It’s Birthday Week at the Panda House!

Of course now, The Panda House, at least as regarding Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie, is more of a magical concept than an actual place, since now Binky Li and QB live in the REAL Panda House. But in my mind, Pinky, Bubba, and Bikkie will always live in that Panda House with their Mommee and Daddy (MX: Oh, thanks a LOT!)

Since Pinky’s birthday (Pinky: a BIG nashunal holiday!!!) is on Saturday, We will unveil Pinky’s new “Starter Pack” image today, along with a link to one of her products on RedBubble, the place that I make my designs available on stuff you can buy for your very own. It’s a fun way to support Panda Satire! (Ask and mebbee you will receive!)

But since today is Bikkie’s actual birthday, we must (we must, we must!) share some of our favorite snippets of stories about Bikkie, and of course, his beloved Mister Poppee!

Happy Bearday, Biscuit!

I guess all the pandas are going to want their own Starter Packs. Watch for them through the fall. I have so many ideas*.

A Panda Chronicles faithful reader shared this little snippet of a Meta A.I. reaction to my post of my “Fat Bear Week” Starter Pack. I thought it was kind of funny, but your mileage may vary. Here it is for your enjoyment/edification/outrage or whatever:

“Bob T Panda’s post suggests they’ve created something new, but details are scarce. The reactions indicate 57 people engaged with the post: 16 likes, 27 loves, and 14 haha reactions. Given the enthusiastic response, especially with 27 loves, it’s likely something creative or meaningful. Without more context, it’s hard to say what exactly it is, but it seems people are impressed or entertained.
I’m here to help with a wide range of topics, from answering questions and providing information to generating texts and ideas. I can assist with creative tasks like writing stories or brainstorming, offer insights on various subjects, or simply chat about everyday life. What specific aspect of my work would you like to know more about?”

I could definitely add some editorial comments to Meta’s A.I. B.S., but I’ll leave that up to you.

If Congress can go on Vacation in August, so can I

Okay, I’m not really on vacation, it’s just that some days I don’t get the things done that I think I will. Meanwhile, over at the Substack, I posted the whole story of Ping being targeted by the evil ICE. The second installment drops soon today.

But it IS the Panda Birthday Season, and we do have some important Panda Birthdays looming, so I’ll just take a little dive into the archives and pull up a few things!

Guess who has a birthday in August?

Pinky: if you guessed any bear other than me, try again.

Oh dear….are you going to leave her there?

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

Remember when Six and Sebben’s older sisters were Pinky’s nemesis?

I was really afraid this was going to happen.

Don’t make Pinky mad!

A Very Sunny Thursday

It was too sunny to finish today’s ‘toon, but at least we already know that PPJ has vanquished the evil Ice Maiden and that Ping is safe. We’ll have a little epilogue next week, but for now enjoy these ‘toons from the archive, and rest easy in the knowledge that I decided not to stress myself out today.

It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!

The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?

Sigh…happier times, which we really need to remember, right? Keep resisting, keep fighting for truth, justice, and The Way of the Panda.

More greatest hits!

It was another one of those weeks. Between getting a bit of a cold — first one since covid—and trying to get my tax stuff mailed in (why, oh why?) I didn’t quite get today’s ‘toon done. It will definitely be ready for next week, so in the meantime, I thought I’d pull out some of my Pinky’s greatest hits.

Remember, once an icon, always an icon. It’s not just common sense, it’s the LAW!

Pinky forebber!

Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

Pinky at her poof-iest!

Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?

I want to acknowledge that weeks (are you sure it hasn’t been years) since Mittens came back into power have been extremely hard, and it’s easy to slip into dark thoughts. I am constantly ricocheting back and forth between oh look! the sun is out and I have leftover pizza, and all is lost! F45 is going to steal every penny in the treasury and murder all sorts of people who don’t deserve it, and, and, and…

It’s a struggle to keep on the path, but hopefully a large dose of baby Pinky will help.

I’m so glad you are all here with me.

it’s really kind of amazing how nonchalant everyone in F45 2.0 is over the mishandling of sensitive, maybe classified information. not surprising of course, (can you say boxes of classified documents in a public bathroom?) especially from the butter emails party, but here we are.

can you imagine how upset they’d be to realize that someone in china was listening into their calls/text chats?

let’s find out, shall we?

Huzzah for Wisconsin, electing Justice Susan Crawford to their Supreme Court, despite elmer moose’s blatant attempt to buy the election. and get a load of his whinnying about how it was probably bought by George Soros for the libs. I’m still waiting for my 2020 checks! Huzzah for Cory Booker talking for over 25 hours about all that is going on and what people are suffering from F45’s rampaging about the government.

Pinky has…um…drafted Bubba and Ping to help with her cubpaign. I guess they weren’t as fast as everyone else in their attempted escape.

What could possibly go wrong?

Pinky had some thoughts she wanted to share about the (hopefully) arriving pandas to the Pandiego Zoo later this year. I say hopefully, because as we know, many things can go wrong between now and then, so while I’m keeping my fingers crossed and my thoughts hopeful, I’m not all in on positivity, if you take my meaning.

Isn’t it reassuring that Pinky is so consistent in her viewpoint?

No?

Oh well.

Will this be the last time Mommee Mei tries to get Pinky to improve herself?

Unlikely…

She’s only letting Pinky THINK she is giving up trying to reform Pinky. Mommee Mei is relentless…kind of like Pinky.

Panda Birthday Season

2 Replies

It’s the high season of Panda Birthdays. This week we celebrate the birthdays of the great Mr. Wu, the triplets (aka Pinky’s minions) and PPJ, Pinky’s real life daughter and supernatural apparition within The Panda Chronicles.

Let’s get this panda party started!

Remember when Mr Wu got a present from da panda kindy?

Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?

Mr Wu finds out that the Meihems were born in Pandalanta

What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?

And then, of course, there is Princess Pinky Junior, aka PPJ. Here, to celebrate her birthday, is the entire story of her arrival in the Panda Chronicles, “Someday you’ll have a cub just like YOU” aka Pinky’s nightmare.

I hope you enjoyed our encore presentation of this segment of panda birthday season! Tune in next Sunday when we start our monthlong celebration of the most famous pandas anywhere (Pinky made me write that) Bikkie, Bubba, and of course…um…what was her name? Oh yeah! Pinky!

BTW, I made a felty cake to celebrate Mr. Wu’s 10th birthday. It’s one of a kind and includes Mr. Wu atop his cake. The whole thing stands about 5 inches tall with Wu. It is available for $98 + shipping. Send a message via the Contact Us page.
