Pinky in Wonderland 2 and then some….

But first, here is Episode 2 of Pinky in Wonderland!!!!

Pinky: mommee is making jokes again!

So…here’s my idea…

You might remember last year when I did a fund raiser promotion to raise money for the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, by giving away some panda satire stuff. I’d like to do another fundraiser to help families at the border, who are facing arrest, detention, and the loss of their children.

But I need to do it a little differently this time. I won’t bore you (or lay out any guilt trips) with the state of my finances, but lets just say pickings have been a little slim. An artists life can be precarious and that is just a fact.

So….

In Friday’s post, I shared 6 classic toons from the beginnings of The Panda Chronicles, including the classic Cake Panda (my personal favorite)

let there be cake!

So here’s the deal:

I would like to make the original framed ‘toons available for purchase at the regular price of $500, including US shipping. (an extra $50 for non-US addresses)
2. Of this $200 should be sent directly to the children’s border relief charity of your choice.
3. Once you have done this, email me at yourbrainonpandas@gmail.com proof of charitable contribution, along with your mailing address. Then you can deposit the additional $300 to my PayPal account (this covers shipping, framing, and some support for panda satire!)
4. I will then pack and mail your original ‘toon to you.

Remember, there is only one of each as these are the originals. If you would like to participate, contact me via the contact form so that I can reserve your original ‘toon for you. I will update availability during the week. In the event that I am away from my email (it does happen!) I will respond in order of email receipt. Use Friday June 22nd post to see the available ‘toons.

And if this is beyond your current financial situation right now, I urge you to make whatever donation you can to one of the organizations helping people at the border, and also to show up at the closest March to you on Saturday June 30th 2018. In the meantime, be kind, be kind, be kind. Speak out against injustice. It’s the panda way.

Oh my…I’m running on empty here, as I’m sure many of you are too. I have some ideas about raising some money to help the efforts at the border to help these kids and parents who have been forcibly separated, but it’s going to have to wait till our Sunday post.

Meanwhile, we do need a little humor to get us through this, so here it is:

let there be cake!

Or how about some cuppycakes?

Panda middle school!

2009 panda kindergarten class

THIS is your brain on pandas. Any questions?

Here come the pandas!

Reports of possible cubby activity in DC have been coming in to my Twidder and Fezbook feeds. Let’s hope no one tells ICE or the Predator in Chief.

The Meihems Will Not Take This Lying Down

“No good can come of allowing other pandas to have opinions”

~Princess Pinky in her recent book: World Domination the Princess Pinky Way

Pinky might be of the opinion that the Meihems have a unfair advantage, what with being twins and more than a month older than Pinky. She could possibly have a point, because from the beginning, they have given as good as they’ve gotten, at least when it comes to Pinky’s shenanigans.

So is it any surprise that they have a response to Pinky’s most recent accusations?

I didn’t think so either!

Pinky: “if i want you to have an opinion, i’ll give it to you!”

A hearty welcome back to pandas fans who once were lost, but now have found their way back to the panda kindergarten, along with new readers who have found us for the first time!

Stay tuned for the premiere episode of our latest retold (panda) tales extravaganza starting this Wednesday, coming to an internet cafe near you! It’s a little story we are calling, Pinky in Wonderland! There will probably be a few breaks during the story as we catch up with our reading in the Lewis Carroll original! It’s been a while since I last read it so… also some other pandas were anxious to share their stories, including Zhen Zhen’s big adventure tale (based on a true story!) and the reveal of Bebe Maurice’s new outfit and chosen interest!

Stay right in your seat! You don’t want to miss a single frame!

Don’t You Be Talking Smack About Unka Justin!

Dis. Will. Not. STAND!!!!!!!!!

Nobody, but nobody gets to talk smack about Unka Justin! And so, Fabulous Furry Friday revisits the Canadian Pandas, because we LOVE Unka Justin! Panda on, good buddies to the north!

Oh Panada, Oh Panada, how tasty are your maple leaves….

What do you mean you left a note saying they are at my house?

Bubba is having so much fun with his new friends!

Hey! Where did Bubba and Mr. Bun go?

Are you SURE you wouldn’t like to vote for Bob?

There may be political concussions!

