It’s Panda Birthday Season!

Leave a reply

I think on Thursday it is the Meihem’s 13th birthday, and then Pinky’s newest twins, Four and Five have birthdays coming up later this week. (I think?) On the 29th it will be Mr. Wu’s 14th birthday! How can this be? I remember when he was a baby!

“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “

Just in case you were feeling sympathetic toward Minch McTurtle…

Two headed, two faced…why is he still here?

I am still getting my disoriented self back in the correct time zone so please forgive this disjointed post.

Here is something for the Meihems!

Mr Wu speaks out!
If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.
Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?

Where we have Meihems, Pinky is sure to be involved. Or is that Meihem always follows Pinky?

I hope this holds you till I am able to hit the panda desk again!

Be the Bear!

One More From the Archives, Before Getting Back to Work

Leave a reply

Um…you call this work?

So, I have been on a top secret mission to Iceland and Scotland, but alas, there are no pandas remaining in Scotland, although I did see a cow or two that looked like they might be distant relations. I was attending an art retreat, about an hour outside of Edinburgh. It was fabulous! As soon as I get organized (ha ha ha ha ha!) and scan the drawings I did in my sketch books, I will share them, most likely over on Substack, where I am Friendly to Bears. (because of course I am.)

So, it was Tai Shan’s bear-day this week, and he turned 21! But I was not making panda satire back when he was a cubby so I only have a couple references of him in the ‘toons.

This is one of my favorites:

oops.
Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
Beware, the power of the paw!
Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.
Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?
Never say “No” to a Pinky!

I knew there was a reference somewhere about Tai giving Pinky her magical wand!

Anyway, back to work next week with some new ‘toons for your enjoyment!

Be the bear, Everyone!

The Exciting Conclusion of Being Endangered is Such a Curse…and a few other favorites!

Pinky is in SO Much trouble!

Everyone knows the party isn’t over till you can sit down and re-hash it!

And that’s how Six and Sebben got their names! I’m not entirely sure that the attempting poofing didn’t have some long term effects…

All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????
Bears will be bears

Wasn’t that fun? Here’s a few other favorites from the archives…

But some pandas go both ways!
It’s so hard to be cool when you still live with your mom.

Mr Wu wellness cubbie exam with the green ball is one of my all time favorites!

what will the panda kindergarten do next?

Well, I hope you enjoyed this extended dive into the archives! I’m pretty much done with the work for my upcoming paint show, and returning from a much needed trip, so I expect there will be new ‘toons shortly!

Now where were we…oh yes, Pinky arrives at the Naming Day Party of Six and Sebben, uninvited and MAD….

Won’t someone save these innocent little pandas???
Oh Bubba! Be careful!!!!
Did Pinky just poof her little brother? Stay tuned!
But all the power in the world is nothing compared to the power of Mommee!
Bubba: wait! why am i in trubble?
I think I see a slight resemblance to a Pinky tantrum…just saying.

Oh my…I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mommee Mei so mad at Pinky!
‘Toon in next time for the exciting conclusion! (Can we take more excitement? I don’t know…)

More From the Archives!

Leave a reply

As I finish up my work for my upcoming show, I find I need to lean on the archives a little bit more. Of course that means you get a BUNCH of ‘toons instead of just one, so not all bad!

Let’s see what bubbles to the surface…

Back in the before times…

What happens at the debate, states at the debate…
Uh oh. Is Bubba about to rat someone out?

sigh…if only…

Whoever could it be, to see Pinky in her lair?
Oh Bubba! What were you thinking?
Just what kind of deal is Pinky making?

Didn’t anyone tell Pinky if you have to cheat, you’re not winning? Hmm…

Um…I had some fluff in my eyes….
What goes around, comes around…

Can you blame him? Who doesn’t love ice cream?

I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives!

Are we still in a war? do we have an completely insane “president” whose mental derailment is being completely ignored by the Cabinet and VP who are the only ones who could actually do something about this? Are we running around muttering oh no oh no oh no?

This aggression will not stand, man!

Let’s have a fun panda story from the archives to distract ourselves!

Before Pinky poofed the Meihems into being girls! Don’t tell Mittens!

Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!
Uh oh. All is not well in Pandyland!
Sweet dreams, little bears!

Uh oh….

Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.

It’s Summer and You Know What That Means!

It means that Pinky is going to palm off her little darlings, Four and Five, off on her parents for fun times at Camp Grandmei!

What could possibly go wrong?

I was reminded, by the travesty that happened at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue last weekend of a ‘toon I did back in 2018. “So absurd!” I thought! “Nothing like this could ever happen!” I foolishly concluded.

Sigh…

Things are about as real as they can get.

Mr Wu Is Feeling Neglected

2 Replies

Sorry, it’s been another crazy busy week, but I’m making progress on exhibition stuff, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more relaxed week next week. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Since we are coming up on Mr. Wu’s birthday season next month, I thought I’d share one of the Mr. Wu Stories, with more coming in the next couple of weeks. I can’t believe he’s going to turn 14 this July!!!! That does not seem possible.

Here is one of Mr Wu’s early encounter with the Panda Kindergarten…

Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?
Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?
“Up in the Air, Junior Pandas…”
Nothing like a snappy graphic to um…solve a problem!
May Day! May Day!

I just had to include something with that provocative “rear panda view” you know!

Well, I hope you enjoyed Mr Wu’s big adventure!

More to come next week!
