Part Two: A Halloween Carol

Huzzah! It’s time for the second half of that much loved holiday classic, A Halloween Carol! And not only are we in the Trick or Treat season, this month also boasts a Friday the Thirteenth! And it’s TODAY!!!!!!!! 

But it’s not even halfway through the month, so next Fabulous Furry Friday we will rebroadcast another of our favorite scary classics, everyone’s favorite, The Wizard of Wu!!! Are you excited now? Maybe this will take everyone’s mind of the Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Or Maybe Not. On with the show!!!!

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.

Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…

Was that list in small type, single spaced?

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?

Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

Wasn’t that fun? I hope nobody got really scared and threw their popcorn all over the room like…um…some pandas might have.

Be sure to tune in on Sunday for the next episode of Ping Ping Arrives at the Panda House, and of course for next Fabulous Furry Friday’s Fantastic Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu!

Do Not Attempt to Adjust Your Computer

Oh dear. I was so good whilst I was in China, I had scheduled all my posts in advance, and now that I am home, I have not gotten back in the habit. so apologies for this day’s ‘toon being a few hours later than usual. Just in case you thought that you were not receiving the emails!

But! We have a story to continue, so without further ado about pandas…

Ha ha! Oh that Pinky!

Don’t forget to tune in Friday for the final installments of that beloved holiday classic, A Halloween Carol! In case you want to review, here’s the first part!

…In Which Ping Ping Comes to Live at the Panda House

Everyone who is a fan of Winnie the Pooh stand up and wave your hands in the air. Huzzah! Remember when Kanga and Roo, and then Tigger first came to live in the enchanted forest? “Why has he come, and when is he leaving?” were questions that were bandied about by Certain Intolerant Inhabitants of the forest. (italics courtesy of A A Milne) It’s not all that different at the panda house and I’m pretty sure you might have a very good idea who might feel that way.

Exactly.

Let’s look in at the Panda House to see who has arrived now…

panda house

Be careful Ping Ping! The Panda House might not be…um…completely safe.

I’m still working on adding all my trip notes and pictures to the site, but re-entry to the real world is taking longer, with more moving parts than I had planned for.  Regardless, I hope to get some more posts and pictures posted on the Pandatastic Voyage page this week! Stay tuned!

I also used my entire back log of stored ‘toons while I was in China, so I am slowly starting to do an extra ‘toon here and there so that I am NEBBER late with your weekly ‘toons, because I’m just that kind of bear!

We’ll have more from Ping Ping later this week, as well as the exciting conclusion of A Halloween Carol, starring the junior pandas of the Panda Chronicles! Stay tuned!

halloween

One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?

Pinky and the Meihems work things out…

I bet everyone (especially their moms) are breathing a deep sigh of relief that Pinky and the Meihems are managing to work things out. Then there is the small issue of mebbe Bubba glowing in the dark (“just a liddle!!!!”) See? I told you everything would work out okay.

Well, at least in Pandyland they will.

PINKY AND THE MEIHEMS

All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????

Hey, has everyone heard about the butter sculpture of Justin Trudeau with two panda cubs on his lap? Maybe they can use it to make frosting after the festival is over. Yip and Jip’s second birthdays are just around the corner!

Why does mommee get so mad …?

Gee, it beats me, Pinky, could it have something to do with…oh…I don’t know, the fact that you tried to poof your little cousins into oblivion? Possibly? Who knows! Maybe she’s just being hormonal or something. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll figure out some way to get out of being grounded before too long. She can’t stay mad forever!

And Poor Bubba! Getting grounded after getting poofed while protecting the little twins! Life just isn’t fair sometimes.

But now, on with the show!

mad

I think I see a slight resemblance to a Pinky tantrum…just saying.

And just look at that smug look on Pinky’s face! She knows she won’t stay in trouble for very long!

Panda on!

Not so fast, young lady …

Was there any phrase that induced more terror and apprehension, when you thought you had snuck in the house late at night than those five little words: not so fast, young lady …Sigh… Just when you thought maybe you got away with something.

Let’s just take a look at the happy family scene, taking place right now at the National Zoo Panda House…

Bubba: wait! why am i in trubble?

Oh, and one of my personal favorites: Do you know how much trouble you’re in??? Heh!

The power of the POOF meets the power of Bubba

Remember what happened last Wednesday? You don’t? Well, you might want to scroll down past all those cute ‘toons about Six and Sebben, and review last Wednesday’s ‘toon. Go ahead, I’ll wait…  Are we up to date now? Okay then! Not unlike all the people with love and hope in their hearts, and a commitment to inclusion for all people, they are showing up and standing up to the forces of hate and evil. Bubba is standing up to the evil POOF that has emanated from Pinky’s wand. There is power in love and hope, people. We have to believe that.

WE have to believe that there is a place in this country for all people, no matter their religion, their race, their choice of who they love, of who they believe they are. There is no room for hate and exclusion. We are all endangered if the factions that want to harm and exclude those who are considered “other” are allowed to succeed in spreading hate.

I’m betting on the power of Bubba and the power of love…

power

But all the power in the world is nothing compared to the power of Mommee!

See you on Wednesday, for the next exciting episode of Being Endangered is SUCH a Curse!!!
Stay tuned!

Hey! Watch it with that magical wand …

Oh dear! If even Bubba can’t dissuade Pinky from her evil plan, what hope is there for the world? Um…It’s possible I’m thinking about another situation instead of this one, but you know, unchecked power is unchecked power, if you know what I mean. We could maybe use Pinky’s magical wand to get us out of this one. Come on Pinky…use your magical wand for good, not evil.

If only her big brother hadn’t sent Pinky that magical wand …

Did Pinky just poof her little brother? Stay tuned!

Wait! You can’t just leave us here!

What happened to Bubba?????

Um…I guess you’ll have to tune in Sunday to find out, won’t you?
Heh.

Bubba stands up to Pinky…

…but is he tough enough? He is an unlikely hero, to be sure. But his intentions are good and his heart is pure. He would do anything to defend his small cousins, Six and Sebben. But is Bubba a match for Pinky when she’s really, really mad? And what about her magical wand? It’s really powerful, you know!

We are about to find out if Bubba is made of something tougher than frosting!

Oh Bubba! Be careful!!!!

Oh no! What’s going to happen next? I guess you’ll have to tune in and find out, won’t you? Bwahahahahaha!

Panda On!
