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!

I think it’s high time that Princess Pinky developed a little bit of responsibility, don’t you? Her mother has a job for her, but perhaps it’s not quite the one she has in mind…
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Oh No! Triple trouble for Pinky!
Well, it’s really poetic justice, isn’t it? Not that I would want to be the one to mention it to her….

I could hear the cries of despair from Mehitabel’s fans (and yes, she does have them) and I had no intention of letting her disappearance be permanent. So yes, the cat came back.
And so did Bob!
Despite the fact that Bob is still wearing his vacation outfit, he’s back and ready to report, observant as ever!
um…”ooopsie”?
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Look at that adorable face! Frosting wouldn’t melt in her mouth.
Will there be some consequences for Miss Pinky? Hmmmmmm… tune in next week.
Be the Bear,

Ooopsie! Here, kitty, kitty! Where are you?
Where does one go when one gets poofed by Pinky? I’m afraid I must admit to a certain amount of irresponsibility. I mean, this is fiction, right? Do I have to have an answer for everything???? Meanwhile, Pinky has to answer to a higher authority for her actions.
Yes: her mom. Just because she is now living on her own in real life, doesn’t mean the same rules apply here.
Now where did that cat go?
Small bears will get into trouble, won’t they?

Why, oh why, did Mehitabel not listen to me? I warned her about picking that precocious princess of panditude for her temporary co-host. Pick Mr. Wu, I suggested. he’s become a responsible sub-adult panda, as his work with Inspector Panda has shown. But no. You had to go for the big star, the Smithsonian icon, figuring it would boost Zoonooz’s ratings for sweeps week.
And look where it got you.
I was really afraid this was going to happen. We warned you about that Ides of March thingie, didn’t we?
I can’t help it. I love to draw Pinky when she gets all upset, and…um…poofy. My bad. But where did she go? I guess I’ll find out when you do. That’s what happens when you make Pinky mad. Bad stuff.
Be the Bear,

If there is one thing we just cannot abide (the Dude, notwithstanding) it is people or …um…pandas, getting credit for something they did not do. But that is just what is going on here at Zoonooz headquarters. Some one is going to have to put a stop to these journalistic follies!
And then there is accidentally confessing to something you did do, but hoping that no one will believe you.
We KNEW that was you!
Is there more Meihem ahead?
What do you think?
Meanwhile, the panda season of looooove is heating up! More from the PSofL soon! And don’t forget! Today is the Ides of March. We don’t know what that is, but it sounds scary. Beware!

Are you still here?…That’s what Mehitabel must be saying to herself about now. Why didn’t I hold auditions? Why did I say okay, when Mei Xiang called me and asked if I could give Pinky a job, just a little something to help her through her transition to big girl panda?
But she didn’t, and now she is paying the price, of having a co-host with a big personality. Maybe Bob could come back early…I’m sure he’s learned his lesson by now, don’t you think?
Archie, is that you?

Once again, the panda kindergarten stages their annual Chinese New Year’s pageant, this year we salute the Year of the Sheep! I know! I know! Are you already picturing little chubby panda kindergarteners dressed up as fluffy little sheep? I know I am.
Of course, in some interpretations, it is The Year of the Ram or the Year of the Goat.
Just saying.
Look out!!!! Oh, those triplets!
Really, there is nothing cuter than an upside down panda. Except maybe an upside down panda in a sheep costume.

We couldn’t just leave poor Princess Dumpling with Pinky on top of her wrestling, (or trying to, anyway,) trying to wrestle the award for Panda personality of the year away from Princess Dumpling, the rightful owner. Apparently winning the silver medal was not good enough for Pinky, and she..um…tried to redistribute the awards. Actually, she probably wanted all three awards for Panda Personality and who can blame her?
Princess Dumpling is no dope, however, and she seems to have the lowdown on Pinky and her methods for world domination. Meanwhile, Mr. Wu is probably laughing up the sleeve of his trench coat as Pinky comes face to face with this years terrible trio of interlopers.
Wait a minute…triplets??????
I’m sure the voting system for the Giant Panda Zoo Awards is quite secure and impervious to devious panda perpetrators, isn’t it?

Welcome to the event you have all been waiting for! No, it’s not the Super Bowl, although I have heard that it might be happening sometime soon.* Yes, it’s the Giant Panda Zoo Awards, with your hosts, Babette de Panda, and the actual creator of the Giant Panda Zoo Awards, Jeroen Jacobs. I warned him that I draw pandas much better than I draw people, so if he looks like maybe he might be a panda, I apologize in advance.
Unlike the real world where pandas don’t get much opportunity to socialize with one another, in the world of panda satire and panda stories, pandas really get around a lot. I know, I know, we anthropomorphize pandas and all our pets as well, but heck… why not? Why shouldn’t pandas get to travel and attend award ceremonies? Don’t answer that.
Meanwhile, on with the awards ceremony!
Huzzah!
Introducing Princess Dumpling
We apologize to anyone who is offended by gratuitous panda butt depictions…oh wait…no we don’t.
* Actually, we do know that the Super Bowl is being played today. We even know who is playing!
