Mei Xiang Gets a Phone Call

It kind of makes sense that it COULD have been the National Zoo Director, as he’s been calling Pinky’s mom a LOT lately. But it wasn’t. So if it isn’t the zoo director calling Mei Xiang, then just who is it?

It’s way, WAY, better than that.

After all, this is now allowed….

This number is unlisted....

This number is unlisted….

Oh my. what has Pinky done now?

Bob Gets Fired

What do you mean conflict of interest? Who started the ZooNooZ show anyway? I think Pinky is behind this! I demand to see my lawyer! And can’t someone get Pinky’s headlines off my post?

Bob gets fired....what is this world coming to?

Bob gets fired….what is this world coming to?

Hmmm….someone may have used that line before….

Vote for Pinky. Do YOU want to explain why you didn't?

Pinky says: Don’t forget to get Pinky swag at Pandyland! Your purchase helps to support my campaign!

I am going to have to do something!

The Great Debate

For those of you in the know, TODAY is the Meihem’s birthday. Huzzah! But. Pinky refused to give up her cartoon today, so Fabulous Furry Friday will host The Salute to Meihem! Be sure to check in on Friday for Pandapalooza X 2!

It was inevitable that Pinky and I would have to have a great debate, live on the Mehitabel Tonite!!! show. I think she is getting some unfair advantage, what with being on magazine covers and newspaper stories all over the place. It’s time to even the score!

What about us pandas who have been around for a while? Are you going to throw us over for each new furry face that comes along? And Pinky has hacked into my computer AGAIN and I can’t get her graphics off of my headline.

Can anyone stop this pandapocalyptic menace?

Don't mess with Pinky.

Don’t mess with Pinky. Or her minions.

Stay tuned folks! Politics is a bear!

Shark Week at Pinky’s Pond

This past week was Shark Week on TV. It’s some big anniversary year for the movie Jaws, the movie that caused more loads of laundry than…oh…never mind. I don’t even watch TV, but you can’t step foot into the inter webs and not be bombarded with posts about Shark Week.

So be it.

Anyway…Princess Pinky’s minions are celebrating Shark Week in their own unique and adorable way. So…um… does anyone know if there are actually strap on shark fins available for smart-ass swimmers? Just wondering.

It's Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!

It’s Shark Week at the panda kindergarten! Roar!!!!

Sharks have got nothing on Pinky, who is still hacking into my computer and messing up my headline graphics.

Sigh. This cannot continue.

Watch some more panda videos

I think I really need to watch some more panda videos. I am completely stressed out over this hacking business. I thought I had gotten the overlay bug out of my system, but now it is back again. How am I supposed to run for president using MY blog as a platform, if Pinky is over-riding everything from her command center?

Thanks a lot, Leslie. I think you gave Pinky this idea.

Thanks a lot, Leslie. I think you gave Pinky this idea.

Pinky wanted to thank her dear friend Leslie for contributing to Pinky’s campaign with purchases of Pandyland swag from the Committee to Elect Pinky Headquarters. Leslie thoughtfully photographed the actual goodies here, so you could see what they really look like!

Huzzah! Won't your coffee taste better in a Vote 4 Pinky mug?

 Hey! Rand Paul has a store with all his merchandise to raise campaign funds, why can’t Pinky?

Now, I just need to get Pinky’s mother on the phone to discuss her daughters escapades with my computer, but every time I call it goes to voice mail and she is NOT returning my calls.

Sigh.

Pinky has a plan

Pinky has a plan, and you can be sure that it will be something that gives her mother heartburn. What can I say? Pinky marches to the beat of her own salsa band, and nothing you or I (or her mother) say will make her toe the line.

Pandas. You gotta love ’em!

There were no tigers involved in this plan, so it must be okay, right?

I think I got the bug out of my computer that was altering my header graphics. Now we shall see if I have my firewall defenses adequately beefed up so that Pinky can’t get back in and change things!

I wonder what the minions’ mother thinks of Pinky’s influence on her children? Oh well, not my concern! Tra la, tra la!

Youthful Indiscretions, Part 2

All I can say is, at least Mei Xiang did not star in one of those…um…you know….educational movies for pandas. If you get my drift. This was not one of those youthful indiscretions.

But leave it to Pinky. As we learned in a previous post, The panda cam at the National Zoo in Washington DC, takes up 60% of the entire Smithsonian bandwidth. Which, is as it should be.

Just saying, you know?

We can definitely use this in Pinky's campaign....

We can definitely use this in Pinky’s campaign….

Meanwhile, we are keeping a close eye on Mei Xiang, as she relaxes in her secluded panda den. Is there going to be another cub in DC this year? Or what if there are two? Will Pinky be able to cope with the distraction from her campaign?

Stay tuned!

Youthful Indiscretions

When I first started watching and drawing pandas, people would send me pictures of pandas from the internet, as well as any video that featured an adorable panda. Okay, I think all pandas are adorable, even muddy messy ones.

But one video made the rounds more often than any other. Recently, an interesting discovery was made by the good folks at Pandas International, because, enquiring minds wanted to know!

What could this youthful Indiscretion be?

Of course, my other favorite panda video is this one.  I really want that job.

Stay tuned to learn of Mei Xiang’s secret, early film career!

Panda Commerce news!
I just added several new designs to my Pandyland Store on Cafe Press! Included are items for Princess Pinky’s Presidential Campaign, as well as a mug celebrating the Panda Kindergarten! Here are the new designs, for bumper stickers, t-shirts and sweat shirts, and magnets. 10% of the profits from June sales will go to Pinky’s campaign…um…I mean Enrichment Fund at the NZ. Many of her toys are funded by donations from her loving fans, so this is a chance to put panda satire to work for Pinky. Here are the new designs:

Nobody expects the Panda Kindergarten!

Declare your support for Pinky!

Sorry, You Are Not on the List.

Sometimes inspiration hits when you are least expecting it, and in today’s cartoon, I was inspired to give the 2013 born triplets (now heretofore in these pages to be known collectively as “the minions”) a very important job as part of Pinky’s campaign team.

If you’d like to see Pinky, you need to be on the list.

And Mommee, sorry, you are not on the list.

Minion security: you can't be too careful.

Minion security: you can’t be too careful.

I think maybe the little girl minion is still too star struck by Princess Pinky to really be taking her job seriously, but hey, who isn’t? Pinky Money, anyone?

Meanwhile, I am starting to think about the next book in the Panda Chronicle series….Huzzah! Stay tuned.

I’m Just Drawn That Way

Poor, poor, adorable little Pinky. She is so misunderstood. What is a small panda with visions of grandeur to do, but to run for president? And what can that poor panda do when her mommee thwarts her at every turn?

As Pinky likes to remind me, I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.

Mei Xiang and the Zoo Director have gotten their panties in a knot, it seems.

Ha ha! Sorree, mommee.
