Recap#8 & Fabulous Furry Friday

Huzzah! It is Fabulous Furry Friday as we continue with the next recap of The Case of the Picturesque Panda, in this run up to PanDaWriMo, otherwise known as 31 Days of Pandas!

Our Story so far….

The panda kindergarten arrives on the scene, and…

Not the tape!!!!!!

Could that be the mysterious Babette de Panda? What does she want with Wu’s tape?

Oh no! Not Mr. Wu’s tape!!!! And now it’s FRIDAY and we won’t continue the story until MONDAY!!!!???!!! What ever will we do on the weekend? (And did you notice Mehitabel in her cameo role as Babette’s driver?)

Well, if you’ve been a clever bear, you will have a collection of all five of The Panda Chronicles books, and you will have pandas to spare to get you through the weekend. Word to the wise, and all that. In the meantime, we hope to have a brand new cartoon on Sunday. See you then!

Be the Bear,

Recap #6: The plot thickens…

Inspector Panda is in for it now! Babette has him hooked into her story, for better or worse. Thank goodness Mr Wu has a level head on his shoulders.

The search for clues begins…

…but Mr Wu still has a lot to learn when it comes to detecting.

Stay tuned to this very space, as we bring you up to date with Inspector Panda’ latest case, The Case of the Picturesque Panda, as we get ready for 31 Days of Pandas when our story will continue.

And for fans of Pandamorphosis, my print gallery through Fine Balance Imaging is finally up and running and ready to take orders for exceedingly fine quality giclee printed posters of some of your favorite images from Pandamorphosis!

Recap #5 The Case of the Picturesque Panda

Oh that Babette! She thinks she has Inspector Panda wrapped around her dainty little paw. Mr. Wu remains skeptical, while Inspector Panda…well, let’s just say Inspector Panda has his work cut out for him.

Our story continues:

“fuggedabout the bleeping tape!”

Oh that Babette!

Inspector Panda: the bear with the clues…

Stay tuned! There are mysteries to be solved, and cookies to eat. Cuppycakes must factor into this somehow, don’t you think?

Be the Bear!

Day 2 of Inspector Panda Recap

2 Replies

Oh boy, PanDaWriMo (the event formerly known as 31 days of Pandas) is about to begin on December 1st!

Huzzah!

I can now reveal that Bob and Babette’s top-secret mission to meet with another set of international pandas has reached it’s successful conclusion. The dynamic duo paid a visit to Hao Hao and Xing Hui of the Pairi Daiza Zoo in Belgium’s beautiful countryside. You can even follow them on Twitter @XingHuiHaoHao How cool is that? The top secret meeting went well, other than the fact that Babette got a little huffy because she is French, and well, that’s just what Babette does, nes’t pas?

And now, on to the next re-cap of The Case of the Picturesque Panda (see yesterday’s post for the re-cap beginning!) (pretend you are listening to noir detective music intro now)

…and so the story begins…

…of a young panda’s arrival in France, and all that followed…

Why DOES Mr Wu have a piece of tape on his right ear?

Let’s see who stayed awake during art history classes!

Oh boy! this is really getting exciting now! I can hardly wait till PanDaWriMo begins! Huzzah!

Thank Goodness Fabulous Furry Friday isn’t on Monday

…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!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday once again….

“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “

Well!

Good news panda fans, and especially fans of Mr. Wu! Despite being crazy busy with my Kickstarter project (the funding part is done and now the real work begins) I also managed to compile and format all the cartoons for The Book of Wu, the 4th book in The Panda Chronicle series. Wow!

So, in honor of the book being finished and scheduled to appear on Amazon in the next week, I decided that Fabulous Furry Friday would bring you some highlights from the life of Mr. Wu today.

Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?

Woe is Wu!

Huzzah! Hope this little bit of something Wu gets you ready for the weekend! Till next week, when we re-join Inspector panda as he ferrets out the culprit in The Case of the Purloined Highway!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday, Trick or Treat. Huzzah!

6 Replies

Better late than never, is the usual order of the day, and better early than late! Or better to have a full plate of cuppycakes than a measly bowl of granola.

Anyway….

It is the time of year when little pandas dress up and go door to door, begging and threatening to get treats. In today’s classic cartoon, Bob attempts to teach the panda kindergarten the fundamentals of Trick or Treat.

Trick or Trick!!!!!!!

Once again, we predict reality on Fabulous Furry Friday.

It was bound to happen, sooner or later! As you may recall, we launched the idea of a panda clan tartan a full two weeks before the Edinburgh Zoo announced that they had commissioned one.

And now, British Airways has painted one of their jets just like the one that I drew more than 4 years ago, for PandAir Airlines, the only airline run by and for pandas. How do you like them cuppycakes?

bears in the air…

Beware…..

Pandas have a better idea…

notice the stylish design….

please have your tray table in their upright position for take-off…

…and most of all, don’t panic.

see, doesn’t this look just like British Airways’ new paint job?

I rest my case.

You’ll notice the older, less polished style (and very poor image clean-up skills, I might add) of the cartoon, which makes my point, I said it first. Really, all these corporate entities should check with me before they launch these things!

Well, till next week, when we predict the next trend in panda themed promotions,

Be the Bear!
