Recap#10 PandaWriMo approaches!

Yes, it is the month we all wait for all year long, Panda Satire Writing Month, also known as PandaWriMo or 31 Days of Pandas! Huzzah! It is the month when all panda satire writers (I’m sure there must be others, aren’t there?) pull out all the stops and it’s panda, panda, panda all month long.

But before we bring you the next episode of The Case of the Picturesque Panda, we’d like to bring to your attention again, that next Tuesday (one week from today, in fact) has been declared “Giving Tuesday” (don’t ask me who declared this…probably the Associated Amalgamation of Organizations) and our charity of choice is Pandas International. (well, duh!) Buy any of our Panda Chronicle series books or Pandamorphosis from Amazon, and for each book purchased on Tuesday, we will donate $1 to Pandas International.

Because (wait for it) without pandas, there could be no panda satire.

And now, on with our story!

And who gave Pinky her wand back?

Does Pinky know too much?

You just knew that Princess Pinky would weasel her way into this story, didn’t you? Well, you have not seen the last of Pinky! We will finish our recap this week on Friday and on Sunday bring you a brand new cartoon (I swear!) and so begins PandaWriMo! Huzzah!

Until tomorrow,

Be the Bear!

Oh we are getting close to the beginning of 31 days of Pandas and…um…I am hoping to have a spurt of energy in the next couple days…Hmmmm….we’ll see how I do.

Meanwhile, here is the next recap of our story so far.

Will Mr. Wu be safe with the panda kindergarten? And just what’s with that tape, anyway?

See you tomorrow!

Recap#8 & Fabulous Furry Friday

2 Replies

Huzzah! It is Fabulous Furry Friday as we continue with the next recap of The Case of the Picturesque Panda, in this run up to PanDaWriMo, otherwise known as 31 Days of Pandas!

Our Story so far….

The panda kindergarten arrives on the scene, and…

Not the tape!!!!!!

Could that be the mysterious Babette de Panda? What does she want with Wu’s tape?

Oh no! Not Mr. Wu’s tape!!!! And now it’s FRIDAY and we won’t continue the story until MONDAY!!!!???!!! What ever will we do on the weekend? (And did you notice Mehitabel in her cameo role as Babette’s driver?)

Well, if you’ve been a clever bear, you will have a collection of all five of The Panda Chronicles books, and you will have pandas to spare to get you through the weekend. Word to the wise, and all that. In the meantime, we hope to have a brand new cartoon on Sunday. See you then!

Inspector Panda is in for it now! Babette has him hooked into her story, for better or worse. Thank goodness Mr Wu has a level head on his shoulders.

The search for clues begins…

…but Mr Wu still has a lot to learn when it comes to detecting.

Stay tuned to this very space, as we bring you up to date with Inspector Panda’ latest case, The Case of the Picturesque Panda, as we get ready for 31 Days of Pandas when our story will continue.

And for fans of Pandamorphosis, my print gallery through Fine Balance Imaging is finally up and running and ready to take orders for exceedingly fine quality giclee printed posters of some of your favorite images from Pandamorphosis!

Recap #5 The Case of the Picturesque Panda

Oh that Babette! She thinks she has Inspector Panda wrapped around her dainty little paw. Mr. Wu remains skeptical, while Inspector Panda…well, let’s just say Inspector Panda has his work cut out for him.

Our story continues:

“fuggedabout the bleeping tape!”

Oh that Babette!

Inspector Panda: the bear with the clues…

Stay tuned! There are mysteries to be solved, and cookies to eat. Cuppycakes must factor into this somehow, don’t you think?

Recap #4 The Inspector Panda Saga Continues!

Oh yes, here we are at last. This changing time zones is for the birds. Or the bears. Okay, maybe not bears.

Be sure to check out last weeks’ posts if you are still catching up!

I don’t know about you, but I think this document is VERY suspicious!

Mr Wu observes an interesting detail….

Mr Wu is still skeptical of Babette’s story…

Sorry to panda and run, but I’m still catching up on sleep. Bears…hibernation…you know the drill.

Day 2 of Inspector Panda Recap

2 Replies

Oh boy, PanDaWriMo (the event formerly known as 31 days of Pandas) is about to begin on December 1st!

Huzzah!

I can now reveal that Bob and Babette’s top-secret mission to meet with another set of international pandas has reached it’s successful conclusion. The dynamic duo paid a visit to Hao Hao and Xing Hui of the Pairi Daiza Zoo in Belgium’s beautiful countryside. You can even follow them on Twitter @XingHuiHaoHao How cool is that? The top secret meeting went well, other than the fact that Babette got a little huffy because she is French, and well, that’s just what Babette does, nes’t pas?

And now, on to the next re-cap of The Case of the Picturesque Panda (see yesterday’s post for the re-cap beginning!) (pretend you are listening to noir detective music intro now)

…and so the story begins…

…of a young panda’s arrival in France, and all that followed…

Why DOES Mr Wu have a piece of tape on his right ear?

Let’s see who stayed awake during art history classes!

Oh boy! this is really getting exciting now! I can hardly wait till PanDaWriMo begins! Huzzah!

Inspector Panda is getting ready…

…for 31 days of Pandas, and we thought that we would start the daily panda-ing a little early, so you would be up to date with the story so far….

So, let’s start at the very beginning of…

Inspector Panda and the Case of the Picturesque Panda

If “trouble” ever had a proper name, that name is Babette de Panda…

When a panda has a problem, you know where to turn…Inspector Panda, I presume.

The Plot Thickens….

This is a very brief installment of Inspector Panda’s mystery, which I hope you will forgive. I write in fits and starts, but his morning I had a breakthrough in the story line, which will be coming along…um…shortly. Princess Pinky and the Meihems have finally figured out how to get into the story, and we anxiously await the reappearance of Babette de Panda.

Meanwhile, Friend to Bears Vicky Vladic sent me a link to a very funny story, which Bob and Mehitabel have chosen to comment on, in sunday’s cartoon. (OK, it was all Mehitabel’s idea…she thought it was really funny, Bob, not so much.)

Meanwhile, here is a little snippet of the Inspector Panda saga….

Inspector Panda is hot on Babette’s trail….

And if you don’t already know, Book 5 of The Panda Chronicles has hit the stands! Check out Pandapocalypse NOW!…um…now. ok?
