Happy Birthday, Bubba Bear!

If you think being an endangered species is a piece of cake, (Hey! Did someone say CAKE????) you’ve got your head on backwards. And there is no one who is so endangered as someone who is Pinky’s little brother! Yep, we’re talking about Bubba, who has slipped beneath the table (with a plate of cuppycakes, along with his faithful toys, General Bub and Banky Pig.
And with only two days until Bubba’s actual birthday, it is only fitting that he emerges from under the table and shows himself to be the hero of this fractured fairy tale.
Pinky says: BTW, tomorrow is solar eclipse day, so just a reminder, don’t look at it with unprotected eyes! You don’t want to go blind and miss all the rest of my ‘toons for all eternity, right? (It is all about ME after all!)
Panda On!

Oh yes, it is panda birthday season now and it’s in full swing! But two of the stars of panda birthday season have birthdays in just a few more days. Last Friday we saw some of Pinky’s greatest moments and now it is Bubba’s turn!
But first, we have just returned from secret talks in an undisclosed location!
Oh Canada
We think you’re really swell
Meanwhile south of you
We are so ashamed
We’ve really gone to hell
Oh Canada
Your country’s very grand
The premier he fights
For diversity
A panda in each hand!
Oh Canada
Your Premier’s really cute
In a kilt he rocks,
Even on the beach,
And in a formal suit!
Oh Canada
We had a real good time
And now that global warming’s here
You make some real good wine!
Oh Canada
The US is a dump
We look longingly
Cross the border cause
You don’t have Donald Trump
Of course, you can read ALL of Bubba’s (Pinky: and Pinky’s!!!!!) ‘toons in Book 7 of The Panda Chronicles: Don’t call mee boo boo!
Panda on!

Oh my! What is going to happen now? This is getting kind of scary and I know I am going to get all kinds of flack for this, because I have put those adorable little munchkins, Six and Sebben in the path of Pinky’s ire, (not to mention her magical wand!!!!) But can you blame me? I mean this is a fairy tale for crying out loud! If there is a wicked witch, there has to be a handsome prince who comes and saves the day, right? Or in the case of Wonder Woman, a really kick-ass goddess warrior who comes right up against evil and attempts (and maybe even succeeds) to vanquish it! Oh Poot on you Pinky! Your evil plan will NEBBER succeed!
Panda On!

…to relax, maybe have a bootini, and yes, a cuppycake or two, just when you thought, What could possibly go wrong…you hear the doors start to open. The room seems to swim and go just the teeniest bit dark. And just when you thought it was safe to enjoy a social event without a certain someone getting her little Wonder Woman panties in a twist…
Oh yeah. The goldfish. Well, anyone can make a mistake like that, right, Mei?
Panda On!

I hope y’all didn’t eat too much cake yesterday at Mr. Wu’s Birthday Party! We are ready to continue our story, so don’t touch that dial! Here comes the next episode of Being Endangered is Such a Curse!!!!
Panda On!

It’s almost here! The very Wu Self’s actual birthday and the party is just about to begin! There are piles of cuppycakes on the tables and Bai Yun is looking serene and radiant…at least till cousin Pinky gets there!
By the way, the story of my journey into panda satire is now a public page, so you can read and get caught up on all the pandas you need to know! Originally, this was given as a talk to the 2016 Panda Convention at the San Diego Zoo, called From Panapiphany to Princess Pinky.
If you enjoyed this Mr. Wu adventure story, there are more where that came from in The Panda Chronicles Book 4: The Book of Wu! You can find it here!
Princess Pinky and the Meihems (yes, and Bubba too) will return on sunday in their feature presentations, Being Endangered is SUCH a Curse!
Panda On!

We need to wrap up the Meihem’s birthday weekend because up next on the calendar, it’s none other than Mr. Wu’s birthday celebration extravaganza! The Wu self turns 5 this year! But after last week’s struggle to find cartoons starring the Meihem’s WITHOUT Pinky in them, this week we reluctantly joyfully invite Pinky to the Meihem’s birthday weekend!
And mebbee you need to get the latest book about Pinky! Just saying…
Panda On! (and don’t forget the cake!)
Next up! The Wu Self’s birthday season! Huzzah!

AS we are in the high volume part of panda birthday season, we are approaching the birthdays of two of our favorite pandas, Twinkies 1.0, the original, the first in the USofA, the Meihem Twins!!!! How could I ever forget watching their birth on my computer, and the the excitement when I realized we were getting two for the price of one!?!?! Now THAT is something to celebrate !
Of course, to celebrate, we will run TWO weeks of Fabulous Furry Fridays featuring the beloved Meihem twins, before we party like a panda in honor of the Wu Self!
You have NO IDEA how hard it was to find ‘toons of the Meihems, without Pinky in them! Next week we’ll let Pinky in too! After all, her birthday season is coming up soon too
Pardee like a PANDA!!!!

I hope everyone had a happy fourth of July, ate lots of grilled items of your choice and did not expire from potato salad that was sitting out too long. Also that you did not…um…let the panda kindergarten take fireworks IN to the house and that everything is still standing in your neighborhood. As in Washington DC, as well as The Institute for Inner Panda Studies summer camp, the question remains: Who’s in charge here, anyway?
Oh, yes, it will be a very long summer, I think.
Panda On!
