Category Archives: Bears behaving badly

I resolve not to make any resolutions….

…although it MIGHT be a good idea for the panda kindergarten to resolve a few things, and then the there’s Princess Pinky….how do you solve a problem like a princess?

Hey! here I am on Sunday afternoon, working on my new schedule, which is to bring you the Monday cartoon on Sunday! Huzzah!  Of course, if you don’t check in until Monday, well, the pandas will be here waiting for you.  Mr. Wu Wednesday will continue, although he doesn’t have any adventures planned for a while. I think maybe he should stay home for a little bit, don’t you?

Speaking of planning (who was speaking of planning?….Oh wait, it was me!) If you want to be the first to hear about what I have planned for the next year, you still have time to sign up for my once-in-a-while newsletter.  (I’m sending it out on Tuesday morning) This month, not only is it chock-a-block full of news, I also have prepared a PDF of the entire Wizard of Wu adventure story.  Huzzah!  Buuuuut, the only way you’ll get it is to sign up for my newsletter. It’s the second from the top sign up form on the right hand column, just under the sign-up to get these posts delivered to your inbox.

And now, bring on the bears!

Princess Pinky helps with new years resolutions

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

 

Oh, that adorable Princess Pinky! What will she do next?

Keep Being the Bears,

Day 31: It’s a WUnderful Life – Episode Nine

Oh my! It is not only the last episode of Mr Wu’s most recent adventure, but it is the last day of the year, and even more importantly, the last day of 2013’s 31 Days of Pandas!!!!! Huzzah.  Well, not Huzzah! that daily pandas are coming to an end, but Huzzah! that I managed not to miss a single day of NEW cartoons, every stinkin’ day!

Huzzah! Here are some 31 Days of Pandas statistics that I find interesting in my own pandy little way: There are 245 (plus or minus a panda here and there) drawings of pandas within these 31+ drawings. That is more than an 800% increase over the original year of 30 days of pandas.  (someone might want to check my math on that one.)  There was an average of over 1500 page views per week during the month. Huzzah!  I know that’s not quite the big leagues, but it sure beats the heck out of the early days when 10 views was a really big day for the pandas.

There is much panda-ing in store for 2014. Pandas kept me going through 2013, which quite frankly, felt like a year long Friday the 13th, if you want to know the truth. But enough about that! Let’s have the final episode of It’s a WUnderful Life!

It's a Wonderful Life, parody

Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!

And here’s a little bonus, especially for those of you who have joined the panda fun here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire recently: The Panda Kindergarten’s New Year’s Eve!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

Be the Bear, and thanks for stopping by!

See ya next year!

Just because it’s Black & White Friday…..

…don’t think that we forgot Fabulous Furry Friday! Of course, we must run last year’s brilliant (if I do say so myself, and I do,) satire of the unfortunate (OK, stoopid) incident at a large discount retailer last year….

Black friday shopping tactics

Ah, fall…or something…is in the air!

And if that is not enough silliness to get you out of your turkey coma….

torch bears, money, selling olympic torch

but now what will they do when they get to the Olympics?…..stay tuned!

And in case you were too busy eating one too many pieces of pie yesterday to see this cartoon….

Last Supper, Cupcakes, DaVinci

Princess Pinky says, she is thankful for cuppycakes and da panda kindygarten and her magical wand!

 

Fabulous Furry Friday celebrates the return of the NZ Panda cam!

Woo hoo! Okay, there a few other elements to the government shutdown that were really bad for the national and world economies, but shutting down the National Zoo panda cam was the final straw.  Princess Pinky must be able to address her people, people!

So, in celebration of full access to all pandas everywhere, we bring you several of our all time favorite panda ‘toons for your quick while the boss is out of the office Friday entertainment.

Well, that’s it for this week! Be sure to tune in next week when Princess Pinky returns and we continue with Mr. Wu’s adventure!  And remember, buying my books supports the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, which draws and publishes these cartoons for everyone’s enjoyment of this blog! (kinda like National Panda Radio, you know?)

Have a great weekend! Be the Bear.

It’s Mr Wu Wednesday!

Hello panda fans!  Mr Wu has had to step out of his new adventure, due to certain allegations regarding the NZ panda cam shutdown, but he will be back…um..where ever that adventure is taking place, next week.  We pandy promise!

Are you now, or have you ever been a panda?

Really, if we couldn’t laugh about this, we would start crying.

In celebration of the release of Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten….

…we bring you a new cartoon about none other than the panda kindergarten! Huzzah!  We promise that Princess Pinky will be making occasional appearances on Mini Mei Monday, but she is still too young to have a whole day every week all to herself.  (“no! i isn’t!”)

Varooooooomba! Thanks to Lynnie Ness for alerting us to the "off label" use of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.

And yes! we have released the third volume of the collected cartoons of the Panda Chronicles!  Huzzah! Book 3 is titled: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten!  The wind may howl and rain may fall, but it won’t keep the panda kindergarten from their appointed rounds! This (and all the other books in the series) are available through Amazon and you can find them by following either the link in the right hand column, with the colorful cover, or by going to the page titled “The Panda Chronicles: The Book(s)” at the top of this page.  It’s not too early to get copies for holiday presents!

Meanwhile, Mr. Wu will return on Wednesday with the next episode of his adventure in the Wizard of Wu.  I can hardly wait to see what happens next!

Till then, Be the Bear!

In honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I hereby re-run, in all it’s entirety, Mr Wu’s very first adventure, which I call, A Pirate’s Life for Wu!  Enjoy!

Yo ho ho and a bottle  of BooBeer!

It may be Monday, but the story continues…

Editors note: I realize I may seem to be capricious and uncareful with the cute wu self…sending him off with the panda kindergarten in the middle of the night.  Perhaps an all-Wu-all-the-time cartoon line up on Mondays and Wednesdays will keep you all from tar-and-feathering me.  Maybe?

"Are we there, yet?"

“Are we there, yet?”

 

Come back on Wednesday and see what happens next…

Be the Bear!

Yes, you’ve come to the right place.

Hey! What up with the new design?

For a while I’ve been wanting to “re-decorate” The Panda Chronicles. It was becoming hard for me to read the white on black type, and even through I liked the black and white thing, I also wanted to have a design where I could put something fun and colorful behind the blog.

So….whaddya think?

Meanwhile, Mehitabel has a little problem with the panda kindergarten:

Will Bob ever learn?  will Mehitabel ever get the better of the panda kindergarten?

Will Bob ever learn? will Mehitabel ever get the better of the panda kindergarten?

And don’t forget to tune in on Wednesday for the next episode of Mr. Wu’s new adventure (the nature of which will be revealed in this very episode!  I can hardly wait!)
