The Traditions of the Senate

Huzzah for the wave of blue that has swept over the House. (If you are not happy about this, you might want to stop reading right here, or maybe even back up to the beginning of the sentence!) We may not be able to counter the so-called Senate traditions about who can or when they can nominate, say, a judge, for instance, while the sad turtle is in charge, we can slow down a few abuses of power, perhaps.

It’s looking like a blue tsunami to me!

Sad Turtle, Too Much McConnell has much to answer for.

Just a couple more days until 31 Days of Pandas! Are you ready? I’m getting there!

Panda On!
Be the Bear!

PS: Cheating is not winning.

Bears will be Bears!

It’s our final installment with our special guest bears, Frank and Mikey, as they talk about the alleged events that may or may not have taken place on the steps of the Supreme Court! We aren’t admitting to anything!!!!

I SAID, I like BEER, Not BEARS!!!!

I like bears.

Here comes da judge!

Be the Bear!

It’s Black and White Friday!

Join us as we attempt to push away from the table (no! Really, I couldn’t…oh, well, maybe a fifth piece of pie would go down nicely) and gather around the computer to enjoy a few vintage ‘toons as we gear up for 31 Days of Pandas, starting a week from Saturday.

The news just keeps getting newsier and newsier and I am thankful that my friends in north central CA home was spared, but so many were not. Perhaps the panda kindergarten could be enlisted to rake the forest floor. Sigh….

But enough about reality! Let’s have some pandas!

pass the beans!

More literature of the panda!

Bob, Bob, Bob…when will you ever learn?

Last Supper, Cupcakes, DaVinci

Princess Pinky says, she is thankful for cuppycakes and da panda kindygarten and her magical wand!

It’s beginning to look a lot like pandas….too soon! too soon!

Zank hebben…for leettle bears!

comics history

Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?

Also, in the future panda file, I just found out 2019 is The Year of the Banky Pig! Huzzah!        Be sure to tune in on Sunday for the final episode of “Bears will be Bears!”

Be the Bear!

Have a Fabulous Furry Friday! (burp!)

Welcome to the Bears!

Being the bear can be so much fun. Especially when you are a grizzly bear! Let’s join our special guests, Mikey and Frank, who thought they had been specially invited to the Supreme court swearing in ceremony!

WE thought he said….

Helloooooo bears!

Be the Bear
Snorf!

A Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! Despite the current political turn of events, there is still much to be thankful for. let’s see if we can find more things to be thankful for.

AS a Birthday Season Present to Myself…

…I present a cartoonist’s revenge. When you know that the powers that be have gotten away with a terrible miscarriage of justice, and that people who have suffered at the hands of said person have gotten no relief, and that more injustice will follow, there is really only one thing you can do.

Draw a cartoon that depicts said person being eaten by bears. Silly, cuddly bears, but BEARS!!!!

Send in the bears!

Heh!

Be the Bear!

Get Ready for More Stories About Bears!

I have a little series coming up, that I wrote to make myself feel better about the recent Supreme Court Nomination Debacle. I’m thinking that this series had it’s roots in an exercise our Nevada SCBWI Mentor class had in a session during our final weekend. Our leader for the class, Timothy Travaglini, (@DevilWrsBowTies on Twidder) had everyone write a couple sentences about someone who had done something really awful to us, for which we would like revenge. We then exchanged the papers and pared up with another writer in the group to write a story of revenge.

I’m just saying: do not make writers mad. The story they will write in retaliation will be very scary.

Just keep that in mind when you read our little series starting on Sunday!

Oh those polar bears! What jokers they are!

because…misery bear!!!!!

The irony of Mehitabel criticizing Pooh Bear for his wardrobe, does not escape me.

I’m not sure Mehitabel has anything to talk about.

Today, you are a bear.

…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!!

Bob still likes to get out in the field once in a while.

Panda On!

Will You Please Put That Phone Down?

We’ve all been there. You’re having a perfectly nice dinner with friends, someone brings up an old movie, a song, someone asks who the director or co-star was, and before you know it, everyone has pulled out their phone and is Googling the answer.

