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.

Ready for panda kindergarten!

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

we are friendly, not ambitious!
I love a good art forgery, don’t you?

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!

Panda Trek 2: The Next Generation
The little gift that keeps on giving!
“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…

Will these two ever get along?
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.)

Bob T bless their hearts Panda

It’s Panda Birthday Season!

It’s panda birthday season for all pandas, but especially for the US born pandas!

And to start out the season, Happy 9th Birthday to the Meihems!!!

Born on July 15th of 2013, more than a month before Pinky, and don’t think they ever let her forget it! Here are some of my favorite ‘toons featuring Bert and Ernie (and probably Pinky, just because!) Can you believe the Meihems and Pinky are about to turn 9?!?!?!?!

This was before we knew that the Meihems and Po were girls!

And then this happened…

There must be cake!

Happy Birthday, Meihems! And a reminder, the book about the real life Meihems written by Beth Bacon and illustrated by yours truly is available for pre-order through Amazon and maybe even your local book store! (Not sure about distribution yet). Order your copy of The Panda Cub Swap today!

Slated for a September release date!

Pand-O-Lympics Finale!

The actual Olympics may have ended weeks ago, but time has no meaning here! Here with the final event, are our favorite pairs of twins, The Meihems and their…um…”differently behaved” younger zizzies, Six and Sebben!

Let the games begin!

We will now bid the Panda-O-Lympics a fond fare the well, for another 2 years. Who will the torch bears be this time? Perhaps Fleur and Snowy? Stay ‘tooned in to find out!

Be the bear!

Don’t forget the felty kitty project! Still 19 kitties available for their forebear homes!

It’s Birthday Month for The Meihems and Mr. Wu!

I thought we’d start out with one of my favorite stories of the Meihems (which, of course, include Miss Pinky Panda!) Inspired by the real life drama that took place concerning a certain bridge between NJ and NY, and involves a certain governor…

WE call it: HIGHWAY GATE!!!

George Washington Bridge lane closure satire.
Princess Pinky Bao Bao…what have you done now?

Time to call in …Inspector panda!
Mei xiang and bao bao try to cover up highway-gate
Inspector Panda is on the job!
“Hello, Bai Yun? this is Lun Lun…about that detective you suggested…”
…of course Boo-mints are pretty good too.

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!
Bao Bao, washington DC cover-up
Oh, Pinky…what have you done?
Howdy, Mr Kitty, kindly tell us where a tired old cowpoke can get a boo beer and a cuppycake.

Oh that Pinky! (Plus you will notice how she managed to hijack this ‘toon series celebrating Meihem Month!)

Toon in this week to see if I actually get any new ‘toons done for this week!

Putting the “Zoo” in “Zoom”!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner, but you can’t have “Zoom Meetings” without the ZOO!

Six and Sebben have gotten their first Panda Scout merit badges!!!

There are so many stories to get to! And I’ve left Frank and Mikey wandering around Alaska, looking for their family. Sigh…I’m sure I’ll track them down…eventually.

Meanwhile, western Washington is experiencing record temperatures! Stay cool, everyone!

Panda on,
Bob T Panda

One more day!

Not only is today the next to last day of my Put a Panda on it 3.0 Kickstarter project, it is also, the 6th birthday of the Meihems! Huzzah! Let there be cake!

Let’s celebrate with some ‘toons featuring the Meihems! (*For a while we thought they were boy pandas, until Pinky poofed them)

The first appearance of the twinkies on The Panda Chronicles

Atlanta twin panda cubs Mei Lun and Mei Huan and older prother Po

Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!

Atlanta Twins have a fight

Sweet dreams, little bears!

Time to call in …Inspector panda!

Last week was Bill Watterson’s birthday! This is my homage to him:

I love a good art forgery, don’t you?

There must be cake!

Just another reminder! If you haven’t already visited our Put a Panda on it 3.0 (Mr. Wu edition!!!) it’s not too late!

Don’t believe EVERYTHING the panda kindergarten says!

Happy Bearday to the Meihems!!!

…And another episode of Pinky in Wonderland, of course! Because it would not be the Meihem’s big day without some attention hogging by Pinky! As a special bonus, I’ll add some of the Meihem/Pinky classic ‘toons to this post, because  I am THAT kind of panda!

But first, let’s have the next episode of Pinky in Wonderland!

We know just how you feel, Pinky. We feel the same.

Now, let’s have a little Meihem!!!

There must be cake!

And who is this mysterious ally of whom they speak?

The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.

Can you believe those Meihems? blaming everything on Pinky?

Happy Birthday Mei Lun and Mei Huan (aka Bert and Ernie in the pages of The Panda Chronicles. Read all about it in Pandapocalypse NOW! Book 5 of the Panda Chronicles!) And if you’re not already following me on Twidder (@PandaChronicle) what are you waiting for?

Meanwhile, You Know Who continues to embarrass us in the UK (which according to him, is known by many names, but most people don’t know that.) I’m surprised the Queen did not give him his tea in a “to go” cup. I don’t know what is going to happen when he meets Poot’n tomorrow, but I can’t imagine it will be good.

Best to keep watching panda videos. I hear they are very relaxing.

Pandas to the People
Bob-not an enemy of the people-T Panda

The moment you’ve all been waiting for…

No, Pinky has not taken her rightful place as Presydent of the Untied States. Nor has Ping Ping learned to speak American Panda. (Ping!!!) No! Today is the day that Six and Sebben get their Panda Scout uniforms!

Huzzah! On with the show!

Cuteness abounds!

Panda On!
It’s Wednesday! gateway to the gateway to the weekend!

Twinkies 2.0

Lun Lun is now the reigning Hero Mom Rock Star of the U.S. pandas, bypassing previous record holder Bai Yun of San Diego by the – some would say nefarious dirty trick- of having not one, but TWO sets of twins, for a seven cubby total lifetime achievement award!  I never got to actually meet the Meihems, Well, we are not going to let that happen again, so I have made plans to meet the Twinkles 2.0 this very month! Stay tuned for a report, but in the meantime…

Here’s how they are preparing to meet their most ardent fans!

Twinkies 2.0

Twinkies 2.0 put on a show!

As you may know (because I’ve been shamelessly promoting it) my new book is out and people are actually buying it! Don’t get left out of the panda fun! Get your copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 7: don’t call mee boo boo! NOW! Thank you for your support!

The seventh book of The Panda Chronicles Series

Panda On!
