Who Knew Weather Could be so Controversial?

4 Replies

Between HWMNBN revising official weather maps with a sharpie, and the wild thunder and lightning storm that crashed through the Seattle area on Saturday night, weather is not just a boring topic for people looking for a non-controversial topic. The story that caught my eye a few weeks ago, was of a thunder storm in Florida (of course) where the lightning got a bit out of…um…hand.

Boy am I glad the lightning didn’t hit near MY house!!

Maybe if it is thundering and lightning, you may want to hold off going to the little bear’s room.

I tip of the hat and a round of cupcakes to all of you who let me know that their Mr. Wu Pins and Patches arrived! I’ll be getting to work really soon on the next round of goodies, so that they can be produced and mailed before the holidays!

For those of you who missed these offerings, I will be setting up a new page right here at Panda Chronicles headquarters, so that you can peruse the pandas and get your own!

Panda On!

It’s the Debate Season!

Are you going to watch the next round of Democratic Debates? If so, you might want to warm up by watching the first of the Cake Party debates.

Because you knew this was coming, didn’t you?

At least as informative as those OTHER debates!

Those who know me well, know that there is no joke that I won’t flog until it is laying on the ground, gasping for breath, and so, we return to our ‘toon theme of last week, pretending that you have done something monumental when you’ve actually been lying on the couch eating bon-bons!

When you care to pretend you’ve sent the very best…Youverest™.  What could possibly go wrong?

This could have serious repercussions!

Panda on!

For those of you who have ordered Pinky stickers and want to put them on a coffee cup, here are some tips! (lest you end up with it sticking your hands together or covering your face):

Thank you for supporting panda satire! Here’s some tips on putting your stickers on the mugs: 

1. Clean, dry, (and empty!) flat sided mug (aka standard boring mugs)
2. DO NOT remove backing yet
3. Put a smallish piece of removable tape on one end of the sticker, and use that to position & anchor sticker to mug
4. Starting from the taped end, smooth & hold sticker around the curve of the mug. Lay the mug on it’s side to give yourself an extra hand
5. The backing is in sections, so with one hand holding the mug down, use your other hand to remove the backing on the free end of the sticker, and carefully smooth onto the mug.
6. Remove the tape from the other end
7. Starting from the attached end of the sticker, remove the backing one section at a time and smooth down as you go.
8. I recommend hand-washing for longer Pinky life of your mug
Enjoy your favorite beverage with Pinky!

Coffee tastes better when you have it with Pinky!

Let’s Celebrate the Canadian Pandas!

How did it ever get to be September? I just can’t imagine how August slipped by with hardly any notice. One of these months I need to completely block out my calendar and stay in bed for a week and read books and eat toast.

Meanwhile, I think it’s time to share our Salute to the Canadian Pandas, because…well, just because!

Pinky and the Twinkies, eh?

“If Pinky is grounded, can I have her dessert?”

uh oh…

Um…I think Pinky has Daddee wrapped around her fuzzy little paw. Just saying.

Ooooh! Did Daddee actually yell at Pinky?

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?

There may be political concussions!

I just love that series of ‘toons! And we are definitely now suffering from political concussions!

Panda on!

It’s Better Than Being There!

There are many things (IMHO) that it is better to live through the stories told by others, through books or movies, or videos on the internet. One of the top things I would rather see pictures of than to do myself, would be climbing Mt. Everest. Jon Oliver did a hilariously funny segment on all the people who had lost all sense of proportion in their desire to climb the fabled mountain.

Of course, I borrowed shamelessly from his show to write this ‘toon!

Not to mention, I have a terrible fear of heights!

For those who have seen my little arts and crafts project over at FezBook, I have some information for you! 

First the important stuff: Stickers are $8 for the first one, and $6 for each one after that. Please double check with me before sending me money, so I can put your stickers aside for you. You can do that via the Contact Us link at the top of the page. Tell me how many you would like and your mailing address. This price includes US postage.

