Yes, we are heading into Daylight Losing Time again, and you knows what that means!
spring back, fall forward?
As you know, my birthday season has started! One of my early memories is how all the other cubs got parties for their birthdays, but because my birthday fell in the beginning of other holiday seasons. somehow I never did. This obviously had long lasting repercussions in the instituting of the Birthday Season!
Remember, your Birthday Season lasts one day for each year old you are! Hey, I don’t make the rules here!…(oh…wait a minute…yes I do!)
Let’s have some CAKE!!!!
All salute the sacred cuppycake!let there be cake!If it’s my birthdaycseason, there must be cake!
As promised, here is the second part of A Halloween Carol (Starring PINKY!!!) and a few random Halloween ‘toons, since it’s actually all Hallows Eve here in the states. (At least until the repugnant-cans declare that it is a pagan holiday, and as such, cannot be tolerated!)
On with the SHOW!
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?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?
And now, a few of my favorite Halloween ‘toons!
Trick or Trick!!!!!!!Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!
Have a fun and safe Halloween! Don’t eat all the candy before I get there! And don’t forget to vote! Election Day is Tuesday! Local elections are important!
It’s time for our second favorite halloween tale (after The Wizard of Wu, naturally) A Halloween Carol! Part 1 will be this week, with the exciting conclusion next week on Halloween proper, here in the US of A. Of course much scarier things are happening in the halls of power, but maybe we can have permission to forget them for just a little bit, while we enjoy this Encore Presentation of…
A Halloween Carol (part 1)
Bubba’s first feature role!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?
‘Toon in next Sunday for the conclusion of A Halloween Carol! Bwahahahahahahaha!
Be the Bear! Bob the ‘T’ stands for Trick or Treat Panda
Here we are again, while we try not to gnash our teeth as we read of the idiocy of various state governments outlawing private businesses from having vaccine or mask mandates, or forbidding of teaching any history does not center white men as paragons of virtue. I have worn out the “WTF” keys and the “FFS” keys on my keyboard.
But we have the next installment of The Wizard of Wu’s encore presentation to share with you, so, let’s unclench our jaws, have a bootini and some poppy corn and enjoy the show!
Sigh….
Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!Ride you pandas! Ride!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!!!
Well that wraps up our annual Halloween Season Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu! We hope you enjoyed it!
Be the bear, and tune in next week for more of our NEW story, The Bears of The Baskervilles, as well as what happened to Bob when he met up with the zebras!
Fat Bear Week continues, but even more importantly, It’s OctoBEAR and that means Halloweenie! And as I previously mentioned, that means for the next couple of Sunday’s we will be having our annual special encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu!
So let’s get started, shall we?
The Wizard of Wu Part 1We’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?
Toon in next week for the next installment of The Wizard of Wu!
Be the Bear! Bob T Panda
A Reminder for the Holiday Season
USPS has made plans to slow down deliveries…why? Because they can, also Louie De, so if you are planning to order pandas for the holidays, order early, so they can actually get to you on time. After last years debacle (at least one priority mail package mailed on December 7 did not arrive until January 10th-ish.) I would rather not mail any packages after December 1st. Right now I have a fairly relaxed production schedule, so unless it’s a big order, I can still get pandas done in a week or so.
We are in the tail end of September (How the heck did THAT happen????) which means that it’s almost October, and you know what that means! It’s almost time for our annual rebroadcast of The Wizard of Wu!!! Once upon a time, a long looooong time ago (when there were only 3 major networks to choose from!!!!) The Wizard of Oz was rebroadcast every year right around Halloween.
This was so long ago, that when I first started watching this movie, we only had a black and white TV, so even when they got to Oz, it was still all in black and white. Eventually we got a color TV and I was so excited to watch the annual encore presentation of The Wizard of Oz, because IT WAS GOING TO BE IN LIVING COLOR!!!! Imagine my surprise, when the first and last part WERE STILL IN BLACK AND WHITE!?!?!?!?!?!?!
WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!!!!!?????
I guess only Oz gets to be in color. Any of you who live in Kansas…is it still that way?
No matter…we just need to kill a little time until next Sunday when The Wizard of Wu will come to you in several parts, followed by A Halloween Carol (starring PINKY!!!!)
Let’s see what comes up from the archive wayback machine for today!
Will Bob ever learn NOT to turn his back on the panda kindergarten? No, we didn’t think so, either.I have extra frosting!another cartoon inspired by real news!Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this storyInspector Panda says, “Know the signs of cuppycake dependency”Legalize cake today! Prevent illicit cuppycake activities.All salute the sacred cuppycake!
A quick note about Fezbook: as you all know, on Fezbook, I am Bob T Panda, a claim I can not actually substantiate with any actual documentation. Should the powers that be ever find me out, or if I lose my account to some foul hacker, I will not be able to get my account back without revealing my true identity. I do not want to do this, since the powers that be have proved themselves to be soulless cretins who sell our private data to the highest bidder and allow actual trumpsters and fascists to spread misinformation and hateful rhetoric. If I should lose my account, I will not go back. You can always find me here or over on Twidder @pandachronicle
So, of course, I am legally obligated to rerun the Wu the Pirate series.
I don’t make the rules here!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!Wu does not have any paddlesAn 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.”
I hope you enjoyed this first Wu adventure, just in time to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day 2021! ARRRRRRR!
And remember, all felty orders through Saturday September 25th will include a Wu the Pirate embroidered iron on patch!
While the panda birthday season continues (Yang Yang of Zoo Atlanta just had his birthday this week) we have finished with the major birthdays in The Panda Chronicles personalities, so that leaves me with a round up of ‘toons from Septembers!
But never fear! October is just around the corner and we will have our annual broadcasts of The Wizard of Wu and A Halloween Carol, two of my favorite stories!
So sit back, and enjoy while I rummage around in the past September ‘toons from the archives!
Do we have to count panda adoption fees?Our lack of taste is only exceeded by our sense of the absurd.Varooooooomba! Thanks to Lynnie Ness for alerting us to the “off label” use of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!We’re waiting…*tappity tap pity tap*
We’ll be back with new ‘toons on Tuesday!
BTW: I’m taking orders for halloween felty pandas, so if you would like to add to your themed holiday pandas, now is the time! Order by September 30th for arrival in October!
Order dates through September 30th for Halloween delivery

And now, the conclusion of Being Endangered is Such a Curse!
She who must be obeyed… The hero of our tale emerges…Won’t someone save these innocent little pandas???Oh Bubba! Be careful!!!!Did Pinky just poof her little brother? Stay tuned!But all the power in the world is nothing compared to the power of Mommee!Bubba: wait! why am i in trubble?I think I see a slight resemblance to a Pinky tantrum…just saying.Everyone knows the party isn’t over till you can sit down and re-hash it!All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????
I hope you enjoyed our Encore presentation of Being Endangered is Such a Curse! Have a Liddle cake to celebrate! (Not to mention all the propeller spinning on Bubba’s cap!)
I will not confirm or deny whether any of the dialog is inspired by actual family interactions or conversations.
Frank and Mikey bid a fond farewell to their Mom and siblings Scooter and Josie. I’m sure they had a wonderful time!
Back to civilization!
On this date in July of 1969, I was at music camp in Morgantown West Virginia. Over 100 campers gathered around the television in the lobby to watch this momentous event:
One step for a small bear….
Or maybe something sort of like it.
Enjoy your day; get vaccinated, wear a mask, and stay safe! I can’t afford to lose any more fans of panda satire!
