Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….
Thank you, each and every one.
With gratitude and cuppycakes,
Bob T Panda, Babette de Panda, Mehitabel the cat, Mr Wu, Binky, Pinky and don’t forget the Twinkies and the panda kindergarten.
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!
Be the Bear

Oh, they are back in the soup now! And on Friday the 13th to boot!
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!
‘Tis the Season!
Babette de Panda, celebrating the season at Radio City Music Hall, in the company of her good friend Frances A….
…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!
…Panda- Panda Who?
Boy was that lame. Let’s just get to the cartoon, shall we?
Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?
Oh my! whatever will happen next? Another episode of The Wizard of Wu is coming up tomorrow! Huzzah! and maybe a bonus encore presentation ‘toon or two as well. But don’t put away that laptop for the weekend. 31 days of Pandas is serious about bring you pandas every day this month.
And there will be much panda fun and new projects to come in the new year! Sign up for my free…um…mostly monthly newsletter so you don’t miss a single panda,The newsletter sign-up form is in the right hand column, second from the top.

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.” Perhaps Mr Wu should have thought of this before he shut down the government.
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!
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!

While Thursday is not a normal posting day (and don’t get any ideas about Princess Pinky Thursdays) It IS a national holiday, and by that, of course I mean, International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Huzzah!
In honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I hereby re-run, in all it’s entirety, Mr Wu’s very first adventure, which I call, A Pirate’s Life for Wu! Enjoy!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!
Mr Wu is up the creek without a paddle…
An explorer’s work is never done.
Mister Wu and his new friends.
“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”
Don’t you love “rear shots” of baby pandas?
Avast mateys! You’ll be bein’ the bear now, I wager!
Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I think we can now put to rest that very unflattering portrait painted of Tian Tian (Huh? who me?) in the New Yorker last week. Tests have shown that he’s the father of the newest, tiniest panda in the US. Almost everyone is hip-hip-hoorah-ing about our precious panda princess!
Almost.
Who’s the bear???!!!
Progress on Book 3 continues! Stay tuned, panda fans! And on Mr. Wu Wednesday, his new adventure really gets off the ground. Really.
Till next time, Be The Bear!

Hello Panda Fans! It seems that several of you may have missed us over the weekend as we were doing some site renovations. You will most likely see some twiddling and refining as time goes on, as I wanted to get the pandas up and running (we can so run!) even though everything is not cuppycake perfect as yet!
Much excitement has been happening in the land of pandas…the Atlanta twinkies are now 7 (or is it 8?) weeks old and getting cute enough to send Mr. Wu into a tailspin of anxiety over his cuteness ratings (more on that coming Wednesday.) The newest panda in our nation’s capitol has survived a full week+ a few days and is getting fat and loud. Huzzah! I caught a glimpse of “starter ears” on the Facebook pictures this morning. Huzzah!
But all is not hunky-dorey…The New Yorker magazine ran an expose on the secret life of pandas, much to the embarrassment of guy pandas everywhere. “Did he HAVE to tell that story?”, more than one panda was heard to mutter around the pandasphere this morning.
Did he really have to tell them THAT????
Of Course Gao Gao, stud muffin of the SDZ had no complaints about the article!
Meanwhile, work on Book 3 of The Panda Chronicles is proceeding. Stay tuned here to be the first to know when it is ready. Speaking of staying tuned, as a result of a change in web hosting, it seems that all my subscribers disappeared in the transition (for the blog, not the newsletter) so if you would still like to receive new cartoons in your inbox 3 times a week, please re-subscribe via the form/button that says “Invite Pandas to Your Inbox” near the top of the righthand column. You don’t want to miss a single episode, especially with Mr. Wu starting on a new adventure next week!
till next time!
Be the Bear!

Oh my…we have made Mr. Wu’s mother cry, and we are very sorry about that. (Perhaps not as sorry as we will be if she gets her paws on us, but never mind about that now!) Today she springs into action and brings in help from a very um… reputable source:
This is a case for…Inspector Panda!
Can Inspector Panda solve the case? Will Yun Zi eat his brother’s dessert while Mr. Wu is “away?” Will Mr. Wu wow the crowds as the Flying Wuzini at Le Cirque du Pandet? Tune in next week to read the next exciting installment of Bears Under the Big Top!
Till then, Be the Bear!
Bob T. Panda
Editors note: I realize I may seem to be capricious and uncareful with the cute wu self…sending him off with the panda kindergarten in the middle of the night. Perhaps an all-Wu-all-the-time cartoon line up on Mondays and Wednesdays will keep you all from tar-and-feathering me. Maybe?
“Are we there, yet?”
Come back on Wednesday and see what happens next…
Be the Bear!
