Sorry, it’s been another crazy busy week, but I’m making progress on exhibition stuff, and hopefully I’ll have a bit more relaxed week next week. Hahahahahahahahaha!
Since we are coming up on Mr. Wu’s birthday season next month, I thought I’d share one of the Mr. Wu Stories, with more coming in the next couple of weeks. I can’t believe he’s going to turn 14 this July!!!! That does not seem possible.
Here is one of Mr Wu’s early encounter with the Panda Kindergarten…
Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?“Up in the Air, Junior Pandas…”Nothing like a snappy graphic to um…solve a problem!May Day! May Day!Mr wu’s cousin, da SooperpannaBet ya didn’t see this coming…or maybe you did.I just had to include something with that provocative “rear panda view” you know!
I should probably quit pretending that I can get 2 ‘toons done in a week for right now, but I am ever hopeful. Fortunately I have SO MANY relevant ‘toons from Mittens’ first Reign of Terror that you would hardly know they are re-runs…um…I mean Encore Presentations!
Here are some ‘toons featuring Nixon’s Ghost, who I bet is going to have things to say any day now.
Amazing how relevant this still is 6 years later…
And of course, the Lunar New Year is about to start and it’s The Year of the Fire Horse. We haven’t done a new ‘toon for that (it’s coming, I swear) but here’s who was riding the range 12 years ago when the Horse Year last circled around!
Huzzah! It’s The year of Pandas on Horsies!
I bet Pinky’s girls, Four and Five will be getting ready for their Panda Chronicles Debut with their Year of the Fire Horse Presentation!
Pinky: nobody said anything about FIRE!!!
Be the Bear Bob T is trying to keep grinning and bearing it Panda
…much faster than I expected. As such, I think it’s time to run a couple of my holiday classics this week and next, in the hopes I’ll have a little time and space to write a NEW Christmas Classic™️ before the actual week of Christmas. The idea just popped into my head, as all the best ideas do. Well, I guess we’ll see, won’t we?
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this encore presentation of…
It’s a WUnderful Life!
Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.Wu is a good bear at heart….Bee the bear tells it like it isWhat part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!You won’t like this, Mr Wu!Those darn cats!Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!A bear and his mom…together forever?
I had so much fun re-reading this story and I hope you did too! This was one of my favorite stories to make a Panda Parody. Maybe because I’ve seen the original so many times…
and remember…
EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS, A PANDA GETS A CUPPY CAKE!!!
Be the Bear Bob T it’s beginning to look a lot like Crispness…Panda
PostScript: in case you were wondering, despite the fact that much of Western Washington State is currently suffering severe flooding, Whidbey Island is high and..well, damp, but not under water. We do have the possibility of power outages with the softened ground from all the rain, not to mention some of the bluff areas are probably going to slide. But we are not under evacuation orders and suffering the destruction of the raging rivers over on the mainland. So far we are okay on the island. I hope my western WA readers are safe. check in, okay?
And you know what that means! Our annual Halloween re-broadcasts (i.e. Encore Presentations) of A Halloween Carol (starring Pinky and Mr. Wu!) and The Wizard of Wu! (Cue loud cheering)
First up is Part one of A Halloween Carol, with Part 2 coming on Tuesday.
Bubba’s first feature role! and the first use of the term “Worky Sit”you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?Hey! who said Wu could poof things?One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?
Oh man! What is going to happen next? Stay ‘tooned till next week, but first, I hope you enjoy this little interlude ‘toon of Bubba as a baby cubby!
He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!
I hope you are enjoying these encore presentations of our favorite Spooky Season ‘toons! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Panda On! Bob T they can’t shutdown the Panda Chronicles Panda
Well, I didn’t get a new ‘toon done for today, but fortunately, the deep archives of the Panda Chronicles has something for everyone! Since I carelessly forgot Mr. Wu’s birthday last week (is it a sign of encroaching senility? Or maybe too much insane NooZ about you know who!!!!)we’ll instead have the ENTIRE story of Mr Wu’s adventure at the circus with the Panda Kindergarten!
Anyway, Here is one of my favorite Wu Self stories for your enjoyment!
Fanmail from some Flounder?Voices in the night, a ladder, a letter…adios…“Are we there, yet?”This is a case for…Inspector Panda!
I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane with the one, the only Real Wu Self!
Till next time… Be the Bear Bob T guess whose Birthday is coming up soon & if you didn’t guess Pinky, you’re wrong Panda
…and I can’t believe I forgot Mr. Wu’s birthday on the 29th! I am so ashamed! He turns 13 this year and you know what that means!
Today, I am a bear!
And now for today’s ‘toon…
In penance for missing Mr. Wu’s birthday, I shall forgo the cake, and just eat a bowl of frosting! Happy birthday, Wu Bear! You are still the best. Sorry that those other pandas stole your birthday for themselves!
Be the Bear Bob T I can’t remember everything Panda
Xiao LiWu the little gift that keeps on giving, Mr. Wu to his nannies and his friends has completed 12 trips around the sun today! Mr. Wu was the first panda I watched from the time he was a tiny cubby. While I was already a committed panda fan by then, he was the first real panda that I incorporated in to the stories here at The Panda Chronicles.
In honor of his birthday on Monday, July 29th, today’s presentation will be a little panda palooza of early Wu-toons! Pandarella will resume on Thursday!
Here we go!
“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “Yo ho ho and a bottle of BooBeer!Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?Too soon, too soon, a Wu and his mom will go their separate ways…
I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane with Mr. Wu! Of course, around this time Pinky and the Meihems had appeared on the scene, and Pinky’s quest for world domination had begun.
By the way, it is also the birthdays of the only surviving triplets, who served as Pinky’s minions during her first run for the White House in 2016.
What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?Minion security: you can’t be too careful.Thanks a lot, Leslie. I think you gave Pinky this idea.
Till next time! Be the Bear Bob T pass the cuppycakes Panda
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?
I hope you enjoyed this encore presentation of A Halloween Carol. It is still one of my favorites, with Pinky at her Pinky-est! You can still catch up with The Wizard of Wu over at Substack. You know you want to!
I hope you are enjoying the October Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu over on Substack! I thought that, for the sake of being less confusing, I would have our annual re-broadcast of A Halloween Carol right here!
Get out your poppy-corn, put your feetsies up and enjoy the show!
Bubba’s first feature role!you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?Hey! who said Wu could poof things?One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?
Uh oh! Has Pinky’s crimes of the past come back to haunt her? ‘Toon in next time for the exciting conclusion of A Halloween Carol! And don’t forget to check out The Wizard of Wu over on Substack!
