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.
Today marks the start of a soon to be holiday classic! One that you will want to watch every year, just like some of those other holiday classics that turn up every year around now. I am, of course, speaking of our new feature adventure, starring the one and only, Mr Wu!
Hold on to your cuppycakes because you won’t want to miss a single minute of It’s a Wunderful Life!
(editor’s note: This series contains extreme melodrama, existential dilemmas and not a little bit of out and out pathos. Please don’t yell at me.)
Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.
Oh dear, we know where this is going, kinda sorta, don’t we?
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
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!

* this brilliant line was provided by panda friend and cuppycake baker extraordinaire, Vicky Vladic. Thank you!
I can’t look.
Will someone tell me when the scary part is over?
Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!
The panda kindergarten MUST be under a spell from the Wicked Witch, don’t you think?
Tune in Tomorrow!
Beig the Bear,
Bob T. Panda

…Good thing the action has become slightly less scary, at least for a little bit. Fans of Mr Wu’s latest adventure will be happy to know (well, maybe not…maybe you LIKE waiting a whole week between episodes) that we will be featuring Mr. Wu’s adventure on most weekdays, until it’s over, in order to bring you another short holiday theme Wu-self-story.
Huzzah!
Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!
And just another gentle reminder to check out Whidbey Life Magazine’s Indiegogo project! In the meantime, keep being the bear! More Wu-venture this week!
Bob T. Panda
Oh, stand back Princess Pinky, your cuzzins from ‘Lanta have entered the fashion fray! (I even think Mr. Wu will make an appearance in the paper doll pages as well!)
There’s lots-o-fun coming up in the 31 Days of Pandas extravaganza! Mr. Wu’s adventure, the Wizard of Wu is going to ramp up with multiple episodes in the week ahead, so that the adventure can finish before Mr. Wu’s brother Yun Zi has to go off to his new life in China. (what? say it isn’t so!)
But first, Here are the Atlanta Twinkies with their favorite outfit for relaxing around the den.
Huzzah! It’s Bert and his brother Ernie!
…and their jammies! Huzzah!
Some computer size adjusting may be necessary to make the outfits fit. Just sayin, my tech skills are vastly inferior to my drawing skills!
Be the Bear!

OK, not really, but a Princess Pinky Paper Doll is the next best thing..um…isn’t it? The dedicated pandologists at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire are committed to bringing you the best in panda satire, not to mention all the fun that pandas can bring. Many (OK, three) of our fans have already had fun bringing Babette de Panda paper dolls along with them on trips near and far. Just think how much fun you can have with Princess Pinky!
Princess Pinky and her very first tutu, gifted to her by her big brother Tai Shan!
Your Princess Pinky Paper Doll has been scanned at a higher resolution than most of our cartoons, so it is suitable for printing. To print, click on the image and then save to your computer. You can glue pinky to cardboard and make a thingie so she can stan up. then you can dress her in her new outfit. There will be additional outfits added during the month of December.
You know the rules: Pinky is for your own non-commercial use, so don’t make me send the panda kindergarten after you. ‘kay? And if you are inclined to take pictures of Pinky at her holiday parties, be sure to post them to Bob T. Panda on Facebook, or @pandachronicle on Twitter.
Huzzah! Be the Bear!

Oh boy! I’m so excited at how many panda satire loving people are showing up for 31 Days of Pandas! But don’t think we are going to leave Mr Wu hanging in the breeze in his most recent adventure, The Wizard of Wu!
Things are really getting scary in today’s episode, the 13th in the series! Hmm…I said that last week, but this time I really mean it! That cat is just so evil!
(Note to Mehitabel’s fans: it’s fiction. Get over it.)
Who would have thought cuppycakes could be enchanted?
Oh boy, ‘dis is getting so ‘citing!
Thanks to everyone who ordered books yesterday. Pandas in China thank you! You are the bears!
Be the Bear!
