The Saga Continues!

Leave a reply

Oh my, TFG’s multi-shirted cretin is fresh from his contempt of congress conviction and still is promoting additional insurrectionist activities. Will we ever get any relief from this mob?

Let’s step into the Panda House for a little relief from reality!

Pinky is full of surprises!

I hope everyone is getting their cakes made and presents bought, because as I was reminded the other day, not only is it Mr. Wu’s birthday this Friday, it is also PPJ’s birthday and Pinky’s minions! (aka the triplets!)

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

Party at the Panda House!

No Selfies with Wildlife: Our Annual PSA

I can’t believe we need to remind people not to do this. There is more and more information that invading the personal space of a wild animal is a really bad idea. It can endanger the wild animals, not to mention, they might decide to eat you.

Frank and Mikey have generously agreed to deliver this year’s warning about this dangerous practice.

Do as we say, not as we do!

More to come from our exclusive ZooNooz coverage of the hearings about Mittens Coup attempt! Be there or be the bear!

Pandas like the letter “P”

Sorry for the late posting. I’ve been burning the midnight oil, the dawn coffee, and all the hours in between as I get ready for my painting show in July. where oh where did the time go?

Panda on!

Time to spin the Wayback Wheel and see what turns up!

Leave a reply

Some weeks I have a time to expound upon, and then I look for archived ‘toons that illuminate that theme. Other weeks I have no idea what I’m thinking of and then I just have to spin the wheel and see what pops up.

One thing you can be sure of, it’s likely that Pinky will be involved!

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

Well…no Pinky in that one! let’s try again!

Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!
And what better talk show is there, than Mehitabel Tonite!?
I really had no idea what she was up to.
Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!

Well as Pinky all says, you can never have enough ‘toons about Pinky!

Till next time,

I thought I’d share some of my favorite ‘toons from the Panda House over the years since I started following the pandas…

But First, A Word from our Sponsor!: Buy stuff with Pandas!

Our newest design over on Redbubble features none other than her most Royal Pandaness, Princess Pinky!

Beware the moods of Pinky!

Available on a whole bunch of stuff on Redbubble!

And now, for some of our favorite Panda House ‘toons which might all feature Pinky. we don’t know. Moods, you know?

National Zoo cub makes mom Mei Xiang disappear
oops.
Princess Pinky is fooled by Mei Xiang at the National Zoo
Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
Princess Pinky helps with new years resolutions
You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….
deleted footage from press conference
Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

Okay, Okay… I guess there are a couple OTHER pandas living at the DC Panda House!

I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.
The Mommee Security Agency is always watching
I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!

I hope you enjoyed our celebration of the 50th Pandaversary of Pandas at The National Zoo! Keep watching the panda cams and don’t forget us at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire!

The Moods of Pinky

8 Replies

The 50th Pandaversary celebration of all things PANDA would hardly be complete without an examination of every thought that has ever passed through the magnificent brain of the most important panda that ever resided at the Smifsonian National Zoo!

Oh sure, you might think Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were those most important pandas, since they were the first to reside in Washington DC. Or maybe you might think that the well loved Tai Shan (aka #1 son), being the miracle cubby who arrived in 2005, is that most important panda.

But only 1 panda was VOTED an icon in a national campaign by the Smifsonian! Guess who!!!!!

A tip of the tiara to Pinky’s twidder typer for this idea!

Soon to be available on my Redbubble shop as a T-shirt and some other things!

It’s Pandaversary Celebration Weekend!!!!

50 years ago, the Nixon Pandas arrived in Washington DC to great fanfare!

I am only making some of this up

Since that momentous occasion, pandas have participated in many events in our Nation’s Capitol!

March
Whats a protest without pandas?
inauguration
Hey, save some cuppycakes for me!
Memorial day
Don’t be endangered, be dangerous
reality
Do we HAVE to go?

Yes, pandas have become a part of every day life in Washington DC!

What do you say to another 50 years of panda diplomacy?

Pay no attention to those reports of Ling Ling biting one of her keepers! I’m sure it was just a little panda nip!

A Day Without Pandas…Is Not Worth Waking Up For

Let’s see what pops up from the Way Back machine…

“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “
inside Bob's Brain
What’s that stuff getting all over my paws? Oh…it’s frosting!

How about one of Mr. Wu’s stories?

Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?
Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?
“Up in the Air, Junior Pandas…”
Nothing like a snappy graphic to um…solve a problem!
May Day! May Day!
Bet ya didn’t see this coming…or maybe you did.

I hope you enjoyed this story as we celebrate 50 years of pandas at the National Zoo!

Yes, I know that Mr Wu is not an SNZ Panda, but he is related through his mom and Papa Tian Tian, who are half siblings!

The Pandemic really isn’t over is it?

Yesterday one of my pandemic ‘toons popped up in someone’s time line, so I thought I would revisit the pandas experience of the Panda-demic.

It’s nothing that a little cocoa can’t fix!
You can’t get more socially distant than sending everyone to their room!
Is FEMA stealing marshymallows too?
Well, bless her heart!
Here comes Meihem!

There is always excitement in store when Six and Sebben show up. Mei must have been desperate to suggest this. I bet she won’t make that mistake again!

I just sent a check for $500 off to the Whatcom Humane Society, thanks to everyone who ordered a felty support kitty! There are still 6 more available, so check out the Felties Revisited page for information on ordering!

Till Tuesday (when I WILL have a new ‘toon)

This is one of those weeks…

Leave a reply

I’m afraid this is one of those weeks when time got away from me, so there is no new ‘toon today.

But just so you don’t feel left out of panda fun, here are a couple of my favorite ‘toons!

See? I told you it was broken!
Well, it is kind of funny, isn’t it?
Well *bleep* and take your *bleep* and stick it *bleep*!!!!

Hopefully next week will be better and the ‘toons will flow!
