Fall Forward; Spring Back!

4 Replies

I am back from my travels and getting back to work, but didn’t quite get a new ‘toon for today, but I have several in the works! I’m hoping to get them done by the end of the week and then be a bit ahead of things. Hahahahahahhaa! We’ll see!

But…wait…what…travels you say? YOU didn’t tell us you were traveling. Well, I tend not to, ya know, announce my house will be empty and all, but I did and I’m back. Also, the feckless cowards that currently run the goobermint did not have the fortitude or spines to stand up to F45 and re-open the goobermint, so we were deprived of our visit to Binky Li and his beloved QB.

Fortunately for my ‘tooning/painting schedule, this weekend is the semi-annual changing of the clocks so it’s a great opportunity to re-run one of everyone’s favorite ‘toons! Also, the original Halloween ‘toon is a perennial favorite!

Trick or Trick!!!!!!!

BTW, this ‘toon is pre-Pinky, but maybe a foreshadowing of Pinky’s outfit and attitude!

spring back, fall forward?

I hope you enjoyed the recent Encore Presentations of A Halloween Carol and the Wizard of Wu! If you missed them, you could go back a couple weeks and see them.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! Important elections are happening next week, especially in Virginia and New Jersey! Even less important seeming elections are happening everywhere. We have an important school board election here, and you might too.

Voting is our right and our responsibility! Use it or lose it!

Bob T is going to fill out his ballot and turn it in on time Panda

I just know those flying monkeys are about to show up! The suspense is killing me! Could this be the end of our tale? Or our tails?

Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?
But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!
Ride you pandas! Ride!

Well, the Panda Kindergarten is a LITTLE less scary that flying monkeys, right?

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!!!

Huzzah! We have reached the end of our fabulous Holiday Classic Encore Presentation, The Wizard of Wu! I hope you had a really good time and enjoyed this (’cause it’s kinda a lot of work finding all these ‘toons and setting them up in order. ) So Maybe now would be a really good time to go shopping for stuff with pandas on it over at the Panda Chronicles RedBubble shop! You know you want to!

Thanks again for being here! Now if we could just make Mittens go *POOF*

Bob T there were some scary parts Panda

Here we are again, with the next installment of your all time favorite Holiday Classic, The Wizard of Wu!

Don’t I know you from somewhere?
Mehitabel would like to register her protest about given the least sympathetic role in this adventure.
Okay, now it’s getting exciting! Scary parts dead ahead!
I have a bad feeling about this….

And in which we meet Mr. Toasty!

Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?

And who doesn’t like bagels?

‘Toon in again next time for more of The Wizard of Wu

Bob T isn’t this better than listening to Mittens blather on about the Nobel Peace Prize Panda

You know this is your favorite Spooky Season Story, right! It has everything! Wicked witches, enchanted bunny slippers, and dastardly cuppycakes. Not to mention, Mr. Toasty!

where happy pandas eat bamboo, oh why, oh why, can’t…Wu?
We’re in for it now, Binky!
Hang on to your hats, kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
I don’t think we’re in Pandiego any more, Binky….
What could be waiting outside? Where the heck ARE we, Binky?

Isn’t this exciting? Now would be a good time for some Hot Cocoa and whippy cream and mebbee some poppycorn!

Be the Bear and ‘toon in next week for more Spooky Season Encore Presentations!
Bob T I’m scared now and the witch hasn’t even shown up yet Panda

A Halloween Carol; Part the second: Spooky Season Continues!

Oh boy! Pinky and the Meihems as the ghosts of Halloween past! What could possibly go wrong?

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.
Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…
Was that list in small type, single spaced?

Oh, there is that pouty Pinky face I love so much!

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?
Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

All’s well that ends well, right?

Don’t forget to ‘toon in on Thursday for the first installment of The Wizard of Wu! Another of our favorite Spooky Season Encore Presentations!

Bob T encore presentations are my jam Panda

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!!!!

Panda On!

Seriously, would you expect anything less from Frank and Mikey? (Ping can’t do everything!)

Hey! Tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

What a good time to get Mr. Wu Pirate Merch!

Frank and Mikey’s Big Adventure Part 5

4 Replies

It seems like we should be way further along than part 5 of this adventure, but maybe that is because every day seems like it is lasting about 2 years. I wish escaping Mitten’s 2nd Reign of Terror was as easy as driving away with a couple of bears, but alas, we are stuck here for the duration or whatever is coming next.

So, without further ado (about nothing) let’s hop in the backseat with Ping as Frank and Mikey continue on their journey to hang out with their friends at the Falls, for the Fat Bear Festival.

Don’t drive like my brother!

A trip to the archives!

6 Replies

This has not been a great day, woke up with a headache. Not the headache in DC, this one a bit more localized. So I’m going to dive into the archives for some ‘toons from Septembers past!

THIS is your brain on pandas. Any questions?

Our humble beginnings!

Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.

And remember what happened in August of 2013? I’ll wait…

And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?
Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!

somehow it always comes around to Pinky! How does that happen?

We’re waiting…*tappity tap pity tap*
Mittens is really back.

Sigh….He is back and we wish he would leave.

Well, that’s our dive into the archives for today! I’ll try to track down Frank and Mikey and see where they are on their trip to Brooks Falls for the 2025 Fat Bear Contest! Life is a laugh a minute, is it not?

Bob T this is why we can’t have nice things Panda
