Let’s get ready for Bubba’s (Pinky: and PINKY’S!) Birthday Season!

Oh yes, it is panda birthday season now and it’s in full swing! But two of the stars of panda birthday season have birthdays in just a few more days. Last Friday we saw some of Pinky’s greatest moments and now it is Bubba’s turn!

But first, we have just returned from secret talks in an undisclosed location!

Can you guess where?

Oh Canada
We think you’re really swell
Meanwhile south of you
We are so ashamed
We’ve really gone to hell

Oh Canada
Your country’s very grand
The premier he fights
For diversity
A panda in each hand!

Oh Canada
Your Premier’s really cute
In a kilt he rocks,
Even on the beach,
And in a formal suit!

Oh Canada
We had a real good time
And now that global warming’s here
You make some real good wine!

Oh Canada
The US is a dump
We look longingly
Cross the border cause
You don’t have Donald Trump

But now, let’s get the birthday season rolling!

PP: um, dis is not going to interrupt my presidential campaign, is it?

He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!

Feed me, Mama!

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

Really, Pinky….It’s not nice to tease your little brother.

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

As true today as it ever was…

Coffee tastes better in a Bubba mug…

You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?

Of course, you can read ALL of Bubba’s (Pinky: and Pinky’s!!!!!) ‘toons in Book 7 of The Panda Chronicles: Don’t call mee boo boo!

The seventh book of The Panda Chronicles Series

Panda on!

8 Replies

Oh my goodness! It is actually Christmas eve. Not just Christmas Eve, Eve, but the real deal! Christmas Eve! And it is also the first day of Hanukkah! Yay! presents for eight days! What could be better?And…ahem…it is day 24 of 31 Days of Pandas, and tomorrow, there will be a brand new ‘toon, just for you, because…um…I am sooooo awesome! So, here are some holiday favorites just because y’all are da bears!

It’s beginning to look a lot like CrispMoss!

Even more poignant this year…

Consider this my Werld Peez Pandifesto… Even a year ago I was worried.

Gift suggestions for the panda in your life! and you can print these out and play with them while you are having your coffee and cinnamon rolls in your jammies!

Just the thing for a cozy evening at home with mom and the panda cam!

Inspired by one of Pinky’s favorite artworks, a sculpture by Edgar Degas, which seems to be in every art museum on the east coast.

Princess Pinky and her very first tutu, gifted to her by her big brother Tai Shan!

And remember! The Panda Chronicles books make perfect gifts, any time of year! And then you can visit Pandyland and get stuff with pandas on it!

Panda On, Ho Ho Ho!

Day 14: 31 Days of Pandas

12 Replies

Here we are, almost halfway through 31 Days of Pandas! I have been saving this picture for a while, because I wanted to share it on a day when we all need a little lift, and I think the time is now.

One of the most favorite things about my recent trip to London, maybe destined to be my favorite experience in my entire life, was getting to see original sketches, up close and personal in the Victoria and Albert Museum study room. I first found out that a person could actually call up the museum and make an appointment, and tell them, “I would like to see this…” and they would say yes, and then you would do it – from reading this blog post.

Since I have loved Winnie the Pooh from the time we first met, and that the original drawings by Earnest H. Shepard made me want to be an artist, the idea that I could hold one of his drawings in my hands was something I never thought was possible.

Of course, Mini Bob went along on my visit to the study room, and wanted his picture taken.

Can you believe they let Mini Bob get this close to an original pencil sketch?

But now, without further folderol, here is today’s ‘toon, where we see the aftermath of Bubba’s overindulgence in cuppycakes, not to mention what a good mom Mei Xiang is….

Oh come on…hasn’t that ever happened to you? One minute there are two dozen cuppycakes just sitting there, and the next minute they’re gone?

Panda On

By the way, several people were asking for a poster of Yoga for Pandas. I designed one, but when I went to Cafe Press, where I sell products with my pandas on them, I found that they did not have a good size of posters. But having designed the graphic, I though I would put it on a few other items, while I search around for another way to make posters available. Here’s one of them, and you can see the others here. I’m still working on some Bubba things. sorry not to have them in time for Christmas, but there you have it.

Panda On, Panda On

Yes, I am panda-ing on, even in the face of my unease over what is to come after this devastating outcome to the election of 2016. Panda on, Panda on! We must panda on. We have lost so many bright stars from the sky: Gene Wilder, Leonard Cohen, Alan Rickman (sob), Prince, David Bowie, Bob Elliott, Harper Lee, Gwen Ifill, Muhammad Ali, Elie Wiesel (what must he be thinking right now?) and so many more. Some of my panda friends on Facebook have lost those nearest and dearest to their hearts.

Must we go on? In the words of Gene Wilder in his role in Blazing Saddles, “We must, we must.”

Panda On!!!!!

Feed me, Mama!

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

Those darn emails…

Really, Pinky….It’s not nice to tease your little brother.

Nooooo! Not the PINK crayon!

Yes, there IS a Panda Chronicles Coloring Book! Get it HERE!

