It’s Mr Wu Wednesday, and Mr Wu is off on a NEW adventure!

If you haven’t guessed already, we are calling Mr. Wu’s new adventure, The Wizard of Wu! I can’t tell you exactly how it is all going to come out (I am after all a “pantser”*) but I can tell you that Mr Wu makes it home safely in the end, and learns a valuable lesson. I promised Doxiemom that there would be no flying monkeys, but I’m afraid the pandy kindy has stepped in to fill that role.

And remember, it’s all make believe.

We’re in for it now, Binky!

Tune in again next Wednesday to see the next exciting episode of The Wizard of Wu! (and of course, don’t forget Fabulous Furry Friday and Multiple choice Monday!)

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?

And don’t forget, Book 2 of The Panda Chronicles is about to be released! Stay tuned on this very page or follow us on twitter @pandachronicle and now you can like us on facebook on Bob The Panda‘s newly remodeled page. Woot woot huzzah! Huzzah!

And now, the envelope, please…..

As you can imagine, Babette de Panda was quite disappointed that she was not nominated for an Oscar this year (we hesitate to point out that she did not appear in a new film this year, as she tends to be…um…well, you know). She did attend the awards ceremony as a presenter, and we were lucky to obtain this footage, from sources that must remain, for obvious reasons, anonymous.

What will Christopher Robin say about this?

Hope you are having a happy Monday! Don’t forget to tune in onWednesday when we present the next installment of “A Pirate’s Life for Mister Wu”

I know I’ve been torturing you all week with my hints of an exciting discovery in panda history. To be truthful, it does not reveal any new information, but it DOES put me, my cute Bob self, in much closer proximity to the actual events!

Let me explain: when I first started on my journey to find my inner panda, I came across Vicki Constantine Croke’s book about Ruth Harkness just sitting on a display shelf in the library. Coincidence? I think not! Now let’s jump ahead five years to the present, and a phone call from my friend RH. He tells me that he found an old photo album that belonged to his late father. The album turned out to belong to very close friends of his parents, who in 1937, took a driving trip from Seattle, down to California, then heading east through Yellowstone, ( where they ..um…fed the bears) and finally to Chicago, where they took this picture:

note the writing atop and beside the photo

In July of 1937, this could only be Su-Lin, America’s first panda. Now I know there is lot’s of controversy in the panda community of the “kidnap” of this panda baby, and I won’t get into that here. My point is, that the first panda in America was visited and photographed by family friends of MY friend, which puts me at two degrees of separation from the first panda in America (not to mention the first panda that rode in a taxi and went to parties.) Was it not destiny, that I began to draw pandas? That I founded the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire? Huzzah!

I was born to draw pandas and chronicle their adventures! Huzzah!

The first panda to ride in a taxi!

You have probably all been wondering where Mehitabel has been this month. Needless to say, that after the “rigors” of the Kickstarter campaign, she needed a bit of a break. Today’s cartoons shows that she is back in her panda kindergarten fighting form, ready for action, and hey! No hard feelings, eh, bears?

Several of my faithful followers and supporters have pointed out that they are fans of MEHITABEL, not just those rascally panda kindergarteners and so this cartoon is dedicated to you all! While apparently, next year is still not “the year of the cat” it is always the year of Mehitabel!

And a quick reminder that you still have a couple more days to order your book The Panda Chronicles book 1: Your Brain on Pandas for $2 off by using this code:

Mehitabel gets even.

This really was inspired by a story I heard on NPR and I don’t mean National Panda Radio! I swear I am not making this up!

OK, do we believe the whole Mayan-Calaendar-End-of-the-World-Scenario or what? I don’t think I do, but just in case, I won’t bother to do my laundry and yes, I will have another piece of cake, thank you very much!

I really hope it doesn’t end (and just between you and me, I don’t think that it is is going to) because I really want to meet the cute Wu self down in San Diego next spring! But pandas take no chances when apocalypse threatens…see for your cute Wu self in a cartoon we call….:

Today, as promised, there is a full, feature length cartoon for your panda-ing pleasure, but before we get to that, there is an announcement from our sponsor, The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire and Leaping Panda Press. (It is a very fun thing about the internet, that you can just declare you are something or someone, come up with some spiffy computer graphics and voila`! You are now The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, and before you know it, everyone just accepts that as fact. Is this cool or what?)

As you probably know, the first collection of cartoons from the Panda Chronicles was just published and as faithful readers of the blog, you deserve a little something extra in your Christmas stockings. Until the 31st of December, you can now order The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas here and get a discount of $2 per copy by using this code:

Meanwhile, here is today’s feature length cartoon! Huzzah!

What do you MEAN I didn’t win?

And speaking of Kickstarter (wait, who was speaking of Kickstarter, There is a fun project with just under 48 hours to go from a fellow cartoonist who has created a dry erase refrigerate magnet comic strip, so you can write your own dialog. He has a last “stretch goal” and if he reaches it, he’ll make a bunch of his magnet cartoon strips to donate to Boston Children’s Hospital. What a good guy! Check out his project here!