Sigh…

Little did we know that not only does it annoy (some of) us, it pisses off your dog, too.

Cats, on the other hand, weren’t paying attention to you anyway.

Thanks to all who responded to my Shameless Self Promotion! I’ll be announcing a few more as the shopping season continues. Currently, there are still 2 lithographs of Yun Zi available! Just send me a message via the Contact Us page!

Yun Zi; 2 available, framed or unframed.

Panda on!

Will Fridays ever be Fabulous and Furry Again?

We survived the midterms and while we didn’t get everything on our wish list, we did get some of it, most importantly Democratic control of the House of Representatives. That’s not just chopped liver, I’m telling you!

Meanwhile, we are gearing up for 31 Days of Pandas and I think I have a plan! Meanwhile…

Let’s scamper down memory lane, with Pinky and her minions, who just turned FOUR years old last week!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Triple Trouble indeed!

What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?

Maybe you shouldn’t plug that many things into an extension cord, Pinky.

did someone turn out the lights?

And Zoonooz is on the job!

Cause and effects are very complicated concepts for baby pandas, don’t you think?

Zoonooz is on the job. Can you say “cover up”?

Pinky for what??????

Bob wouldn’t try anything sneaky, would he? Would he??????? Ah…such innocent times…

Panda on!

PS: For those of you who have been following the news in Pittsburgh, my friend was recently moved from ICU to a regular hospital room, so I am more optimistic, cautiously so. Thanks to all who have asked.

Some Pandas for the Day After

So, since I schedule posts to appear at about 5 or 6 in the morning EST (You’re welcome!) so that you can have a little shot of panda satire before you go off to work, we don’t really know how this whole election thing has worked out. Despite some last minute maneuvering by various GOP outposts (I’m looking at you, Calvert County MD!!!! Shutting down public transportation on election day? Shame on you!) early voting numbers are way up, in some cases exceeding even the total number of votes cast for the 2014 midterms.

I am optimistically, provisionally hopeful….Sort of. 

But I will wait to hear some election news before I schedule Friday’s encore presentation ‘toons. We will either have happy pandas, or post apocalyptic pandas, or maybe we will have lalalalala-I-can’t-hear-you pandas. But one thing I am sure of.

There will be pandas! Here are some now!

Thank you to the international Panda Community! You are da bears!

Panda On!

Save the Date: A reminder that our annual Panda-Palooza, 31 Days of Pandas is just around the corner! We’ll be adding additional NEW ‘toons to our usual 2 new ‘toons a week, plus a Year in Review Roundup with my (and I hope yours) favorite ‘toons of 2018! Set your watch for December, because that’s when it all takes place! There has to be SOMETHING to look forward to, right? Stay tuned for more information about our posting schedule!

You know what happens this week, don’t you?

This is the week. This Tuesday it happens.

Tuesday is the day we go to vote, if you haven’t already done so already.

It’s important every year, but this year it is so important all I can do is try to not think about how important it is or I would hide under the blankets eating frosting.

It’s extra important this year because:
Through gerrymandering and voter suppression, the GOP seeks to prevent likely Democratic voters from voting.
The lies being spread by our so called “president” get more outlandish every day, and they are specifically designed to keep the status quo in power.
In order to provide checks on you know who, we need at least one house of Congress to turn Democratic since the current republican Congress is handing you know who everything his heart desires, and then some.

Really GOP, is it so hard to tell the truth? Is it so hard to act in the best interests of the people you serve? When you started to block sensible ideas, just because they were proposed by the Democrats, rather than that you disagreed with them, you lost any respect I had for you. When you got behind a “president” whose actions are so antithetical to your so called Christian values, you lost your credibility. When you equate a church shooting with a disrupted dinner, you lost your soul. And could you guys quit lying and trying to take our healthcare and social security?

Okay, rant over. Now go vote. Here are some pandas. Oops. They are ranting too.

Seriously, don’t forget to vote!

Panda On and VOTE for crying out loud!
