Day 31: It’s a WUnderful Life – Episode Nine

Oh my! It is not only the last episode of Mr Wu’s most recent adventure, but it is the last day of the year, and even more importantly, the last day of 2013’s 31 Days of Pandas!!!!! Huzzah.  Well, not Huzzah! that daily pandas are coming to an end, but Huzzah! that I managed not to miss a single day of NEW cartoons, every stinkin’ day!

Huzzah! Here are some 31 Days of Pandas statistics that I find interesting in my own pandy little way: There are 245 (plus or minus a panda here and there) drawings of pandas within these 31+ drawings. That is more than an 800% increase over the original year of 30 days of pandas.  (someone might want to check my math on that one.)  There was an average of over 1500 page views per week during the month. Huzzah!  I know that’s not quite the big leagues, but it sure beats the heck out of the early days when 10 views was a really big day for the pandas.

There is much panda-ing in store for 2014. Pandas kept me going through 2013, which quite frankly, felt like a year long Friday the 13th, if you want to know the truth. But enough about that! Let’s have the final episode of It’s a WUnderful Life!

It's a Wonderful Life, parody

Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!

And here’s a little bonus, especially for those of you who have joined the panda fun here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire recently: The Panda Kindergarten’s New Year’s Eve!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

And a big pandy thank you to Vicky Vladic for her line: Every time a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.

#Day 28 It’s a WUnderful Life: Episode 6

It just gets worser and worser. But have faith, it will get better…um..eventually!

The year is winding down as well, and I am starting to look forward to all that is ahead for the pandas in 2014.  I plan to make some announcements in my January Newsletter, so if you haven’t yet signed up for that, and want to be the first to know all the panda satire plans for the year, now is a good time to sign up.  Just fill out the handy form “Get even MORE pandas” near the top of the righthand column.

And now, we bring you episode six of It’s a WUnderful Life! Huzzah!

Day 27: It’s a WUnderful Life, episode five

Oh poor Mr Wu…it is finally beginning  to dawn on him, just HOW awful a world with no new panda cubs could be. And isn’t that a great segue into a word from one of our sponsors?

As we reach the end of the year, many organizations are filling the airways and our mailboxes with appeals for end of the year tax deductible donations.  Please indulge me in making a plug for one of my favorites, Pandas International. Despite the fact that I spend most of my time here making fun of pandas and putting them in situations where you would not find a real panda, Pandas International has long been a follower and supporter of my work. Go Figure! So as you make your decisions on charitable contributions in the waning days of 2013, consider lending a paw to Pandas International.  After all, without pandas, there could be no panda satire.

And now, on with the show and the next thrilling episode of, It’s a WUnderful Life!

You won’t like this, Mr Wu!

I hope you will continue to stay tuned for the next four episodes of It’s a WUnderful life! We have much pandaful stuff in store for you next year, which we hope you will stay tuned for.  2014 is going to be the year of the panda!

Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda

Just in case you haven’t turned off your computer yet,

Have yourself a pandy little Christmas....

Thank you, each and every one.

With gratitude and cuppycakes,

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

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!

finale of 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!

Oh, they are back in the soup now! And on Friday the 13th to boot!

Wizard of Oz spoof

But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!

I have NO idea how they are going to get out of this dilemma! (OK, not really, but I’m trying to build some dramatic tension here!)

And since it is Fabulous Furry Friday (the 13th!!!!) here are some encore presentations of some seasonal pandas!

Day 17...Naughty or Nice?  you decide!

…which serves as a reminder of how much fun YOU can have with panda paper dolls! (And a kind of cheesy reminder that there will be more outfits for Princess Pinky and the Twins coming up this weekend! Huzzah!

A big pandy thanks to all of you who have bought books this month, a portion of which will be sent to Pandas International (huzzah!) to support actual panda stuff! But don’t stop now! Perhaps more people on your christmas list would enjoy one or more of The Panda Chronicles books! Visit our book page here.

Another big pandy thanks to all who have supported Whidbey Life Magizine’s print project on Indiegogo.  You guys are the bears!

Oh My Goodness, I forgot it was Fabulous Furry Friday!

See what happens when I try to get some actual work done?  I forget all about my duty to provide and perpetrate panda satire upon the world.  What was I thinking?

While the nation still waits for someone to turn the NZ panda cam back on, you can relax, sit back, and get a dose of panda satire to get you through the weekend.  I shall now dive into the archives, and see what looks funny this evening.

"You are right and Wu is wrong...I'll never do it again, mommy."

“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.” Perhaps Mr Wu should have thought of this before he shut down the government.

Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of this story!

I just heard tell that the 2014 Winter Olympics are right around the corner, and that means this years torch bears will be back in action!

The secret lives of the wild panda!

Recent reports of the continuing survival of Tao tao, an actual panda, raised in a semi wild area and released to the wild, is alive and well, and adjusting to life as a wild panda.

Well, till next week when we return with more from the Twinkies and princess Pinky, not to mention the next installment of Mr Wu’s adventure, buy lots of my books and be the bears!
