Fabulous Furry Friday Presents…

2 Replies

I’m sure there are people who have most of this week off, or at least part of it off any way, because of the July 4th holiday. That is not the case here, because
A) I am self employed
B) If I took a week off people would be like, “where are my pandas??? I NEED my PANDAS!!!!!!

But don’t cry for me Argentina…

If I had a week off, what in the heck would I do with it? Draw pandas? Clean my house (nah…never that! How do you think I have so much time to draw pandas?)

Meanwhile, here is a holiday classic for the 4th of July!

uh. oh.

In addition to the #secondcivilwarletter posts over at Twidder, we couldn’t help but notice a certain Senator lamenting that lack of civility and a perfidious preponderance of profanity (pretty good alliteration, wouldn’t you say?) So, in answer, we offer this ‘toon!

Well *bleep* and take your *bleep* and stick it *bleep*!!!!

And of course, once again, it is time for the Tour d’France to take place, and we have this to say about that, as well as other selfie opportunities!

Hey! Get out of the way!

Much better to take a selfie with pandas!

You know we’re just kidding about this, right?

AAAAAAhhhHHHHHH!

I really had no idea what she was up to.

And of course, who could forget Pinky’s visit to the White House?

Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!

Meanwhile, the National Zoo is on Mei Watch. We hope she has a happy, healthy cubby (or two!) but no matter what, we hope that she will continue being her lovable self right in DC. There have been reports that Bao Bao herself might be on pregnancy watch. We shall see!

So…if I went to bed, turned out the lights, with the covers over my head, and I shut my eyes really really really really tightly, when I woke up in the morning, would all that has been going on, turn out to be just a bad dream?

No…I didn’t think so.

The atrocities are piling up too quickly for me to discuss here, but if you really want to have them spelled out for you (intelligently and insightfully) in one place, check out Amy Siskind’s podcast The Weekly List, accessible from the website of the same name. Other podcasts I’m listening to are Pod Save America, Lovett or Leave it, as well as the rebroadcasts of The Rachel Maddow Show. I’m not sure whether listening to these things is helping my mental health, but I do feel a lot better informed. News and analysis from people who are smart, funny, and knowledgeable about politics. I know no one here watches Foxy News.

But enough reality already! Let’s have some pandas, as we await the really important news of the day: Is Mei Xiang going to have another cubby or two?

we are still hoping for a panda cub trifecta

Hey! watch where you put that torch!

Despite the fact that Bob is still wearing his vacation outfit, he’s back and ready to report!

Sometimes real life news stories make it Just. Too. Easy

truth

Foxxy “News” lies like a rug.

Well *bleep* and take your *bleep* and stick it *bleep*!!!!

Don’t let you know who take all the whippy cream!

Pandas RESIST!!!!

Oh my…I’m running on empty here, as I’m sure many of you are too. I have some ideas about raising some money to help the efforts at the border to help these kids and parents who have been forcibly separated, but it’s going to have to wait till our Sunday post.

Meanwhile, we do need a little humor to get us through this, so here it is:

let there be cake!

Or how about some cuppycakes?

Panda middle school!

THIS is your brain on pandas. Any questions?

Here come the pandas!

Reports of possible cubby activity in DC have been coming in to my Twidder and Fezbook feeds. Let’s hope no one tells ICE or the Predator in Chief.

The Meihems Will Not Take This Lying Down

6 Replies

“No good can come of allowing other pandas to have opinions”

~Princess Pinky in her recent book: World Domination the Princess Pinky Way

Pinky might be of the opinion that the Meihems have a unfair advantage, what with being twins and more than a month older than Pinky. She could possibly have a point, because from the beginning, they have given as good as they’ve gotten, at least when it comes to Pinky’s shenanigans.

So is it any surprise that they have a response to Pinky’s most recent accusations?

I didn’t think so either!

Pinky: “if i want you to have an opinion, i’ll give it to you!”

A hearty welcome back to pandas fans who once were lost, but now have found their way back to the panda kindergarten, along with new readers who have found us for the first time!

Be the Bear!

Stay tuned for the premiere episode of our latest retold (panda) tales extravaganza starting this Wednesday, coming to an internet cafe near you! It’s a little story we are calling, Pinky in Wonderland! There will probably be a few breaks during the story as we catch up with our reading in the Lewis Carroll original! It’s been a while since I last read it so… also some other pandas were anxious to share their stories, including Zhen Zhen’s big adventure tale (based on a true story!) and the reveal of Bebe Maurice’s new outfit and chosen interest!

Stay right in your seat! You don’t want to miss a single frame!

Don’t You Be Talking Smack About Unka Justin!

Dis. Will. Not. STAND!!!!!!!!!

Nobody, but nobody gets to talk smack about Unka Justin! And so, Fabulous Furry Friday revisits the Canadian Pandas, because we LOVE Unka Justin! Panda on, good buddies to the north!

