Let’s just cut to the chase, shall we? They’re not flying monkeys, but they are kind of scary! (NOBODY expects the panda kindergarten!)
But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!
Ride you pandas! Ride!
Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!
Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?
Don’t mess with Princess Pinky!
All well that ends well. Now let’s have some cuppycakes!!!
Panda On!

Hey kids! WE’re back with the next chapters of our beloved holiday classic The Wizard of Wu, brought to you courtesy of…well…ME!!! Join Wu, Mr. Toasty, and the mysterious panda who looks an awful lot like Wu’s older brother, not to mention Wu’s faithful companion, Binky the soccer ball!
That cat is pure evil!
Sorry, no photo bomb from princess Pinky. her mother thought todays cartoon was too scary for her
Who would have thought cuppycakes could be enchanted?
Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!
Stay tuned later this month for the outtakes and blooper reel!
Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?
Panda On!

…that we missed Talk Like a Pirate Day and International Red Panda Day! Really! I go away for two weeks and everything goes to panda poo! (but more about that later!) As the Meihems say, regret is a given! But what better excuse to rerun Mr. Wu’s pirate adventure and a toon or too featuring our reactionary red pandas?
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!
21) Rusty the scuppers, pirate crew…
An explorer’s work is never done.
The penguins save the day!
“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”
Oh those red pandas! They are such characters!
Huzzah, Huzzah! We are taking a little time out from Pinky’s latest adventure story, in order to celebrate the birthday week of one of our favorite (one might say NO 1 Favorite!) young pandas. Xiao Liwu, nicknamed Mr. Wu by his keeper nannies, is the last of Bai Yun’s six cubs. He was born in 2012 and turns five years old and he is still here! (Don’t tell! Maybe they will forget he is still living in Pandiego and not in China!) I have read reports that he will be here until sometime in 2018, but one never knows!
Meanwhile, I thought I would celebrate his birthday week with a brand new Wu ‘toon!
It’s so hard to be cool when you still live with your mom.
Panda on!

(and if you want to see the video that so embarrassed the Wu Self, see it here!) And as Mr. Wu said, “wif all dat measuring, you would fink da wu self would get a tux or somefing.”
Huzzah! It is time for the birthday season of our very own Wu Self, that paragon of pandas, that handsome hunk of hubba hubba, that fabulously furry fuzzbutt…
Ahem… It is hard not to get excited about Mr. Wu. He was the first actual panda that made a name for himself here at The Panda Chronicles and he captured the hearts of people all around the globe, especially after his record breaking well cubby check up video hit the airwaves.
“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”
And I bet you are happy to see that Little Mr. Wu is safe and sound!
“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!
An explorer’s work is never done.
Mister Wu and his new friends.
“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”
Stay tuned for more from Mr. Wu next week, but don’t forget on Sunday we return with the next episode of “Being Endangered is Such a Curse” starring you know who!
Keep being the bear!

So what else is new? Am I really supposed to spend all my days trying to write stories that are all about Pinky all the time? I thought as a writer that I had at least a little bit of free will and discretion about what my stories are about. And really, Pinky, if you think that my stories are making you look bad, you could…oh, I don’t know…maybe behave a little better and not tease your brother so much?
Commence propeller spin…now!
By the way, if you haven’t seen it yet, pop over to the Froggwell Blog and check out my post about creating…um…forgeries of my other favorite bear!
Panda On!!

