The TRUTH About Pandas 2

We’re back with the next installment of our response to the Foxxy “News” blasphemy about pandas. I’m listening to The Rachel Maddow show Podcast as I write this, so please excuse me if I break into incredulous cries of outrage as I hear what Mittens and his minions are getting up to.

Has the truth gone on holiday? Is it coming back? WHEN??????

The TRUTH About Pandas 1

Well, I know you have been anxiously awaiting my response to the vile, slanderous, and malignant slurs about pandas the a certain Foxxy “News” talking head spewed over the TV waves last week. Well, wait no longer! Today we begin a three part response to this travesty of so-called journalism! Huzzah! Is the truth dead?

MEANWHILE….another Foxxy “News” personality is now in the news (real news, not the fake stuff). Can I just say that things are getting very, very interesting? And need I say it?…

DIS. WILL. NOT. STAND!!!!!!!!!

The Tax Man Cometh (Beware the Ides of April)

For those of you who are waiting till the very very VERY last minute to do your taxes, Huzzah! You have until Tuesday! In addition to my own taxes, I have completed the Panda Kindergarten’s tax returns. Fortunately, none of us made any money, so that made it all so much simpler.

Hopefully, none of you show up at your accountant’s offices this way:

Tax

The only sure things are Pandas and taxes.

Apologies in advance to all of you who are waiting on the edge of your seats to read the continuation of Bubba and Pinky’s (and Ping!!!) story about going to visit Yip and Jip in Canada before they move to Calgary.  Not to worry, Bubba and the gang (and PINKY!!!) will return soon! I have been feverishly working on a response to the Foxxy “News” insulting report on pandas. Yeah, if we WANTED to bite you, you would be in big trouble!

No nonsense to be found here!

Panda on!

Fabulous Furry Friday presents An Embarrassment of Pandas

I don’t know if it is true or not, but I have read that the collective noun for pandas is an embarrassment of pandas. If it’s not, it definitely should be. I mean have you ever watched them eat? While I work back here behind the scenes to formulate my response to the vile maligning of pandas on Foxxy “News,” I thought I would share some ‘toons of the archives of…um…Pandas Being Embarrassed!

I don’t know if this link will actually work or not, but here is Stephen Colbert taking about this segment on Foxxy “News”

First on the list, of course, since it is time for our annual salute to the Nixon Pandas, is this one:

I am only making some of this up.

Thanks guys! No, really.

Celebrating 10 years of Panda Satire

Today, we’re celebrating 10 years of panda satire! I didn’t actually start posting ‘toons online until 2009, but I started drawing panda satire in 2008 after seeing an article about the panda ranches written by James Fallows.

Let’s take a look at some of the early ‘toons, have a few cuppycakes, and celebrate 10 years of Being the Bear!

Ever wondered where all these pandas came from?

Is it that time already?

Can Mehitabel endure the tidal wave of pandas?

You can’t be too careful!

Ha ha! Here’s a toothbrush!

I Pity the April Fool

So says Bob (Mr) T Panda! It is April Fools Day and Easter Sunday, which makes me think of all sorts of tasteless jokes, which I will just leave to your imaginations.

One of my most memorable April Fool’s Days was during my student years when I was one of the artists at the Artists for the Environment Foundation at the Delaware Water Gap National Park. The director was…um…a bit humorless, so we decided to…shall we say, celebrate the season. We took down all the paintings from the wall and replaced them with freshly gessoed canvases, blocked the drive with our cars, there may have been some vaseline on the doorknob to his office. That memory escapes me. I’m sure we did some other things as well, but fortunately, I have forgotten them. I’m sure the statute of limitations has expired, so no harm, no foul!

Bring on the Chocolate Bunnies and Marhsymallow Peeps!

April Fools Day has always been my favorite holiday

Huzzah for the Young People!

WE are ALL endangered!

Can we talk for just a minute, about all the hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions of people who turned out for The March 24th #MarchForOurLives? As someone who came of age in the late 60’s and early 70’s and spent my fair share of time marching and protesting, I was so proud, so heartened (is that a word?) to see these very articulate young men and women get up in front of 100’s of thousands of people in DC and other cities around the country and around the world.

For those of you who think that these teenagers can’t possibly be this smart, this articulate, this organized (and I know that is not anyone who regularly reads these pages) I say, you are living in a dream world. Who more than this generation, raised on social media, over-scheduled and over organized within an inch of their lives, who could be better equipped to lead this movement? Emma Gonzales moved me to tears with her speech and her silence, representing the amount of time it took the gunman to kill 17 of her classmates and teachers. She is my new hero.

It’s Panda Scout Cookie Time!!!

I was in the ferry line the other day, and I noticed that the Girl Scouts were out selling cookies! They had a captive audience, which changed every half hour. Smart! There was a whole group of scouts and moms/leaders, with multiple teams going out so that they could hit each row of cars as they waited for the next ferry. They also had a centrally located outpost with van and awning to protect the cookies in case of rain.

PROTECT THE COOKIES!!!!!!

Before we get to our Fabulous Furry Friday Encore Presentation, I would like to pat myself on the back for breaking my previous world record in cookie balancing! Yes, I may have noted that I am the world record holder in Cookie Balancing (a soon to be olympic sport!!!) My previous world record was 23 seconds (timed from the start of nibbling a stable base, to the moment you attain balance for your cookie. The cookie then has to remain standing for at least 8 seconds.)

The new world record…ta da!!!!…is 18 SECONDS!!!!!!

And to show that this is real…

Actual balancing cookie!

And because it’s Panda Scout Cookie time…

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

Howdy, Mr Kitty, kindly tell us where a tired old cowpoke can get a boo beer and a cuppycake.

I hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of the HighwayGate saga! If you enjoy these ‘toons, consider buying my books, so you can read about bears behaving badly ALL THE TIME! Thank you!

Panda On!
