Did I forget it is Mr Wu Wednesday? Heck, NO!

As I said on Monday, I am a bit behind the time due to high level meetings with Pandas Worldwide at our annual conference.  Fortunately, I had managed to smuggle a transcript of the keynote address, delivered by none other than Mr. Wu!  And now, through the magic of the internet, I can share it with you now.  Huzzah!

What will that little bear say next?  Poor mountain village, indeed.

Oh that Mr. Wu!

It’s a Windy Wu’sday, as Mr Wu prepares to greet his Panda Fans! Huzzah!

Up here in the panda-less Pacific Northwest, one thing we are never short of are wind and rain.  OK, that was two things, but they do kind of go together! Although, right now, we are having wind and SUN!  But I bet you wish I would quit blathering about the weather, and get the latest cartoon from Mr Wu up on this site.

OK, OK, here it is!

Don't you love "rear shots" of baby pandas?

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday, once again!

Here we are, on a Friday morning, and we’d like to discuss the role of pandas in art history. I don’t know if anyone noticed in the most recent Wu on Wednesday cartoon, that Bai Yun’s pose in the first panel, was taken directly from a Caravaggio painting at The National Gallery in London, Supper at Emmaus. I wouldn’t want anyone to think that I had wasted seven years in art school.

Speaking of pandas in art, a painting that was recently discovered in the basement of a London Gallery, which wished to be unnamed, proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, that James Abbott McNeil Whistler had a thing for pandas, in this first version of a painting of his mother. Rumor has it that he had asked his mother for funds to travel to Italy, as he had recently been bankrupted after the Ruskin trial.  She refused, and he painted this portrait of her, as a panda.  later he relented and painting a portrait that was more of a likeness, but many thought that the original painting was more flattering.

Mr Wu is very, very, VERY, sorry.

Mr. Wu’s pirate adventure has come to an end, but don’t be sad.  The panda kindergarten is already plotting his next adventure, if only they can evade the long paw of the law (aka Bai Yun) who is not, to say the least, very happy with them.

"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.”

But you just can’t keep a good small bear down for long, right?

Another Episode of Pirates of the Pandabean, starring Mr. Wu! (It is Wednesday, after all.)

Yes, me hearties and fans of Mr. Wu!  It’s time for another episode of the piratical adventures of Mr. Wu! Arrrgh!

Can looting and plundering be far behind?

Yo ho ho Huzzah!  Oddly enough, I’m listening to a story on the radio about pirates as I write this post.  Arrgh and avast me pandys!  (Strangely, there was no mention of panda involvement in the story of pirates on the Carolina coast.  Go figure.)

Wuoops! Hold on to that panda!

Mr. Wu is growing up, and if last weeks videos have shown us anything, it’s that Mr. Wu has a lot of potential to be a fully contributing member of the panda kindergarten.  Never before have I seen a panda cub get a horsie ride from mom!

Oh that panda kindergarten!

Wunderful Wu’sday!

I just can’t resist!  Wu is the perfect panda child…precocious, plump, and poofy! (not to mention immanently cuddlable!)

After his brilliant debut a few weeks ago, and the discovery of his newfound talent for choreography, it was high time Mr. Wu gave a press conference, wouldn’t you think?

Thank you all for coming! Buy my book here!

We expect great things from Mr. Wu! And for those of you who have become addicted to Mr. wu’s appearances here, never fear!  As long as Mr. Wu continues to be cute (and, like, is THAT ever going to stop?  I don’t think so,) we will bring his antics to you here, at The Panda Chronicles!

Stay tuned on Friday, when we reveal secret HISTORICAL panda photos!
