The Season of Cake Part Two

It is my Birthday Season, and that means it is the season of cake! I love cake. Did I mention that? Frosting should be declared a national treasure. Just saying.

I don’t have one of those skimpy one day birthdays. No, I have a birthday season. My birthday season lasts one day for each year old I am, and while I’m not going to reveal exactly how old I am, let’s just say that my birthday season is very, very, very, long. Certain parties, who shall not be named here, think it is entirely too long, and that maybe I should cut back to a birthday week, or at the very least, a birthday month.

Pah!

So today’s cartoon is about….

Cake.

Inspired by a TRUE story!

Yes, It’s true! I heard about it on the internet, so it must be true. Mehitabel is such a spoil sport! I mean these guys are scientists!!!!!!

Well, I need to go…um…have some cake.

Be the Bear (and have cake!)

PS: I finally got that pesky Pinky header off of my cartoon! Who knows what trouble she will get into next!

The Campaign of Bob…

13 Replies

The campaign of Bob does not run smoothly. No, really. Did you think it would? Well, you are in the wrong place for things to run smoothly. Just saying. What? Did you think you had tuned in to an episode of Little Den on the Prairie or something?

No, this is panda satire! It’s hard! It’s gritty! We are endangered! Excuse me, now it is time for my nap. But first…

And how did Pinky manage to hack into my computer again?

You would think that Mama Mei would be happy that Pinky is taking her little brother in paw to teach him a few things. Not to mention being proud that her little girl is so tech savvy!

Meanwhile, in other news, Amazon has opened a store in Seattle, and I am thrilled. I would be more thrilled if they actually put my books in their stores, but that may be too much to hope for. If you live in Seattle, and happen to drop by their store, put in a good word for pandas, okay? We are endangered, you know.

And progress on my coloring book is humming along. I hope to finish compiling it in the next week, so I can get it out in the world (via Amazon!) before the holiday shopping season. I am also working on a major revision of “The Case of the Picturesque Panda” so that it is a middle grade graphic novel. Some major changes are afoot (a paw?) and I can’t resist sharing one of the sample pages here:

Yes, Mr. Wu gets to be the smart one!

I’d love to know what people think about the color, style of the illustrations, whatever you want to tell me. and I…um…promise I’ll read it and won’t ignore any negative things you might have to say. I might whimper a bit, but you don’t mind do you? This is a VERY long term project, so don’t be expecting this one any time soon, but you will be among the first to know when it is finished!

Well, pandas wait for no man!

A Halloween Carol, The Final Episode

19 Replies

The spirits of Halloween past, present, and future have all visited Pinky, leaving her a wiser Pinky, if not…um…completely reformed.

Surely you didn’t think that would happen, did you?

And now, A Halloween Carol, part 10, the final chapter….

Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

I didn’t know Pinky knew the word “share,” did you?

Don’t forget! Copies of The Panda Chronicles Book 6: We R Endangered are now on sale, along with all the other Panda Chronicle books! Did I mention they make excellent presents?

A Halloween Carol Part 9

10 Replies

Number nine…number nine… in the ninth episode of A Halloween Carol, we discover what Pinky fears most! But if you are a follower of Pinky and her exploits, I’m guessing that you already know.

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Yup, the only thing that Pinky fears is…not being the center of ~~attention~~ the universe. Are you surprised? No, me neither.

Meanwhile in other news, films and photograph of a “Beaver Relocation Program” in Idaho have recently surfaced. We definitely plan to issue a cartoonic response to this news story, so be sure to tune in each week on Sundays and Wednesdays for the latest in panda satire. I think the panda kindergarten was very inspired by this video and is planning something, although I don’t know exactly what. I thought I heard them whispering something about “rat overrun in NYC” and “Mr. Kitty”, but I didn’t catch all of it. Stay tuned!

Don’t forget to come back on Friday, when Fabulous Furry Friday shares vintage halloween cartoons from our archives!

PS: don’t forget Book 6 of The Panda Chronicles: We R Endangered is now available! Huzzah! and need we mention they make great gifts? Give the gift of Panda Satire today!

A Halloween Carol – Part 8

16 Replies

That is quite some list Mei Xiang has clutched in her paws, isn’t it? A Halloween Carol is approaching it’s climax, and I still don’t think Pinky has repented her past misdeeds. Is she ready to be president?

Why not vote for Bob?

Was that list in small type, single spaced? And it’s “present” not “presents.”

Not to mention that Pinky is doing some serious eye-rolling in panel 3, plus what a pouty face in panel 2. Is this what you want from your president? Just saying. Hey! Why not vote for Bob?

Fabulous Furry Friday

8 Replies

…better late than never.

It is Fabulous Furry Friday once again, and it is time to dive into the archives to share some vintage panda satire with you, so that I send you smiling into your weekend.

As Bubba packs on the ounces, I am reminded of Pinky’s early days as a Panda Princess, quickly gaining the control of the previous class of the panda kindergarten…

Pinky tests her powers….

But then she acquires some unusual powers for a panda…It appears that she had an elevated sense of self worth from a very early age….

Princess Pinky is drawing a line in the sandbox.

National Zoo cub makes mom Mei Xiang disappear

oops.

Princess Pinky is fooled by Mei Xiang at the National Zoo

Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…

Hmmm….I think perhaps Pinky has always felt she was born to rule….but meanwhile, in the panda kindergarten….

What’s a cat to do? Pass the cake, please.

Ya’ll have a pandy weekend! Pass the cake, please.

A Halloween Carol – Part 7

16 Replies

We are getting down to it now! The spirit of Halloween present (NOT presents!) has just arrived and has a list and is checking it twice. And what list do we think that paragon of panda obstreperousness is on?

You be the judge, in episode seven of A Halloween Carol...

Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…

Meanwhile, copies of The Panda Chronicles Book 6: We R Endangered are reaching their new homes and sounds of laughter are welling up around the globe. Do you have YOUR copy yet? Well why the heck not? Support panda satire! Save the pandas! We R Endangered!!!!

A Halloween Carol Part Six

10 Replies

I’m pretty sure this is not going to end well. The jig is really and truly up. It is hard to hide your misdeeds from the supernatural world and these spirits are not pleased. And this is just the ghosts of Halloween PAST!!!! What will happen when we get to present and future?

I shudder to think. So, let’s get right to A Halloween Carol, part six!

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.

I’m sure if Charles Dickens knew about pandas, he would have put a couple of them into one of his books.

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

6 Replies

Sometimes it’s easy to know what to post for Fabulous Furry Friday, and sometimes it’s not. The news continues to be depressing; more school shootings, lion killers going unindicted, the coming of daylight losing time, not to mention the lack of a MacArthur Fellowship being awarded for panda satire…

It’s enough to make a sensitive panda crawl under the covers and not come out for weeks. But there are paintings to paint, and pandas to draw. Maybe I’ll have a cuppycake and all will be well.

Or maybe I’ll just watch some panda videos. That always helps.

Yep, it’s true! pandas are under contract!

Is it that time already?

Can Mehitabel endure the tidal wave of pandas?

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

just in time for the upcoming onslaught…a visit to Bob’s First campaign!

And if you are behind on your Panda Satire reading, now would be the perfect time to stock up on all six of The Panda Chronicles Books!

Huzzah!