Oh Panada, Oh Panada, how tasty are your maple leaves….

What do you mean you left a note saying they are at my house?

Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!

Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?

Are you SURE you wouldn’t like to vote for Bob?

There may be political concussions!

And don’t we all feel this way when we think about President Mittens?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

If you thought things were already crazy, I have a feeling we haven’t seen anything yet. Hold on to your cuppycakes!

Be the Bear!

The News Is Just Too Newsy Today

Leave a reply

Won’t someone save us from all the news that keeps getting thrown at us from every direction? You Know Who (aka He Who Cannot Be Shamed) wants to start a fight with Canada? really?

I mean, if we are going to have world domination by a megalomaniac, it should be…

news

Pinky: i keep telling ebbryone you should have voted for me!

I mean, really…this kind of self serving rhetoric is kind of funny when a small, cartoon panda says it. The (Supposed) leader of the Free World? Um…not so much. I mean, you’d almost think You Know Who was getting his talking points from Pinky. I really don’t want to think about that.

Somebody, can’t we please just Panda On?
Bob T Panda

I guess we are going to have to feature our pandas to the north again on Fabulous Furry Friday to make sure Canada knows that sensible people still love them. (And would move there if we could!)

 

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

Instead of a news dump, let’s have a panda dump!

Um…that did not come out exactly right. But while I have your attention, this is as good a time as any, to remind you that it can be Fabulous Furry Friday (Gateway to the weekend!) EVERY DAY at your house!

Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?

How? You may ask! How can every day be a festival of pandas in my very own house? Do I need to stock up on cuppycakes? Can I stay in my pajamas? Pandas in my pajamas! What could be better? Remember, buying my books helps to keep the panda satire coming your way!

Yes, it’s time for Mei Watch, once again!

Yes, we are now officially on Mei Watch. A recent hormonal check by the zoo panda keepers revealed that she is showing an elevated hormone level, which means that either she will actually have a cubbie, or she is faking it  for the extra cuppycakes. Time will tell! This could be the last cubbie in the US for a while, as Bai Yun and Lun Lun have both retired and are enjoying a well earned rest.

Bao Bao is unhappy

Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?

You can see while Mei Xiang might be contemplating a calmer, more peaceful life.

If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.

And speaking of keeping me in ink and paper, (What? Who was talking about that?) Did you know that my original cartoons are available for you to own? Yes they are! As long as they are already published in one of my books, they are ready to frame and purchase and come live with you! They come complete with all the ink splotches (not that many) and pencil smudges(only a few). Just send me a message via the Contact Us page and let me know which cartoon you are interested in, and I will frame and ship to you! Huzzah! (Extra charges for international shipping)

Mei Xiang and the Zoo Director have gotten their panties in a knot, it seems.

Mei puts her paw down…

the jig is up

I don’t think Mei is buying the homework thing.

What a trip down Mei’s Mommee Memory lane! Would it be any wonder if she declines to have a cubby this year? What if she has twins? What if they are both like Pinky?????

Thanks again for visiting, playing with pandas and buying my books! You’ll be glad you did!
Panda On!

Well, at least it’s not a crime YET…

I hope everyone who had either a primary election or a special election in your state/district went and voted. It is important that everyone who can vote does. Yes, I meant everyone. If you have to cheat to win an election, well, then it’s not really winning, is it?

Because if you don’t vote, we might end up with something like this:

Things are about as real as they can get.

Oh. Yeah. We did. Well, you should vote anyway, ‘kay?

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

For those of you on the east coast, you are probably wondering where your pandas are….um…I’m pretty sure they are around here somewhere…and while we are on the subject of bears and cuppycakes…(see Wednesday’s shocking expose)

Wait! Here they are now!

another cartoon inspired by real news! (and cuppycakes!)

Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story

Speaking of a Cuppycake Trap

8 Replies

Wait? WERE we talking about a cuppycake trap? Well, cuppycake trap, perjury trap, it’s kind of all the same thing, isn’t it? Thanks to one of my alert readers, who was the first (yes, Lora, several people brought this story to my attention, but you were the first!) to tell me about this story. Even though we all know that bears that get habituated to humans, always ends up being bad for the bears, who doesn’t love the idea of a bear doing this:

“If they didn’t want me to eat the cuppycakes, they shouldn’t have left them there!”

“I’ll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and one of…”

The bear was not caught this time, but the sad fact is, this bear now has a taste for frosting and he will probably come back for more. I don’t know what the solution is. We have expanded where we humans live and so bears are being crowded out of their habitats and the collision (as opposed to collusion) is inevitable. In Colorado a bear who recently broke into the Post office was euthanized because it was his third human encounter. More than 160 bears have been killed because of people/bear encounters in Colorado in 2017.

Um…is it okay that he ate all the cuppycakes because they were vegan?

Panda On!
