I done other Panda Parodies™️ of various movies, some successful, some…not so much. I think The Wizard of Wu works so well, because I’ve watched The Wizard of Oz soooo many times and so I know it really well. I hope you get a chance to watch the original this season (yes, I know you could watch it any time you want, but somehow the Halloween season always feels like the perfect time to watch it.
So, away we goooooooo!
Stay tuned later this month for the outtakes and blooper reel!Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!Ride you pandas! Ride!
This is kind of the scary part! Get out your blankie!
Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?Don’t mess with Princess Pinky!All well that ends well. Now let’s have some cuppycakes!!!
I hope you enjoyed our Encore Presentation™️ of one of my favorite Holiday Classics™️, The Wizard of Wu! Don’t forget to VOTE!
Oh yeah, grab your poppycorn, your hot cocoa, and the blanket to hide under at the scary bits and get ready for part 1 of The Wizard of Wu!

Oh man! This is So! Exciting!
Where in the world is Wu? ‘Toon in next week for the next exciting episode!
Be the Bear! Bob T I can’t remember what happens next Panda
Since I seem to be be on strike or something like that…unmotivated? tired? uninspired? I thought I’d take this opportunity to have a Delightful Encore Presentation™️ of everyone’s favorite bear (WU BEAR!!!) and his ode to Pirates, just in time for International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!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?
I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of Mr Wu’s Pirate Adventure. I’m sure I’ll do some new ‘toons…eventually.
Okay, it is also Princess Pinky Jr.’s birthday, but Wu Bear had it first, so let’s just palm off the day AFTER on PPJ. Let’s pop in partway on our story when young Wu Self joins the circus…
Everyone knows the party isn’t over till you can sit down and re-hash it!
And that’s how Six and Sebben got their names! I’m not entirely sure that the attempting poofing didn’t have some long term effects…
All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????Bears will be bears
Wasn’t that fun? Here’s a few other favorites from the archives…
But some pandas go both ways!It’s so hard to be cool when you still live with your mom.
Mr Wu wellness cubbie exam with the green ball is one of my all time favorites!
what will the panda kindergarten do next?
Well, I hope you enjoyed this extended dive into the archives! I’m pretty much done with the work for my upcoming paint show, and returning from a much needed trip, so I expect there will be new ‘toons shortly!
Be the Bear Bob T I hope Mittens didn’t burn down the country in my absence Panda
Sorry, it’s been another crazy busy week, but I’m making progress on exhibition stuff, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more relaxed week next week. Hahahahahahahahaha!
Since we are coming up on Mr. Wu’s birthday season next month, I thought I’d share one of the Mr. Wu Stories, with more coming in the next couple of weeks. I can’t believe he’s going to turn 14 this July!!!! That does not seem possible.
Here is one of Mr Wu’s early encounter with the Panda Kindergarten…
Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?“Up in the Air, Junior Pandas…”Nothing like a snappy graphic to um…solve a problem!May Day! May Day!Mr wu’s cousin, da SooperpannaBet ya didn’t see this coming…or maybe you did.I just had to include something with that provocative “rear panda view” you know!
I should probably quit pretending that I can get 2 ‘toons done in a week for right now, but I am ever hopeful. Fortunately I have SO MANY relevant ‘toons from Mittens’ first Reign of Terror that you would hardly know they are re-runs…um…I mean Encore Presentations!
Here are some ‘toons featuring Nixon’s Ghost, who I bet is going to have things to say any day now.
Amazing how relevant this still is 6 years later…
And of course, the Lunar New Year is about to start and it’s The Year of the Fire Horse. We haven’t done a new ‘toon for that (it’s coming, I swear) but here’s who was riding the range 12 years ago when the Horse Year last circled around!
Huzzah! It’s The year of Pandas on Horsies!
I bet Pinky’s girls, Four and Five will be getting ready for their Panda Chronicles Debut with their Year of the Fire Horse Presentation!
Pinky: nobody said anything about FIRE!!!
Be the Bear Bob T is trying to keep grinning and bearing it Panda
…much faster than I expected. As such, I think it’s time to run a couple of my holiday classics this week and next, in the hopes I’ll have a little time and space to write a NEW Christmas Classic™️ before the actual week of Christmas. The idea just popped into my head, as all the best ideas do. Well, I guess we’ll see, won’t we?
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this encore presentation of…
It’s a WUnderful Life!
Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.Wu is a good bear at heart….Bee the bear tells it like it isWhat part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!You won’t like this, Mr Wu!Those darn cats!Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!A bear and his mom…together forever?
I had so much fun re-reading this story and I hope you did too! This was one of my favorite stories to make a Panda Parody. Maybe because I’ve seen the original so many times…
and remember…
EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS, A PANDA GETS A CUPPY CAKE!!!
Be the Bear Bob T it’s beginning to look a lot like Crispness…Panda
PostScript: in case you were wondering, despite the fact that much of Western Washington State is currently suffering severe flooding, Whidbey Island is high and..well, damp, but not under water. We do have the possibility of power outages with the softened ground from all the rain, not to mention some of the bluff areas are probably going to slide. But we are not under evacuation orders and suffering the destruction of the raging rivers over on the mainland. So far we are okay on the island. I hope my western WA readers are safe. check in, okay?
And you know what that means! Our annual Halloween re-broadcasts (i.e. Encore Presentations) of A Halloween Carol (starring Pinky and Mr. Wu!) and The Wizard of Wu! (Cue loud cheering)
First up is Part one of A Halloween Carol, with Part 2 coming on Tuesday.
Bubba’s first feature role! and the first use of the term “Worky Sit”you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?Hey! who said Wu could poof things?One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?
Oh man! What is going to happen next? Stay ‘tooned till next week, but first, I hope you enjoy this little interlude ‘toon of Bubba as a baby cubby!
He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!
I hope you are enjoying these encore presentations of our favorite Spooky Season ‘toons! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
