Day 14: It’s a Wun-derful Life

We are back with another holiday classic, It’s a Wun-derful Life! Huzzah! Mr Wu is given the gift of seeing what the world would be like if he had never been born. But why are we standing around here talking?

On with the show!!!!

it's a wonderful life

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.

It's a wonderful life

Wu is a good bear at heart….

Oh the suspense is killing me! What is going to happen next?

Be the Bear!

PS: Several people commented that they wished the PandyClaws and his sleigh (and a tiny Pinky Panda) image was on a coffee mug. Well, guess what! Now it is!

The Panda’s New Clothes

It’s Day 13 of 31 Days of Pandas, and as promised, today we have a new cartoon featuring Bubba (and of course his big sister Princess Pinky) and today Bubba get’s his official Panda Chronicles outfit! Like Pinky with her tutu and tiara, and the Meihem twins with their Panda Scout Uniforms, I knew Bubba would need a signature outfit to show to the world.

And here it is!

And look! He got a little extra present too!

Thanks to Cyndi Anderson who reminded me of the propeller beanie! And if you enjoy these ‘toons, please share them with your panda/humor loving friends. The best way to ensure world domination of panda satire is to share it with your friends!

Huzzah! And did you notice that today is sort of a numerical palindrome? Day 13-31 Days…okay, I did say sort of.

See you tomorrow for the start of It’s a Wun-derful Life!

Day 12, 31 Days of Pandas

We’re making a list,
Of presents and stuff,
We hope we get lots,
Or we’ll be real gruff,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!

We put out some cake
With frosting galore,
Hey that looks good,
Maybe I should have more,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!

He knows where you are sleeping,
And when you are awake.
He’s got a list from Pinky,
That will cause his sleigh to break!

Oh!

You better not get
Into Pinky’s way.
You have been warned ,
That’s all I can say,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!!!!!!

Leaping out of his holiday wrapping, we want to take this little gift home with us!

And don’t forget, tomorrow we reveal Bubba’s official Panda Chronicles outfit! Don’t miss it!

Day 11, 31 Days of Pandas

Having finished up with The Wizard of Wu this week, I thought I would wait until next Monday to start the next Encore Presentation of another Panda-Adventure story. Because it ’tis the season, next week get ready for…

It’s a Wun-derful Life, starring, you guessed, it, Mr Wu!!!!!!

Quiet in cheap seats! I’m allowed to play favorites, and since Pinky just got a whole ‘nother book, almost to herself, I thought the Wu-Self should get a little more air time. Plus Pinky and Bubba will be here with an all new cartoon on Sunday where we reveal Bubba’s official Panda Chronicles outfit! Huzzah!!!!!!

I’d also like to take this opportunity, as it is also Fabulous Furry Friday, to mention that there is no better time than now to give the gift of panda satire! With >6< books plus the all new Panda Chronicles Coloring Book, not to mention Pandamorphosis, to choose from, and lots of goodies available from The Pandyland Store on Cafe Press and suitable for framing illustration reproductions from Pandamorphosis, there is something for everyone on your gift giving list.

Okay, comercial over! Bring on the bears!

excessive photoshopping of celebrities

I’m ready for my close-up…um..I am, aren’t I?

Remember the early days of Pinky and her magical wand? Here’s Pinky’s first news conference!

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

Princess Pinky helps with new years resolutions

You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….

Sometimes I think that I shouldn’t comment on the serious issues of the day. Then I remember that bringing light and laughter into the world is important. That’s our mission here at The Panda Chronicles. The news has been far too seriously ugly of late. I say embrace your inner panda and let’s be kinder and gentler.  Okay?

annoyed moviegoer allegedly shoots two for texting in movietheater

Don’t try this at home….

Don’t forget to tune in tomorrow for some more panda fun from The Panda Chronicles!

Day 10, 31 Days of Pandas

Rather than start another one of my longer stories today, I thought I’d dive deep deep deep into the archives for one of my …um…quirkier stories. What made me think of this story was a post from Colorado writer Kathy Lynn Harris, who I discovered through The Write Life Magazine. She had written an essay there that made me an instant fan. The story also, just possibly made me spew coffee all over my laptop, since I had the bad sense to drink while reading. Not that I blame her, or anything.

Anyway, a recent re-read of this post made me decide to dig my own tribute to Barbie out of the archives and share it with you here.

Enjoy! This one’s for you, Kathy.

Day 9, 31 days of Pandas

Well, we have made it to Day 9 of 31 Days of Pandas, and we are at the end of our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu! Wasn’t that fun?  When we left you yesterday, Princess Pinky had just vanquished the Wicked Cat Witch of the West!  But what happens when our heroes return to the lair of The Wizard, to claim their prize?

Let’s see, shall we?

Return to the wizard

Don’t mess with Princess Pinky!

finale of wizard of wu

All well that ends well. Now let’s have some cuppycakes!!!

Don’t Go Away! 

We will have a NEW story starting tomorrow. Okay, not a new, new story. It is another encore presentation, but isn’t this better than doing spreadsheets or 2016 income forecasts for your office?

See ya tomorrow, okay?

Day 8, 31 Days of Pandas

Huzzah! We are back again for 31 Days of Pandas, and our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu! Yesterday, the Wicked Cat Witch of the West sent her henchpandas out to capture Wu and his magical bunny slippers! Will they succeed? Let’s find out!

The panda kindergarten captures Mr Wu

Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!

escape from the wicked witch

Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?

Uh oh! Am I going to leave you with only two more episodes to go? Well, yes I am. Bwahahahaha! Will the identity of the wizard be revealed? will wu get home safely? will there be cuppycakes for all?

Tune in tomorrow to see if all has ended happily! although, if you already had The Book of Wu, you would know the answer to these questions. Just saying.

Be the Bear,

Day 7, 31 Days of Pandas

31 Days of Pandas now continues with The Wizard of Wu!

We hope you have been enjoying this concentrated dose of pandy goodness. If you have been enjoying it, I hope you will share our stories with your friends. They might not know they are pandaholics (yet) but I believe that everyone with a sense of humor has the potential to embrace their inner panda.

And now, on with the show! On Saturday, We left Wu and his intrepid companions here:

the good witch saves Wu and Co.

Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!

Xiao Liwu gets a bath

Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?

Wizard of Oz spoof

But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!

although I DID promise there would be NO flying monkeys…

the wicked witch unleashes the flying monkeys

Ride you pandas! Ride!

What could be scarier than the panda kindergarten on tricycles!?!

See you again tomorrow for Day 8 of 31 Days of Pandas and the next installment from our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu!

Be the Bear,

31 days of Pandas Day 6

31 Days of Pandas, day 6, and at last! A new ‘toon!

It was Bubba’s 100th day birthday earlier this week, and the panda fans of DC gathered to celebrate, even though the guest of honor has not yet made his public debut! Thanks to my good friend and videographer to the (panda) stars, Doxie M Panda (my cousin on my mother’s side), we can see some of the highlights (so far!) of Bubba’s first 100 days.

Princess Pinky is looking forward to another kind of first 100 days, but maybe she shouldn’t count her chickens too soon and all that.

Meanwhile, let’s join the celebration…

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

Tomorrow, we rejoin Mr. Wu and the whole cast of The Wizard of Wu, as the story continues. If you are tuning in late, you can start here.

I would also like to send out a birthday greeting to one of Princess Pinky’s most faithful pandarazzi! Happy Birthday Daniel Reidel. May your lens never fog, may your batteries be fully charged, and may Princess Pinky never grab the camera out of your hands and demand a ransom to get it back. Have a cuppycake! Huzzah!

Be the bear ya’ll and thank you for visiting!
