Kitty Sue and the Three Pandas

4 Replies

Once upon a time, three pandas lived a quiet life in the forest…

This story seems a little, but not entirely, familiar!

What a perfectly charming cottage! I wonder who lives there…

In a cabin in the woods…

These guys are so full of themselves!

unhand…um…unpaw that cuppycake!

…and she ate the just right cuppycake all up!

unauthorized search and seizure is SOOOO tiring!

UNHAND MR. BUN THIS INSTANT!

Is this episode exciting? you bet it is!

The discovery of the terrible crime in the pandas’ house…

And now, for some alternative facts!

Pandas are very misunderstood, in so many ways….

What a lovely day for the 3 pandas to relax at home!

(In case you were confused about the ending, in the words of Dee Martin Wintle: They ate Kitty Sue!!!!!)

Happy Solstice, everyone, no matter which hemisphere you’re in!

…FREEDOM GAS?????

Ahem…You Know Who just officially “launched” his reelection campaign, although how you can tell it from his business as usual, I just don’t know. Mr. Badger suggested that I not listen to the news any more, so that my blood pressure doesn’t shoot through the roof, and I don’t have nightmares about the concentration camps at the border.

But if I did that, I wouldn’t have heard this story to make fun of (because we DO need an extra dose of humor in our lives, especially at times like this!)

What’s that smell? Could it be…The smell of FREEDOM??

You gotta STOP Hey! What’s that sound…

I SWEAR I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP!!!!

The end of something wonderful…

2 Replies

Did I scare you? I didn’t mean it was the end of The Panda Chronicles or anything like that. I meant that it is the end of boo shoot season, the favorite season of pandas everywhere. I read that Zoo Atlanta had announced the end of the season, when the wonderful fresh bamboo shoots were no longer available.

I imagined myself to be a fly on the wall of Six and Sebben’s hammock room…

Let’s listen in, shall we?

Will these two ever get along?

Get ready for Mr. Wu!

2 Replies

In about a week and a half, I will hopefully be ready to launch another Kickstarter project! This time it is all about the Wu Self and of course, the pandy kindy! If you missed your chance to get Ping Ping and Bubba’s pins, don’t despair! I have more pins available! Those who ordered through my Kickstarter project are already starting to receive their pins! It makes me happy to think of Bubba and Ping hopping out of the envelope and racing around your houses. They’ll be hungry, so be sure to have some cuppycakes on hand!

But now, let’s get on with the Wu self! Huzzah!

And I bet you are happy to see that Little Mr. Wu is safe and sound!

“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “

An explorer’s work is never done.

“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”

I really love this one of Mr. wu getting yelled at by Bai Yun . 🙂

We’re in for it now, Binky!

Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?

If “trouble” ever had a proper name, that name is Babette de Panda…

He who laughs last, laughs…um…last.

Of course, these stories and more are all in Book 4 of the Panda Chronicles, The Book of Wu!

Pinky is at it again!

10 Replies

Back when I was freshly out of college, I had moved up to Western MA, and worked in a variety of restaurants, while trying to keep painting. The split shift I usually worked, didn’t leave a lot of time for painting on work days, so I fell into watching soap operas during my several off hours. The Young and the Restless was one show I remember.

But in Pinky’s case, it should be The Young and the Relentless!

Watch out, Bubba! Pinky is on the loose!

Bubba and Ping pins should be arriving soon! If you missed an opportunity, send me a message or comment!

It’s Sunday Funday Again! Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten!

2 Replies

I’m all ready to send more panda goodness out into the world on Tuesday! The lists have been checked (multiple times) forms for overseas packages filled out, packages labeled and sealed! Summer feels like it is already here, in the great Northwest, which makes me want to go outside!

The panda kindergarten is getting ready for summer vacation and the pandas who are graduating from the Putting Pandas to Work program are prepared to take their new positions!

Let’s take the wayback machine to see what the panda kindergarten has gotten up to over the years….

Trick or Trick!!!!!!!

The panda Kindergarten in the panda clan tartan

This is going to have to be a patch at some point!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

The panda kindergaten knows where you live.

Nothing like a bit of the great outdoors to straighten up the panda kindergarten.

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

The cake abides….

Panda On!

Huzzah! Time for another episode of Bears Behind the Wheel!

4 Replies

Oh boy, oh boy! It’s time for another episode of Bears Behind the Wheel, starring your favorite grizzly bears, Frank and Mikey! Several attentive readers alerted us to this story about a vacationing family in Tennessee, and of course we were powerless to resist the urge to write a new ‘toon (or two) about it!

I mean who can resist stories about BEARS?!?!?!?!

The worst thing is the bears always reset the radio preset buttons and change the seat position!

Stay tuned for the second episode of Bears Behind the Wheel, coming next Tuesday! (Of course we always make you wait for the really good parts!)

Panda on!

The panda is political…

8 Replies

Every once in a while, someone will send me a message or comment saying that they can no longer read my ‘toons because “it’s just too upsetting, how political they have become.” I try to take a deep breath and calmly explain the history of cartoons (political), the rights of the artist to determine the content and style of our own work, and then we get to pandas….

And I have to remind/inform/exclaim that pandas are the most political animal, and most politically used animal in existence. Panda loans (and before them gifts of pandas) are used to curry favor, or reward the recipient. It’s really a pretty simple concept. You are nice to us? We will let you have a couple of pandas. Oh, but all the kids are ours, and that will be $1M a year to rent them, bamboo and cuppycakes not included.

But could pandas be up to something more sinister?

Bwahahahaha!

BTW: “President” Mittens is visiting the UK again. I hope he behaves himself this time!

Yep, that old Mittens…he’s SUCH a charmer!

What’s a Sunday for, if not for Pandas?

I just received an email yesterday, with pictures of the Bubba and Ping pins, which have just landed at Pin Game Strong. I’ll have them in my hot liddle paws by the end of next week, and then packaged and off to YOU, the following week! Read on to see the pictures they sent me of the pins!

But meanwhile, since this is Bubba’s turn at fame (settle down, Pinky!) …(oh and don’t forget Ping!) It only seems fair that we feature some of Bubba’s ‘toons from the archive this week!

Get your bowl of frosting, sit back, and enjoy the show. We’ll head back to the fight for Democracy tomorrow!

He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!

Feed me, Mama!

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

What the well dressed panda cub is wearing this season!

I didn’t THINK that Pinky knew the “share” word.

See? I told you it was broken!

Maybe Bubba is having a Halloween SEASON! Did you ever think of THAT, Pinky?

Aw, Pinky…Bubba loves you!

And because you’ve been so supportive (not to mention patient…)

The Bubba and his friends patch!

yes! This is the actual pin!

Don’t forget Ping Ping!…Ping!

Panda on!

PS: Did you miss our Kickstarter? Do you mebbee want some pins and patches? Stay tuned! There will be opportunities to catch up in the next round of pins later this month!
