You may recall, as we ended our last episode, that the phone was ringing after Mommee Mei liberated Bubba and Ping, from their Pinky precipitated imprisonment. Who could it be?
Was it:
The Zoo Director?
The Canadian twins?
Big brother Tai?
Well, bless her heart!
Panda on!
Wands up!

Disturbing news…I mean NooZ… came from the Bronx Zoo this week, when it was discovered that at least one of the tigers and several lions had contracted COVID-19, probably from one of the keepers who was asymptomatic. (This is a correction from earlier when I said it was the Woodland Park Zoo with the plague-ridden tigers. I think I confused a news story I read later, because the WPZ was checking their big cats for COVID 19 infections after the Bronx Zoo news.) This has troubling implications, for owners…I mean servants of domestic cats. It is unknown whether it could be passed back and forth from you to your cat, so you might want to wash your hands after playing with Mr. Kitty and refrain from kissing your cat on the lips. I don’t know anyone who might have done this. 🙄
While we wait for the Woodland Park Zoo tiger to have his interview on ZooNooZ, I’ve assembled some of the previous appearances of tigers here at The Panda Chronicles. But first, I wanted to share a video sent to me by a friend of panda satire!
We have had all too much disturbing news, and more comes across our screens every day. All too often I find myself riding the downward spiral into despair that life will ever return to normal. Every trip to Twitter-land reveals heartrending stories of love and loss, but also uplifting stories of hope and kindness. While I will never quit poking at injustice and moronic anti-leadership, I want to make sure what we roll with is not all rant! Pandas are fun and light and love, after all (just ask the Hong Kong pandas! “What do you MEAN have I seen youtube???”)
So, before we enjoy tiger palooza, I share this video sent to me by one of the friends of the panda kindergarten. Make sure you take note of the socks at the 1:31 and 1:42 time stamps!
Much better to take a selfie with pandas!
You know we’re just kidding about this, right?
I really had no idea what she was up to.
There were no tigers involved in this plan, so it must be okay, right?
Aren’t you already in enough trouble, Pinky?
“Just run along and put these brochures where people will see them!”
You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?
Panda on!
Wands up, everyone!

What were we doing at this time last year? I suspect we thought things could not get possibly get worse, but then, here we are!
The discovery of thousands of tiny pandas has rocked the archeological world! This find has been compared to the thousands of terra cotta warriors, discovered in China!
Some of the tiny felty pandas have already made their way to their new homes! More are on their way. Currently, I’m able to complete the pandas for about one group every week or so. Fans of Mr. Wu, heads up! your pandas will heading your way late next week!
Please, just go away, KittySue!
Wee are pandas too!!!!
Unka Rusty has some seriously feisty opinions!
Dis. Will Not. STAND!!!!!
Note to Bubba: never listen to Pinky
I see trouble in my crystal ball…
Even Nancy Pelosi listened enthusiastically!
Pinky is in the House!!!!
Panda on everyone!

Before we dive in to our Year in Review encore presentation, can I just say OH MY FRIGGING GOD!!!! The tiny panda (Hold me closer tiny panda) Kickstarter reached its goal amount 13 minutes after launching. I am astounded with gratitude for this response. It also was listed as a Kickstarter Project We Love most of the day on Friday. Needless (or needle-less) to say, I have a lot of felting to do over the coming months. If you are afraid you missed your favorite panda, check back at the project, because I added some more reward categories!
Thank you again, from deep within my heart. I can’t wait to get these pandas to you! (After I make them of course!) This has the added benefit of getting to visit the Abundant Earth Fiber store again, which may now be called my happy place!
it was a total coincidence that Babette’s ‘toon should run today.
Moove over! You’re crowding me!
Look who’s here!
If you go out in the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise!
Who could have done this????
Did I just see what I thought I saw?
Bwahahahaha!
So, Mikey…how was the Grand Ol’ Opry?
Will these two ever get along?
Well, that’s it for today’s wrap up! See ya real soon!
Panda on!

