Day 2 of 31 Days of Pandas! Uh Oh, Mr. Wu is not Happy.

6 Replies

Well, it was bound to happen, wasn’t it?  Cuteness competition for Mr Wu has reached new levels as the Atlanta Twinkies (Bert and Ernie) emerge from their den and Princess Pinky (aka Princess Bon Bon) has her naming ceremony at the National Zoo in Washington DC.

Mr Wu tries to take charge

Uh oh. All is not well in Pandyland!

Play nice children! There is more to Pinky than just her adorable tutu!

By the way, we just had a Google Hangout with Dana Sitar of DIY Writing, for the conclusion of ManiWriMo, a month long challenge to write my big idea Pandafesto, Embracing Your Inner Panda. I didn’t …um…finish it, but I got a good start and I will continue it (till it’s done, darn it!) and hopefully get it out there for people to read in the first part of 2014.  Stay tuned, because all the gang here at the Panda Chronicles will be on board to get my pandafesto out to you. (Even Mehitabel want to embrace her inner panda!) If you want to write your own Manifesto, join Dana as she cheers on participants starting today!

Be the Bear and join us for the whole 31 days of pandas! Huzzah!

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.

Princess Pinky announces 31 days of pandas

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!

…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….

…and we are back with episode 12 of The Wizard of Wu! Huzzah!

But before we get to that, let me give you a few hints about what is to come in the next month. A couple of years ago, I was inspired by Kevan Atteberry‘s 31 days of monsters in October. So, I …um…”borrowed” the idea and did 30 days of pandas in November, in honor of Zoo Atlanta’s panda Po, for his first birthday. I added one panda a day to a single drawing, and everyone had fun figuring out where the next panda would go, and just when  the birthday boy was going to appear.

So last year, I changed it to December and did 31 days of pandas, which let me tell you was an over 600% increase in the number of pandas that I ended up drawing. What was I thinking?

I was thinking I would do it again! So hold onto your panda hats and get ready for another 31 days of pandas, starting on Sunday…(note to self…get some ideas of what to do next month) If you are signed up for my newsletter, you may have noticed that I didn’t get around to last month’s newsletter, but I will definitely send one early in December, with news about some upcoming panda projects that I have up my…um…paws.

And now would I just shut the heck up and post the %#**& cartoon already?

Mehitabel soaks Mr Toasty

Sorry, no photo bomb from princess Pinky. her mother thought todays cartoon was too scary for her

See you on Fabulous furry Friday with a recap of our story so far!

You can lead a horse to water, or as Dorothy Parker once said, You can lead a…oh well, um…never mind about that. Bob has decided to hold some cultural events for the panda kindergarten, in hopes of civilizing them a bit.

Ha ha.

Fabulous Furry Friday…again?

Whew…one more week closer to the end of the year. I wonder what resolutions the panda kindergarten is considering.

Meanwhile, get ready for another 31 days of Pandas coming to you in December. Don’t even plan to go into work. Spend the month with pandas, pandas, pandas! I have an idea, which I shall reveal to you soon.

Say it isn't so!

Mehitabel takes over….

Um...Bob? It's not that sort of bucket.

But not for long!

#7 Mr Wu Wednesday: Even with NO Flying Monkeys, it’s Scary

Oh dear, I just can’t look.  You look and tell me what’s happening! Is Mr Wu OK?  Are you on the edge of your seat?

Good.

The wicked cat of the west attacks Mr Toasty

That cat is pure evil!

I know, I know, I’m introducing the bucket of water too early, and the witch is supposed to be afraid of water.  I could have had Mr. Toasty’s bread catch fire, but somehow, I didn’t think he’d recover from that.

Cats get no respect around here

It is a sad, but true fact, that this cartoon feature once belonged to Mehitabel. Oh, she’d occasionally allow another cat, or maybe a bunny to appear, but mostly, it was all about her.  The one day a panda showed up, and then another, and then yet one more.  Finally the panda kindergarten came on the scene and it hasn’t been the same since, for poor, poor, Mehitabel.

Cats are no match for pandas

What’s a cat to do? Pass the cake, please.

Happy panda birthday season! Huzzah!

Will Mehitabel survive this flashback experience? Or will it turn her against pandas, once and for all?

What with all the attention Princess Pinky has been getting in this cartoon, the Atlanta Twinkies feel they have been slighted.  get in line behind Mr. Wu, fellas.  You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Today, however, is Pinky-less. apologies to her fans.
