And a big pandy thank you to Vicky Vladic for her line: Every time a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we are getting ready for the onslaught of shock and dismay (not to mention some amount of yelling, at your story-telling editor, in the comment section.
You are REALLY going to hate today’s cartoon.
Just trust me, ‘kay?
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?

It just gets worser and worser. But have faith, it will get better…um..eventually!
The year is winding down as well, and I am starting to look forward to all that is ahead for the pandas in 2014. I plan to make some announcements in my January Newsletter, so if you haven’t yet signed up for that, and want to be the first to know all the panda satire plans for the year, now is a good time to sign up. Just fill out the handy form “Get even MORE pandas” near the top of the righthand column.
And now, we bring you episode six of It’s a WUnderful Life! Huzzah!
Those darn cats!
Be the Bear!

Oh poor Mr Wu…it is finally beginning to dawn on him, just HOW awful a world with no new panda cubs could be. And isn’t that a great segue into a word from one of our sponsors?
As we reach the end of the year, many organizations are filling the airways and our mailboxes with appeals for end of the year tax deductible donations. Please indulge me in making a plug for one of my favorites, Pandas International. Despite the fact that I spend most of my time here making fun of pandas and putting them in situations where you would not find a real panda, Pandas International has long been a follower and supporter of my work. Go Figure! So as you make your decisions on charitable contributions in the waning days of 2013, consider lending a paw to Pandas International. After all, without pandas, there could be no panda satire.
And now, on with the show and the next thrilling episode of, It’s a WUnderful Life!
You won’t like this, Mr Wu!
I hope you will continue to stay tuned for the next four episodes of It’s a WUnderful life! We have much pandaful stuff in store for you next year, which we hope you will stay tuned for. 2014 is going to be the year of the panda!
Be the Bear,

Thanks to everyone who took a break from ripping open presents, eating way too much, or doing good works for your fellow bears, to check in with the pandas yesterday!
Is it time for me to pat myself on the back for not missing a single day of 31 days of pandas (at least not yet!) The pace has been grueling…I’ve had to watch many, many, many panda videos of Princess Pinky and Mr Wu (and let’s not forget the Twinkies!) so I could get their little panda selves. just. right.
Oh well, best not to get all puffed up about it…just keep on pandaing, that’s my motto!
And so without further delay, here is the next episode of It’s a WUnderful Life!

I know in the original movie, all the action takes place on Christmas Eve, but frankly, I just can’t draw that fast. So BEAR with me, ‘kay? (I should probably make some kind of new year’s resolution about giving up making terrible puns, but you know, it’s just not gonna happen. Let’s all just move on.)
So, while all the pandas in real life are now partying at mama Bai Yun’s place, in pandyland, it’s time for episode 3 of It’s a WUnderful Life! Huzzah!
Bee the bear tells it like it is: every panda matters.
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…oh wait…sorry, that was the last adventure!
There’s more coming your way tomorrow! Merry Christmas to all!
Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….
Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda
Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….
Thank you, each and every one.
With gratitude and cuppycakes,
Bob T Panda, Babette de Panda, Mehitabel the cat, Mr Wu, Binky, Pinky and don’t forget the Twinkies and the panda kindergarten.
Oh dear. Mr wu is diving right in to say the least.
Hope you enjoy this episode of It’s a WUnderful Life, starring Mr Wu, Bee the bear and more besides!
If I can get all my other work done today, there may be a special edition of the Panda Chronicles tonight.
But only if you’ve been very, VERY good.
Wu is a good bear at heart….
Stay tuned!
Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda
Today marks the start of a soon to be holiday classic! One that you will want to watch every year, just like some of those other holiday classics that turn up every year around now. I am, of course, speaking of our new feature adventure, starring the one and only, Mr Wu!
Hold on to your cuppycakes because you won’t want to miss a single minute of It’s a Wunderful Life!
(editor’s note: This series contains extreme melodrama, existential dilemmas and not a little bit of out and out pathos. Please don’t yell at me.)
Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.
Oh dear, we know where this is going, kinda sorta, don’t we?
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
But you already knew that, didn’t you? Well, now it’s official, at least according to Smithsonian Magazine, where Princess Pinky Bao Bao is this month’s cover girl. And in her Princess Pinky fashion, she demanded a cartoon to commemorate the occasion.
A girl’s gotta do, what a girl’s gotta do, and that applies equally to mama pandas.
Beware, the power of the paw!
Don’t you just hate it when your mom hides your important stuff?
Well, we have just 9 more days remaining in our 31 Days of Pandas series, and we are going to wind up the year with a short feature presentation, It’s a WUnderful Life! Tune in tomorrow for the first episode.
Thank you, to everyone who has joined in with the panda fun! I am so glad you have come along for the ride.
Peace be with you, embrace your inner panda, and keep being the bear.
Bob T. Panda
