Fat Bear Week continues, but even more importantly, It’s OctoBEAR and that means Halloweenie! And as I previously mentioned, that means for the next couple of Sunday’s we will be having our annual special encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu!
So let’s get started, shall we?
The Wizard of Wu Part 1We’re in for it now, Binky!Hang on to your hats, kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!I don’t think we’re in Pandiego any more, Binky….What could be waiting outside? Where the heck ARE we, Binky?
Toon in next week for the next installment of The Wizard of Wu!
Be the Bear! Bob T Panda
A Reminder for the Holiday Season
USPS has made plans to slow down deliveries…why? Because they can, also Louie De, so if you are planning to order pandas for the holidays, order early, so they can actually get to you on time. After last years debacle (at least one priority mail package mailed on December 7 did not arrive until January 10th-ish.) I would rather not mail any packages after December 1st. Right now I have a fairly relaxed production schedule, so unless it’s a big order, I can still get pandas done in a week or so.
We are in the tail end of September (How the heck did THAT happen????) which means that it’s almost October, and you know what that means! It’s almost time for our annual rebroadcast of The Wizard of Wu!!! Once upon a time, a long looooong time ago (when there were only 3 major networks to choose from!!!!) The Wizard of Oz was rebroadcast every year right around Halloween.
This was so long ago, that when I first started watching this movie, we only had a black and white TV, so even when they got to Oz, it was still all in black and white. Eventually we got a color TV and I was so excited to watch the annual encore presentation of The Wizard of Oz, because IT WAS GOING TO BE IN LIVING COLOR!!!! Imagine my surprise, when the first and last part WERE STILL IN BLACK AND WHITE!?!?!?!?!?!?!
WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!!!!!?????
I guess only Oz gets to be in color. Any of you who live in Kansas…is it still that way?
No matter…we just need to kill a little time until next Sunday when The Wizard of Wu will come to you in several parts, followed by A Halloween Carol (starring PINKY!!!!)
Let’s see what comes up from the archive wayback machine for today!
Will Bob ever learn NOT to turn his back on the panda kindergarten? No, we didn’t think so, either.I have extra frosting!another cartoon inspired by real news!Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this storyInspector Panda says, “Know the signs of cuppycake dependency”Legalize cake today! Prevent illicit cuppycake activities.All salute the sacred cuppycake!
A quick note about Fezbook: as you all know, on Fezbook, I am Bob T Panda, a claim I can not actually substantiate with any actual documentation. Should the powers that be ever find me out, or if I lose my account to some foul hacker, I will not be able to get my account back without revealing my true identity. I do not want to do this, since the powers that be have proved themselves to be soulless cretins who sell our private data to the highest bidder and allow actual trumpsters and fascists to spread misinformation and hateful rhetoric. If I should lose my account, I will not go back. You can always find me here or over on Twidder @pandachronicle
So, of course, I am legally obligated to rerun the Wu the Pirate series.
I don’t make the rules here!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!Wu does not have any paddlesAn explorer’s work is never done.Mister Wu and his new friends.“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”
I hope you enjoyed this first Wu adventure, just in time to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day 2021! ARRRRRRR!
And remember, all felty orders through Saturday September 25th will include a Wu the Pirate embroidered iron on patch!
While the panda birthday season continues (Yang Yang of Zoo Atlanta just had his birthday this week) we have finished with the major birthdays in The Panda Chronicles personalities, so that leaves me with a round up of ‘toons from Septembers!
But never fear! October is just around the corner and we will have our annual broadcasts of The Wizard of Wu and A Halloween Carol, two of my favorite stories!
So sit back, and enjoy while I rummage around in the past September ‘toons from the archives!
Do we have to count panda adoption fees?Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.Varooooooomba! Thanks to Lynnie Ness for alerting us to the “off label” use of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!We’re waiting…*tappity tap pity tap*
We’ll be back with new ‘toons on Tuesday!
