Day 4, 31 Days of Pandas

Well, not only is it 31 Days of Pandas, it is also Fabulous Furry Friday. We like to have some extra panda goodness to get us in the right frame of mind for the weekend. I mean, if you have a weekend and aren’t working all weekend or something unpleasant like that. Wait a minute….I’m working this weekend.

Well, maybe there will be time for a cuppycake.
I thought I would share a ‘toon or two about the early day’s of Pinky, since she has been sneaking in some appearances to The Wizard of Wu…

National Zoo cub makes mom Mei Xiang disappear

oops. Pinky gets her magical wand!

Princess Pinky is fooled by Mei Xiang at the National Zoo

Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…Bubba had best keep that in mind!

And now, continuing with our feature encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu…

Mr Wu meets up with someone who looks a lot like his brother, shortly after setting out on his journey

I have a bad feeling about this….

Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?

The wicked cat of the west attacks Mr Toasty

That cat is pure evil!

Sorry, no photo bomb from princess Pinky. her mother thought todays cartoon was too scary for her

Wow! Mr Wu and his friends are in a tight spot!

As it is Fabulous Furry Friday, AND the middle of the holiday shopping season, We feel compelled to add a little reminder that not only books make great presents, but so do “Vote for Pinky” and “Vote for Bob” goodies from our store at Pandyland. Not to mention prints from Pandamorphosis, available here! Consider yourselves informed! You can always find the links on our home page, too.

Until tomorrow!

Hang on to your hats, kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

Yes, panda satire fans, it is time again for our end-of-the-year-last-gasp-attempt-at-fun

31 Days of Pandas!!!!!!

As I mentioned on Friday, with so many projects now on the front burner, I am not able to do a new cartoon every day this month. There will be new material as well, but I thought I would take this as an opportunity for some of our newer community members to catch up on some of the stories we have brought you in the past years.

Who can forget Princess Pinky’s first time on 31 days of pandas, when she was barely 100 days old!?

Needless to say, the Wu Self was not pleased to have to compete for screen time for 31 days of pandas!

To start this year off right, we thought we would have an encore presentation of that holiday classic, The Wizard of Wu!

where happy pandas eat bamboo, oh why, oh why, can’t…Wu?

We’re in for it now, Binky!

Let’s hear it for 31 days of pandas

They say you should never explain, and never apologize on blogs, just go about your business, but with only 4 letters left to go in the alphabet, I must (I must) throw myself on the mercy of my panda fans, and tell you that I came down with the “spring crud cold” and have not been able to hold my head up to make a new cartoon. Plus I have had to cancel my appearance on a local radio show, where I was going to talk about Kickstarter.

Alas.

But at least, I can pull something from the archives to tide you over till I feel less worse. (Today is brought to you by the letter “W” for Whoops.)

From The Wizard of Wu

Keep being the bear without me. Talk amongst yourselves.

Pandas: Bears of Quality

12 Replies

Not to be confused with koala-tea (which mercifully is not strained) quality is something pandas have lots of. They are the quintessential perfect house pet because they are so quiet. They do not quack, quibble, nor quaffle through quagmires. Rarely quarrelsome, unless they are queasy; when questioned they are quick witted.

Today is brought to you by the letter “Q” Thanks to the folks at the A to Z! You guys are the bears. Today, we feature Mr. Wu as he goes off on a quest! Want to read the whole Wizard of Wu saga? Get The Book of Wu or one of our other collections of The Panda Chronicles!

That cat is pure evil!

Have a happy saturday everyone!

Day 21: The wait is over! the finale of the Wizard of Wu

4 Replies

Hard to believe this adventure started all the way back in September, but there you have it! It’s all over but the flashbacks! And now, for the final episode of The Wizard of Wu!

All well that ends well. Now let’s have some cuppycakes!!!

See, I told you that I wouldn’t do anything dastardly to Mr Wu. But will we let Mr Wu just relax at home and eat cuppycakes and drink hot cocoa with his mom and the twinkies (not to mention Princess Pinky, who is NOT a bear to be messed with!)?

No, we will not! Tune in Monday for episode 1 of It’s a WUnderful Life, starring, (of course,) Mr wu and all your favorite pandas!

And if you haven’t bought YOUR copies of all the Panda Chronicles books, what are ya waiting for? They make great presents for anyone on your gift list (including yourself!)

31 days of pandas continues tomorrow!

Mr Wu is in the thick of it now! Captured by the Panda Kindergarten, who are under the evil spell of the wicked witch (played brilliantly by Mehitabel the cat, if we do say so ourselves,) and it looks like there is…

Escape…….

I can’t look.

Will someone tell me when the scary part is over?

Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!

The panda kindergarten MUST be under a spell from the Wicked Witch, don’t you think?

Tune in Tomorrow!