Once I tell you Yes, I have stickers for you, head over to my PayPal.me page (you can also click on the panda with the bowler hat under the heading: Buy a Panda a Cuppycake, which will take you to the same place) It will give you a spot to type in the amount of money ($8 for one sticker, $14 for two and so on) then if you have a PayPal account it will ask you to log in. I think there is the option to pay as a guest without logging in. (You can also send me a check if you don’t want to deal with PayPal)

If you were a Kickstarter supporter on the latest pin project, you are already getting one. If you’d like more than one, you can contact me (via the Contact Us link at the top of the page) and if you let me know by this weekend, I can stuff a couple more stickers in your package.

Here’s the sticker: Sized 3 in. x 8 in.

What could possibly go wrong?!?!?!?

And here’s what it looks like on the cup!

Coffee tastes better when you have it with Pinky!

My counter almost looks tidy! I’ll write up a little tutorial next time!

Everyone knows elephants never forget, and if you think they are going to forget OR forgive being associated with the party of tRump? You have never seen an angry elephant!

I mean, elephants take care of each other, look out for the little ones, no matter who their parents are, and they have a pretty good sense of humor, even if Bob doesn’t think so!.

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

BTW: I finally figured out how to print labels using Pages. Geez. They do not make it easy for you. Why can’t they just give you the damn templates?

It’s Sunday Funday!

You know what we do on Sundays! We rummage through the archives looking for fun ‘toons to share with you again! TBH, sometimes I get an idea for a ‘toon theme when I’m out and about doing stuff, but by the time I sit down at the compooter, I’ve forgotten it already. Actually, I almost forgot what I was writing in the middle of this sentence.

But it’s Pinky’s Birthday season (and BUBBA’S!!!!!) so, it seems like we could still replay some of Pinky’s greatest hits!

So, away we go!

Those girls are a force to be reckoned with.

Never say “No” to a Pinky!

Bao Bao, washington DC cover-up

Oh, Pinky…what have you done?

I have extra frosting!

I love a good art forgery, don’t you?

Never say “no” to Pinky!

And it was ever thus….

Meihem, not Mayhem.

Well, they did hang their coats up.

This story came to me from one of my alert pandas fans, who like to keep me informed about amusing animal stories that abound on the internet! There have been MANY stories about bears lately, so I have been collecting them and they will show up eventually! Frank and Mikey have been busy bears!

But meanwhile, today is Bubba’s Birthday, so I have to share this ‘toon once again!

birthday

Bubba flunks “cake”

Meanwhile, Put a Penguin on it!

Rogue penguins! Hahahahaha!

Panda On!

BTW: I’m expecting Mr. Wu pins et al tomorrow, so stay tuned! If you supported them on Kickstarter, they will be coming your way soon, and if not, stay tuned on how to get yours!

Frank: not even a LITTLE????

How many times do we have to tell people in National Parks…

I’m glad we have all these wildlife stories to take our minds off of the crazy pants news in DC

Stay tuned for news on Mr. Wu’s pins!

The Silence(ing) of the Louts

6 Replies

Sometimes it feels like I am going to lose my mind. The cries of the right wing hate mongers complaining that they are being silenced, because most people aren’t buying what they’re selling, is 1984 doublespeak at its most virulent. The claims that it’s really those who protest against racial hate speech are the TRUE racists, make my head feel like it is ready to explode.

Last week saw two devastating shootings in less than 24 hours. Since then, there have probably been several more that did not make my news feed. This is in addition to several potential killers who were apprehended before they could enact their foul deeds. Conspiracy theories about the death of Jeffrey Epstein are flying about the internet, including some by the 45th Resident of the White House. Is it possible that we could have just two days in a row where nothing awful happens?

Just because your speech is free, doesn’t mean I have to listen to it.

You are a bully for calling me on my bullying.

Real panda NooZ: At least as of yesterday, the new twins born to Hao Hao at Pairi Daiza in Belgium are doing well. Keep up the good work, everyone! We need more pandas now, more than ever!

Panda on, friends