BTW: I’m taking orders for halloween felty pandas, so if you would like to add to your themed holiday pandas, now is the time! Order by September 30th for arrival in October!

Stay tuned!But all the power in the world is nothing compared to the power of Mommee!Bubba: wait! why am i in trubble?I think I see a slight resemblance to a Pinky tantrum…just saying.Everyone knows the party isn’t over till you can sit down and re-hash it!All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????
I hope you enjoyed our Encore presentation of Being Endangered is Such a Curse! Have a Liddle cake to celebrate! (Not to mention all the propeller spinning on Bubba’s cap!)
I think we are coming up on Six and Sebben’s birthday, so…

Well, I guess we will have to wait till next Sunday for the conclusion of this story! Look at the time!
As a special treat, we thought we would share the story of Beary Poppins in it’s entirety, while Bikkie recovers from his CAKE extravaganza!
Here we go!
Oh boy! Oh boy! A NEW story!!!!I can hardly stand the suspense! Who will play Beary Poppins???A spoonful of frosting makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down!The ad is mailed, but Mittens is up to some dirty tricks….But wait! Look who found the mail box!!!Bears are VERY curious!This hat doesn’t make me look…um…too fluffy does it?Frank is off on a new adventure!Beary Poppins has arrived! Is there any cake? It’s been a long flight!I wonder why no one else applied for the job! I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.Why DIDN’T I eat all the cookies?Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Well, this is getting a bit long, so I will set up the rest of beary Poppins to post on MONDAY (which is Pinky’s birthday
Yes, today we celebrate Bubba’s Birthday Season! But first we must have a small bit of celebration that there is another panda birth to herald! Jia Jia and Kai Kai have just had their first cubby! All of Singapore is rejoicing tonight! (Well, I assume all of Singapore is, I mean, why wouldn’t they?) Not least of which, Aunty Lucilla, teller of tales about pandas, was thrilled to make the announcement! Congratulations Jia Jia and Kai Kai!
And now, some ‘toons about Bubba, with maybe a tiny bit of interloping by Pinky.
PP: um, dis is not going to interrupt my presidential campaign, is it?Mr Bun has a question, daddee.
Okay, the next ones are going to be about Bubba…I’m almost certain!
Feed me, Mama!Really, Pinky….It’s not nice to tease your little brother.What the well dressed panda cub is wearing this season!You better watch out….And then there was the day he had to figure out what to wear for his debut…I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.
Of course no trip down memory lane would be complete without one of my all time favorite ‘toons…
See? I told you it was broken!
Okay…so maybe EVERY ‘toon had Pinky in it. what can I say? #ClapLouder
There is so much going on, most of which I really don’t even want to think about: the ongoing surge in coronavirus, brought on, at least in part by the unwillingness of a sizable portion of the population that could get vaccinated, but won’t. The cancer death of another acquaintance, the continuing (and escalating) dangerous lies about the election and subsequent attempted coup.
And MAYBE I did not acknowledge a certain little panda princess’s birthday on the actual day…
Sigh…
Meanwhile, it is now birthday month for the trio from DC, the offspring of the Xiang Tian Clan, so I guess all of the Sunday roundups for the entire month will have to be about them!
Gee…I wonder if I have any ‘toons about Pinky...#ClapLouder
Pinky tests her powers….oops.Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….
And, of course, one of my personal favorites…
Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.
Maybe by the time this hits the cyber waves, Huan Huan will have gifted us with a pair of cubby siblings to BeBe Maurice! If not, this will give you some reading material while you wait!
It is also the birthday of the actual Princess Pinkie’s own little princess, Princess Pinky Junior, also known as Dou Ban, who has joined the family of Xi Dou, along with her brother Chao Tianjiao.
Since she is just turning a year old, I don’t have the deep archive that I have for Mr. Wu, but I DO have her introduction story for The Panda Chronicles!
So get some poppy corn, mebbee a bootini, and sit back to enjoy a little story we called “Pinky’s Dream!”
