Recap #11: Eat your weight in Cuppycakes

Okay, I’m not really going to do that tomorrow, but on the other paw….

We are almost all caught up with Our Story so Far. I hope you are getting excited about PandaWriMo (otherwise known as 31 Days of Pandas) and the continuation (and hopefully the conclusion of The Case of the Picturesque Panda.

Here’s the next episode!

What you don't know about your favorite art museum....

Recap#10 PandaWriMo approaches!

Yes, it is the month we all wait for all year long, Panda Satire Writing Month, also known as PandaWriMo or 31 Days of Pandas! Huzzah! It is the month when all panda satire writers (I’m sure there must be others, aren’t there?) pull out all the stops and it’s panda, panda, panda all month long.

But before we bring you the next episode of The Case of the Picturesque Panda, we’d like to bring to your attention again, that next Tuesday (one week from today, in fact) has been declared “Giving Tuesday” (don’t ask me who declared this…probably the Associated Amalgamation of Organizations) and our charity of choice is Pandas International. (well, duh!) Buy any of our Panda Chronicle series books or Pandamorphosis from Amazon, and for each book purchased on Tuesday, we will donate $1 to Pandas International.

Because (wait for it) without pandas, there could be no panda satire.

And now, on with our story!

And who gave Pinky her wand back?

Does Pinky know too much?

You just knew that Princess Pinky would weasel her way into this story, didn’t you? Well, you have not seen the last of Pinky! We will finish our recap this week on Friday and on Sunday bring you a brand new cartoon (I swear!) and so begins PandaWriMo! Huzzah!

Until tomorrow,

Be the Bear!

Meanwhile, here is the next recap of our story so far.

Recap#8 & Fabulous Furry Friday

Huzzah! It is Fabulous Furry Friday as we continue with the next recap of The Case of the Picturesque Panda, in this run up to PanDaWriMo, otherwise known as 31 Days of Pandas!

Our Story so far….

Oh no! Not Mr. Wu’s tape!!!! And now it’s FRIDAY and we won’t continue the story until MONDAY!!!!???!!! What ever will we do on the weekend? (And did you notice Mehitabel in her cameo role as Babette’s driver?)

Well, if you’ve been a clever bear, you will have a collection of all five of The Panda Chronicles books, and you will have pandas to spare to get you through the weekend. Word to the wise, and all that. In the meantime, we hope to have a brand new cartoon on Sunday. See you then!

Recap #5 The Case of the Picturesque Panda

Oh that Babette! She thinks she has Inspector Panda wrapped around her dainty little paw. Mr. Wu remains skeptical, while Inspector Panda…well, let’s just say Inspector Panda has his work cut out for him.

Our story continues:

"fuggedabout the bleeping tape!"

“fuggedabout the bleeping tape!”

Oh that Babette!

Oh that Babette!

Inspector Panda: the bear with the clues...

Inspector Panda: the bear with the clues…

Stay tuned! There are mysteries to be solved, and cookies to eat. Cuppycakes must factor into this somehow, don’t you think?

Recap #4 The Inspector Panda Saga Continues!

Oh yes, here we are at last. This changing time zones is for the birds. Or the bears.  Okay, maybe not bears.

Be sure to check out last weeks’ posts if you are still catching up!

I don't know about you, but I think this document is VERY suspicious!

Day 2 of Inspector Panda Recap

Oh boy, PanDaWriMo (the event formerly known as 31 days of Pandas) is about to begin on December 1st!

Huzzah!

I can now reveal that Bob and Babette’s top-secret mission to meet with another set of international pandas has reached it’s successful conclusion. The dynamic duo paid a visit to Hao Hao and Xing Hui of the Pairi Daiza Zoo in Belgium’s beautiful countryside. You can even follow them on Twitter @XingHuiHaoHao How cool is that? The top secret meeting went well, other than the fact that Babette got a little huffy because she is French, and well, that’s just what Babette does, nes’t pas?

And now, on to the next re-cap of The Case of the Picturesque Panda (see yesterday’s post for the re-cap beginning!) (pretend you are listening to noir detective music intro now)

...and so the story begins...

…and so the story begins…

...of a young panda's arrival in France, and all that followed...

The Pandapocalypse has arrived!

…and just in time for Fabulous Furry Friday, no less! Actually, someone has already snuck into the Pandapocalypse Now! stronghold over at Amazon and procured the first copy! Fess up! Who did that????

What’s that, you say? Is there a new Panda Chronicles Compendium perhaps? Why, yes, as a matter of fact there is, and it stars Princess Pinky and the Meihem twins!!! and the cover looks something like (OK, exactly like) this:

It's Pink, but still kinda, um...dangerous!

It’s Pink, but still kinda, um…dangerous!

From the very beginning of Pinky’s reign of terror in our nation’s capitol, until her very first birthday party, this volume celebrates all things Pinky and Meihem in a three ring circus pandapalooza. Like for instance….

I love a good art forgery, don't you?

Oh, those little scamps! “How does you spell ‘hostage’?”

Or how about the first appearance of the Meihems when they were teeny tiny little pandas?

The first appearance of the twinkies on The Panda Chronicles

I’m sure you will want your very own copy (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge) so hop on over to the Pandapocalypse Now! page and scurry on over to Amazon  and get your own copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 5: Pandapocalypse Now!

Not since The Book of Wu have so many pandas behaved so badly. Huzzah!

Pandas are standing by to take your order. (And if you would like to support Pandas International with your purchase, I’ve been told that there is a program called Amazon Smile: just type “Amazon smile” in the search box and then you get to pick your non-profit, if I remember correctly. Once you’ve made that choice, Amazon remembers for future purchases.)
