Roadblocks make for quiet zoos….

…and what with the traffic diversion from Zoo Atlanta to The National Zoo in Washington DC, it was very quiet. You must admit that it was a very sophisticated bit of hacking for a six month old panda!

Princess Pinky has declined to comment on the “incident.” “i don’ kno nuffing bout it,” said Princess P. through her press office, “but did you see i is on da cobber of anudder magazine? pinky is a star!”

This is bad news for Panda Scout Cookie sales! (But you can get Girl Scout cookies through March 16th!)

Time to call in …Inspector panda!

Huzzah! I’m sure Inspector Panda will be able to sort it all out. Um…pretty sure….

Squee.

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use the “storyline” that came out of the realms of “Political Intrigue: New Jersey edition”…you know what I’m talking about. And who would be a better mastermind, than our nation’s first panda princess…but don’t tell! There’s sure to be a cover-up.

George Washington Bridge lane closure satire.

Princess Pinky Bao Bao…what have you done now?

And while we’re talking politics, if you haven’t heard, a panda is running for mayor of Washington DC, you can read about his campaign on Twitter! Is that cool or what? He has our support, for sure! Check him out on twitter at @PandaforMayorDC Or, is it little Princess Bao Bao who has her eye on the prize? (Rumor has it, she’s getting ready to throw her tiara into the ring!)

Thanks again to all my Kickstarter supporters. My project was wildly successful, news will be breaking soon, so stay tuned. (Better than wind breaking, I guess.)

….so here is Princess Pinky with a new episode! (Apologies to Mr. Wu, for taking over Mr. Wu Wednesday, but he was um…busy.)

Never say “No” to a Pinky!

Be the bear!

Remember, there are 9 more days to visit and pledge on Pandamorphosis on Kickstarter, and the same to have any Panda Chronicles Book purchases benefit Pandas International during February. Huzzah!!!!

And now from our bears on the spot at the Winter Olympics

Wow, It has been wild around here this week. We are having a great response Pandamorphosis has been getting over at Kickstarter, and then all day yesterday, I thought the power was going to go out, because there was so much wind and rain.

But the show must go on, as they say, and the Pandalympics are no exception. Here we have the latest Olympic sport for the Panda Kindergarten!

hey, are dere any more cuppycakes?

And don’t forget, there are just 10 more days to have your purchases of all three Panda Chronicles books over on Amazon help to support Pandas International in their work with pandas. For each panda Chronicle book that is bought this month, I will donate $1 to Pandas International. Come’on. Be the bear.

It’s just like the panda says! Buy my book and real pandas benefit!

I have defeated the evil computer…

…and I didn’t even use a hammer. It was definitely touch and go for a while, but thanks to some advice from various friends around the interwebs, new software from the scanner maunfacturer, I was able to finally, (FINALLY!!!!!) quit farting around plugging, unplugging, rebooting, ad infinitum and finally, at the end, it was a case of using one cable rather than another. (not that I didn’t need the updated software, but maybe if they had had the link on their website in the first place, AND suggested trying both the USB cable as well as the firewire cable, it might have only taken me three days instead of 6.) Special pandy thanks goes out to Aaron Shepard’s blog, My Mac Fixes for the solution to my woes, as well as Frances and Ann, who suggested looking on Goggle and the support forums rather than running out to someone who would charge me $75 to say, “did you try this other cable?”

Is it any wonder that people are fed up with technology and the people who supply it as well as use it it? Oh, wait…they want me to buy a new scanner! uh huh…

Bad taste alert! BTW I’m lying about never doing it again.

The following cartoon addresses a very tragic incident that happened last week. Yes, I know, it’s not a funny situation, but my experience of the last week leads me to realize more than ever, that people’s nerves are stretched pretty thin, and it doesn’t take much to push someone over the edge.

I resolve not to make any resolutions….

…although it MIGHT be a good idea for the panda kindergarten to resolve a few things, and then the there’s Princess Pinky….how do you solve a problem like a princess?

Hey! here I am on Sunday afternoon, working on my new schedule, which is to bring you the Monday cartoon on Sunday! Huzzah! Of course, if you don’t check in until Monday, well, the pandas will be here waiting for you. Mr. Wu Wednesday will continue, although he doesn’t have any adventures planned for a while. I think maybe he should stay home for a little bit, don’t you?

Speaking of planning (who was speaking of planning?….Oh wait, it was me!) If you want to be the first to hear about what I have planned for the next year, you still have time to sign up for my once-in-a-while newsletter. (I’m sending it out on Tuesday morning) This month, not only is it chock-a-block full of news, I also have prepared a PDF of the entire Wizard of Wu adventure story. Huzzah! Buuuuut, the only way you’ll get it is to sign up for my newsletter. It’s the second from the top sign up form on the right hand column, just under the sign-up to get these posts delivered to your inbox.

And now, bring on the bears!

Princess Pinky helps with new years resolutions

You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….

Oh, that adorable Princess Pinky! What will she do next?

Day 31: It’s a WUnderful Life – Episode Nine

8 Replies

Oh my! It is not only the last episode of Mr Wu’s most recent adventure, but it is the last day of the year, and even more importantly, the last day of 2013’s 31 Days of Pandas!!!!! Huzzah. Well, not Huzzah! that daily pandas are coming to an end, but Huzzah! that I managed not to miss a single day of NEW cartoons, every stinkin’ day!

Huzzah! Here are some 31 Days of Pandas statistics that I find interesting in my own pandy little way: There are 245 (plus or minus a panda here and there) drawings of pandas within these 31+ drawings. That is more than an 800% increase over the original year of 30 days of pandas. (someone might want to check my math on that one.) There was an average of over 1500 page views per week during the month. Huzzah! I know that’s not quite the big leagues, but it sure beats the heck out of the early days when 10 views was a really big day for the pandas.

There is much panda-ing in store for 2014. Pandas kept me going through 2013, which quite frankly, felt like a year long Friday the 13th, if you want to know the truth. But enough about that! Let’s have the final episode of It’s a WUnderful Life!

Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!

And here’s a little bonus, especially for those of you who have joined the panda fun here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire recently: The Panda Kindergarten’s New Year’s Eve!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

Be the Bear, and thanks for stopping by!

Ah, fall…or something…is in the air!

And if that is not enough silliness to get you out of your turkey coma….

Hello panda fans! Mr Wu has had to step out of his new adventure, due to certain allegations regarding the NZ panda cam shutdown, but he will be back…um..where ever that adventure is taking place, next week. We pandy promise!

Are you now, or have you ever been a panda?

Really, if we couldn’t laugh about this, we would start crying.
