And now, a Poem from your Preferred Panda, Ping

Pandas like the letter “P”

Sorry for the late posting. I’ve been burning the midnight oil, the dawn coffee, and all the hours in between as I get ready for my painting show in July. where oh where did the time go?

Panda on!

Time to spin the Wayback Wheel and see what turns up!

Some weeks I have a time to expound upon, and then I look for archived ‘toons that illuminate that theme. Other weeks I have no idea what I’m thinking of and then I just have to spin the wheel and see what pops up.

One thing you can be sure of, it’s likely that Pinky will be involved!

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

Well…no Pinky in that one! let’s try again!

Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!
And what better talk show is there, than Mehitabel Tonite!?
I really had no idea what she was up to.
Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!

Well as Pinky all says, you can never have enough ‘toons about Pinky!

Till next time,

Bubba goes all Shakesbear for his Dramatic Reading!

I always felt that Bubba was something of an intellectual. Perhaps he will major in English Literature in college!

Here’s his poem!

Meanwhile, Pinky is all “is dis a dagger I sees before me right before I stick it into your…” just before Mommee Mei sends her to her room for a time out. Meanwhile did you you hear something go “poof”????

I hope you have been able to forget for a few minutes, while you read this ‘toon, the live action 3-D full immersion via the GQP, into the Handmaid’s Tale.

Yeah…me neither.

A Salute to Mom Pandas!

It’s Mother’s Day in the US so I thought it would be good to salute the panda moms that sometimes…um…don’t get the respect they deserve from their cubbies.

I will try to NOT have it be all Pinky all the time

“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!
Pinky tests her powers….
Those girls are a force to be reckoned with.
I just love Mei’s little chats with her sister Lun Lun.

It seems like I should include at least ONE ‘toon with Mei yelling at Pinky! (I tried really hard not to have ALL of them be yelling Mei!)

uh oh…

I hope you enjoyed our Mother’s Day Salute to Panda Moms!

School Days! (or was that “daze”?)

How is it May already? School seems like it just started and here we are rolling up to summer. Have the panda kids learned anything from Beary Poppins?

The Nooz continues to be grim. Mittens won’t shut up and go away. The Supremes are ready to take away the rights of women, and that doesn’t seem to be where they will stop. The rights of anyone who is not a christian, white, straight, male are being challenged everywhere you look. Abortion and the right to choose has been the law of the land since I became an adult. It’s time to raise our voices, show up and vote these jerks out of office. (I realize we can’t vote SCOTUS out, be we can vote for Democrats up and down the ballot.)

I wish Pinky would just poof the bad people away.

A Panda of Mystery (continued)

I still don’t know where this story is going, but I found my way into it a bit more. When we left the Panda Chateau, Bebe Maurice’s Maman had just received a mysterious letter from an applicant to be a governess to Fleur and Snowy….

Extra credit if you can identify the painter and painting that B. Maurice is reprising here.

The Month of Pandas is coming to an end…

Who am I trying to kid? It will ALWAYS be the month of Pandas!!!

And who better to celebrate this 50th pandaversary at the national Zoo than the ENTIRE panda family in residence!?

Well, who didn’t think that Pinky’s family would track her down?

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

Okay, Okay… I guess there are a couple OTHER pandas living at the DC Panda House!

I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.
The Mommee Security Agency is always watching
I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!
