Pandas: Bears of Quality

Not to be confused with koala-tea (which mercifully is not strained) quality is something pandas have lots of.  They are the quintessential perfect house pet because they are so quiet. They do not quack, quibble, nor quaffle through quagmires. Rarely quarrelsome, unless they are queasy; when questioned they are quick witted.

Today is brought to you by the letter “Q”  Thanks to the folks at the A to Z! You guys are the bears. Today, we feature Mr. Wu as he goes off on a quest!  Want to read the whole Wizard of Wu saga? Get The Book of Wu or one of our other collections of The Panda Chronicles!

It’s P-P-P-P-Panda day!

I have been waiting
so.
very.
long….

for today…this peripatetic population of pandas, these paragons of pageantry, pandas at parties, pandas in pairs, panda panda panda! Pandas with their palpable need to pampered, pandas in pursuit of pomp, pandas having pancakes while participating in panicked  PANDAMONIUM!!!!!

Here come the pandas!

What’s a little pandamonium among friends?

Princess Pinky, that paradigm of >Poof< , never paranoid nor parochial, permanently partaking of pop-overs, pretty as a picture.

Pandas….brought to you by the letter”P”

Never say "No" to a Pinky!

Never say “No” to a Pinky!

Pairs of pandas in pajamas…

Atlanta Twins have a fight

Sweet dreams, little bears! (editors note, this cartoon was drawn before Pinky poofed the Cublanta twins and turned them into girls.)

…pandas partaking in pursuits of the poetical….

panda poetry slam

The cake abides….

and last, but hardly least, perky panda pirates!

An explorer's work is never done.

An explorer’s work is never done.

Thanks again to the A to Z for hosting this monthlong panda-thon, not to mention Cordelia’s Mom, Still for inviting  the pandas over for a guest post.  (I swear I’ll have the carpets cleaned. Sorry about all that frosting and the picture window.)

And have I mentioned that “P” also stands for Pandamorphosis?  Just sayin. (stay tuned for news as it appears!)

Keep Being the Bears!

“I” is for Inspector Panda

Well, OF COURSE it is.

Inspector Panda, that insouciant investigator of illicit idiots, that ironic icon of mystery and intrigue, living the idyllic existence while idling indolently on islands of igneous rock, while inscribing on his ipand and listening to his ipawd, and of course, is in touch with his inner panda.

Gee, I like “I”,  which brings you today’s offering in the A to Z Challenge!

Inspector Panda, Bob T. Panda

..in which we introduce Inspector Panda….

Inspector Panda says, “Know the signs of cuppycake dependency”

Inspector Panda has appeared in several of the panda stories, including Mr Wu Joins the Circus. I hope to start working on an extended Inspector Panda story soon.

This is a case for...Inspector Panda!

This is a case for…Inspector Panda!

I’ll be in touch!

Be the Bear,

“F” is for Forgetful

Finally a letter that is a feature of my life at the moment. As a fastidious furry friend once said, “I am smarter than the average bear” right before he stepped in front of a fast Ferrari and found his finale.

Fortunately, our fine fuzzy fictional princess is with fantastic and fabulous friends. They shall fly over the freeways at speeds not for the faint-hearted.  Meanwhile over at the A to Z, we find frenetic formulating of this fanciful format, as we fantasize about frosting. For Real.  My A to Z pick of the day is the Artsy Gourmet, who you can fine here!

Fast furry friends...for now

Fast furry friends…for now

This cartoon is based on the real life antics of the fickle fuzzy fractious panda princess as she explores the art of tree climbing.

Farewell,

It is De Day of Dramatis Bearsonae

What with all the delightful day-trippers descending on The Panda Chronicles to visit during the A to Z Debacle (okay, it’s not really a debacle, but I needed a word that started with “D” – tomorrow it will be an extravaganza) I thought it a good idea to acquaint you with some of the major players here, the Dramatis Bearsonae, so to speak:

But first, a word from our sponsor: Today’s post is brought to you by the letter “D”

Our Dominant Doyenne of Discipline (or the lack there-of): Mehitabel the cat! (Huzzah!)

The panda kindergarten is "busy" ...can you call back later?

The panda kindergarten is “busy” …can you call back later?

Next up, the Dynamic Director of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, Put your paws together for Bob….T…..PANDA!!!!!!

Song of the pandateers.

And of course, The Panda Chronicles wouldn’t be what it is today, if not for that Delegation of Devious Delinquents, THE PANDA KINDERGARTEN!!!!!!!

...if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da-  AAARGH!  I can't stop!!!!!

…if I were a panda, yadda dah dah da- da- da- AAARGH! I can’t stop!!!!!

