It is Close to the National Zoo’s Birthday Trifecta!

4 Replies

The three youngest kids at the National Zoo were born on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of August! So it only seemed right that the encore presentations this month are all about them! (Pinky: I thought they were all going to be about ME?)

Well, Pinky, I think you can rest assured that even when the ‘toons are not “about” you, they are still ABOUT you, if you know what I mean! (Bubba: oh boy, do wee ebber!)

So let’s see what was happening in August during the applicative years….

Pinky tests her powers….
If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.
Mei should not be getting all excited like this in her condition!
Mei puts her paw down…
And this hacking into my title imagery has got to stop!

I couldn’t resist sharing Bubba’s least favorite ‘toon (and one of Pinky’s favorites!)

Bubba flunks “cake”
Complete with a flashback to the Meihem’s party just a few weeks ago…

It is a sad state of affairs, wherein we realize that even Pinky would have been a better president than Mittens…

Aren’t you already in enough trouble, Pinky?
“Just run along and put these brochures where people will see them!”
You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?

Wasn’t that a fun trip down memory lane? Bubba was so cute serving drinks! We’ll be back with a new ‘toon next Tuesday, and some more encore presentations featuring our favorite panda ‘toons from days gone by!

Till next time!

Pinky’s Nightmare: A Celebration of Her No. 1 Daughter, Princess Pinky Jr.

Leave a reply

It has been something of a dilemma of how to advance the ongoing story of the life of the pandas who grew up at the US Zoos, who have been the mainstay of The Panda Chronicles (Mr Wu: ahem!!!) after all the stories about Mr. Wu, of course. (Mr. Wu: that’s more like it) I mean, how can Pinky be a mother while she is still a self centered teenager? What has transpired is a jumbled narrative that is unmoored in time and place.

It is what it is. Happy Birthday, PPJ!

This isn’t a dream…it’s a nightmare!

And so, Princess Pinky Jr. has continued to pop in and out of the ‘toons like an alternate reality. Reality has not been all it’s cracked up to be, after all.

And for those of you who follow the fine art side of the Pandasphere…

It’s Still Panda Birthday Season

I was….um…busy making cakes for pandas so I don’t have the next episode of what’s happening at Camp GrandMei ready for you. I did, however, sweep and mop my studio!

Here are some favorites from Panda Birthday Seasons past!

The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.
There must be cake!
Bai Yun and Lun Lun Discuss Motherhood
PP: um, dis is not going to interrupt my presidential campaign, is it?
Mr Bun has a question, daddee.
Is anyone having the flashback to the wicked fairy not being invited to Briar Rose’s christening party?

Still one of my all time favorites!

I hoped you enjoyed this trip down panda memory lane! Now, let’s have some cake!

The Exciting Conclusion of Being Endangered is Such a Curse…and a few other favorites!

Leave a reply

Pinky is in SO Much trouble!

Everyone knows the party isn’t over till you can sit down and re-hash it!

And that’s how Six and Sebben got their names! I’m not entirely sure that the attempting poofing didn’t have some long term effects…

All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????
Bears will be bears

Wasn’t that fun? Here’s a few other favorites from the archives…

But some pandas go both ways!
It’s so hard to be cool when you still live with your mom.

Mr Wu wellness cubbie exam with the green ball is one of my all time favorites!

what will the panda kindergarten do next?

Well, I hope you enjoyed this extended dive into the archives! I’m pretty much done with the work for my upcoming paint show, and returning from a much needed trip, so I expect there will be new ‘toons shortly!

Now where were we…oh yes, Pinky arrives at the Naming Day Party of Six and Sebben, uninvited and MAD….

Won’t someone save these innocent little pandas???
Oh Bubba! Be careful!!!!
Did Pinky just poof her little brother? Stay tuned!
But all the power in the world is nothing compared to the power of Mommee!
Bubba: wait! why am i in trubble?
I think I see a slight resemblance to a Pinky tantrum…just saying.

Oh my…I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mommee Mei so mad at Pinky!
‘Toon in next time for the exciting conclusion! (Can we take more excitement? I don’t know…)

More From the Archives!

Leave a reply

As I finish up my work for my upcoming show, I find I need to lean on the archives a little bit more. Of course that means you get a BUNCH of ‘toons instead of just one, so not all bad!

Let’s see what bubbles to the surface…

Back in the before times…

What happens at the debate, states at the debate…
Uh oh. Is Bubba about to rat someone out?

sigh…if only…

Whoever could it be, to see Pinky in her lair?
Oh Bubba! What were you thinking?
Just what kind of deal is Pinky making?

Didn’t anyone tell Pinky if you have to cheat, you’re not winning? Hmm…

Um…I had some fluff in my eyes….
What goes around, comes around…

Can you blame him? Who doesn’t love ice cream?

I hope you enjoyed this dive into the archives!

Pinky’s Summer Job of 2017

2 Replies

Our good friend Maria Panda posted a ‘toon from one of our books, showing Pinky heading off to summer camp. As Pinky’s twins Four and Five are about to go off to CampGrandMei later this week, we thought we better take a little trip down memory lane!

Is it a good thing that I can’t remember some of my own story lines?

What could be in a letter to Pinky?
Mei is certainly ready for summer vacation, but maybe Bubba needs some summer duds!
Unhand my Banky Pig!
What a wonderful surprise! Um…NOT!!!!
Pinky is going on an adventure!
Pinky: after all, i AM a icon!!!!
C’est Moi?
How about that!

Well, I know there is more to this story and I will look for it for our next Panda Chronicles Archive extravaganza. Until next time, when we hope to have a new ‘toon for Thursday, …

Hooray Hooray The Month of May

More May Mishegas

Once again we take a trip through the archives to see what we were doing in previous years this month!

“I’ll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and one of…”

I bet it was Frank and Mikey, who we hadn’t met yet in May of 2018.

And then one more from the animal justice league!

If you go out in the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise!

And wouldn’t ya know…a ‘toon from May 2019 has relevance even today in 2026…

Ping!

I have REALLY got to quit predicting the future…

Who could have done this????

In May of 2020, we were deep into the scariest part of the Covid pandemic…

Wait…we get paid?
Nooz Flash: “president” Mittens has tested negative for having any compassion at all.
Did Pinky put this on Daddee’s Panda Express card?
Cole slaw, anyone?

It’s amazing what you can get from Acme, isn’t it?

Pinky: now where did I leave Daddee’s Panda Express card…

These ‘toons brought to you in preparation for more from Pinky’s twins, Four and Five, and why they are the way they are.

I hope these ‘toons from the archives have brought even a momentary smile to your faces. Remember: Mittens and his minions WANT you to feel bad, forget joy, feel hopeless! Be like Pinky! (MX: well, not exactly like Pinky…) and don’t give up in advance. Remember, it makes them mad when you laugh at them.
