Today starts our Holiday Encore Presentation of It’s a WUnderful Life, which explores the existential question, pondered by Jimmy Stewart’s character in a complete rip-off of this version: what would the world be like if there were no more baby pandas?
‘Toon in tomorrow for the next exciting episodes of It’s a WUnderful Life!
So, of course, I am legally obligated to rerun the Wu the Pirate series.
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!
Be the Bear!

It’s Mr. Wu’s Birthday Season, so let’s all enjoy this encore presentation of Bears Under the Big Top. If you missed the first half of this feature presentation, just go back to last Sunday’s post!
We hope you enjoyed this feature encore presentation! Maybe it took your mind off of, ya know, the republican attempt to disassemble democracy. Mebbee not.
Be the Bear.

One of the first long stories I wrote, was the one where Mr. Wu runs off to join the circus with the panda kindergarten. I think it was his first meeting with Bee, the Bear. Since it is Mr. Wu’s birthday season, I thought it would be fun to have an encore presentation of the whole story.
You can find this story, as well as other stories of the Wu Self in my 4th ‘toon collection, The Panda Chronicles Book 4: The Book of Wu. (available from that big online retailer who shall not be named)
‘toon in next Sunday for the conclusion of our story, as well as on Tuesday and Thursday, for the further excellent adventures of Frank and Mikey!
Till next time, keep defending democracy, get your vaccination, and Be the bear!
As always,

It’s that time of year again when a panda’s thoughts turn too…um…what was it they turn to?
Since it’s the Panda Season of Love, all felty panda orders in the month of March will have a bonus of a roll of Panda Season of Love Washi tape!
Tape is about 1 1/8″ wide and rolls are about 10 YDs long. Shows brighter here than it is.
I hope people haven’t had enough of silly love songs!
I just love the cub reporter.
Love in the Time of Mittens (which, quite frankly, is a lot like the time of cholera)
The Scottish pandas have had a few disappointments…
A bear by any other name, would still smell pretty funky.
A panda by any other name, would smell…well, they would just smell…

Oh man! This is getting pretty intense! How can Mr. Wu’s Mom not recognize the real Wu Self? But wait! Just like the Frank Capra classic, Mr. Wu sees the light and life goes back to normal!
Did you miss the beginning? Start HERE!
Part 2: HERE!
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!
Be the Bear!

Be sure to tune in next week for our Encore Presentation of 101 Baby Pandas!
Let’s step away from the crazy people yelling about stuff on Twidder (except for me, of course) and watch the next installment of It’s a WUnderful Life, where Mr. Wu, a small town panda learns what life would be like if no more panda cubs were born….
Did you miss the first installment? You can see it here!
What part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!
You won’t like this, Mr Wu!
Those darn cats!
Oh man…this is getting intense! What will happen tomorrow??? Join us tomorrow for the exciting conclusion of It’s a WUnderful Life!
Be the Bear

Hold your horses, Pinky! It is still Mr. Wu’s birthday season. We’ll get to yours next week. Meanwhile, if you are still on Fezbook and can follow Patricia Rice’s panda birthday posts, I highly recommend them. Given that she is a real life historian, she writes excellent birthday posts for many of the known captive panda population, including most of our favorite bears.

Voices in the night, a ladder, a letter…adios…

We all have our first panda, and so they become our favorite panda for all time. Mine is Mr. Wu. I was already watching pandas when Yun Zi and Po were born, but I wasn’t really WATCHING them, if you know what I mean. Maybe they didn’t have the den cams yet, or I didn’t have the internet at my house, (or a MePhone) so my panda watching time was limited.
Watching Mr. Wu from birth, he inspired many ‘toons and had the stage to himself, before the Meihems and then Pinky came on the scene to steal his thunder.
Dis. Will. Not. Stand!
21) Rusty the scuppers, pirate crew…
An explorer’s work is never done.
“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”
Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?
Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?
“Up in the Air, Junior Pandas…”
Nothing like a snappy graphic to um…solve a problem!
May Day! May Day!

Bet ya didn’t see this coming…or maybe you did.
This week we lost another shining light in the fight against inequality. Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis passed away this week after a struggle with pancreatic cancer. Maybe it is the continuous assault on truth and fairness and vulnerable people that comes in a never ending stream from the WH. Maybe it is the pandemic and the weariness of the (necessary) restrictions, but news of his death hit me hard.
I have to believe that enough people learned from him, and are carrying on his work. I have to believe someone who fought so hard and paid for his activism with physical assaults would not leave us unprepared for the fight to regain the soul of this country. The impact he had on this country are immeasurable. Rest in Power, John Lewis. I hope from wherever you are, you will be able to watch and see that your sacrifices were not in vain.
March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell (Illustrator)
This powerful, three-book, graphic autobiography written by Lewis (and Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell) is Lewis’ first-hand account of his fight for civil and human rights and the American civil rights movement he was a part of. If you haven’t read this already, I highly recommend this series.
Let’s all get in some #GoodTrouble
