Panda in Chief

Mei Xiang’s Fantasy, Pinky’s Nightmare!

So, back in the real world, Princess Pinky Bao Bao lives in China, and she has had a cub. We don’t know exactly why her cub is being raised by a foster mother, but she seems very well cared for and lives a happy cubby life. But in the world of The Panda Chronicles, all the pandas live at home with their parents…And Ping…And Frank and Mikey… It’s getting a bit crowded in the panda house! But…

The Panda Chronicles Predicts the Nooz Again!

So, my post on Thursday dealt with zoo keepers at a Czech zoo giving their chimpanzees access to Zoom so that they wouldn’t feel so lonely during the pandemic shut down. And then THIS happens! Do we think that there was a diabolical plot hatched between the Czech Chimps and these Barbary apes in Germany? And what about these monkeys in Cincinnati??? I don’t know about you, but this seems awfully…

You can’t have Zooms without Zoo!

Yes, we are all chomping at the bit to get back to real life with real people (or maybe not! Some of us have realized that not interacting in person is not all bad!) But why should people have all the Zooms? A Czech zoo decided to give it’s inhabitants a treat. And what penguin wouldn’t want to get a little culture? I hope the penguins remembered to take all their fish with them! Zoom you…

Still finding work arounds for all my technical difficulties. I just updated my operating system and now my scanner doesn’t want to work. Uh oh. I am getting the “offline” notice again, which is always encouraging. (not) Anyway, fortunately I have this week and next week’s ‘toons scanned so I have a bit of time to figure this out! Here’s today’s ‘toon! The idiocy of the GOP never ceases to…

If I could turn back time…

Some comics let their characters age, grow, get old disappear, add new characters as the older characters end their story lines. Some comics keep their characters in a state of suspended animation. Calvin remained six for all 10 years of Calvin and Hobbes. I’ve done a bit of the combination of the two, freezing characters at the age that is most conducive to the story lines that I have…

Who are YOU calling a fool, April?

While it is a relief to have someone I can call “President” unironically, I still am traumatized enough by my memories of the former guy that every time I hear a phrase that includes “The White House” or “POTUS” I have a momentary flood of dread until I remember that Joe Biden is President and that he is doing what needs to be done to get this country back on track. That all is not well, that…

Don’t You Want Somebody to Hug…

It’s been a long year, hasn’t it? Isolated in our pandemic quarantine quarters, zooming with friends or for work or for school. Only now, as vaccines are happening, are (some) people coming cautiously out of their dens… Except of course for the morons who just can’t stay out of crowded bars and other places, and have been spreading viruses around like penny candy at a parade… Meanwhile, some…

Once again, The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire brings you your Sunday Round up of Panda ‘Toons! It’s that Time of Year Again! The only sure things are Pandas and taxes. Uh oh…it’s the Pinky Revenue Service! I guess Pinky and the GOP have something in common, as much as it pains me to say… Clear as mud! Foxxy “News” lies like a rug. Pandas COULD bite your head off if they really…

The Panda Kindergarten Must Be Stopped!!!

I’m fairly sure that the Panda Kindergarten must be responsible for the difficulties I’ve been having with the Pandashpere. I am now setting this up in what WP calls the Block Editor. Things appear and disappear randomly, as if a certain small panda was using her magical wand to foul things up. Hmm… But when I try to use the “classic editor” which has helped me lo these many years to bring you…

You know you should never ask Pinky!

Thank you to my talented web guru, I once again have the Classic Editor to set upon my posts. He put in a different plugin to allow me to have my luddite tendencies a bit longer. It does seem to be doing this strange thing once again. where I lose the connection temporarily, but it does seem to allow me to keep typing. I don’t know. It’s all a mystery to me. But Meanwhile, here is Pinky, once…

Maybe I Should Ask Pinky How to Fix the Computer….

I seem to be having some technical difficulties, but hopefully, they will sort themselves out (and by themselves, I mean my very capable and accessible web guru, Nate Hoffelder who writes The Digital Reader and has a web guru business) I wonder if some of my problems are due to my reluctance to give up the old editing interface that I’ve been using for the past 10 years, and move on to the new…

Beware the Ides of March!

Oops. The Ides of March (whatever the heck they are) we’re yesterday. I’m more concerned with the Ides of April (aka tax day)! Maybe we should be more worried about the Ides of Pinky! But fast on the heels of the Ides, comes National Panda Day! No, I am not making this up. (Some people would say that EVERY day is panda day, and you know? They might be right!) Let’s Ask Pinky! Pinky has another…

You Know What Today Is!

Yes, it’s the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, here in most of the USA, and you know what THAT means! Yes, it’s time for THIS ‘toon! Sunday Funday KNOWS that this is one of your favorites! I crack me up! There are more ‘toons to come, but first…Last week the world of children’s literature lost one of it’s greatest practitioners, Norton Juster. If you don’t recognize the name, run, don’t walk…

It has been so much fun watching Bikkie go ups and down trees, playing and sleeping in the hammock, and following Mommee and making practice pounces. Bikkie is a very good pouncer. But all tree climbing pandas have to start somewhere! Bikkie: But why can’t I climb da big tree? Be the Bear! Bob T Panda

It’s the Year of the…um…

We often get to things later, rather than sooner, but we usually get to them sooner or later! So p[ut your paws together, and give a warm Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire Lunar New Year HUZZAH! for… The Year of the Ox! ( As presented by the Panda Kindergarten!) Moooove it along, little cowpoke! Be the Bear! Bob T Panda

It’s not only the Panda Season of Love, it is ALSO…

Panda Scout Cookie Time!!!!! Yeas, that’s right! It’s Panda Scout cookie Season, so Sunday Funday presents all the cookie fun we can find! Enjoy a Binkie Bar today!!! On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can…. Princess Pinky Bao Bao…what have you done now? Time to call in …Inspector panda! Inspector Panda is on the job! “Hello, Bai Yun? this is Lun Lun…about that detective…

The best thing that could happen today would be this:

The worst thing that could happen today would be an encore presentation of an armed insurrection at the Capitol, so maybe let’s do this instead: Watching the Panda Cam is BEARY relaxing!!!! Is there anything more fun than watching Bike play wit Mommee or even just roll around in the den by himself? Be the bear! Bob T Panda Don’t forget! all felty orders during the month of March (known by…
