Panda Satire fans should be reassured, that like many fictional characters, (I, as the omniscient narrator and manipulator of my imaginary panda universe have decreed,) Princess Pinky will remain a willful, out of control, delightful toddler in these pages. Well, I might let her age a little bit, but the best jokes are (for the moment, at least) predicated on her cubbyhood status.
DC panda fans have occasionally pointed out that there is a mouse or two that shares the panda habitat, and they have named him “Larry.” What better advisor could Pinky have as she transitions to her big girl life? Her own Jiminy Cricket, so to speak.
What could be better than a bear and her mouse?
Children’s literature is full of characters that won’t grow up, Peter Pan being the most famous. Why should Pinky be any different?
If you missed it on Sunday, I hope you’ll hop over to Inspokes to read my interview about Pandamorphosis. There be Pandas, indeed!
Be the Bear!

Don’t forget! Friday is International Polar Bear Day! Join us as we present encore presentations of our polar bear collection!
Oh oh….I’m not looking forward to this. 😮
Take a deep breath, and repeat your mantra: I embrace my inner panda. All will be well.
A Jiminy Cricket is exactly what Pinky needs. I hope Larry gets better results. I don’t want Pinky running away.
I’ll have to reread Pinocchio to remind myself where that story goes. Pinky will be back next week, with an interim part time job!
You Go Pinky Girl – dig those paws in and don’t grow up! At least not until YOU are ready!!
You can count on it! Huzzah!