What is Pinky reading?

Now, more than ever….

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

And if you are looking for the perfect holiday accompaniment to your breakfast table…

Have yourself a Pandy little Christmas…

Have a Fabulous Furry Friday

Day 27: Countdown to the New Year Begins

16 Replies

Could it really be true? Could we be starting the countdown to the new year already?

Well, yes we could. In some ways the year flew by, and in other ways it was excruciatingly long. We have a new panda cub in Washington DC, twins in Toronto, and now the faintest glimmer of the possibility of pandas in the Pandacific Northwest. Huzzah!

And now, for the last new cartoon of the new year, I offer this, as my wish for the new year, probably guaranteed to delight and annoy, in equal measure. Feel free to tell me what you think in the comments, but I won’t post anything really mean or abusive. Other than that, have at it!

Consider this my Werld Peez Pandifesto

No fairs unka bob, indeed!

Well, why the heck not?

Isn’t that just the cutest thing?

Vote for Pinky. Do YOU want to explain why you didn’t?

Hey! Why NOT vote for Bob? Peace, prosperity, and buy stuff with pandas!

Day 16: It’s a Wonderful Wu

2 Replies

Yes, it’s a wonderful Wu, and a Wun-derful Life! Huzzah! We are back with the next episodes for your panda satire watching enjoyment.

Sit back and enjoy the show!

You won’t like this, Mr Wu!

Those darn cats!

Oh this is so traumatic! I hate to upset the wu self, but a writer has gotta do what a writer’s gotta do. No one ever said it would be pretty.

Meanwhile, you could head over to Pandyland at Cafe Press and show your support for the Wu-self this holiday season!

The Wu self(i.e.) mug!

…and on the other side…

Behind the Scenes at The Panda Chronicles

10 Replies

You may wonder what the lives of The Panda Chronicles pandas are like when they are not on camera. Mr Wu, being a California bear, enjoys surfing and driving around in his cubvertable. The Meihem twins, besides being Panda Scouts, enjoy relaxing together and plotting ways to make Pinky mad.

And Pinky… well, Pinky likes to relax in her luxuriously appointed private quarters, while catching up on some educational reading.

What is Pinky reading?

And if you are wondering what your nearest and dearest would like for this year’s holiday, consider Pinky’s campaign swag!

Although why I am suggesting this instead of “Hey! Why not vote for Bob” merchandise is beyond me!

Aren’t we in enough trouble already?

Let the excesses of the season begin! It’s almost time for 31 Days of Pandas!

Fabulous Furry Friday

8 Replies

With all this talk about Pinky running for President, I thought a look back at Bob T. Panda’s run for the White House back in 2012 was called for, don’t you? Who could forget those dramatic days….First Girlfriend candidate Babette de Panda, Bob’s vile opponent, Mittens the Cat? It was a non stop political pandarama!

Babette has ..um…toned her wardrobe down in honor of this important occasion.

In the words of Winnie ther Pooh, “I think it’s time for a little something.”

Huzzah!

Does being endangered have NO privileges?

Cats….you just can’t trust em.

Keep cool, cat, and don’t go blaming women for stuff. That is SO not the way to get votes…

Wasn’t that trip down memory lane fun? I can’t hardly wait to see what Pinky has up her paws to help her win this election. And we know Pinky can’t help but win, what with being an icon and all …. and the Winner of the Smithsonian icon Smackdown is…

A special thanks to all of you who have supported panda satire through purchases of my books and stuff with panda satire on them from PandyLand on Cafe Press. Some new designs will be coming out in the next couple of months. In the works are designs for Bee, the Bear, the Meihems, Inspector Panda, the Wu Self, Babette de Panda, and who knows what other panda characters will be commemorated this way? If you have a special request, please feel free to share it in a comment, or on the contact us page. 10 % of revenue from Pandyland sales will go to one of several Panda Support organizations. In April, we supported (or will, as soon as we get our proceeds from Cafe Press!) will go to Pandas International, to help assist them in all that they do for pandas. Huzzah!

Be the Bear, and have a fabulous furry, FRIDAY!

Pandas Need YOU! The board of panda proliferation informs us that while we have gained significant ground in bringing panda satire to panda lovers, we are not bringing panda satire to panda lovers EVERYWHERE! And so we come to you, bamboo in paw, to ask for your help. Now, we don’t want you to forward the link to this blog to people who don’t like pandas, or worse, have no sense of humor (heaven forfend!) But, if you have one or two or three or twenty friends who might enjoy a panda or two arriving in their computer a couple times a week, please introduce them to Bob T. and the gang here at the panda chronicles. We will be ever so grateful!

And if you really want to help pandas real and imaginary, buy stuff with pandas (well, with my pandas, anyway) on it from Pandyland at Cafe Press. Once I get to a very modest level of sales, I will be able to donate some of the proceeds to our good friends at Pandas International. A quick click on the link at the righthand side of the page will whisk you away to Pandyland! Huzzah!

Thank you and Be the Bear!
