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.)

Pinky Security!

Winning through procrastination!

Taylor Swift won the Superb Owl! Because I am a football genius! We watched the replay of the last quarter (or is it an inning?) and the overtime, and mostly were all yelling “what are they doing? What’s going on? OW! That had to hurt!

Meanwhile, Mittens is going around saying all kinds of crazy sh*t and we are all living in the age of anxiety! As Bikkie says, “It’s all too muchie!

I managed to procrastinate to miss my 2nd ‘toon of the week last week. Will I do better this week? Who knows!

Anyway, Pinky has a new security team!

From here on, if I don’t have a new ‘toon to post, I’ll share something relevant from the archives!

Six and Sebben Find a Purpose

In case you were wondering, Six and Sebben turned sebben…um…I mean seven this year on Sunday. I’m going to put together a little retrospective for them over at the Substack, maybe around Wednesday…

Anyway, due to recent events taking place down in Pandalanta, they decided to give Pinky back her suite as they have VERY IMPORTANT things to do!

I’m sure Six and Sebben will be a HUGE help to D.A. Fani Willis!

Bob T Is not an un-indicted co-conspirator Panda

Six and Sebben are IN DA HOUSE!

You know that scary part of the movie when the main character realizes the monster/villain/creepy supernatural being is in the house?

Well this is when that happens!!!!

Hopefully by next week I’ll be back on my regular schedule. (if there are no more wind storms where the power goes out for day)

Bob T keeping my fingers crossed for Democratic control of Congress Panda

Well, Bless Their Hearts!

Six and Sebben are on their way! Beware! Beware!

I realize it has been a bit of time since the last installment of Life in the Panda House, but there were those Fat Bear Week scandals to address, and then the whole “the Deep State is making hurricanes hit GOP states” thingie.

But now we’re back on track…for this week, anyway.

Is it my imagination or are Six and Sebben getting more poorly behaved, bless their hearts?

Don’t forget to check out my Substack Nooz-letter! You can read this year’s annual Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu!

Hold on to your Bootini! It’s Six and Sebben’s BIRTHDAY!!!

Technically speaking, Saturday September 3rd is their birthday and believe it or don’t, they are turning 6! How is this possible? (Lun Lun: Tell me about it, bless their hearts!)

So, without further ado (or any thoughts about just where the documents that went in those empty top secret folders are…) let’s dive into the archives for the Best (ha ha) of Six and Sebben!

Twinkies 2.0
Twinkies 2.0 put on a show!
Hey! What are you two doing up on top of the ski jump?
Four pandas are better than two.
I don’t think this crew of minions is going to be quite as devoted as her last ones.
Who will win? Six and Sebben battle it out on the track!
What WAS that stuff Six dumped in front of Sebben’s car?
That’s one heck of a lot of ear wax!!!
Well, bless her heart!

I bet this was the last time it was Aunty Mei’s idea for Six and Sebben to visit the DC panda house!

I hope you enjoyed this round up of ‘toons featuring Six and Sebben! we are lucky to still have them in Pandalanta this long. Or maybe China kept saying, “Um, the number you have reached is not in service…please send different pandas if you think you have reached this number in error.”

Bob T I definitely did not take those classified documents out of those folders Panda

How Can We Miss You If You Won’t Go Away?

Here we are, almost two years into Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s 1st term in office, and the news is still Mittens Mittens Mittens. I can only hope that indictments are on the horizon, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

But meanwhile, here is a little good NooZ!

The book illustrated by yours truly, and written by author Beth Bacon officially hits the stands next week! One of the things that helps get books seen and read (besides buying it) is requesting that your local library buy it.

Most library websites have a page where you can request them to purchase a book for their collection. Here is the information you need to make a request:

ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1592111645

And here is a handy short link:

And in additional exciting nooz, the book has already won one of the numerous minor awards that are a regular thing in the children’s book world. The book has won the Mom’s Choice Award, which means we get to display the nifty little badge on the upper right corner (looks nice with the blue, don’t you think?)

You can also request that your favorite book store order it, if you don’t want to give more $$ to Amazon. Always buy the book with the cheerful baby panda on the cover saying “hi hi hi hi!”

Here’s today’s ‘toon. I promise I’ll get back to our favorite pandas next week!

This Saturday is the birthday of Six and Sebben, so I guess we’ll have to let them on the set of the Panda Chronicles for the Sunday Funday Archive ‘toon episode. Hold onto your wallets and your cuppycakes. and mebbee tell them the Panda Swap book is about them.

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!

The Pand-O-Lympics Continue!

This ‘toon (22oon) is coming to you at 2:22 on 2/22/22 (or for you folks not in the US: 22/2/22) Just in case you care about these kind of numerical occurrences…

Anyway…

Six and Sebben hit the slopes! (Not to mention each other!)

I heard they might also participate in the four panda bobsled event with their sisters, the Meihems!

I hope you are panda-ing on!

It’s 31 Days of Pandas EVE!!!

Before we fully dive into 31 Days of Pandas, we have a couple more episodes of Bears of the Baskervilles! I’m going to run them today (Tuesday) and then tomorrow (Day 1 of 31 Days of Pandas) and then we will go into our 31 Days of Pandas programming, while I figure out…um…I mean FINISH Bears of the Baskervilles. Then I will do a full recap of B of the B towards the end of the month, so it’s not too confusing as I cut in and out of other stories.

Because after 12 years of doing The Panda Chronicles, I have more than a couple holiday stories!

We have many new readers, and those who have been around for lots of this panda journey enjoy seeing them again!

So, here we go with episode 9 of …

Bears of the Baskervilles!!!!

I bet you knew that it was going to be Six and Sebben!

Be sure to ‘toon in tomorrow for ANOTHER episode, and day 1 of 31 Days of Pandas!

Bethe Bear!
