Attention Must Be Paid

Attention must be paid…to Pinky’s mommee, if no one else. Watch as Pinky plays a round of Evade the Question!  (Thank you Jasper Fforde!) ( I excelled at this game as a teenager.)

Cause and effects are very complicated concepts for baby pandas, don't you think?

Cause and effects are very complicated concepts for baby pandas, don’t you think?

But don’t try to pin this on your minions, Pinky. You are going to need them later when you…um…make your big announcement. Every politician needs some minions who are willing to do their bidding, don’t you think?

Maybe no one will be able to trace the outage back to the panda house.

Maybe.

Um…did someone turn out the lights?

Okay, I think this is just a really cheesy ploy to get out of doing all that composition and cross hatching you do in order to draw all the pandas. Are we going to let her get away with this?

Hey, everyone needs a day off once in a while.

Fabulous Furry Friday presents…Tales of Wu

2 Replies

Oh heck…I don’t know! lets just do something random….maybe Wu related, since Princess Pinky has many of the new featured spots in the coming weeks…

Let’s have some Wu-wu-wu-weally good times for Fabulous Furry Friday!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of boo beer!

Who can forget Mr Wu’s first adventure with the Panda Kindergarten?

episode 11

And what about when he met Bee, the Bear, when he ran away to Join the circus?

Mr Wu speaks out!

And then there was his reaction when he learned about the birth of the Meihems!

(Thanks to one of my FB friends…was it you Debbi Z? who quoted Mr Wu’s line ” Dis. Is. A. Travesty!!!!! last week over on FB….if it wasn’t you, maybe someone will correct me. :o))

it's a wonderful life

And, yes, it IS a Wu-nderful life!

We're in for it now, Binky!

We’re in for it now, Binky! Who could forget The Wizard of Wu?

If you wish you could read the whole of these tales of Wu, hop on over to my book page, where you can order the Book of Wu, with a handy link to Amazon. You know you want to.

The Great DC Blackout 1

14 Replies

A few weeks ago, there was a power outage in Washington DC (which we like to call “the OTHER Washington” out my way) but has it ever been shown what caused the DC Blackout?

Hmmmm….I wonder….

What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?

More Email Scandals

14 Replies

It was bad enough when Bob used his private email account for his official campaign communications, but I had no idea (I’m shocked, I tell you!) that Princess Pinky was doing the same thing. Who knew that zoo panda communications were considered official documents?

What could Pinky be up to...?

Who would have thought that this would cause more email scandals ….

Fabulous Furry Friday

Fabulous Furry Friday wants to enlighten all those enquiring minds…

The Panda Season of Love is in full swing, but soon we will all be waiting to hear the pitter patter of little paws. Will they or won’t they? The thing with pandas, is, that you never know for sure until a cub drops out onto the floor, and sometimes even then you don’t know whether it will be one or two cubs.

Pretty cool, huh?

Meanwhile, we have no idea if Lun Lun is interested in staging a repeat performance, or if Mei Xiang, mom to Princess Pinky will want to do it all again.

we are still hoping for a panda cub trifecta

And then there was that whole scandal about pandas pretending to be pregnant in order to get “special treatment”…

Prevaricating pandas perceived in pregnancy pastry ploy

It was dark...there were men in masks....

It was dark…there were men in masks….AND NOW IT’S HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

And then there is that whole business of what sort of cub you are going to end up with. If Mei Xiang had know what her little princess would be like, would she have continued the project?

Bao Bao is unhappy

I can hardly wait to see what Mei Xiang thinks of her daughter’s latest aspirations….

By the way, thanks to all of you who have ordered #WeREndangered coffee mugs from our Pandyland store on Cafe Press! I’ve added two new designs in the #WeREndangered series, one starring Mehitabel (she does have a lot of fans, you know!) and one for Princess Pinky. During the entire month of April (that’s right now) I’ll be donating a percentage of the profits from the sale of these three mugs to Pandas International! Huzzah! Remember, without pandas, there can be no panda satire!

You are really going to be endangered if I don't get my coffee soon!

I can't be responsible for the consequences if you don't vote for Pinky!

Triple Trouble Part the Second

14 Replies

All I can say is, Pinky had best adjust her attitude and make peace with the smaller pandas, because the pitter patter of little paws may happen even closer to home, if you get my drift.

Triple Trouble indeed!

Meanwhile, the Panda Season of Love is in full swing, and you know what that means. Even more little pandas on the horizon. Wow.

Huzzah!
