The Anticipation is KILLING me! and now….

….for the EXCITING conclusion of A Bear in the Air, Mr Wu’s big adventure, (of course there will be an epilogue on Wednesday, but at least now you know all the gory details!)!!!!

OK! Here it is!!!!

Bet ya didn't see this coming...or maybe you did.

Bet ya didn’t see this coming…or maybe you did.

The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire would like to thank the Sooperpanna for agreeing to appear in this saga of adventure, impending disaster, and panda kindergarten perfidy.  We would also like to point out that no pandas were harmed in the drawing of this cartoon.  Stay tuned for Wednesday’s epilogue, as well as a guest appearance by the panda kindergarten on Rumpydog’s blog later this week. On Friday we will post links to the entire saga, so that you can read the whole series in order, in case you missed any of them.

till then,

Be the Bear!

Are all Fridays Fabulous, or just Furry fridays?

The Weather Guessers are giving us one more day of good weather, and then we go back to life as we know it really to be here in the upper left hand corner. Yes, I’m talking about rain, and then perhaps some showers.

Sigh.

Next week Mr. Wu wraps up his big adventure, A Bear of the Air.  Just maybe I might have Mr. Wu Monday as well as Mr. Wu Wednesday.  Wouldn’t that be fun?  Also the threats from people who are getting tired of cliffhangers, well…let’s just say we hear you and feel your pain.

But until Monday, here are a couple of my favorites to entertain you for the weekend!

Be the Bears!

Bob, Bob, Bob...when will you ever learn?

Love the hobby horse on a spring (inspired by a REAL photo of a REAL  panda on one.

Don’t you just love the panda kindergarten?

Have a great weekend!

Huzzah! it is Mr Wu Wednesday (of COURSE I didn’t forget!)

Oh my, Mr Wu is in quite the pickle, is he not?  A “generous” gift from the panda kindergarten, a young panda’s thirst for adventure:  These things can go terribly wrong, don’t you think?  But why are we standing around talking about this?  Lets see how Mr Wu’s adventure, A Bear in the Air, is progressing!

PS: hey…who is that little panda down in the corner…I thought that….

I’m Late, I’m Late…for a Vewy Important Date!

So many of you have been sitting on the edges of your seats, wondering, what is going to happen to Mr Wu? Does a 9 month old cubby know how to fly, let alone LAND an airplane?  What was the panda kindergarten thinking when they gave Mr Wu an airplane, and then didn’t go with him on the first flight of The Fuzzy Cubby????? Will Mr Wu ever get out of detention when he gets home?  Are there about cuppycakes in solitary confinement?

So.

To set your minds at ease, we here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire have been working day and night to find a solution to this dilemma.  Pandas are standing by to help, and in fact, we have had an offer from a very famous panda, who has space shuttle experience!  Tune in on Wednesday to see who this mystery panda could be.

But for now…

Nothing like a snappy graphic to um...solve a problem!

Mehitabel Strikes Back!

Things are hopping here at panda central…paintings to paint, cartoons to draw, airplanes to build!  But in all the confusion, Mehitabel has taken the reigns (for today, at least) although the pandy kindy have a little project they are working on with the Wu self, so I think they will be on the loose very shortly!

Who will let the panda out of the bag!

Let the WHAT out of the bag?

Let the WHAT out of the bag?

Cats!   When you care to send the very best!

It’s Mr Wu Wednesday and off we go with episode 2 of Mr Wu’s new adventure!

Off we go…into the wild blue….oh was that a clue?  What is in THAT BOX that the panda kindergarten brought for Mr Wu? Could it be……

Will the panda kindergarten get it put together before Bai Yun gets home?

Did they read the assembly instruction manual? Do they know what they are doing???!!!!!!?  I can hardly stand the wait!!!!!

To see what happens next, tune in next week for Mr Wu’s Big Adventure, Part the third. right here at our regularly scheduled blog.

Bwahahahaha!

And while you are in the neighborhood, check out my new post on Nothing Overlooked!

Where No Cat Has Gone Before….A Journey to the Center of….Bob’s Brain

It is a really um…dangerous thing to suggest things to me sometimes, because you never know where they will lead.  Today the “responsibility” lies with panda videographer extraordinaire, Doxiemom Pandamonium, for carelessly stating, “Boy I’d like to be inside your brain for a day.”  Ask, and sometimes, you shall receive!

What's that stuff getting all over my paws?  Oh...it's frosting!

What’s that stuff getting all over my paws? Oh…it’s frosting!

Remember, if a news story is the sort that would make it to Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me on NPR, it is probably something we can make fun of with pandas!  Feel free to leave news stories or suggestions in the comments.  I won’t use them all, but you never know how a chance remark will react in a brain filled with cream cheese frosting.  Huzzah!

And if you haven’t signed up for our monthly (more or less) newsletters, just click here or on the button near the top of the right hand column!  I’ve got plans for sharing all sorts of things that don’t make it on to the blog, as well as discounts on books that will only be shared with newsletter subscribers.  We won’t share your address (not even with the panda kindergarten!) and we won’t flood your inbox constantly.  Just once in a while.

Tune in Wednesday for the next episode of Mr. Wu’s newest adventure!

Till then, be the bear!

PS: I’m pretty sure that you don’t get into a panda’s brain just by getting really, really tiny and crawling in through their ear.  Science was never my strong suit.

 

OMG it’s Fabulous Furry Friday

Well, here it is, Friday at last and I completely forgot to have something ready to speed you to your weekend, with dreams of pandas dancing in your brain.  What was I thinking?  To be honest, the cold that wouldn’t die is still making my head a little fuzzier than usual, but fortunately, there are many pandas in reserve!

But I do like the Friday pandas to be relevant, so today I give you the prologue to the Shakesbear pandas, as I am getting ready (finally!) to start working on some of the Shakespeare for Pandas plays that my brother wrote last year as part of a 31 plays in 31 days project.

Shakespeare is currently on my mind, because Whidbey Island’s very own Island Shakespeare Company is getting ready to launch a very exciting project.  Stay tuned for news of this exciting development!

After all, the playings the thing....

After all, the playings the thing….

The panda kindergarten will, of course, have a central role in the proceedings!

Have a wonderful weekend and Be the Bear!

Huzzah! It’s Mr. Wu Wednesday!!!!!

Happy panda dance, it is Mr. Wu Wednesday and the beginning of a NEW adventure for Mr. Wu, with his …um…good friends, the panda kindergarten.  Please don’t tell his mom, ‘kay?

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

This cartoon answers the age old question: is there a child alive that actually listens to what their mother tells them?

By the way, if you haven’t signed up for the Pandyland News Newsletter yet, what are ya waiting for?  It comes out approximately when ever I remember to write it (and I am figuring it out a little better, so as to eliminate those pesky newsletters to the wrong lists…oops!) and contains news and information about my books and special offers not available anywhere else.  Just sayin’ you might want to check it out.  It’s free to subscribe and you can easily unsubscribe if you think it is a complete waste of time.  And, if you haven’t gotten the two (2!!!!) Panda Chronicles Books yet, it has a nifty discount through the month of April, which is only available to newsletters subscribers.

Be the Bear!
