Mr Wu is in the thick of it now! Captured by the Panda Kindergarten, who are under the evil spell of the wicked witch (played brilliantly by Mehitabel the cat, if we do say so ourselves,) and it looks like there is…
No
Escape…….
Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?
Ha ha! Oh that Princess PinkY! What will she do next? Stay tuned for the next two episodes of The Wizard of Wu!
Huzzah!

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,

The Wizard of Wu is in it’s final week and it’s all Wu all the time, and excitement doesn’t begin to cover it! Oh my ears and whiskers, things are getting exciting here at The Panda Chronicles!
The wicked witch has sent her hench-pandas out to capture Wu, so that she can get the magical bunny slippers. I did promise there would be NO flying monkeys, but I didn’t promise there would be no monkey business!
Ride you pandas! Ride! An evil wind breaks!
Don’t move from your computer because another episode of the Wizard of Wu will be here tomorrow! Stay right there! We’re (and by “we” I mean the NSA) watching.
Be the Bear!

Oh dear, new wardrobes, new names, what’s a panda to do? Lun Lun claims that she knew all along, and I, for one believe her. (Never argue with a full grown mama panda!)
Editor’s Note: after consultation with several fans and noted pandologists, it has been determined that changing the twinkies on screen names here could cause grave psychological damage to their personalities. Therefore, since Bert and Ernie could be nicknames for Roberta and Ernestine, I have decided to let their cartoon identities stand. Plus then I don’t have to go in and change their names on the paper dolls. Just ignore the monograms on todays uniforms. These were hand me downs from older pandas. (Why changing their name would be more traumatic than changing their gender, is a mystery for the pandologists.)
“I couldn’t understand why those silly humans didn’t see it all along,” said Lun Lun in a recent ZooNooz interview. “Anyone could see how my sweet Po had my beautiful fluffy cheeks! The twins are too young to be traumatized by the misidentification, but I worry about my darling Po in her new life in China. Some girls can be so mean.”

Ready for panda kindergarten!
Stay tuned for future panda satire on the subject of incorrect gender identification amongst pandas! Fun!
Meanwhile, may we make a helpful suggestion to aid your holiday shopping? The Panda Chronicle’s three books are all available on Amazon (not to mention Moonraker Books in Langley!) Huzzah!
Back to the drawing board! Panda satire waits for no bear.

You know how when you get a DVD these days, it has all these “special features” like interviews, “the making of…” blooper reels…well, we wanted to have a bunch of that stuff too. And so, 31 Days of Pandas is pleased to bring you….
Stay tuned later this month for the outtakes and blooper reel!
Pandas will NEVER get the better of Mehitabel!
And if you’re still on the fence about what to get Aunt Mildred and Uncle Larry, (not to mention your brother in law) for Christmas, Kwanzaa or Hanukkah, there’s still time to order The Panda Chronicles Book 1, 2, or 3! Keep Panda Satire alive and well by buying our books!

Greetings Panda fans. Many (if not all) of you know that in addition to being the leading practitioner of Panda Satire in the world (Hey! Until I hear different, I’m claiming it!) I’m also a painter, who shows and sells her work. I live in a wonderful little corner of the world, which besides abounding in natural beauty, has more artists, musicians, writers, actors, chefs and artisanal farmers than you can shake a stick at. (Shaking only, no hitting please.) A little over a year ago, some dedicated, hard working folks thought it would be a really good idea to have an information resource that benefitted both the creative types that live and work here, but also anyone who wanted one publication in which to read about all the amazing stuff that’s going on around here.
And so, Whidbey Life Magazine was born, an online resource for all the arts and culture on Whidbey Island.! There are a small band of us who write for the magazine, but the magazine is mostly fueled by the hard work of its founders, Jan Shannon and Sue Taves, not to mention our long suffering, cat herding editor, Patricia Duff. So now, they would like to add a twice yearly print magazine to the mix, so as to reach even more people who want to know what all the fuss is about on Whidbey Island. They have started an Indiegogo campaign to make that a reality.
Of course, the pandas wanted to…um…help:
Don’t believe EVERYTHING the panda kindergarten says!
I know that many of you who are reading this might not live here, but I hope you’ll take a little time from your day to see what we are doing here, and maybe even support this project. You can read WLM here and see if we offer something you would enjoy and like to support. And then, check out our Indiegogo project. And…um…a date with George Clooney is NOT one of the perks. Just sayin’.
The panda kindergarten is waiting to take your call.

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!

I hope you are having fun with Princess Pinky and all her new outfits. Wait! All, you say? Yes! Here is another new outfit for Pinky, inspired by my recent tour of 19 Art Museums (yes! 19! really!) on the East coast of the US of A.
Since my return, I’ve been attempting to catch up on new pandas for you, oh loyal fans of panda satire! Just to give you a few hints, more of your beloved pandas will get their own paper dolls (move over Babette de Panda!), Mr. Wu will finish his current adventure, and then appear in a short holiday special (It’s a Pandaful Life) and who knows WHAT the panda kindergarten is now getting up to, except that it might involve operations at the North Pole AND cuppycakes!
And without any further delay, we bring you Princess Pinky’s next outfit!
Inspired by one of Pinky’s favorite artworks, a sculpture by Edgar Degas, which seems to be in every art museum on the east coast.
And for those of you who are technically challenged (like my self), here is pinky in her new outfit!
Isn’t she a vision of loveliness?
And because it’s Fabulous Furry Friday, there must be an encore presentation for the folks playing along at home!
All salute the sacred cuppycake!
Stay tuned through the weekend for MORE 31 Days of Pandas! And don’t forget, The Panda Chronicles book make EXCELLENT holiday presents!
Be the Bear!

I bet you woke up at 3 AM this morning, while it was still dark, and tried to stay in bed, but you were so excited to see if it had really happened…you snuck down the stairs drawn uncontrollably to the glowing light coming from your computer, just to see if it had arrived….
Was it really the day that EVERYONE waits for all year?
Yes, it is…It is Day One of 31 Days of Pandas! Huzzah.
I don’t know, Princess Pinky…I think Mr. Wu is going to have something to say about this.
I know you are going to want to clear your calendar, and put all those Holiday parties on hold, because you will want to be the first on your block to read each day of pandas.
Welcome to Pandyland!
Be the Bear,

…don’t think that we forgot Fabulous Furry Friday! Of course, we must run last year’s brilliant (if I do say so myself, and I do,) satire of the unfortunate (OK, stoopid) incident at a large discount retailer last year….
Ah, fall…or something…is in the air!
And if that is not enough silliness to get you out of your turkey coma….
but now what will they do when they get to the Olympics?…..stay tuned!
And in case you were too busy eating one too many pieces of pie yesterday to see this cartoon….
Princess Pinky says, she is thankful for cuppycakes and da panda kindygarten and her magical wand!
