It’s Mini-Mei Monday!

Okay, okay, let’s not get spoiled and expect that Princess Pinky is going to have a new cartoon every Monday, but she really wanted this one to be posted, and with the National Zoo pandacam still down, I felt compelled to provide this public service to the nation. And don’t think there will be a Twinkie Tuesday every week either! The young pandas of this nation are just going to have to share Mondays for a while.

Pinky tests her powers….

Meanwhile, if you didn’t already know, the third book in The Panda Chronicle series, Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten, is now available on Amazon. Just click on the handy button over there on the right hand column! I know that not everyone has book buying in their budget and that’s why I share my panda satire here and on Facebook and Twitter for free, no subscriptions needed. But of course, writing and drawing take time and buying my books is an excellent way to support panda satire. And while you’re at it, buy them for your friends too! Okay, commercial over. Now go out there and be the bear!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

Wowee, a big day at the Panda Chronicles just because I shot my mouth off. There are (and will continue to be) some who disagree with me. It’s not only the role of cartoonists to entertain; sometimes we have to poke gentle fun at people and events we think need poking. Sometimes it gets us in trouble, and sometimes people who don’t agree stop listening, and that’s OK. Art is about expressing what the artists feels, not saying just what they think people want to hear, which would be tough, since there are many points of view. Just sayin.

Now let’s have some fun, relax and embrace our inner pandas, ‘kay?

What's that stuff getting all over my paws? Oh...it's frosting!

The inside of my brain is a complicated place.

The secret lives of the wild panda!

Maybe if you do a little yoga, you’ll feel better. Just breathe, ‘kay?

OK, folks! have a good weekend, relax, have a cuppycake, and think good thoughts.

‘kay?

It’s Mr Wu Wednesday and we have a Double Feature!

9 Replies

Huzzah! Just because the government felt the need to go to their room and take a nap, doesn’t mean that we ever rest here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire!

Now, there have been a few allegations flying around cyberspace tonight, and I aim to put them to rest right here and now. There is absolutely no proof that Mr. Wu planned and implemented the government shutdown, for the sole purpose of shutting down the National Zoo Panda cams. Mr. Wu has called a press conference to clear up any misunderstandings….

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

And now, back to our regularly scheduled feature: Episode 5 of the Wizard of Wu!

What could be waiting outside? Where the heck ARE we, Binky?

I definitely don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.

Be the Bear!

PS: Princess Pinky will be back in another Mini-Mei Monday episode next Monday!

In celebration of the release of Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten….

…we bring you a new cartoon about none other than the panda kindergarten! Huzzah! We promise that Princess Pinky will be making occasional appearances on Mini Mei Monday, but she is still too young to have a whole day every week all to herself. (“no! i isn’t!”)

Varooooooomba! Thanks to Lynnie Ness for alerting us to the “off label” use of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.

And yes! we have released the third volume of the collected cartoons of the Panda Chronicles! Huzzah! Book 3 is titled: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten! The wind may howl and rain may fall, but it won’t keep the panda kindergarten from their appointed rounds! This (and all the other books in the series) are available through Amazon and you can find them by following either the link in the right hand column, with the colorful cover, or by going to the page titled “The Panda Chronicles: The Book(s)” at the top of this page. It’s not too early to get copies for holiday presents!

Meanwhile, Mr. Wu will return on Wednesday with the next episode of his adventure in the Wizard of Wu. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!

Till then, Be the Bear!

Oh my ears and whiskers! Mr. Wu is in for it now! But let’s give you a re-cap of the first episodes of Mr. Wu’s newest adventure…

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!

And now, the latest episode:

I don’t think we’re in Pandiego any more, Binky….

This is getting kinda scary, (but very ‘citing!)

The Princess Speaks! (Well, sort of…)

Of course we are all so happy that the little princess is doing well and getting um…rounder by the day. It was time for her to get her first baby present, don’t you think?

Such a little darling! How could her big brother resist spoiling her?

Now, if she can just keep the panda kindergarten at bay!

Be the Bear!

Oops...International Talk Like a Pirate Day was yesterday…sorry, but it was so much fun, I didn’t want to stop!

Since you had a big bonus day yesterday, I’ll just publish a small encore presentation. (If you missed it, you’ll want to see yesterday’s post for the full Mr. wu’s Pirate adventure!) Here’s a little something from the soon to be released (really soon!) The Panda Chronicles Book 3: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten:

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

Nothing like a bit of the great outdoors to straighten up the panda kindergarten.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Hey, It’s International Talk like a Pirate Day! Huzzah and AAArrgggHHH!

While Thursday is not a normal posting day (and don’t get any ideas about Princess Pinky Thursdays) It IS a national holiday, and by that, of course I mean, International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Huzzah!

In honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I hereby re-run, in all it’s entirety, Mr Wu’s very first adventure, which I call, A Pirate’s Life for Wu! Enjoy!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!

Mr Wu is up the creek without a paddle…

An 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.”

Don’t you love “rear shots” of baby pandas?

Avast mateys! You’ll be bein’ the bear now, I wager!

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Make Way, Make Way! A Panda Princess Approaches…

Oh, long have we waited for this day! Our Panda Princess, now just over three weeks old, born into the seat of Panda Power in Washington DC. A recent statistic hit the FaceWaves today, 38 panda cubs were born around the world this year, with 34 of them surviving. A major accomplishment in Panda Proliferation, indeed!

And now, for her debut appearance in these pages, we present…

And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?

Meanwhile, back at the drawing board, We await the arrival of another bundle of joy…yes, the proof copy for Book 3 of the Panda Chronicles may just be waiting for me at my post office box. As soon as I make sure I didn’t make any boo-boos (or that the printer didn’t) I can push the old “publish” button and make The Panda Chronicles Book 3: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten available to panda satire fans everywhere.

If you are a newsletter subscriber, you’ve already had a sneak peak at the cover. So if you aren’t a newsletter subscriber, you can see it here for the first time!

Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten!

and the back cover is just as cool!

A Big Pandy thanks goes out again to Stevi Grega for contributing this tagline.

A small bit of housekeeping:

Due to changing the platform on which The Panda Chronicles appears, I seemed to have misplaced all my subscribers, from the previous incarnation. I f you still wish to have pandas arrive in your inbox whenever I publish a new post, you will have to re-subscribe. Thanks for understanding the limitations of my being a bear of limited technology aptitude. Newsletter subscriptions were unaffected by this change, in case you were wondering.

Don’t forget to tune into Mr. Wu Wednesday!
