Pinky in Wonderland 3

8 Replies

I hardly know what to say. We seem to be descending into a place I never thought we’d go as a country. I plan to head out to our nearest march on Saturday to protest the latest crimes against human (and panda) rights.

And speaking of descending….

Here’s our next episode of Pinky In Wonderland!

Was that Mr. Bun????

Will Pinky follow Mr. Bun? And where did Mr. Bun go? Tune in Sunday for episode 4 of Pinky in Wonderland!

I know it seems like things are especially bleak, and TBH, they are. But all is not lost, as long as we can still vote. I hope you all are checking your registration to make sure it’s current, calling your representatives, and getting out and voting. While the separation of refugee families is dire, the R’s are going to town with trying to take away health care and women’s reproductive rights. The occupant of the WH has successfully banned Muslims (from countries without a tRump hotel or other business interests), all the while reportedly stuffing his pockets and selling the presidency as his latest brand. I hope to see you at one of the marches and then at the voting booth in November.

Pandas RESIST!!!

And a reminder: Don’t be the person who doesn’t speak out against injustice because they haven’t come for you yet.

Can I have EXTRA extra whipped cream?

Don’t You Be Talking Smack About Unka Justin!

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

Nobody, but nobody gets to talk smack about Unka Justin! And so, Fabulous Furry Friday revisits the Canadian Pandas, because we LOVE Unka Justin! Panda on, good buddies to the north!

Oh Panada, Oh Panada, how tasty are your maple leaves….

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?

Are you SURE you wouldn’t like to vote for Bob?

There may be political concussions!

And don’t we all feel this way when we think about President Mittens?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

If you thought things were already crazy, I have a feeling we haven’t seen anything yet. Hold on to your cuppycakes!

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday!

4 Replies

Instead of a news dump, let’s have a panda dump!

Um…that did not come out exactly right. But while I have your attention, this is as good a time as any, to remind you that it can be Fabulous Furry Friday (Gateway to the weekend!) EVERY DAY at your house!

Isn’t this just perfectly pinky?

How? You may ask! How can every day be a festival of pandas in my very own house? Do I need to stock up on cuppycakes? Can I stay in my pajamas? Pandas in my pajamas! What could be better? Remember, buying my books helps to keep the panda satire coming your way!

Yes, it’s time for Mei Watch, once again!

Yes, we are now officially on Mei Watch. A recent hormonal check by the zoo panda keepers revealed that she is showing an elevated hormone level, which means that either she will actually have a cubbie, or she is faking it  for the extra cuppycakes. Time will tell! This could be the last cubbie in the US for a while, as Bai Yun and Lun Lun have both retired and are enjoying a well earned rest.

Bao Bao is unhappy

Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?

You can see while Mei Xiang might be contemplating a calmer, more peaceful life.

If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.

And speaking of keeping me in ink and paper, (What? Who was talking about that?) Did you know that my original cartoons are available for you to own? Yes they are! As long as they are already published in one of my books, they are ready to frame and purchase and come live with you! They come complete with all the ink splotches (not that many) and pencil smudges(only a few). Just send me a message via the Contact Us page and let me know which cartoon you are interested in, and I will frame and ship to you! Huzzah! (Extra charges for international shipping)

Mei Xiang and the Zoo Director have gotten their panties in a knot, it seems.

Mei puts her paw down…

the jig is up

I don’t think Mei is buying the homework thing.

What a trip down Mei’s Mommee Memory lane! Would it be any wonder if she declines to have a cubby this year? What if she has twins? What if they are both like Pinky?????

Thanks again for visiting, playing with pandas and buying my books! You’ll be glad you did!

If Only We Could Forget Reality

7 Replies

Wouldn’t it be nice to forget reality for even one day?

Well, what the heck do you think we were doing on Friday with all those ‘toons of adorable panda twins? I mean, while we were getting all schmoopy when we saw how nice the Meihems are to their little sisters, He Who Must Not Be Named was playing footsie with the head of N. Korea’s cyber warfare department. Probably showing him how clever all his passwords are and how easy it was to avoid the intelligence departments.

And I’m pretty sure he hasn’t forgotten about his military parade…

reality

Do we HAVE to go?

Oh…don’t forget to watch out for those sinkholes…

Pandaing On (through the tears for our failing way of life)

You Knew This Was Coming, Didn’t You?

8 Replies

Well, heh heh! Surely you didn’t think Pinky could have an adventure without there being…um…repercussions, did you? And this time, Bubba can’t claim that it was all Pinky’s idea, since he and Ping Ping went off to Toronto to say goodbye to his friends Yip and Jip all on his own. The only true innocent here is Ping Ping.

You’re all grounded!

Well, she DID bring it back, and really, it should have been hers anyway.

Meanwhile in Pinky and Bubba’s home city, chaos proceeds apace, as the departures from the administration ramps up to unprecedented levels. Buckle your seatbelts, panda fans. The ride is going to be bumpier than we ever imagined possible! But hey! Great employment statistics …for lawyers!

The Pandas have arrived in Calgary (for real!) and they have begun to meet their public! stay tuned for more from Canada’s sweethearts, Yip and Jip!

Panda On!

Notes from the Panda Convention

6 Replies

A good time was had by all at the Panda Convention!

Well, it was a wonderful weekend in PanDiego once again. I saw the Wu Self, Madame Her Royal Highness, the Empress Bai Yun, and even a glimpse from the bridge far above, of the lovely Gao Gao of the extra fuzzy feet. The Panda Convention drew panda fans from around the globe! Australia, Canada, Switzerland, as well as points from all corners of the US. (Literally!) Washington State, Florida, Maine, and southern California were all represented as well as many points in between.

