Thank Goodness Fabulous Furry Friday isn’t on Monday

…because then it would have to be something like “Marvelous Munchie Monday” or something like that.

We are having a burst of summer like weather, which, if I was still in school, I would be looking longingly out the window, wishing I could frolic in the sunshine…Wait a minute…I am inside, looking out the window!

OK, well, here are some ‘toons to get your through the weekend! Then I’m going outside!

No nonsense to be found here!

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

You Say it’s Your Birthday….

Oh my ears and whiskers! Princess Pinky’s fans have been at the zoo for HOURS, the cake has been licked and climbed upon, Pinky has opened her presents, and the forces of Meihem have been corralled (for the moment.)

Fortunately, Inspector Panda has his able assistant on the scene, working undercover.

The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.

Tune in tomorrow afternoon for the post party wrap up. (Is this any way to treat an icon?)

Hey, I almost forgot! You can still get the ibook version of Pandamorphosis for FREE through the weekend! Here’s the link. Woo hoo!

Holy cuppycakes, Batman, It’s Birthday Eve!

Yes, it is Fabulous Furry Friday , and rather than our usual practice of running an …ahem…encore presentation, in honor of Princess Pinky Bao Bao’s first birthday eve, we have a
Brand.
New.
Cartoon!

That’s correct, panda fans, because we think you deserve the best! So, without further ado, here is Princess Pinky’s Birthday Eve ‘toon:

Is this any way to treat our Nation's most adorable icon?

Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?

And yes, a birthday (actual day of) cartoon is in the works.  I’ll…sigh…be home here working…while all of you are drinking bootinis, eating cuppycakes, dancing on the table with pandas, off in Washington DC…sigh..really, don’t give it another thought…

Be the …sigh…bear

And…um…by the way.. while I wait for final approval to actually SELL Pandamorphosis as an iBook, you can download it for FREE, yes, you heard that right. Go to your iBook store and get your copy, and if you are in the mood, slip me a few stars if you like it. :o) (for iPad and other IOS devices and Macs : Kindle version coming soon!)

Let’s have some more MEIHEM!

Oh, yeah… the meihems are on the warpath, so Pinky better watch out!

Inspector panda

Will the twins get a merit badge for their road trip? will Lun Lun fess up to where the girls are? will Inspector Panda get a clue, or at least more twitter followers. Stay tuned!

Bao Bao, washington DC cover-up

Oh, Pinky…what have you done?

Tune in tomorrow for another episode of Inspector Panda!

More of the Best of Pinky Panda

I didn’t want to leave you hanging in the story of Pinky, the Meihems, and the great Highway Closure scandal…

...of course Boo-mints are pretty good too.

…of course Boo-mints are pretty good too.

Tune in tomorrow for one more episode…

Bob what did you buy me? T Panda

Don’t Get Mad, Get Panda

So…

You may remember a little incident earlier this year, when Pinky used her computer skills to close all the highways leading to Zoo Atlanta, and re-route them to the National Zoo in Washington DC? And it really messed up the Meihem twins’ (Bert and Ernie) Panda Scout cookie sale? And then Inspector Panda showed up and made things worse?

Well! As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold.

If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.

If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.

Pinky never should have messed with the Meihems! Tune in again tomorrow as we bring you more of the Best of Pinky to celebrate Princess Pinky Pandas birthday week!

And a note to my book buying fans, I just started work on organizing cartoons for the next Panda Chronicle book, Book 5: Pandapocalypse Now! which features Pinky and the Meihems! Huzzah! My cunning plan is to be done with all the work of formatting the book by mid September, which means it will be available for your holiday shopping.  Huzzah!

I also plan to get back on the newsletter routine, at which I have been woefully inadequate  these last few months, so if you are not already signed up, now is the time, because I will have some fun news to announce and I am going to do it there first!  So if you want to be able to say “nyah, nyah, I already knew all about that,” get yourself up to the top of the right hand column and sign yourself up where it says, “Get Even More Pandas” ‘Kay?

Buy Pinky presents!

