those red pandas! They are such characters!
2017
…and due to the International women’s day strike of 2017
2018
Well *bleep* and take your *bleep* and stick it *bleep*!!!!
2019- We introduced Frank and Mikey late in 2018 (when they allegedly ate Supreme Court nominee Bart Kravenclaw) and I think these (non-panda) bears are here to stay!
Ruh Roh….
I hope you enjoyed this look back at panda satire through the years since we started this blog! Tune in tomorrow for the 31st day of 31 Days of Pandas, and all next month as we do our Year in Review on Sundays!

We are so close to the end of 31 Days of Pandas that I can almost taste the cuppycakes that I get to have once I get done setting up all of these posts! I’m hard at work, thinking about what the pandas are going to get up to next year! These little bears keep me on my tippy toes!
are you SURE it’s not “carbonated”?
well, what if I….
but…WeREndangered!
What do you mean by “was?”
Bob’s first foray into the realms of literature …

By the way, I am hard at work inventing the reward levels for the felty panda project, which I am calling Hold Me Closer Tiny Panda! I’m very excited, as I have always felt that the only way you get good at something is to do it a lot! To that end, even though the project hasn’t started yet (look for it to start around the 9th of January, for Kickstarter’s #Make100 initiative) I am already making pandas! I keep designating ones I want to keep, as well as refining my panda felting techniques. Stay tuned! as soon as I have a bit more done on the project page, I’ll share it with you here so you can follow along and be ready for the launch!
