Pinky in Wonderland Episode 4

2 Replies

Pinky makes the spontunerous decision to follow Mr. Bun down the rabbit hole! What is waiting for her there? Was this smart? Was this prudent? What will happen?

And, if you are just tuning in, you can start with episode 1 here.

Well, if you’d post the darn ‘toon, we’d all know, wouldn’t we???

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

And speaking of spontunerous, I thought that this comment posted by Jeannie on last Friday’s post had so much good information about voting, that it bears (bears! Get it?) repeating, in case you didn’t see Friday’s comments!

If you’re not a voter, make the spontunerous (that’s a Pinky word) decision to get registered and get ready for the November 2018 midterm elections! Pew Research says, “since 1842 the President’s party has lost seats in 40 of 43 midterms — the exceptions being 1934, 1998 and 2002.” Midterms are a great for “expressing dissatisfaction with the president’s performance or ensuring that his party doesn’t control all the levers of government.” http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/07/24/voter-turnout-always-drops-off-for-midterm-elections-but-why/

470 seats in the U.S. Congress (35 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for election on November 6, 2018. You know your vote can make an impact! https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Congress_elections,_2018

Voting can be overwhelming — so many boxes to check! Check out helpful voter tools like: vote411.org, factcheck.org, votesmart.org, votersedge.org, ballotready.org to make voting easier for yourself. Panda on!

And a big thanks to all who went out and marched yesterday to show your support for #FamiliesBelongTogether! I attended a small but sincere gathering in Coupeville WA, of just a couple hundred people, but I saw pictures from Seattle, DC, and many of the other large marches and they were awe inspiring! Dis. Will. Not. Stand!!!!!

#PandasResist!
Bob T we shall overcome Panda

PS: It’s Canada Day today! Happy Panada Day to our neighbors from the north! get those guest rooms ready in case…um…any of your panda satirist friends have to make a speedy retreat!

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

Oh, Canada
Our country’s in a state,
We don’t know how we
ever got to here,
our leader spewing hate.

Oh, Canada
We feel like such a fool.
Would it be okay,
for a little while
we come swim in your pool?

Oh Canada
Your PM is so grand.
Warmly welcoming
The world’s refugees,
a panda in each hand!

 

 

The Meihems Will Not Take This Lying Down

6 Replies

“No good can come of allowing other pandas to have opinions”

~Princess Pinky in her recent book: World Domination the Princess Pinky Way

Pinky might be of the opinion that the Meihems have a unfair advantage, what with being twins and more than a month older than Pinky. She could possibly have a point, because from the beginning, they have given as good as they’ve gotten, at least when it comes to Pinky’s shenanigans.

So is it any surprise that they have a response to Pinky’s most recent accusations?

I didn’t think so either!

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

A hearty welcome back to pandas fans who once were lost, but now have found their way back to the panda kindergarten, along with new readers who have found us for the first time!

Be the Bear!

Stay tuned for the premiere episode of our latest retold (panda) tales extravaganza starting this Wednesday, coming to an internet cafe near you! It’s a little story we are calling, Pinky in Wonderland! There will probably be a few breaks during the story as we catch up with our reading in the Lewis Carroll original! It’s been a while since I last read it so… also some other pandas were anxious to share their stories, including Zhen Zhen’s big adventure tale (based on a true story!) and the reveal of Bebe Maurice’s new outfit and chosen interest!

Stay right in your seat! You don’t want to miss a single frame!

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!

The News Is Just Too Newsy Today

Leave a reply

Won’t someone save us from all the news that keeps getting thrown at us from every direction? You Know Who (aka He Who Cannot Be Shamed) wants to start a fight with Canada? really?

I mean, if we are going to have world domination by a megalomaniac, it should be…

news

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

I mean, really…this kind of self serving rhetoric is kind of funny when a small, cartoon panda says it. The (Supposed) leader of the Free World? Um…not so much. I mean, you’d almost think You Know Who was getting his talking points from Pinky. I really don’t want to think about that.

Somebody, can’t we please just Panda On?
Bob T Panda

I guess we are going to have to feature our pandas to the north again on Fabulous Furry Friday to make sure Canada knows that sensible people still love them. (And would move there if we could!)

 

Bubba has the right idea…

Be afraid! be very afraid!

It’s really hard not to be. This very week You Know Who dissed Canada and Unka Justin (I mean really???? As If!!!) and after he had such a schmoopy meeting with France’s Macron just a few weeks ago. Allegedly, he needs to go play a few rounds of golf at an exclusive golf club prepare for his meeting with N Korea in Singapore. Auntie Loosilly, lock up the silverware and hide the pandas!

So how are the DC pandas preparing for whatever comes next?

Move over Ping! I’m coming in too!

Tune in again on Wednesday as Pinky gives her new viewpoint on ZooNooZ! and while you’re at it, buy some books!

Panda On!

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…

Do we HAVE to go?

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

The Pandas Debut in Calgary

2 Replies

Yes, Toronto’s loss is Calgary’s gain! The Pandas have packed their toys, driven the U-Haul across the prairies to the north and arrived in the fair city of Calgary! In honor of the debut of ERShun, Da Mao and the kids, Jia Pan Pan and Jia Yue Yue, I thought I’d rerun some of the ‘toons they starred in!

Let’s start at the beginning…

The beginning of Pinky’s campaign to get the Toronto Twins to endorse her presidential campaign, that is!

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.

Stay tuned next Friday for more stories of the Canadian panda twins (close personal friends of Unka Justin!)

The long, long, LONG Goodbye

10 Replies

So, you remember that story I started telling you about Bubba and Ping going off to say goodbye to Yip and Jip, just before they went off and moved to Calgary, and then some other stuff happened, like the Panda Olympics and Chinese New Years, and I started telling you some other stories? Well, think of it as kind of a long goodbye from Bubba to his good friends to the north, Jip and Yip.

To remind you of where we left them…

Packing is such a chore! And a surprise visit from a friend can make it go so much faster!

So, now that you remember where we left everyone…

long goodbye

The Long Goodbye, or “Toronto Farewell”

Stay tuned for more of our story on Sunday! And don’t forget Fabulous Furry Friday, coming to you on…um…now what day was that again?

Pinky Knows How to Work a Crowd

6 Replies

Recently, one of my friends in the Pandasphere suggested that Pinky would enjoy crowd surfing, and that got me thinking…

And speaking of a crowd…..

Way to go, to everyone who attended one of the March For Life events around the world. I was so glad to see there was a large turnout in DC, with estimates of over 1 million people! I think Seattle had a good turnout. Our local demonstration was small, but enthusiastic. Now we need to make sure all these potential new voters get registered and vote! The times they are a changing, indeed!

Meanwhile, what is Pinky up to?

crowd

Thank you to Anne Lane for this great idea!