We had a wonderful panda presentation by Nate Wintle of PDX Wildlife who attended with his delightful 8 year old daughter Dee, who has been best friends with pandas since (before) she was born. Alas, the director of PDX Wildlife, Meghan Martin-Wintle, could not be there as she was in China supervising the incoming interns. Meg is also the mom of the delightful Dee, and with parents like this, it’s no wonder she is smart as a whip.

I have to tell you one of my favorite moments of the weekend…

I…um…strong armed Nate into buying a copy of The Pinky Defense for Dee, and she proceeded to read out loud, the story of KittySue and the Three Pandas. She got to the end, and looked a tad puzzled at the last panel:

pandas

What a lovely day for the 3 pandas to relax at home!

…and then she looked at the previous page:

kidding

Pandas are very misunderstood, in so many ways….

And then her eyes got really big and she said, “They ATE KittySue!!!!!!”

See what I mean about being smart?

Anyway, Speaking of Pinky…um…we’re always speaking of Pinky aren’t we…

Don’t ignore Princess Pinky!

Alas, there was no cookie balancing competition at the convention, but there was a bit of a scene at the Mexican restaurant where Babette’s many admirers vied for her attention!

Hey! It’s Groundhog Day

8 Replies

For years, I’ve been thinking I needed to write a Groundhog Day ‘toon, and wouldn’t you know, I don’t start thinking about it until…you guessed it, Groundhog Day. This is also the day that I traditionally procrastinate sending out holiday cards until, and then don’t do that either. So sue me. No, don’t! Just kidding!!!! People ask me how I find the time to be an incredibly gifted painter, write hilarious cartoons, and wrestle 5 acres of Northwest woods into submission. The answer is, I don’t do a lot of things that I probably should do, like clean the house and wash the dishes on some sort of regular basis.

To this I say, do you want to have new cartoons to read each week, or would you rather be able to eat off my bathroom floor without contracting a vile disease or swallow a hairball?

I thought so. You’re welcome.

And it was ever thus….

Meihem, not Mayhem.

Well, they did hang their coats up.

If I have but one life to live, let me give it for a cuppycake.

And for all you brave souls who listened to HWMNBN’s SOTU address. Congratulations. You are far braver than I am. In truth, by this weekend, I will probably have watched it in tiny bits and pieces that I can endure without running out of the house screaming in terror. I am keeping informed, as best I can, but there are limits to my endurance. I call my Senators and Congressman regularly. I’m trying to bring light into the world through art and humor. And I’m going to watch as many panda videos as I can.

Viva les Pandas!

It’s Here! The Pinky Defense!

10 Replies

Well, it’s time for all Pinky, all the time! How is that different from the rest of the time, you may well ask. Um…I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure it is. Any way, stop interrupting me! I’m trying to get the word out that Pinky’s new book (book 8 of the Panda Chronicles) What does Pinky have to say about all this?

“Ebbryone Needs to CLAP LOUDER!!!!!”

That’s what Pinky would say. and now, to refresh your memory about just what is The Pinky Defense, here are a few ‘toons that are in the book:

pinky defense

Would YOU believe this panda?

pinky defense

Isn’t that the whole point of being presydent? Pinky.

lawyers

Maybe Mommee Mei might have some influence over Pinky…dream on!

NSA

Did you want to rephrase that last statement?

So run, don’t walk, and get your copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 8: The Pinky Defense!

Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet?

15 Replies

You would think that Pinky would have figured out how to avoid Mommee Mei’s resolutions lists by now, but you would be mistaken. Fortunately, all she ever suggests for Bubba is that he chew his food well. Meanwhile, maybe Ping Ping will resolve to learn a few words in English, but on the other hand, I think he is very expressive, even with his limited vocabulary.

Pinky: “Why do I need resolutions when I’m already perfect?”
A fair question, indeed!

resolutions

Pinky: “rules are for other pandas.”

The files for the latest volume of The Panda Chronicles: The Pinky Defense are being reviewed even as we speak. After putting together 8 books of the cartoons, it finally seems (I say seems, because…) to be going smoothly, with no issues flagged by the printer, so I think it’s high time I reveal the cover, don’t you?

Thanks again to my Twitter friend from across the pond, @law_geek, for suggesting this title. The community of panda fans is awesome in the extreme!

Day 30: 31 Days of Pandas

8 Replies

Day 30????? Do you know what that means? There is only One. More. Day. of 31 Days of Pandas!!!!

How could it come to such an abrupt, bitter end? Where will we find the pandas we need and crave??? Um..Hey! it’s not like I’m going anywhere! Panda satire will be right here where you left it! Of course you could have your own 31 days of Pandas, or even 131 days of pandas if you had all of the Panda Chronicles books in your home library!!

Meanwhile, we intercepted several communiques from the inbox of Princess Pinky, who is hard at work (really? No, just kidding!) on her latest literary triumph, The Panda Chronicles Book 8: The Pinky Defense. We think it bears (!) careful study!

Dear Princess Pinky!

Good luck!

Sounds mighty suspicious, if you ask me! But now, let’s read some ‘toons! And because I love you, here is the ENTIRE story of Pinky, Bubba, and the Canadian Twins!

Bubba: but why should I be in trubble?

I’ll talk! I’ll talk!

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!

See you in January back on our regular schedule, new ‘toons on Sunday and Wednesday, and encore presentations on Fake Facts Friday. You like it? I invented all those words!
