The Meihems Will Not Take This Lying Down

“No good can come of allowing other pandas to have opinions”

~Princess Pinky in her recent book: World Domination the Princess Pinky Way

Pinky might be of the opinion that the Meihems have a unfair advantage, what with being twins and more than a month older than Pinky. She could possibly have a point, because from the beginning, they have given as good as they’ve gotten, at least when it comes to Pinky’s shenanigans.

So is it any surprise that they have a response to Pinky’s most recent accusations?

I didn’t think so either!

Pinky: “if i want you to have an opinion, i’ll give it to you!”

A hearty welcome back to pandas fans who once were lost, but now have found their way back to the panda kindergarten, along with new readers who have found us for the first time!

Be the Bear!

Stay tuned for the premiere episode of our latest retold (panda) tales extravaganza starting this Wednesday, coming to an internet cafe near you! It’s a little story we are calling, Pinky in Wonderland! There will probably be a few breaks during the story as we catch up with our reading in the Lewis Carroll original! It’s been a while since I last read it so… also some other pandas were anxious to share their stories, including Zhen Zhen’s big adventure tale (based on a true story!) and the reveal of Bebe Maurice’s new outfit and chosen interest!

Stay right in your seat! You don’t want to miss a single frame!

Well, at least it’s not a crime YET…

I hope everyone who had either a primary election or a special election in your state/district went and voted. It is important that everyone who can vote does. Yes, I meant everyone. If you have to cheat to win an election, well, then it’s not really winning, is it?

Because if you don’t vote, we might end up with something like this:

Things are about as real as they can get.

Oh. Yeah. We did. Well, you should vote anyway, ‘kay?

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

For those of you on the east coast, you are probably wondering where your pandas are….um…I’m pretty sure they are around here somewhere…and while we are on the subject of bears and cuppycakes…(see Wednesday’s shocking expose)

Wait! Here they are now!

another cartoon inspired by real news! (and cuppycakes!)

Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story

All salute the sacred cuppycake!

What makes a panda run? Cuppycakes, of course!!!!

Inspector Panda says, “Know the signs of cuppycake dependency”

Can you calibrate the cuppycake?

I have extra frosting!

If I have but one life to live, let me give it for a cuppycake.

Speaking of a Cuppycake Trap

Wait? WERE we talking about a cuppycake trap? Well, cuppycake trap, perjury trap, it’s kind of all the same thing, isn’t it? Thanks to one of my alert readers, who was the first (yes, Lora, several people brought this story to my attention, but you were the first!) to tell me about this story. Even though we all know that bears that get habituated to humans, always ends up being bad for the bears, who doesn’t love the idea of a bear doing this:

“If they didn’t want me to eat the cuppycakes, they shouldn’t have left them there!”

“I’ll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and one of…”

The bear was not caught this time, but the sad fact is, this bear now has a taste for frosting and he will probably come back for more. I don’t know what the solution is. We have expanded where we humans live and so bears are being crowded out of their habitats and the collision (as opposed to collusion) is inevitable. In Colorado a bear who recently broke into the Post office was euthanized because it was his third human encounter. More than 160 bears have been killed because of people/bear encounters in Colorado in 2017.

Um…is it okay that he ate all the cuppycakes because they were vegan?

Panda On!

You Knew This Was Coming, Didn’t You?

Well, heh heh! Surely you didn’t think Pinky could have an adventure without there being…um…repercussions, did you? And this time, Bubba can’t claim that it was all Pinky’s idea, since he and Ping Ping went off to Toronto to say goodbye to his friends Yip and Jip all on his own. The only true innocent here is Ping Ping.

You’re all grounded!

Well, she DID bring it back, and really, it should have been hers anyway.

Meanwhile in Pinky and Bubba’s home city, chaos proceeds apace, as the departures from the administration ramps up to unprecedented levels. Buckle your seatbelts, panda fans. The ride is going to be bumpier than we ever imagined possible! But hey! Great employment statistics …for lawyers!

The Pandas have arrived in Calgary (for real!) and they have begun to meet their public! stay tuned for more from Canada’s sweethearts, Yip and Jip!

Panda On!

I’m Late! I’m Late!

WHAT TIME IS IT!?!?!!? CWAP! I FORGOT TO SET UP A POST!!!!!

Ahem…

Fortunately, the panda kindergarten is always available to assist in your preparations for the weekend! Join us for this weeks salute to Bears Behaving Badly!

Fabulous Furry Friday Presents…

Who says real life can’t be funny?

well, if I can’t carry it through security, can I eat it now?

Is this a film of the pandy kindy?

pass the cookies, okay?

Huzzah! Misery bear!

To the moon, Alice!

Fart jokes!

OMG! Not a SINGLE ‘toon with Pinky! (She’s resting up for her appearance on Sunday!)

Panda On!
Bob T don’t let the door hit you on the way out Panda

Don’t let the Panda Fly the Helicopter

What could possibly go wrong?

Pinky, Bubba and Ping are heading for home, but surely you didn’t think this would go smoothly, did you? Did you????

Did you?

I wonder what this button over here does….AAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Panda On

WE now return to our story…

Yes, we have returned to our story of Bubba and Ping’s visit to the Canadian twins, before they moved across the country from Toronto to Calgary. I’m sorry I interrupted it (several times) but stuff happened that I wanted to do ‘toons about sooner rather than later, and so there you have it.

But why can’t you just do extra days of ‘toons to keep up with all the stories?, you might say. And to you I would say….

Even a bear has to sleep sometimes!

So now, on with our story!

So THAT’S how Pinky got there so quickly!

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.

The secret lives of the wild panda!

You better watch out….

Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet?

You would think that Pinky would have figured out how to avoid Mommee Mei’s resolutions lists by now, but you would be mistaken. Fortunately, all she ever suggests for Bubba is that he chew his food well. Meanwhile, maybe Ping Ping will resolve to learn a few words in English, but on the other hand, I think he is very expressive, even with his limited vocabulary.

Pinky: “Why do I need resolutions when I’m already perfect?”
A fair question, indeed!

resolutions

Pinky: “rules are for other pandas.”

The files for the latest volume of The Panda Chronicles: The Pinky Defense are being reviewed even as we speak. After putting together 8 books of the cartoons, it finally seems (I say seems, because…) to be going smoothly, with no issues flagged by the printer, so I think it’s high time I reveal the cover, don’t you?

Thanks again to my Twitter friend from across the pond, @law_geek, for suggesting this title. The community of panda fans is awesome in the extreme!

Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?

Viva les Pandas!
