Holiday Classic* A Halloween Carol

Leave a reply

(*Well, it IS a classic at the Panda Chronicles, OKAY???????)

Yes, It’s time for my favorite (okay, one of my favorites) holiday classic encore presentations, A Halloween Carol – with apologies to Charles Dickens. Something about this retelling of A Christmas Carol always tweaks my funny bone. Starring Princess Pinky (of course) (#ClapLouder) with appearances by The Mayhem Twins, Mommee Mei, The Wu Self, and in his very first feature presentation, Babee Bei Bei Bubba!

So, grab some popcorn or mebbee a cuppycake, and some boo cola, and sit back and enjoy….A Halloween Carol – with apologies, yadda yadda yadda…

Bubba’s first feature role!

you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…

Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?

Hey! who said Wu could poof things?

One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.

Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…

Was that list in small type, single spaced?

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

I hope you enjoyed our Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol! Tune in again next week for more from The Panda Chronicles, and if you don’t have all of the books of our collected comics, do visit our book page and take care of that right now!

Is now a good time to remind you:

A Halloween Carol, The Final Episode

19 Replies

The spirits of Halloween past, present, and future have all visited Pinky, leaving her a wiser Pinky, if not…um…completely reformed.

Surely you didn’t think that would happen, did you?

And now, A Halloween Carol, part 10, the final chapter….

Surely you didn't think she would totally reform, did you?

I didn’t know Pinky knew the word “share,” did you?

Don’t forget! Copies of The Panda Chronicles Book 6: We R Endangered are now on sale, along with all the other Panda Chronicle books! Did I mention they make excellent presents?

Number nine…number nine… in the ninth episode of A Halloween Carol, we discover what Pinky fears most! But if you are a follower of Pinky and her exploits, I’m guessing that you already know.

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Yup, the only thing that Pinky fears is…not being the center of attention the universe. Are you surprised? No, me neither.

Meanwhile in other news, films and photograph of a “Beaver Relocation Program” in Idaho have recently surfaced. We definitely plan to issue a cartoonic response to this news story, so be sure to tune in each week on Sundays and Wednesdays for the latest in panda satire. I think the panda kindergarten was very inspired by this video and is planning something, although I don’t know exactly what. I thought I heard them whispering something about “rat overrun in NYC” and “Mr. Kitty”, but I didn’t catch all of it. Stay tuned!

Don’t forget to come back on Friday, when Fabulous Furry Friday shares vintage halloween cartoons from our archives!

PS: don’t forget Book 6 of The Panda Chronicles: We R Endangered is now available! Huzzah! and need we mention they make great gifts? Give the gift of Panda Satire today!

That is quite some list Mei Xiang has clutched in her paws, isn’t it? A Halloween Carol is approaching it’s climax, and I still don’t think Pinky has repented her past misdeeds. Is she ready to be president?

Why not vote for Bob?

Was that list in small type, single spaced?

Was that list in small type, single spaced? And it’s “present” not “presents.”

Not to mention that Pinky is doing some serious eye-rolling in panel 3, plus what a pouty face in panel 2. Is this what you want from your president? Just saying. Hey! Why not vote for Bob?
Be the Bear!
Vote for Bob!

We are getting down to it now! The spirit of Halloween present (NOT presents!) has just arrived and has a list and is checking it twice. And what list do we think that paragon of panda obstreperousness is on?

You be the judge, in episode seven of A Halloween Carol...

Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky...

Meanwhile, copies of The Panda Chronicles Book 6: We R Endangered are reaching their new homes and sounds of laughter are welling up around the globe. Do you have YOUR copy yet? Well why the heck not? Support panda satire! Save the pandas! We R Endangered!!!!

I’m pretty sure this is not going to end well. The jig is really and truly up. It is hard to hide your misdeeds from the supernatural world and these spirits are not pleased. And this is just the ghosts of Halloween PAST!!!! What will happen when we get to present and future?

I shudder to think. So, let’s get right to A Halloween Carol, part six!

Hmmm... Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.

I’m sure if Charles Dickens knew about pandas, he would have put a couple of them into one of his books.

News Flash!

Twin panda cubs were born at the Toronto Zoo in the wee hours of Tuesday morning! Mother and cubs appear to be doing well, and at least several “twin swaps” have been performed. Pandas from around the world have been sending their congratulations. The paternity has not been determined as yet, and Er Shun isn’t telling.  Another pandyland scandal in the works? We can only hope. Da Mao could not be reached for comment.

And now, on with our regularly scheduled cartoon!

Pinky is being Pinky in this next episode of A Halloween Carol (with apologies to Charles Dickens) as Mr. Wu introduces the first of the spirits who will show Pinky the error of her ways.

One of Pinky's misdeeds has come back to haunt her... can her campaign survive this?

Through the magic of the flashback panel, Pinky cannot deny that she was, indeed, naughty. Perhaps an evening of panda videos is in order.

That Pinky is such a little Dickens, isn’t she?

Yes! at last! here it is! The next episode of A Halloween Carol, starring that precious peripatetic panda, Princess Pinky, in her most challenging role to date, that of a mean, demanding, panda that… oh yes, that’s true. This is not a terribly demanding role for Pinky.

But meanwhile, she has been wreaking havoc in Washington DC by coloring the White House Pink. OK, sure, they may SAY that it is to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month, but we know better, don’t we?

So now, without further ado, here is the next episode of A Halloween Carol (staring you know who!)

Hey! who said Wu could poof things?

Hey! Who said Wu could poof things?

And for those who haven’t yet heard, Book 6 of the Panda Chronicles has arrived! Huzzah! Check it out and order your copy here! And if you already have received your copy, consider writing a review on Amazon, good, bad, or otherwise. Pandas are standing by!

Well, well, well…what would Mr. Dickens say about this representation of Jacob Marley? Will Pinky listen to the lessons that the various spirits are going to bring her?  We shall see, we shall see, in this episode of A Halloween Carol…

Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don't you think?

Oh my! What will happen next? who will represent the spirits of past, present and future? Do you think I know? Ha! Stay tuned as we all find out just what is going to happen in the next exciting episode of:

A Halloween Carol: Episode 4 (with continuing profuse apologies to Mr. Dickens!)

Editors note: in the event of a panda cam shutdown at The National Zoo, there will be NO discontinuation of cartoons here at the Panda Chronicles! Huzzah! (Linked article is from the last time this happened! Apparently Pinky is not considered an “essential government worker”)
