It’s time for another Holiday Classic: The Wizard of Wu!

6 Replies

Every time I reread The Wizard of Wu, I am enchanted all over again! I remember watching The Wizard of Oz every year around Halloween, and I was always terrified by the flying monkeys, by the evilness of the wicked Witch of the West, the whole idea that you could be whisked away by a tornado and wake up in a frightening new world.

So, after our re-broadcast of A Halloween Carol, I thought we should also have an encore presentation of that other holiday classic, The Wizard of Wu, for our Fabulous Furry Friday presentations! (Be on the look out for some cameo appearances for the newest junior pandas on the US panda scene!)

Huzzah!

where happy pandas eat bamboo, oh why, oh why, can’t…Wu?

We’re in for it now, Binky!

Hang on to your hats, kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

I don’t think we’re in Pandiego any more, Binky….

What could be waiting outside? Where the heck ARE we, Binky?

Part Two: A Halloween Carol

Leave a reply

Huzzah! It’s time for the second half of that much loved holiday classic, A Halloween Carol! And not only are we in the Trick or Treat season, this month also boasts a Friday the Thirteenth! And it’s TODAY!!!!!!!! 

But it’s not even halfway through the month, so next Fabulous Furry Friday we will rebroadcast another of our favorite scary classics, everyone’s favorite, The Wizard of Wu!!! Are you excited now? Maybe this will take everyone’s mind of the Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Or Maybe Not. On with the show!!!!

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.

Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…

Was that list in small type, single spaced?

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

Wasn’t that fun? I hope nobody got really scared and threw their popcorn all over the room like…um…some pandas might have.

Be sure to tune in on Sunday for the next episode of Ping Ping Arrives at the Panda House, and of course for next Fabulous Furry Friday’s Fantastic Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu!

We Regret to Inform You…

2 Replies

…that we missed Talk Like a Pirate Day and International Red Panda Day! Really! I go away for two weeks and everything goes to panda poo! (but more about that later!) As the Meihems say, regret is a given! But what better excuse to rerun Mr. Wu’s pirate adventure and a toon or too featuring our reactionary red pandas?

You won’t regret re-reading all these classic toons!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!

21) Rusty the scuppers, pirate crew…

An explorer’s work is never done.

The penguins save the day!

“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”

And let’s not forget the red pandas!

Oh those red pandas! They are such characters!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

Once again, Fabulous Furry Friday rolls around, to bring you encore presentations of previously shown ‘toons. Why do we do this? NOT because we are lazy and don’t want to write and draw 3 new cartoons a week. Oh No! Okay, not entirely for that reason. (We do have some other projects in the works, after all!)

But as hard as it is to believe, there are some people reading these ‘toons who have not been here from the beginning, and maybe they would like an introduction to all the pandas, who work at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire (Putting pandas to work since 2008)

Of course, you could buy all my books and then you’d be up to date, wouldn’t you???

You could say this group of ‘toons comes from the Don’t Say We didn’t Warn You division.

cat came back

Is it just my imagination or does Mittens look even more crazed than before?

what do you have to lose?

Mittens is really back.

The Great Escape

Of COURSE Pinky has a secret tunnel!

Resistance is futile

All Mei Xiang has to do it look stern and…

Pinky

Well, who did you THINK she would enlist in her final attempt to stop Mittens the cat?

Do NOT mess with Pinky and the Meihems!

do the right thing.

The Power of the Poof

day after

Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.

Alas…it did not turn out as we hoped.

Resist, good pandas, resist!

Have a great and fabulous furry Friday, and try not to worry about…um…anything.

We Want More Cake

Leave a reply

Because who wouldn’t want more cake or in this case, more cartoons about cake and cuppycakes? I can’t think of any self respecting panda who wouldn’t be saying more cake! more frosting! under similar circumstances.

So let’s have more cartoons about more cake…

There must be cake!

pandas in the laboratory

Can you calibrate the cuppycake?

Last Supper, Cupcakes, DaVinci

Princess Pinky says, she is thankful for cuppycakes and da panda kindygarten and her magical wand!

inspector panda and cuppycake pushers

Inspector Panda says, “Know the signs of cuppycake dependency”

Legalize cake today! Prevent illicit cuppycake activities.

Escape! Come with me, little cake, so we can be alone together.

“Madame Babette sees all!: I see cake in my…er…your future!”

And a Fabulous Furry Friday to Yoo Too!

Whew! It’s been a busy birthday season here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire! It is entirely possible that we’ve had about as many cuppycakes as we can stand (NO! There can NEVER be too many cuppycakes!) So, for this Fabulous Furry Friday we celebrate…

All things CUPPYCAKE!!!!!

Cuppycakes in art!

let there be cake!

31 days

Oh come on…hasn’t that ever happened to you? One minute there are two dozen cuppycakes just sitting there, and the next minute they’re gone?

another cartoon inspired by real news!

Thanks again to Henry Nicholls for alerting me to this story

I have extra frosting!

can’t I have just one more cuppycake?

Well, that was fun! And when I searched for ‘toons about “cake” I found so many that we might have to do this again next week! So until then, remember to:

Stand on your cake
Defend your cake against mommee
Try not to get frosting on your fur.

Panda on and tune in for the next episode of Being Endangered is SUCH a Curse! It’s getting really exciting, huh? Until then, here is a video of a bear playing the piano!

Panda Trek 2: The Next Generation

As I was looking for ‘toons for this week’s round up, I realized I had not done any of the twins until January of 2017. Partly, I’ve become a little superstitious, and not wanting to do ‘toons about baby pandas until I’m reasonably sure they are healthy, but mostly, I think because I was…um distracted. You know what I’m talking about.

Anyway, onward with the cute baby pandas.

little gift

The little gift that keeps on giving!

wished

Would it be such a bad thing?

rooster

It’s the year of the WUster!!!!

Summit

“Why can’t my children be as well behaved as Lun Lun’s,” mused Mei Xiang

brave

Oh, brave new world, with such pandas in it!

magic

baby pandas need their own magic bunnies to look out for them. We R endangered, you know.

Twinkies 2.0

Twinkies 2.0 put on a show!

And now…we continue with our feature presentation...Being Endangered is such a Curse! (on Sunday, of course!) Stay tuned to this station!

Pinky and Bubba’s birthday week continues!

2 Replies

There are sooooo many ‘toons about Pinky and sooooooo many ‘toons about Bubba (Pinky: AND PINKY!!!!!!) that I thought this Friday’s wrap up should be about…guess who!!!! Let the birthday week encore presentations continue! (While you catch your breath for the next exciting episode of Being Endangered is SUCH a Curse!!!)

One day is not enough! We demand a birthday WEEK!

But first, in honor of Mei Xiang’s delicate condition….

Mei Watch! My favorite show!

summer vacation

Mei is certainly ready for summer vacation, but maybe Bubba needs some summer duds!

“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”

Mommee Mei puts her foot down.

Complete with a flashback to the Meihem’s party just a few weeks ago…

Remember Pinky’s first birthday?

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.

Bubba’s first feature role!

What goes around, comes around…

March

Whats a protest without pandas?

Stay tuned for more episodes of Being Endangered is SUCH  a Curse, as well as next Fabulous Furry Friday’s tribute to the next US birthday bears, Six and Sebben! And if you’d like to read the whole stories that we’ve shared with you here, you can find most of them in Book 5: Pandapocalypse NOW!, Book 6: We R Endangered, and Book 7: Don’t call mee boo boo!
