31 Days of Pandas: Day 30~It’s almost over!

What a great 31 Days of Pandas this has been! I hope you’ve had fun and that at least for a few moments you forgot about the complete s*#*show was going on in our nation’s capitol. Oh…um..sorry. I didn’t mean to remind you.

Hey! Look over there! Pandas!

Sad Turtle, Too Much McConnell has much to answer for.

Wasn’t there something during the campaign of 2016 about NOT using private emails and devices?

Love in the Time of Mittens (which, quite frankly, is a lot like the time of cholera)

And finally, we end up where we began this panda-fun month!

31 Days of Pandas. You know you want this!

We all kind of feel like this, Pinky.

Panda like it’s 1999!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 28/ Year in Review~October

Well, well, well. HWMNBN has shut down the government. My sympathy goes out to the 100’s of thousands of people who won’t be getting a paycheck until this is resolved. Does #Individual1 care? I’m sure he hasn’t given it a thought. He seems to think the money that is “saved” by not paying people can be used for his wall.

But we have more important fish to fry. And of course, I mean, looking back at what was piquing the interest of the forces of panda satire, in the month of October. Has it really only been 2 months?

Let’s see, shall we? Shall we perhaps remember another unindicted co-conspirator?

Can’t ghosts have opinions too?

Um…maybe he could be Individual 1’s Chief of Staff!

“And they called ME a crook!”

Stop the chaos and VOTE!!!

Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!

Panda on!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 27/ Pinky in Wonderland Episode 30

Oh my! I have survived power outages, the beginnings of the goobermint shutdown, and the destruction of the rule of law. If you haven’t watched SNL’s “It’s a Wonderful Trump” do it now! It’s almost as good as “It’s a WUnderful Life” (It doesn’t have pandas, but hey! not everyone can have pandas.)

I am so happy that all of you are here, following along with The Panda Chronicles! It is my privilege to share these ‘toons with you every week, and plan to continue until they drag me away. Hopefully, it won’t come to that, but I can’t imagine that I’ll “tone it down.”

Right??????

Anyway…let’s get on with the final episode of…

Pinky in Wonderland!!!!!!

Mebbee Bubba isn’t going to let Pinky push him around anymore. Yeah. Right.

Panda on!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 16/ June Year in Review

Just think, in only six months, we will be heading for the longest day of the year, instead of the longest night. Will Mittens still be living in the White House with his crime syndicate family? Will Pinky stage a hostile takeover? Will Bubba figure out how to lock his door so that Pinky won’t barge in? Stay tuned!

We can’t tell you what will happen next year, but we can tell you what happened last year!

reality

Do we HAVE to go?

Things are about as real as they can get.

Move over Ping! I’m coming in too!

news

Pinky: i keep telling ebbryone you should have voted for me!

Pinky: “if i want you to have an opinion, i’ll give it to you!”

I can’t believe I started Pinky in Wonderland way back in June!

wonderland

Curiouser and curiouser…

wonderland

Pinky: mommee is making jokes again!

Was that Mr. Bun????

Sometimes being spontunerous can get you in over your head, Pinky!

Don’t forget to tune in Monday for Episode 24 of Pinky in Wonderland. If you have just arrived here, go back to this post and this post to get all caught up with our story!

Panda On!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 15/ Beware The Ides of Pandas

There’s a fun game going around on Twidder this evening, that we are calling I’d LOVE to be White House Chief of Staff but… To play, you come up with a reason you can’t be WH CoS. Extra points for extreme trivialness and frivolity.

Let’s play, shall we?

I’d love to be White House Chief of Staff, but I have to arrange my garbage alphabetically.
I’d love to be White House Chief of Staff, but I need to turn my toothbrushes counterclockwise every 15 minutes.
I’d love to be White House Chief of Staff, but I seem to have eaten something that doesn’t agree with me.
I’d love to be White House Chief of Staff, but I have to rearrange my sock drawer.

