I can’t look.
Will someone tell me when the scary part is over?
Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!
The panda kindergarten MUST be under a spell from the Wicked Witch, don’t you think?
Tune in Tomorrow!
Beig the Bear,

The Wizard of Wu is in it’s final week and it’s all Wu all the time, and excitement doesn’t begin to cover it! Oh my ears and whiskers, things are getting exciting here at The Panda Chronicles!
The wicked witch has sent her hench-pandas out to capture Wu, so that she can get the magical bunny slippers. I did promise there would be NO flying monkeys, but I didn’t promise there would be no monkey business!
Ride you pandas! Ride! An evil wind breaks!
Don’t move from your computer because another episode of the Wizard of Wu will be here tomorrow! Stay right there! We’re (and by “we” I mean the NSA) watching.
Be the Bear!

Oh dear, new wardrobes, new names, what’s a panda to do? Lun Lun claims that she knew all along, and I, for one believe her. (Never argue with a full grown mama panda!)
Editor’s Note: after consultation with several fans and noted pandologists, it has been determined that changing the twinkies on screen names here could cause grave psychological damage to their personalities. Therefore, since Bert and Ernie could be nicknames for Roberta and Ernestine, I have decided to let their cartoon identities stand. Plus then I don’t have to go in and change their names on the paper dolls. Just ignore the monograms on todays uniforms. These were hand me downs from older pandas. (Why changing their name would be more traumatic than changing their gender, is a mystery for the pandologists.)
“I couldn’t understand why those silly humans didn’t see it all along,” said Lun Lun in a recent ZooNooz interview. “Anyone could see how my sweet Po had my beautiful fluffy cheeks! The twins are too young to be traumatized by the misidentification, but I worry about my darling Po in her new life in China. Some girls can be so mean.”

Ready for panda kindergarten!
Stay tuned for future panda satire on the subject of incorrect gender identification amongst pandas! Fun!
Meanwhile, may we make a helpful suggestion to aid your holiday shopping? The Panda Chronicle’s three books are all available on Amazon (not to mention Moonraker Books in Langley!) Huzzah!
Back to the drawing board! Panda satire waits for no bear.

The recent news of not one but THREE “gender re-classifications” has us so excited at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire! Ideas are rampaging through our skulls at a breakneck pace. We can hardly write one idea down before another one springs to mind. We plan to spread them out over the next month or two, as we have much seasonally relevant material already planned. Just hold that thought….
Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.
And we did not forget another outfit for Princess Pinky! Perish the thought.
Just the thing for family parties!
Hope everyone is having a restful weekend. Unless of course you are working, shopping, or keeping up on the latest panda world scandals! Huzzah!

Well.
You knew I was going to have to come up with a response to the astounding news out of Zoo Atlanta yesterday morning, didn’t you? What? You haven’t heard?
Well.
It turns out that not one, not two, but THREE pandas born at Zoo Atlanta had gender misidentifications. Actually, that’s really four, since first born Atlanta panda Mei Lan was thought to be female until reaching the age of five when they discovered: wait no! it’s a boy.
Now, it turns out that not only the twinkies are girls instead of the “absolute, no mistake here” gender identification as boys, but also, three year old Po is female as well. I always thought that Po was a particularly pretty panda, but really, we all kind of look alike, so what do I know? Needless to say, it was quite the chatty day in the pandasphere!
We would like to thank Zoo Atlanta for providing us with new material for WEEKS to come!
Meanwhile did any of them think about ME and all the work I would have to do, new names for Bert and Ernie, (front runners: Thelma and Louise), new wardrobes, going back and drawing eyelashes on the previous drawings of the twins…it’s not like I don’t have enough to do already! Zoo officials have no idea how time consuming panda satire is!
If you missed the earlier “expose`” about the gender reassigning of Mei Lan, here it is: Huzzah!
Well, we do all look alike.
Love the hat!
Tomorrow! a new outfit for Princess Pinky! (at last!)
Be the Bear,

