…and by that we mean National Panda Radio, of course. Princess Pinky has taken over the station, as you will see if you tune in on Sunday, but we thought you might enjoy a glimpse of the early days of National Panda Radio! (Starring Bob as a very young panda!)
One of Bob’s earliest appearances on our show!
Panda Talk! My favorite show!
Don’t forget to come back on Sunday….Pinky Promise, okay?

I’m sure that Inspector Panda will forgive us for bumping him out of his usual day, I hope to make up for it on Sunday with the next exciting episode. I mean, how could I leave you hanging with Mr. Wu roaring off with the panda kindergarten, just after Babette (was THAT Babette????) stole his tape?
Because I’m an evil person…um…panda deep down.
But, today’s ‘toon brings a recent kerfuffle between Pinky and the Meihems to a close, and was inspired by this news story which was just. too. enticing. to ignore. Here’s another account of the incident which was extremely inspirational in creating todays’s offering. You may recognize Pinky’s parting remarks as a quote from the news story.
And in case you are just joining us this week, here are the previous cartoons (which will all appear in the soon to be released Book 5 of the Panda Chronicles!)
If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.
Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?
The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.
“Do you know who I am????” Yeah, we do.
Be the bear,

Yesterday was International Red Panda Day! And no, we don’t mean that pandas are communists. We’re talking about those cute little guys called red pandas and while they are from the same neighborhood and do have that sort of thumb thing going on, they are not closely related to giant pandas. (“Yeah”, say’s Wu. “We’re much bigger, maybe even GIANT”)
Ahem.
We were invited to come on board over at V Something Speaks for her celebration of Red Panda Day, but in case you didn’t go by there, here is the cartoon starring Rusty, the Red Panda who escaped from the National Zoo in Washington DC, until they finally caught up with him at Georgtown Cuppycakes have a little afternoon repast.
“They’ll never catch me!”
I think Rusty is a excellent candidate to join the panda kindergarten, don’t you?
Hope you had fun on Talk Like a Pirate Day and International Red Panda Day!
Pandi-darity forever!
Be the Bear!

…because then it would have to be something like “Marvelous Munchie Monday” or something like that.
We are having a burst of summer like weather, which, if I was still in school, I would be looking longingly out the window, wishing I could frolic in the sunshine…Wait a minute…I am inside, looking out the window!
OK, well, here are some ‘toons to get your through the weekend! Then I’m going outside!
No nonsense to be found here!
enquiring minds want to know….
I’m ready for my close-up…um..I am, aren’t I?
Don’t Touch My Stuff! (this means you, Gail.)
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Be the Bear!

Oh my ears and whiskers! Princess Pinky’s fans have been at the zoo for HOURS, the cake has been licked and climbed upon, Pinky has opened her presents, and the forces of Meihem have been corralled (for the moment.)
Fortunately, Inspector Panda has his able assistant on the scene, working undercover.
The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.
Tune in tomorrow afternoon for the post party wrap up. (Is this any way to treat an icon?)
Hey, I almost forgot! You can still get the ibook version of Pandamorphosis for FREE through the weekend! Here’s the link. Woo hoo!
Be the Bear!

Yes, it is Fabulous Furry Friday , and rather than our usual practice of running an …ahem…encore presentation, in honor of Princess Pinky Bao Bao’s first birthday eve, we have a
Brand.
New.
Cartoon!
That’s correct, panda fans, because we think you deserve the best! So, without further ado, here is Princess Pinky’s Birthday Eve ‘toon:
Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?
And yes, a birthday (actual day of) cartoon is in the works. I’ll…sigh…be home here working…while all of you are drinking bootinis, eating cuppycakes, dancing on the table with pandas, off in Washington DC…sigh..really, don’t give it another thought…
Be the …sigh…bear
Bob T. Panda
And…um…by the way.. while I wait for final approval to actually SELL Pandamorphosis as an iBook, you can download it for FREE, yes, you heard that right. Go to your iBook store and get your copy, and if you are in the mood, slip me a few stars if you like it. :o) (for iPad and other IOS devices and Macs : Kindle version coming soon!)
Oh, yeah… the meihems are on the warpath, so Pinky better watch out!
Will the twins get a merit badge for their road trip? will Lun Lun fess up to where the girls are? will Inspector Panda get a clue, or at least more twitter followers. Stay tuned!
Oh, Pinky…what have you done?
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of Inspector Panda!
Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda
I didn’t want to leave you hanging in the story of Pinky, the Meihems, and the great Highway Closure scandal…
…of course Boo-mints are pretty good too.
Tune in tomorrow for one more episode…
Be the Bear
Bob what did you buy me? T Panda
So…
You may remember a little incident earlier this year, when Pinky used her computer skills to close all the highways leading to Zoo Atlanta, and re-route them to the National Zoo in Washington DC? And it really messed up the Meihem twins’ (Bert and Ernie) Panda Scout cookie sale? And then Inspector Panda showed up and made things worse?
Well! As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold.
If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.
Pinky never should have messed with the Meihems! Tune in again tomorrow as we bring you more of the Best of Pinky to celebrate Princess Pinky Pandas birthday week!
And a note to my book buying fans, I just started work on organizing cartoons for the next Panda Chronicle book, Book 5: Pandapocalypse Now! which features Pinky and the Meihems! Huzzah! My cunning plan is to be done with all the work of formatting the book by mid September, which means it will be available for your holiday shopping. Huzzah!
I also plan to get back on the newsletter routine, at which I have been woefully inadequate these last few months, so if you are not already signed up, now is the time, because I will have some fun news to announce and I am going to do it there first! So if you want to be able to say “nyah, nyah, I already knew all about that,” get yourself up to the top of the right hand column and sign yourself up where it says, “Get Even More Pandas” ‘Kay?
Be the Bear
Buy Pinky presents!

Once again, we return to the story of a bear that loved cuppycakes not wisely, but too well. So, what happens after a bear becomes famous for behaving badly?
He goes on a talk show, of course!
Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story
As luck would have it, one of my faithful readers actually knows the people this happened to! No, really!!!! So here’s an email that they sent to all of their friends, to tell them of the incident:
“Hi All~
“Don’t know if you caught this in your local news, but we had an exciting first birthday party for our son Jackson! Minutes before guests were arriving at our house, a black bear climbed on our roof and fell through our skylight!
“Thankfully no one was hurt. Glenn and the bear had a bit of a stand off The bear ate some cupcakes and then I was able to shoo him out the back door. This crazy stuff only happens in Alaska!
You can read the real news story here. And special thanks to another faithful reader who suggested that maybe the party Mr Bear crashed was one of the panda kindergarten’s birthday season parties. (I lost track of who that was…please comment here so I can give you credit -or blame. :o) )
Keep being the bear!
