Pinky is Where??????

This. Is. Really. Too. Much.

Pinky is WHERE??????????

Oh…well, they did say it was okay now to take selfies in the White House.

The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?

The parents of daughters never have a really easy time of it, do they?

And one of Pinky’s fan’s who wanted to remain anonymous, sent us this photo that they obtained by following Pinky herself, as Pinky toured the White House with her minions.   Measuring for curtains, perhaps? Check with Pinky’s proposed Secretary of Interior Decorating.

Perhaps POTUS is on the phone to Mei Xiang, even as we watch.

065 Pinky in the Oval Office

Oh Dear… What has Pinky Done now? Are you allowed in there, honey? Where’s your mommee?
“Dis room would look so much bedder in pink”

Where, indeed.

Editor’s Note: We would like to say in advance, that if there are any technical difficulties in tomorrow night’s Republican Debates, that neither Pinky, nor the Panda Kindergarten had anything to do with them. Or the minions. Just saying.

 

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?

*F.F.F. Salutes The Wee Wu Self!*

*Fabulous Furry Friday salutes the Wee Wu Self! (*Thank you and a cuppycake to Stevi G. for coining that descriptive phrase about the wu self! It’s perfect.)

Since recently we saluted the Meihems on the occasion on their second birthday, This week we will salute Mr. Wu, who is no longer two, or at least Mr. Wu, no longer “wee” is now turning three. Really, the poetry police should be here any minute. Should I give you full credit for this rhyme, Stevi?

I will try to find some Wu-toons that have not been rebroadcast lately, but you know I love the Wu self so much, I show his cartoons whenever I can.

Here are a selection from each of Wu’s adventures, which (beware, advertisement coming) can be found in his very own book, The Panda Chronicles Book 4: The Book of Wu. You know you want it!

Mr Wu’s first adventure with the rascally panda kindergarten, saw him sail the high seas in his little donut floaty. Which is pretty funny, because Mr Wu would avoid baths at all costs.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of boo beer!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of boo beer!

And then there was the time Mr. Wu built an airplane (with the help of the panda kindergarten…

Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?

But once safely on the ground (not to mention grounded for life) Mr Wu’s resolve to not get mixed up with the pandy kindy did not last long…

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.

It's a Wonderful Life Parody

This one was a real tear-jerker….

So, now you know, if you don’t have Mr. Wu’s book already, you need it, right? There will be more from Pinky’s presidential campaign next week, but today, let’s celebrate Mr.wu’s Birthday, just a couple of days ago on July 29th!

Mr Wu Goes Rogue

Really, it is getting extremely…um…naughty pandish around here. Princess Pinky is on a rampage, getting on 60 Minutes, being interviewed by Oprah…where will it all end????

And now, Mr Wu, who has always been such a good little panda, at least in comparison to Princess Pinky, is giving unauthorized news reports on ZooNooz. Okay, so Mr. Wu went on a whole bunch of adventures with the panda kindergarten, and all, but now that he’s gotten a good job as Inspector Panda’s assistant, we thought that he would walk the straight and narrow.

Even the real life Mr. Wu has been a bit of a bad boy lately. Taking a page from his brother Yun Zi the destroyer, no doubt!

An election recap from Mr. Wu...

Perhaps Mr. Wu has been hanging out with Pinky just a little too much.

By the way, not only is today Mr wu’s actual Birthday, it is also World Tiger Day! Mehitabel says Huzzah! Here are some bonus tiger cartoons to celebrate the day!

Much better to take a selfie with pandas!

2 Timing Political Consultants

The Meihems have long memories and have definitely not forgotten that little incident a while back, nor have they completely forgiven Pinky for it. So, it is no wonder that they have snuck out the back door of Pinky’s campaign headquarters, formed their own political consultancy (Meihem 2 Timing Political Consultants at your service!) and offered to help Bob with his campaign fundraising.

What could possibly go wrong?

And who is this mysterious ally of whom they speak?