Oh, they are back in the soup now! And on Friday the 13th to boot!
But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!
I have NO idea how they are going to get out of this dilemma! (OK, not really, but I’m trying to build some dramatic tension here!)
And since it is Fabulous Furry Friday (the 13th!!!!) here are some encore presentations of some seasonal pandas!
Day 17…Naughty or Nice? you decide!
‘Tis the Season!
Babette de Panda, celebrating the season at Radio City Music Hall, in the company of her good friend Frances A….
…which serves as a reminder of how much fun YOU can have with panda paper dolls! (And a kind of cheesy reminder that there will be more outfits for Princess Pinky and the Twins coming up this weekend! Huzzah!
A big pandy thanks to all of you who have bought books this month, a portion of which will be sent to Pandas International (huzzah!) to support actual panda stuff! But don’t stop now!

Another big pandy thanks to all who have supported Whidbey Life Magizine’s print project on Indiegogo. You guys are the bears!

Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?
Oh my! whatever will happen next? Another episode of The Wizard of Wu is coming up tomorrow! Huzzah! and maybe a bonus encore presentation ‘toon or two as well. But don’t put away that laptop for the weekend. 31 days of Pandas is serious about bring you pandas every day this month.

…Good thing the action has become slightly less scary, at least for a little bit. Fans of Mr Wu’s latest adventure will be happy to know (well, maybe not…maybe you LIKE waiting a whole week between episodes) that we will be featuring Mr. Wu’s adventure on most weekdays, until it’s over, in order to bring you another short holiday theme Wu-self-story.
Huzzah!
Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!
And just another gentle reminder to check out Whidbey Life Magazine’s Indiegogo project! In the meantime, keep being the bear! More Wu-venture this week!

You know how when you get a DVD these days, it has all these “special features” like interviews, “the making of…” blooper reels…well, we wanted to have a bunch of that stuff too. And so, 31 Days of Pandas is pleased to bring you….
Stay tuned later this month for the outtakes and blooper reel!
Pandas will NEVER get the better of Mehitabel!
And if you’re still on the fence about what to get Aunt Mildred and Uncle Larry, (not to mention your brother in law) for Christmas, Kwanzaa or Hanukkah, there’s still time to order The Panda Chronicles Book 1, 2, or 3! Keep Panda Satire alive and well by buying our books!

Greetings Panda fans. Many (if not all) of you know that in addition to being the leading practitioner of Panda Satire in the world (Hey! Until I hear different, I’m claiming it!) I’m also a painter, who shows and sells her work. I live in a wonderful little corner of the world, which besides abounding in natural beauty, has more artists, musicians, writers, actors, chefs and artisanal farmers than you can shake a stick at. (Shaking only, no hitting please.) A little over a year ago, some dedicated, hard working folks thought it would be a really good idea to have an information resource that benefitted both the creative types that live and work here, but also anyone who wanted one publication in which to read about all the amazing stuff that’s going on around here.
And so, Whidbey Life Magazine was born, an online resource for all the arts and culture on Whidbey Island.! There are a small band of us who write for the magazine, but the magazine is mostly fueled by the hard work of its founders, Jan Shannon and Sue Taves, not to mention our long suffering, cat herding editor, Patricia Duff. So now, they would like to add a twice yearly print magazine to the mix, so as to reach even more people who want to know what all the fuss is about on Whidbey Island. They have started an Indiegogo campaign to make that a reality.
Of course, the pandas wanted to…um…help:
Don’t believe EVERYTHING the panda kindergarten says!
I know that many of you who are reading this might not live here, but I hope you’ll take a little time from your day to see what we are doing here, and maybe even support this project. You can read WLM here and see if we offer something you would enjoy and like to support. And then, check out our Indiegogo project. And…um…a date with George Clooney is NOT one of the perks. Just sayin’.
The panda kindergarten is waiting to take your call.
Be the Bear!
