Many apologies for my neglect of the blog! I have been running at double speed as I work on various projects (still secret, don’t ask!) and have not been diligent about sharing the posts on Fezbook and Twidder, or answering/approving comments! please don’t let that discourage you from leaving comments. I will get to them when I can! My first priority is getting new ‘toons done and getting them posted on schedule.

Tell me you love me anyway! (#Clap Louder #DontMakeMePoofYou )

But meanwhile, I have a special treat for you! remember that “little incident” when a group of rhino poachers got…um…eaten by a group of lions? Of course I felt compelled to comment! (YAY!!!!!!!) enjoy this series about animals striking back!

Ooooooo-oooo-oooo-we have food tonight…

Panda On!

Mittens Diplomacy

2 Replies

Remember when Mittens went to the G7 meeting and wowed all our nation’s allies with his wisdom and willingness to work together for the good of democracy?

Yeah…me neither.

And then when he went on to England and charmed the Queen with his impeccable manners and deep knowledge of Royal Protocol?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yep, that old Mittens…he’s SUCH a charmer!

PANDA ON!

The only thing that would make Friday more Fabulous…

Leave a reply

…would be the impeachment of Mittens. Sigh… That is too much to hope for this early in the game, but that train is coming round the bend and it’s picking up steam!

Meanwhile, I hear panda videos are very relaxing….

Pinky is just so sensitive….

Oh, Mr. Bun! Where have you been?

Did Unka Justin write this letter?

What happens at the debate, states at the debate…

Uh oh. Is Bubba about to rat someone out?

Remember when we still had hope all would turn out well?

Whoever could it be, to see Pinky in her lair?

Oh Bubba! What were you thinking?

Just what kind of deal is Pinky making?

Biggest scandal since Watergate? Hold my beer….

Um…I had some fluff in my eyes….

Do you suppose the Zoo will hold another referendum on PHEXIT?

Oh those red pandas! They are such characters!

Just when Mei thought everything would calm down….

Panda on! It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

Are You Talking to Me?

4 Replies

Why, yes, I am! While we continue to marvel at the level of dysfunction that is emanating from You Know Who and out of our nation’s capitol, isn’t it reassuring to know that panda satire is alive and well?

Before we get to today’s celebration of cats behaving badly (as opposed to bears behaving badly) let’s get some shameless promotion out of the way. As of now, all the Panda Chronicles books are now available as ebooks.  While personally, I am more of a print book person myself, ebooks are a way you can ALWAYS have Pinky, Bubba, and the rest of the gang (don’t forget WU!) with you all the time, wherever you go.

As an added bonus, if you’ve already gotten the books from Amazon, you can get the ebooks for only $1.99 each! (this only applies to Amazon sales. If you bought it directly from me, this does not apply.) A sweet deal, to say the least!  Through the end of the year, all the ebooks (if you haven’t bought the print books already) are $3.99, so if you’ve been holding off getting the print editions because acorns are scarce on the ground or your book cases are full (we know how that goes) here’s an opportunity to have some panda fun and support panda satire! I’ll be raising the prices a bit in January, just so you know!

You can visit my Book Table page for the direct links to the ebooks! Thanks for supporting Panda Satire!

And now, on with today’s feature presentation!

Lock that cat up, for crying out loud!

Panda On!

Just how disordered is YOU KNOW WHO’s personality?

4 Replies

Pretty disordered, as far as I can see, if the tweets coming during and after John McCain’s funeral are any indication. How many ways can we say, “This is NOT about you”? Of course President Obama’s eulogy was brilliant, and for a moment I did not hate George W; I thought he gave a wonderful eulogy. Although there were definitely some very pointed comparisons to the current administration, most of the rebukes came in the form of recounting McCain’s good qualities and dedication to service, justice and the Constitution.

If you can’t stand to be compared, maybe YOU need to do better, Donnie.

So let’s get on with the show!

Someone forgot to take their meds today, I think.

Once again, Pinky guesses right on the nose!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday, I think…

It’s Friday, the empire is crumbling before our very eyes, and I just had cake, although it didn’t have frosting, so I guess we can say that it’s all coming out pretty much even, right?

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahha*gasp*hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Oh heck! let’s look at some vintage pandas!

mr wu speaks out.

Is this a personality or what?

Yun Zi leaves for China

There’s no place like home…

Yun Zi leaves his San Diego Home for China

Leaving the nest is never easy.

No nonsense to be found here!

I smell frosting!

I have extra frosting!

Well, that’s all I got for you today. The news from the home of our nation’s first panda family is all kinds of crazy. You can find me…well…hopefully they can’t find me…hanging out with pandas

Be the bear, every one!

I BET I HAVE MORE PERSONALITY DISORDERS THAN YOU

6 Replies

Ahem….didn’t mean to go all SHOUTYCAPS on you, but these are disquieting times, are they not? So, while we catch up in Pandyland Studios on all sorts of things, let’s have another episode of Name That Personality Disorder, the *new* game show that everyone (okay, well, me, anyway) is talking about!

And we know who is the most disordered personality ever, don’t we? DON’T WE???????????

Ahem…

Next to Mittens, we all look pretty normal, don’t we?

Panda On!

Name that Personality Disorder!!!!! Huzzah!

Just how crazy do we think it’s going to get?

One Last Day to Celebrate Pinky and Bubba!

4 Replies

I can hardly believe that birthday week for our most favorite bears is almost over. Rumor has it that Pinky is not having a party this year, because she might, um…have a cuppycake in da oven. Won’t that be interesting? because I have chosen (yes, I do get to choose this) to kind of suspend my pandas in time, on a sliding scale, Having Pinky suddenly become a mum, might be too much for my tortured brain.

Meanwhile, my bout of flu last week seems to be gone, just in time for smoke to fill our skies, thanks to wildfires in Washington, Oregon and Canada. Oh, and there is the little matter of the revelations by 45’s personal (former) attorney, not to mention the conviction of his former campaign manager. Are we watching the news or a rerun of The Sopranos? Really, it’s kind of hard to tell.

So let’s have a few laughs and a cuppycake (or three) with Pinky and Bubba!

Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?

The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.

Just a reminder: repeat after me: this is fiction.

What could be better than a bear and her mouse?

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Could this be Pinky’s future office? Pinky: may i remind you, you should have voted for me!

I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.

And of course, one of my all time favorites…

See? I told you it was broken!

panda house

Be careful Ping Ping! The Panda House might not be…um…completely safe.

Ha ha! Oh that Pinky!

Pinky in Wonderland: Episode 13

What’s a little red paint among sisters?

We’re painting the roses a really, really dark shade of PINK!!!!

Time to go off to find Mr. Bun!

We’ll be taking another station break from Pinky In Wonderland, because we have some breaking stories, but have no fear! Pinky in Wonderland will return (as soon as …um…I finish reading the source material!)

And a very happy birthday to our beloved Boo Boo!

Mommee pandas have laser vision. Don’t even think you can hide, Bubba.