There are TWO important “days” coming up. No, it’s not Pinky’s birthday again, or even mine for that matter. Saturday, September 17th is International Red Panda Day, and Monday, September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrr! In honor of these days, Fabulous Furry Friday brings you encore presentation ‘toons of Red Pandas and Pirate adventures! Huzzah! I mean… Arrr!
“They’ll never catch me!”
Oh those red pandas! They are such characters!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!
21) Rusty the scuppers, pirate crew…
uh oh!
The penguins save the day!
“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”
Yes, It is the official banner of International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!!
Have a great weekend! Don’t forget, there is still time to enter the drawing to win Toby’s book and swag! But you must visit and comment on THIS POST to have a chance to win! (US addresses only)
Be the Bear,

By the time this goes to press, the new twins of Zoo Atlanta will hopefully be one whole week old. I say hopefully, because as fabulous a mom as Lun Lun is, and as wonderfully dedicated and competent as the whole panda support staff is, baby pandas are incredibly fragile and many things can still go wrong. I’m not trying to be Debby Downer here. These are the facts and Nature is a hard mother sometimes. But today, when the cubs are not even 12 hours old, we in the panda community are rejoicing, and nobody rejoices like a panda!
There’s nothing on earth that I’d rather do….
Mehitabel gets even.
What makes a panda run? Cuppycakes, of course!!!!
What happens in the panda kindergarten, STAYS in the panda kindergarten
Legalize cake today! Prevent illicit cuppycake activities.
One panda’s disaster is another panda’s delight!
Escape! Come with me, little cake, so we can be alone together.
Be sure to tune in on Sunday for a special ‘toon from all the junior pandas of the Panda Chronicles!
Be the Bear!

Phexit – Brexit – what’s the difference? Well, at least at first glance, Brexit did not involve pandas, although……if Scotland proceeds with its intention to consider another vote for independence, England would have no easy access to pandas, as in the Scottish pandas in Edinburgh!!!!
Dis will not stand!
But…ahem…anyway, after setting up last week’s Friday post, I realized I had missed an opportunity to celebrate the Wu Self right on his actual birthday!!!!! Fortunately, according to the International Birthday Season codes and standards, today could STILL be considered Wu’s birthday season, (depending on how you interpret the rules) so along with today’s feature brand new ‘toon, allow me to rectify my grievous omission and add a few classic Wu-toons into today’s post.
Meanwhile, it is not enough that Pinky has pitched a hissy fit over the alleged slight from the Meihems, vis-a-vis their party invitation or lack thereof, but now, she has yet another sinister web with which she tries to ensnare Bubba. Has this panda no boundaries?
Pinky, do you really think that Bubba will fall for this?
And while Bubba is beginning to be a little wary of Pinky’s plans (especially when they concern him or Banky Pig) he is impressed by her clever bending of the societal rules.
And now, for a rousing 4th Birthday tribute to the Wu Self!
“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?” This was my first ‘toon starring Mr. Wu
“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “
An explorer’s work is never done.
It is so hard for a small panda to prevail….
Be the Bear!

What better distraction is there to world events, the 2016 presidential election, and the lack of cake at my house, than BABY PANDA SEASON ??????? Pandas are popping out all over, and while we wait to see if Lun Lun (mom of the Meihems) or Lady MacBear of Edinburgh are going to gift us with bouncing baby pandas, we must be satisfied with reports and pictures of panda kiddies in China and Belgium.
So to celebrate Baby Panda Season, we here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire and Fabulous Furry Friday bring you some of our favorite cartoons about….baby pandas! (What? you thought it was going to be about the gross national product forecasts or the effect on global economies if Britain leaves the EU?)
“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”
Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!
And then just one year later, Meihem ensued!
Oh, those southern Belle pandas!
And then along came PINKY!
Such a little darling! How could her big brother resist spoiling her?
Princess Pinky is drawing a line in the sandbox. Even as a baby, she was a force to be reckoned with.
But then we had no new baby pandas till 10 months ago when Pinky’s little brother Bubba arrived…although that event was a mixed blessing…
PP: um, dis is not going to interrupt my presidential campaign, is it?
One of Mei Xiang’s twin cubs did not survive, and Pinky dealt with the loss as only Pinky can…
Mr Bun has a question, daddee.
I love Pinky’s resilience! But we would not be doing our job here if we did not include one of my favorite baby Bubba ‘toons.
Bubba’s first feature role!
He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!
I hope we have distracted you sufficiently from the trials and turmoil of the real world.
Be the Bear, everyone!
