A Halloween Carol – Part 7

We are getting down to it now! The spirit of Halloween present (NOT presents!) has just arrived and has a list and is checking it twice. And what list do we think that paragon of panda obstreperousness is on?

You be the judge, in episode seven of A Halloween Carol...

Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…

Meanwhile, copies of The Panda Chronicles Book 6: We R Endangered are reaching their new homes and sounds of laughter are welling up around the globe. Do you have YOUR copy yet? Well why the heck not? Support panda satire! Save the pandas! We R Endangered!!!!

A Halloween Carol Part Five

News Flash!

Twin panda cubs were born at the Toronto Zoo in the wee hours of Tuesday morning! Mother and cubs appear to be doing well, and at least several “twin swaps” have been performed. Pandas from around the world have been sending their congratulations. The paternity has not been determined as yet, and Er Shun isn’t telling. Another pandyland scandal in the works? We can only hope. Da Mao could not be reached for comment.

And now, on with our regularly scheduled cartoon!

Pinky is being Pinky in this next episode of A Halloween Carol (with apologies to Charles Dickens) as Mr. Wu introduces the first of the spirits who will show Pinky the error of her ways.

One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?

Through the magic of the flashback panel, Pinky cannot deny that she was, indeed, naughty. Perhaps an evening of panda videos is in order.

That Pinky is such a little Dickens, isn’t she?

A Halloween Carol Part 4

14 Replies

Yes! at last! here it is! The next episode of A Halloween Carol, starring that precious peripatetic panda, Princess Pinky, in her most challenging role to date, that of a mean, demanding, panda that… oh yes, that’s true. This is not a terribly demanding role for Pinky.

But meanwhile, she has been wreaking havoc in Washington DC by coloring the White House Pink. OK, sure, they may SAY that it is to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month, but we know better, don’t we?

So now, without further ado, here is the next episode of A Halloween Carol (staring you know who!)

Hey! Who said Wu could poof things?

And for those who haven’t yet heard, Book 6 of the Panda Chronicles has arrived! Huzzah! Check it out and order your copy here! And if you already have received your copy, consider writing a review on Amazon, good, bad, or otherwise. Pandas are standing by!

Note the serious black cover!

A Halloween Carol: Part 3

Well, well, well…what would Mr. Dickens say about this representation of Jacob Marley? Will Pinky listen to the lessons that the various spirits are going to bring her? We shall see, we shall see, in this episode of A Halloween Carol…

Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?

Oh my! What will happen next? who will represent the spirits of past, present and future? Do you think I know? Ha! Stay tuned as we all find out just what is going to happen in the next exciting episode of:

A Halloween Carol: Episode 4 (with continuing profuse apologies to Mr. Dickens!)

Editors note: in the event of a panda cam shutdown at The National Zoo, there will be NO discontinuation of cartoons here at the Panda Chronicles! Huzzah! (Linked article is from the last time this happened! Apparently Pinky is not considered an “essential government worker”)

Fabulous Furry Friday Returns!

8 Replies

Yes, it is Fabulous Furry Friday once again! Huzzah! This week we look back on some of our favorite moment with the panda kindergarten.

Let’s start with one of the most important events in a young panda’s life, the Bear Mitzvah!

Today, you are a bear.

…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!!

And what would you get if you put an infinite number of pandas (highly unlikely, We ARE endangered, after all!) in a room with an infinite number of typewriters?

After all, the playings the thing….

And what happens in the panda kindergarten, stays in the panda kindergarten….

The panda kindergarten in las vegas hotel room

What? Pandas are ALWAYS naked.

Bob, Bob, Bob…when will you ever learn?

Is it any wonder that Princess Pinky was a first round draft pick for the panda kindergarten?

Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, and remember, it’s never too late to have some cake! And…um… you could read ALL of these cartoons, any time you wanted to, by buying all of the Panda Chronicles Books! Book 6 coming soon! Just Sayin.’