And don’t we all feel this way when we think about President Mittens?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

If you thought things were already crazy, I have a feeling we haven’t seen anything yet. Hold on to your cuppycakes!

Be the Bear!

The News Is Just Too Newsy Today

I mean, if we are going to have world domination by a megalomaniac, it should be…

Pinky: i keep telling ebbryone you should have voted for me!

I mean, really…this kind of self serving rhetoric is kind of funny when a small, cartoon panda says it. The (Supposed) leader of the Free World? Um…not so much. I mean, you’d almost think You Know Who was getting his talking points from Pinky. I really don’t want to think about that.

Somebody, can’t we please just Panda On?
Bob T Panda

I guess we are going to have to feature our pandas to the north again on Fabulous Furry Friday to make sure Canada knows that sensible people still love them. (And would move there if we could!)

Bubba has the right idea…

Be afraid! be very afraid!

It’s really hard not to be. This very week You Know Who dissed Canada and Unka Justin (I mean really???? As If!!!) and after he had such a schmoopy meeting with France’s Macron just a few weeks ago. Allegedly, he needs to ~~go play a few rounds of golf at an exclusive golf club~~ prepare for his meeting with N Korea in Singapore. Auntie Loosilly, lock up the silverware and hide the pandas!

So how are the DC pandas preparing for whatever comes next?

Move over Ping! I’m coming in too!

Tune in again on Wednesday as Pinky gives her new viewpoint on ZooNooZ! and while you’re at it, buy some books!

Panda On!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

Instead of a news dump, let’s have a panda dump!

Um…that did not come out exactly right. But while I have your attention, this is as good a time as any, to remind you that it can be Fabulous Furry Friday (Gateway to the weekend!) EVERY DAY at your house!

Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?

How? You may ask! How can every day be a festival of pandas in my very own house? Do I need to stock up on cuppycakes? Can I stay in my pajamas? Pandas in my pajamas! What could be better? Remember, buying my books helps to keep the panda satire coming your way!

Yes, it’s time for Mei Watch, once again!

Yes, we are now officially on Mei Watch. A recent hormonal check by the zoo panda keepers revealed that she is showing an elevated hormone level, which means that either she will actually have a cubbie, or she is faking it for the extra cuppycakes. Time will tell! This could be the last cubbie in the US for a while, as Bai Yun and Lun Lun have both retired and are enjoying a well earned rest.

Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?

You can see while Mei Xiang might be contemplating a calmer, more peaceful life.

If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.

And speaking of keeping me in ink and paper, (What? Who was talking about that?) Did you know that my original cartoons are available for you to own? Yes they are! As long as they are already published in one of my books, they are ready to frame and purchase and come live with you! They come complete with all the ink splotches (not that many) and pencil smudges(only a few). Just send me a message via the Contact Us page and let me know which cartoon you are interested in, and I will frame and ship to you! Huzzah! (Extra charges for international shipping)

Mei Xiang and the Zoo Director have gotten their panties in a knot, it seems.

Mei puts her paw down…

I don’t think Mei is buying the homework thing.

What a trip down Mei’s Mommee Memory lane! Would it be any wonder if she declines to have a cubby this year? What if she has twins? What if they are both like Pinky?????

Thanks again for visiting, playing with pandas and buying my books! You’ll be glad you did!
Panda On!

Well, at least it’s not a crime YET…

I hope everyone who had either a primary election or a special election in your state/district went and voted. It is important that everyone who can vote does. Yes, I meant everyone. If you have to cheat to win an election, well, then it’s not really winning, is it?

Because if you don’t vote, we might end up with something like this:

Things are about as real as they can get.

Oh. Yeah. We did. Well, you should vote anyway, ‘kay?

If Only We Could Forget Reality

Wouldn’t it be nice to forget reality for even one day?

Well, what the heck do you think we were doing on Friday with all those ‘toons of adorable panda twins? I mean, while we were getting all schmoopy when we saw how nice the Meihems are to their little sisters, He Who Must Not Be Named was playing footsie with the head of N. Korea’s cyber warfare department. Probably showing him how clever all his passwords are and how easy it was to avoid the intelligence departments.

And I’m pretty sure he hasn’t forgotten about his military parade…

Do we HAVE to go?

Oh…don’t forget to watch out for those sinkholes…