If a Cuppycake Falls in the Forest Part 2

Once again, we return to the story of a bear that loved cuppycakes not wisely, but too well.  So, what happens after a bear becomes famous for behaving badly?

He goes on a talk show, of course!

Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story

Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story

As luck would have it, one of my faithful readers actually knows the people this happened to! No, really!!!! So here’s an email that they sent to all of their friends, to tell them of the incident:

“Hi All~
“Don’t know if you caught this in your local news, but we had an exciting first birthday party for our son Jackson!  Minutes before guests were arriving at our house, a black bear climbed on our roof and fell through our skylight!  
“Thankfully no one was hurt.  Glenn and the bear had a bit of a stand off   The bear ate some cupcakes and then I was able to shoo him out the back door.  This crazy stuff only happens in Alaska!

You can read the real news story here. And special thanks to another faithful reader who suggested that maybe the party Mr Bear crashed was one of the panda kindergarten’s birthday season parties. (I lost track of who that was…please comment here so I can give you credit -or blame. :o) )

Keep being the bear!

If A Cuppycake Falls in the Forest…

…and there is no one there to hear it, who gets to eat the cuppycake?

Well, this may be a first for the Panda Chronicles, a cartoon with no pandas! However, this panda-less tale comes to us from none other than panda chronicler par excellence`, Henry Nicholls, Author of The Way of the Panda. Henry was kind enough to alert me to the story of a bear in Alaska, who followed his nose to a cuppycake birthday party.

I am not making (some of) this up.

Cuppycakes are to bears as toast is to otters.

Cuppycakes are to bears as toast is to otters.

And although there are no pandas in this particular episode, Mr B. Bear has agreed to appear on the Mehitabel Tonite! Show next week, to talk about his traumatic ordeal. Won’t that be fun?

And while you are thinking about cuppycakes, I think you should hop (or galumph, depending on how many cuppycakes you have eaten today) on over to V Something Speaks and read  the first recipe of The Panda Chronicles Cuppycake Cookbook! It celebrates Princess Pinky, who as everyone knows, is having her first birthday next month.

And, um…Mr Wu has his birthday next week.  We haven’t forgotten you, Mr Wu.  You will always be number one with me!

mr wu speaks out.

Woe is Wu…upstaged by a bunch of gurls!

You might want to watch the San Diego Zoo pandacam on Tuesday morning, for Mr Wu’s birthday party.  Last year his girlfriends at the zoo made him an absolutely spectacular cake for his first birthday, and I’m sure they will attempt to out-do themselves this year.

I hope you are off to a panda-ful week!

Be the Bear (any kind of bear, really!)

They are watching you!

Once again, news from the real world inspires me with tales of pandas doing stuff that they shouldn’t be doing.  Thanks to Panda-spondant Charlene J. for alerting me to the story on unmanned drones being used to track wild pandas. We are still working on the story about the bear that fell through a skylight in Alaska, (NOT a panda, I might point out) in a brazen attempt to gobble up cuppycakes at a birthday party.  Dude! Just ring the bell! I’m sure they would ask you in if you would just ask politely!

Every move you make, we'll be watching you!

Every move you make, we’ll be watching you!

This is an excellent learning opportunity for the panda kindergarten! I mean learning about science and wild pandas. What did you think I meant?

Be the bear!

And be sure to tune in next time when Inspector Panda returns!

 

Selfies at The Running of the Bulls

Oh, this “selfies in perilous situations” craze is getting totally out of hand. First tiger selfies, then selfies at the Tour de France, and now, oh…i can barely bear to think about it.

Selfies at the running of the bulls.  I am not making this up.

AAAAAAhhhHHHHHH!

AAAAAAhhhHHHHHH!

Maybe it would be better to take a selfie at the running of the pandas.

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

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

I smell frosting!

Meanwhile, I’ve made another guest post appearance, this time over at VSomethingSpeaks.  Check it out for more insight into the Way of the Panda (Satire). (sorry, Henry!)

Hope you enjoyed the Meihem twins special birthday ‘toon yesterday! I suppose I will have to do something special for Princess Pinky now, huh?

Be the Bear,