More Loyalty Oafs

As I sit here, trying to type with big furry paws, it has come to my attention that that some of the human candidates are having a debate tonight. I am not looking forward to debating Princess Pinky. I think she will fight dirty. and then there is the matter of the “leftover Christmas decoration” in the back of my closet. I am sure I did not decorate there last year. Pretty sure, anyway. Could this have something to do with why she knows everything I have been planning?

Meanwhile, I think I am beginning to see why the Two Timing Political Consulting Agency has not finished my video.

Hmmph!

Pinky: I will build a really, really big wall around your zoos if you don’t sign my oaf.

Meanwhile, I am making progress on compiling Book 6 (!!!!!!!) of the Panda Chronicles! Stay tuned to find out the title and see the cover! I hope to have it available no later than the end of October!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!

Loyalty Oaths

19 Replies

Omniscient Editor’s Note: It was bound to happen sooner or later…Princess Pinky would demand to know where Wu and the Meihems stand. Of course, this puts the Meihems in a very difficult position, vis a vis Bob and their political consulting firm. They are supposed to be working on Bob’s campaign video, not signing loyalty oaths for Pinky.

And they say politics makes strange bedfellows. very strange, indeed!

You can’t make me….

How will this all end?

Meanwhile back at the panda ranch, Pinky’s real life brother turned three weeks old on Saturday, and is doing well. I think Pinky has plans for him….

BTW, did you know it is National Cup(py)cake Week this week? I’m ready to celabrate! Huzzah! I happy to report that my favorite London Cuppycake establishment got a mention as one of the 10 best cuppycakes in London.

Don’t Look in the Back Seat!

14 Replies

um…you know when you watch those scary movies, and there is a malevolent force in the back seat, as the hero/heroine drive blithely and unconcernedly around the dark country side. And the camera cuts to a shot of the evil one starting to rise up in the back seat, and you jump up and yell at the screen:

Don’t turn around!!!!!!! Don’t look in the backseat!

Well, think of that as you start to read this cartoon.

Warning: do not read with food or drink in your mouth. #YouHaveBeenWarned

Cue the menacing music…

Meanwhile back on the National Zoo panda front, Xiao Mei Tian (not his official name, just a crib name, as he won’t get either his real name or his panda satire name till he is a hundred days old) has survived his fist week. He is starting to develop his panda markings and is getting nice and round. Huzzah!

I think we can deduce from this cartoon that Pinky is not quite ready to give up her presidential aspirations.

I will have to think of something to distract her….

Fabulous Furry Friday!

It’s Friday! and it is Fabulous and Furry!

I had mixed feelings about making any kind of commentary about the ~~death~~ murder of Cecil the lion. I have friends and acquaintances who hunt for food, but killing a living creature just to put his head on the wall seems so very wrong in so many ways. I couldn’t find anything to make a lighthearted cartoon about, because, as John Stewart accurately said after the murder of 9 people in a South Carolina church recently. “There’s just nothing funny about this.” But the pandas all gathered around me, and reminded me of this important concept, and so I did a drawing in tribute to the endangered among us, on two feet as well as four.

We R All Endangered.

073 we r all endangered 100r copy

And now, on with our regularly scheduled pandas….News from the panda front in San Diego is a little sad, but not totally unexpected. Bai Yun is 24 years old and they decided to give her one more chance to have another cub, as hormonally she was…um…ready. The SDZ folks announced today that Bai Yun is not Pregnant.

I’m sure in some ways, both she and Mr Wu are relieved. The Wu self gets to remain her baby boy forever, and given his attitude about cute cub proliferation, he is probably especially relieved.

Please refer any questions to Mr Wu’s legal team.

Are you now, or have you ever been a panda?

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.

Uh oh. All is not well in Pandyland!

Hope you are having a wonderful summer, and not burning in a raging brush or forest fire. Or experiencing earthquakes or tsunamis. Or anything bad. Just saying.

Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda

PS: notice how I didn’t say anything about the #GOPdebate last night.