Oh my goodness! It’s Day 31!!!! It’s New year’s Eve in my time zone. for some of you, it’s already next year! What ever time zone you are in, take a deep breath, sleep in, if you can, and think about how you are going to combat authoritarianism this year!
I’m going to do it by speaking out here, and in the real world, and keep drawing my ‘toons that speak my truth!
WE need to do better in 2020! What can possibly go wrong?
Panda on!

I hope you are spending the morning in your PJ’s, surrounded by those you love. Holiday’s are not all they are cracked up to be, for many people, so if you have a complicated relationship with supposed joyful times of year (whatever holiday you do or don’t celebrate) cut yourself a great, big length of slack. Just remember, if your holiday is not what you wish it was, Donald tRUmp’s is turning out even worse than that. 🙂
Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy our feature presentation (starring Pinky!!!)…
Zank hebben…for leettle bears!
Wait…who did you say is the star?
How many times do we have to tell you, DON’T ANSWER THE DOOR!!!!!
Babette can talk anyone into anything.
Uh oh.
When trouble arrives, it’s time to call for some MEIHEM!!!!!
This may be a job for…Inspector Panda!!!!
Inspector Panda has arrived! He’ll…um…solve everything!
Where is Babette taking them?
Cue the scary music!!!!
Will Pinky save the day?
How about that! Pinky DID save the day!
Happy New Year’s Eve and a (Im)peachy New Year!
Be the Bear!

My sincerest thanks, and fondest thought are with you all! Thanks for another great year in panda fandom!
Oh my! Day 8 of 31 days of Pandas is upon us!
Panda Socks are (mostly) all in the post, and some have even arrived! Huzzah! But now, let’s not waste another minute obsessing about whether this is the end of democracy, the beginning of the end for Mittens, or the end of the beginning!
When we were very, very small…
Why look! Eet ees Bebe Maurice!
Off with her head!
Is that turtle Too Much McConnell? Who needs a mallet to the butt more than he does?
Oh tidings of treason and greed.

Happy Caturday! For those of you who serve cats, congratulations! While my feline overlord has gone to her reward (unlimited tuna and no one bothering her, one might guess) I look forward to the day when once again I can hear the pitter patter of thundering paws. How an animal so small can make so much noise is beyond me!
Our story continues…
What did we tell you?
Bubba wouldn’t be such a smarty pants if he wasn’t up in that tree (and couldn’t disappear at will)
I don’t know if I would eat that mushroom, Pinky!
Don’t eat that, Pinky!!!!
Be the Bear!

How’s ebbryone doing? I was remarking to one of my FB friends, that it was kind of funny that me, a 60’s hippie/counter culture type, was fan girl-ing over all these constitutional law scholars and former US Attorneys. Anyone want to join me in the Joyce White Vance fan club? I appreciate her sane demeanor, knowledgeable discourse, not to mention, she explains things in a way people like me (not a lawyer) can understand.
Made by the same highly scientific company as the Cute-o-Meter!
Those little pandas look vaguely familiar!
Wouldn’t it be better if dey was a very dark shade of pink????
Time to go off to find Mr. Bun!
I’ve always hated when movies do this…
Mittens: No Room! No Room! You look like you’re not from around here!
Panda on!

PS: Most of the socks have been shipped out! I will mail the rest tomorrow! Let me know what you think! I’ve worn a pair and they are quite comfortable!
Oh me oh my! We just got the news that there will not be any baby pandas in DC this year! We send our love to Mommee Mei and family, and hope that they (and we!) can get over the disappointment!
Till we have news of the potential pitter patter of little paws in Calgary, we will have to be content for news and pictures of Hao Hao’s twins in Belgium at Pairi Daiza, and Meng Meng’s in Berlin. Not to mention an active baby panda season in China!
…baby pandas! You’re getting baby pandas!!!!
“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”
“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “
And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?
Such a little darling! How could her big brother resist spoiling her?
Pinky tests her powers….
Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!
Bubba’s first feature role!
He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!
Panda On