And who is this mysterious ally of whom they speak?

I am happy to say that I have de-Pinkyied my headlines, at least for now. The Pinky is very, very tricky. I must be on my guard.

We have some late breaking news from Pinky’s Committee to elect Pinky President. Personally, I don’t think I should do anything to encourage her further, but her attorneys are telling me that I have to post this. I think that little panda needs to be sent to her room with no internet connection. What do you think?

If I Were a Panda…

If I were a panda…yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yaaaaa….oh wait… I AM a panda!

But earlier this week, Theodore Bikel, the actor who immortalized the role of Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof, died, so I fought it was appropriate that Fabulous Furry Friday have an encore presentation of the cartoons that the role inspired.

Today, I am a Bear…..

Today, you are a bear.

Today, you are a bear.

...if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da-  AAARGH!  I can't stop!!!!!

…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!!

And somewhere, Theodore Bikel is spinning in his grave….

I am not that kind of bear!

Bob has a Dilemma

It’s not fair …the cry of Nihilists everywhere, is being heard in the halls of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, as Bob wanders around, telling anyone who will listen to him, about how he has been replaced by Mr. Wu (Mr. Wu!!!) as co-host for ZooNooz’s flagship news broadcast.

It’s just not fair!

Editor’s note: Late breaking news!!!! We have just learned that Princess Pinky has gotten herself onto the news show, 60 Minutes. Where will all this unfair, free publicity end? We just don’t know!

What to do, what to do….this is a dilemma, no mistake about that!

Perhaps the Meihems can help...

Perhaps the Meihems can help…

Meanwhile, Pinky is still hacking into my computer, but I may have figured out a way to de-Pinky it. Stay tuned!

The light bulb thing still works, doesn’t it? I look very presidential here, don’t you think?

Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda

BTW: We would be very remiss if we did not mention that it is Mama Mei Xiang’s 17th birthday! Huzzah! Now Pinky, could you just be a good little panda for one day and celebrate someone other than Pinky?

 

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!

*F.F.F. Salute to Meihem!

* Fabulous Furry Friday is proud to present our…

Salute to Meihem!!!!!!

Yes, the darling duo turns TWO this weeK, and all things Pinky aside, we are delighted to celebrate the Meihem’s big week! (For those of you who are new to panda watching, the Meihems are the twin cubs of Lun Lun and Yang Yang of the Cublanta Zoo …um I meant Zoo Atlanta…deep in the southern belle state of Georgia.

I remember the day they were born. I was watching the Zoo Atlanta panda cam and Lun Lun was in the den, and wouldn’t you know it a little cub just slid out. of…you know…the cub slidey place, and then not even a half hour later, here comes ANOTHER one! I immediately called one of the panda faithful, knowing she would be watching as well, and we yelled into our phones and jumped around our respective kitchens.

What a day!

The first appearance of the twinkies on The Panda Chronicles

The first appearance of the twinkies on The Panda Chronicles

We started off calling them The Twinkies, but when they got their real names at 100 days, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, we began to call them the Meihems, because when you have more than one panda cub, you are bound to have Meihem!

But of course, Mr Wu had had a whole year of being the center of attention, and he. was. not. pleased at this development.

Mr Wu speaks out!

And then there was the old gender misidentification thing. For the first four months, we thought they were boys…

Well, you didn’t think Pinky would be able to resist showing up in the Meihem’s tribute, did you?

So, once they were determined to be girls, appropriate measures had to be taken!

Time to call in …Inspector panda!

We hope you enjoyed this Tribute to Meihem, and if you would like to read ALL the cartoons about this dynamic duo, be sure to pick up a copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 5: Pandapocalypse NOW, starring the Meihems and Princess Pinky.

Be sure to stay tuned to our tribute to Mr. Wu later this month who turns THREE! Oh yeah, and um… someone else’s birthday is coming up in August… can’t quite remember whose…..

 

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!

Be the…um….Bear,
Bob T. panda