Add your reason for not not being able to be WH Chief of Staff to the comments!

And now, for the Year in Review; May Edition!

You knew this story would end like this.

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

This was one of my favorite little series of the year, and yes, I have really done this, although maybe not the part about the World Cookie Balancing Competition circuit…

Did I mention I broke the world record in cookie balancing?

There are rules here!

The roar of the crowd, the smell of a freshly baked cookie…

And how are Yip and Jip adjusting to Calgary?

pandas

“i din’t know we has to use forks!”

“I’ll have one of these, and one of these, and one of these, and one of…”

The Mommee Security Agency is always watching

What a happy day, when Six and Sebben got their new Panda Scout uniforms!

Cuteness abounds!

Panda on!

Will Fridays ever be Fabulous and Furry Again?

We survived the midterms and while we didn’t get everything on our wish list, we did get some of it, most importantly Democratic control of the House of Representatives. That’s not just chopped liver, I’m telling you!

Meanwhile, we are gearing up for 31 Days of Pandas and I think I have a plan! Meanwhile…

Let’s scamper down memory lane, with Pinky and her minions, who just turned FOUR years old last week!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Triple Trouble indeed!

What are Pinky and her minions getting up to?

Maybe you shouldn’t plug that many things into an extension cord, Pinky.

did someone turn out the lights?

And Zoonooz is on the job!

Cause and effects are very complicated concepts for baby pandas, don’t you think?

Zoonooz is on the job. Can you say “cover up”?

Pinky for what??????

Bob wouldn’t try anything sneaky, would he? Would he??????? Ah…such innocent times…

Panda on!

PS: For those of you who have been following the news in Pittsburgh, my friend was recently moved from ICU to a regular hospital room, so I am more optimistic, cautiously so. Thanks to all who have asked.

Just because Halloween is over…

…it doesn’t mean we can’t have a round up of Halloweenie ‘toons from the past.

But first…do you know what happens this weekend?

Bob explains daylight savings time to the panda kindergarten

spring back, fall forward?

And now, I think this is the very first Halloween ‘toon I did…

Panda Kindergarten halloween party

Trick or Trick!!!!!!!

Darn those Meihems!!!!

Okay, so this one is not strictly Halloween, but still…

Pinky

Well, who did you THINK she would enlist in her final attempt to stop Mittens the cat? also not really Halloween, but VERY scary, none the less!

all pandas eve

Okay. That was just WAY too scary.

scary

Ha ha! That Pinky is so clever!

It’s Halloweenie! Trick or Trick!

We need a little fluff and humor, and as it is the favorite holiday of pandas everywhere, let’s just dive right in!

Ping already has his costume!

Make sure Pinky doesn’t try to steal Bubba and Ping’s candy!

Need to see last year’s Halloween ‘toon? See it here!

Panda On!

Update on my friend in Pittsburgh: I finally got in touch with a mutual friend, and learned that his wife was not present during the shooting. He is still in critical condition, but they are expecting him to recover. It will be a long, hard recovery, but there is hope. Thanks for everyone’s concern.

Holiday Classic* A Halloween Carol

(*Well, it IS a classic at the Panda Chronicles, OKAY???????)

Yes, It’s time for my favorite (okay, one of my favorites) holiday classic encore presentations, A Halloween Carolwith apologies to Charles Dickens. Something about this retelling of A Christmas Carol always tweaks my funny bone. Starring Princess Pinky (of course) (#ClapLouder) with appearances by The Mayhem Twins, Mommee Mei, The Wu Self, and in his very first feature presentation, Babee Bei Bei Bubba!

So, grab some popcorn or mebbee a cuppycake, and some boo cola, and sit back and enjoy….A Halloween Carol – with apologies, yadda yadda yadda

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?

halloween

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

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 our Encore Presentation of A Halloween Carol! Tune in again next week for more from The Panda Chronicles, and if you don’t have all of the books of our collected comics, do visit our book page and take care of that right now!

Is now a good time to remind you:
