PANDALANTA NOOZ!!!!!!!

Nooz has just been received at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, that Zoo Atlanta has just signed a new contract with the Chengdu Panda Base to bring a new pair of pandas to Pandalanta! The new pandas are Ping Ping (not the one I met at Gengda in 2017, but STILL!!!) and Fu Shuang.

I guess it was a good thing I was too tired last night to set up an archive pandapalooza, because now we have a theme for today’s dive into the archives!

We bring you PANDALANTA PANDAS PAST AND (UP TO) THE PRESENT!

One of the early appearances of The Meihems, before Pinky…um…poofed them

Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!

Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.

Of course there was some amount of rivalry between Pinky and the Meihems, but sometimes they cooperated on projects…

And around the time Pinky was getting used to having a little brother, a new set of twins was born in Pandalanta…Let’s have a big Panda Chronicles welcome for Six and Sebben!

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

Huh…apparently Six and Sebben started out as well behaved, but…

Well, bless her heart! Are you sure that’s a good idea, Mei?

Sisters!

Well, that’s about all the Meihem we have time for today, but we’ll probably share some more Pandalanta stories from the Sun Sun/ Yang Yang dynasty next week! (If you know who hasn’t blown up the planet by then.)

The Day You’ve All Been Waiting for!

6 Replies

That’s right! it’s Panda Chronicles Outfit Day for Pinky’s young twins, Four and Five! If the conversations in the private Panda Improv chats is anything to go on, they are going to be an even bigger handful that Pinky herself, or, dare I say their names, Six and Sebben!

I’m sure you’ve been anxiously awaiting what the girls are going to wear, so let’s just get right to it, okay?

What do ya think? I think they are just the thing for the active young cubbies.

The Visit Continues: Greenlandia Part 3

2 Replies

Oh my…I got all caught up in a lost password for another website and forgot I still had to post today’s ‘toon! It’s been a bit of a poo show out there, between non-repentant sex pest criminals and gestapo like tactics on the streets on Minneapolis.

For joy, I am watching figure skaters at the Olympics. What form! What grace! I tried watching some downhill skiing, but it made my knees hurt just watching them, not to mention make me very anxious, especially after Lindsay Von wiped out. Ouch!

Maybe for Thursday, I’ll replay some of the Panda Olympics greatest hits!

Meanwhile…

Till we meet again!

Bob T what do you mean we have to wear skis to go downhill Panda

Hail, Greenlandia!

Josie’s friend Bearanice has come to visit…or is she on a MISSION?!?!?!?!?

What could it possibly be?

Stay ‘tooned in, and maybe we will find out!

What is Mittens Trying to Distract us from Now?

4 Replies

There is so much clownf**kery going on right now, it’s hard to know exactly what Mittens is trying to distract us from. Is he using the ICE invasions and murders in Minneapolis to distract us from making a fool of himself and the USA on the world stage in Davos, or is trying to acquire Greenland by means foul or fouler meant to distract us from whatever incriminating evidence might be in the Epstein files?

It’s all too much of a muchness.

Meanwhile is Bearanice’s sojourn to see Josie — who just happens to live in the nation’s Capitol — an innocent visit from a childhood chum, or is it something much more sinister?

Could Bearanice really be an agent provocateur?

Encore Presentations for the Holidaze!

2 Replies

Between power outages last week, an overwhelming urge to get some deep cleaning and weeding out of stuff done, I have not made any new ‘toons these last two weeks. But the archives are full of holiday favorites, so I am going to share them with you this week and maybe next week, well, we’ll see about next week.

Who can forget the first time Pinky got to play in the snow?

And when the Meihems came to visit…

Or Pinky’s first appearance in the Panda-lympics games?

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!

Well, this next one isn’t particularly winter themed, but it is one of my all time favorites, and Bob IS wearing his winter scarf!

I hope your holiday celebrations are everything you wish them to be. Me? I’ll be home tending to this, that, and the others, and singing along to your favorite holiday song!

‘Toon in Thursday for our annual replay of the 12 days of Crispmoss! I hope everyone is ready to sing along with Pinky!

Sleepy Bears and Power Outages, Oh My!

8 Replies

The best laid plans and all that. For a change I had today’s ‘toon done in plenty of time, but we had a surprise power outage. (a likely story!) At first they estimated it would be back on by 4 PM, which turned to 8PM which turned to 10PM, which ultimately came on at 9:33PM.

Whew!

There was not heavy wind, but something fell somewhere on the lines which took out about 400+ houses in my area.

Well, as Pinky would say, “enough about YOU! Let’s get these pandas rolling!“

I’m sure there will be no trouble in Trenton! Frank, Mikey, and Ping need to get home in time for dinner on Thursday!

It’s Always Hard to go Back to Work After a Shutdown

8 Replies

The PandAir Traffic Controllers are getting back to work, and as usual, there is the possibility that things will not go as previously scheduled! But here we are, with a backstage behind the scenes look into The Panda House, as only The Panda Chronicles can show you!

I’m sure Binky Li is just as excited to get back to work as we are to see him! And I haven’t forgotten that Mikey went off to New Jersey to assume his duties as governor…he WAS elected, wasn’t he? Stay ‘tooned!

The Return Of Frank and Mikey

4 Replies

The bears return to the Panda House, I have returned to my cottage in the 100 acre wood, and returned to the drawing table with a new ‘toon for your enjoyment and a little escapism from reality, which really, really stinks right now.

Yes, Mittens has decided making millions of people suffer and starve is a worthwhile trade off for …what? not having the Epstein files released? Not getting his own way in Congress? Being shown to be a big whiney law breaking baby?

But we are here to bring you all the bears you need to get through the day. By the way, Frank and Mikey are pretty sure that this video is AI and it totally was not one of them.

An interesting thing happened while I was gone (okay, you might not think it was interesting, but I do). Readership appeared to be up while I was gone and not reposting ‘toons, since I always take something of a social media break when I go on the road. A fluke, perhaps? A bunch of Russian bots trying to take over panda satire? Some influential social media personage boosting this website? A couple of bears who think Frank and Mikey are hilarious? Who knows! If you are one of the above and are new to The Panda Chronicles, hop on into the comments and introduce yourself.

And if you haven’t already voted, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE BEFORE YOUR POLLS CLOSE!

Fall Forward; Spring Back!

I am back from my travels and getting back to work, but didn’t quite get a new ‘toon for today, but I have several in the works! I’m hoping to get them done by the end of the week and then be a bit ahead of things. Hahahahahahhaa! We’ll see!

But…wait…what…travels you say? YOU didn’t tell us you were traveling. Well, I tend not to, ya know, announce my house will be empty and all, but I did and I’m back. Also, the feckless cowards that currently run the goobermint did not have the fortitude or spines to stand up to F45 and re-open the goobermint, so we were deprived of our visit to Binky Li and his beloved QB.

Fortunately for my ‘tooning/painting schedule, this weekend is the semi-annual changing of the clocks so it’s a great opportunity to re-run one of everyone’s favorite ‘toons! Also, the original Halloween ‘toon is a perennial favorite!

BTW, this ‘toon is pre-Pinky, but maybe a foreshadowing of Pinky’s outfit and attitude!

I hope you enjoyed the recent Encore Presentations of A Halloween Carol and the Wizard of Wu! If you missed them, you could go back a couple weeks and see them.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! Important elections are happening next week, especially in Virginia and New Jersey! Even less important seeming elections are happening everywhere. We have an important school board election here, and you might too.

Voting is our right and our responsibility! Use it or lose it!
