In celebration of the release of Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten….

…we bring you a new cartoon about none other than the panda kindergarten! Huzzah! We promise that Princess Pinky will be making occasional appearances on Mini Mei Monday, but she is still too young to have a whole day every week all to herself. (“no! i isn’t!”)

Varooooooomba! Thanks to Lynnie Ness for alerting us to the “off label” use of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.

And yes! we have released the third volume of the collected cartoons of the Panda Chronicles! Huzzah! Book 3 is titled: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten! The wind may howl and rain may fall, but it won’t keep the panda kindergarten from their appointed rounds! This (and all the other books in the series) are available through Amazon and you can find them by following either the link in the right hand column, with the colorful cover, or by going to the page titled “The Panda Chronicles: The Book(s)” at the top of this page. It’s not too early to get copies for holiday presents!

Meanwhile, Mr. Wu will return on Wednesday with the next episode of his adventure in the Wizard of Wu. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!

Till then, Be the Bear!

Once again, we predict reality on Fabulous Furry Friday.

It was bound to happen, sooner or later! As you may recall, we launched the idea of a panda clan tartan a full two weeks before the Edinburgh Zoo announced that they had commissioned one.

And now, British Airways has painted one of their jets just like the one that I drew more than 4 years ago, for PandAir Airlines, the only airline run by and for pandas. How do you like them cuppycakes?

bears in the air…

Beware…..

Pandas have a better idea…

notice the stylish design….

please have your tray table in their upright position for take-off…

…and most of all, don’t panic.

see, doesn’t this look just like British Airways’ new paint job?

I rest my case.

You’ll notice the older, less polished style (and very poor image clean-up skills, I might add) of the cartoon, which makes my point, I said it first. Really, all these corporate entities should check with me before they launch these things!

Well, till next week, when we predict the next trend in panda themed promotions,

Be the Bear!

Oops...International Talk Like a Pirate Day was yesterday…sorry, but it was so much fun, I didn’t want to stop!

Since you had a big bonus day yesterday, I’ll just publish a small encore presentation. (If you missed it, you’ll want to see yesterday’s post for the full Mr. wu’s Pirate adventure!) Here’s a little something from the soon to be released (really soon!) The Panda Chronicles Book 3: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten:

On my honor, I will try…to eat as many cookies as I possibly can….

Nothing like a bit of the great outdoors to straighten up the panda kindergarten.

Have a fabulous weekend!

While Thursday is not a normal posting day (and don’t get any ideas about Princess Pinky Thursdays) It IS a national holiday, and by that, of course I mean, International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Huzzah!

In honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I hereby re-run, in all it’s entirety, Mr Wu’s very first adventure, which I call, A Pirate’s Life for Wu! Enjoy!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!

Mr Wu is up the creek without a paddle…

An explorer’s work is never done.

Mister Wu and his new friends.

“You are right and Wu is wrong…I’ll never do it again, mommy.”

Don’t you love “rear shots” of baby pandas?

Avast mateys! You’ll be bein’ the bear now, I wager!

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Fabulous Furry Friday: Musings of the amusing sort….

We’re Back! Did you miss us?

Hello Panda Fans! It seems that several of you may have missed us over the weekend as we were doing some site renovations. You will most likely see some twiddling and refining as time goes on, as I wanted to get the pandas up and running (we can so run!) even though everything is not cuppycake perfect as yet!

Much excitement has been happening in the land of pandas…the Atlanta twinkies are now 7 (or is it 8?) weeks old and getting cute enough to send Mr. Wu into a tailspin of anxiety over his cuteness ratings (more on that coming Wednesday.) The newest panda in our nation’s capitol has survived a full week+ a few days and is getting fat and loud. Huzzah! I caught a glimpse of “starter ears” on the Facebook pictures this morning. Huzzah!

But all is not hunky-dorey…The New Yorker magazine ran an expose on the secret life of pandas, much to the embarrassment of guy pandas everywhere. “Did he HAVE to tell that story?”, more than one panda was heard to mutter around the pandasphere this morning.

Did he really have to tell them THAT????

Of Course Gao Gao, stud muffin of the SDZ had no complaints about the article!

Meanwhile, work on Book 3 of The Panda Chronicles is proceeding. Stay tuned here to be the first to know when it is ready. Speaking of staying tuned, as a result of a change in web hosting, it seems that all my subscribers disappeared in the transition (for the blog, not the newsletter) so if you would still like to receive new cartoons in your inbox 3 times a week, please re-subscribe via the form/button that says “Invite Pandas to Your Inbox” near the top of the righthand column. You don’t want to miss a single episode, especially with Mr. Wu starting on a new adventure next week!

till next time!

Be the Bear!

Fabulous Furry Friday: Today I am a Bear

Welcome to Fabulous Furry Friday! The day we bring you one of our favorite selections from the archives. As it is graduation season all around the U.S .and probably in many other parts of the world as well, I thought we would answer the question: What happens when the panda kindergarten graduates?

Today, you are a bear.

Have a great weekend!

Fabulous Furry Friday: Today I am a Bear

It may be Monday, but the story continues…

Editors note: I realize I may seem to be capricious and uncareful with the cute wu self…sending him off with the panda kindergarten in the middle of the night. Perhaps an all-Wu-all-the-time cartoon line up on Mondays and Wednesdays will keep you all from tar-and-feathering me. Maybe?

“Are we there, yet?”

Come back on Wednesday and see what happens next…

Be the Bear!

Editors Note: I seem to have unleashed a firestorm of discontent over my story line to let Mr. Wu run away to join the circus in the company of the panda kindergarten. What was I thinking? Well, I was thinking that as Mr. Wu has been growing up and getting more adventurous, that it was the natural next step in a young panda’s life. What little panda wouldn’t be tempted by the bright lights and the roar of the crowd? Who amongst us hasn’t wanted to run off and join the circus at some point in our young life?

Fear not! Mr. Wu will come home safely from his adventure, but not just yet. I can promise you that. In the meantime, Le Cirque du Pandet is waiting…..

Who wouldn’t want to run off and join this circus?

Stay tuned for Mr. Wu’s most exciting adventure, as pandas everywhere say, hey! I want to join the circus too!

Be the Bear!