And everyone’s MOST favorite Descendant of the San Diego Dynasty, let’s give a big howdy-doo to MR WU!!!!!!!!!!

Yo ho ho and a bottle  of BooBeer!

Mr Wu in his first dramatic role

And just because I like this cartoon soooooooo much,

Today, you are a bear.

Today, you are a bear.

My A to Z pick of the day is Rebekah Loper. Huzzah! Join me tomorrow as I continue to challenge myself to find words through the alphabet that relate to pandas!

Meanwhile, back at the Pandamorphosis ranch, things are moving ahead with publication to come later this month!  stay tuned!

And tomorrow we continue with our cast of characters list with The Cublanta Twins, Princess Pinky, Babette de Panda, Bee (the bear) and Inspector Panda

It’s Fabulous Furry Friday once again….

"Wu calls his dance, 'Ode to a Weaf' "

“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “

Well!

Good news panda fans, and especially fans of Mr. Wu! Despite being crazy busy with my Kickstarter project (the funding part is done and now the real work begins) I also managed to compile and format all the cartoons for The Book of Wu, the 4th book in The Panda Chronicle series. Wow!

So, in honor of the book being finished and scheduled to appear on Amazon in the next week, I decided that Fabulous Furry Friday would bring you some highlights from the life of Mr. Wu today.

Whatever could be in the box the panda kindergarten is delivering to Mr. Wu?

Woe is Wu!

Huzzah! Hope this little bit of something Wu gets you ready for the weekend! Till next week, when we re-join Inspector panda as he ferrets out the culprit in The Case of the Purloined Highway!

As we move into Academy Awards weekend…

…it’s time to revisit this year’s Pandy Awards!

Mr. Wu still has not gotten over the existence of his new girl cousins, let alone that he was not chosen as cubby of the year. (We tried to explain that he wasn’t BORN in 2013, but he was not having any of that.)  Maybe when his book comes out, he will feel a little bit better. (More on The Book of Wu next week!)

Those girls are a force to be reckoned with.

And I’m sure you are happy to hear that my Kickstarter campaign for Pandamorphosis is coming to an end, but I have to tell you one more time, that it’s coming to an end! I hope you will consider supporting it, even for a dollar! Yes, you can do that.  Here’s one more image from the book to enjoy.

And now from our bears on the spot at the Winter Olympics

Wow, It has been wild around here this week.  We are having a great response Pandamorphosis has been getting over at Kickstarter, and then all day yesterday, I thought the power was going to go out, because there was so much wind and rain.

But the show must go on, as they say, and the Pandalympics are no exception.  Here we have the latest Olympic sport for the Panda Kindergarten!

hey, are dere any more cuppycakes?

hey, are dere any more cuppycakes?

And don’t forget, there are just 10 more days to have your purchases of all three Panda Chronicles books over on Amazon help to support Pandas International in their work with pandas.  For each panda Chronicle book that is bought this month, I will donate $1 to Pandas International. Come’on. Be the bear.

The panda Chronicles supports Pandas International

It’s just like the panda says! Buy my book and real pandas benefit!

Princess Pinky Returns in our Salute to the Olympics

Princess Pinky is standing behind me and stamping her little (adorable) foot in impatience, but she is just going to have to wait a few seconds longer, while I send out a HUGE round of thanks to my Pandamorphosis supporters who showed up in the first 24 hours of my 15 day Pledge drive.  I will be listing names on the roll of honor as soon as I get Pinky’s new cartoon posted.

Sheesh! Mr. Wu was never this bad. (Or was he?)

Sochi Winter Olympics, Pandas

I keep hearing the song “bears on the Run” going through my head…the ski run, that is!

Thank you all again for supporting the Kickstarter campaign to fund Pandamorphosis.  Oh, you haven’t done that yet?  You can click the link on the side bar or this one right here.

Funding is already at 48% in the first 24 hours. You guys are the bears!

It’s the Year of the Horsie!

What with getting ready for our Kickstarter project ready to launch this week, and putting the finishing touches on The Panda Chronicles Book 4: The Book of Wu, we are way behind with everything else.

But here at long last, we bring you The Panda Chronicles Salute to The Year of the Horsie, as only Mr. Wu, the Twinkies, and Princess Pinky can salute! (Does this mean that Wu, Twinkies, and Pinky are the part of the new panda kindergarten class? I think you know the answer to that!)

Huzzah! It’s The year of Pandas on Horsies!

Uh oh, it looks like Princess Pinky found the latest hiding place for her magical wand.  Better find a new, better hiding place, mom!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. We woke to snow this morning, almost a whole inch! Hey, don’t throw stuff at me! It’s not like we don’t have our own form of lousy weather here in the Northwest!

Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda

Stay tuned for some special announcements this week!
