Yes, me hearties and fans of Mr. Wu! It’s time for another episode of the piratical adventures of Mr. Wu! Arrrgh!
Can looting and plundering be far behind?
Yo ho ho Huzzah! Oddly enough, I’m listening to a story on the radio about pirates as I write this post. Arrgh and avast me pandys! (Strangely, there was no mention of panda involvement in the story of pirates on the Carolina coast. Go figure.)

As some of you might know, we occasionally lend a paw to our friends at Pandas International to help them with their work for real (as opposed to cartoon) pandas. They are getting ready for their annual Black and White Auction, which takes place on Saturday February 23rd, 2013. Last year our cartoon “when pandas have potlucks” graced the program insert, and this year, they requested that I do something on the theme of “enrichment items” for pandas, or what we call, “Toys for Pandas”
I just should not be allowed out into polite society.
I am such a dork.
Here’s the info on the auction, just in case you are in the neighborhood, or want to bid from a distance:
Pandas International Hosts Its 13th Annual Chinese New Year’s Dinner
Pandas International will host its 13th Annual Chinese New Year’s Dinner and silent auction to benefit the Giant Pandas in China. The dinner will be held in Denver, Colorado on Saturday, February 23, 2013. This year’s dinner will focus on purchasing enrichment items for all of the captive Giant Pandas at the Bifengxia Panda Reserve in Sichuan, China. Enrichment items consist of jungle gyms; tire swings, and various other toys to keep the Giant Pandas of all ages active and healthy throughout their entire captive lifespan. Pandas International relies on the donations from small businesses in order to make each year’s dinner a success. They are extremely thankful for the help of Anne Belov and her whimsical Panda cartoons and for her help in designing their dinner programs for the second year in a row. For more information on attending or donation please e-mail Pandas International at info@pandasinternational.org.

Mr. Wu is growing up, and if last weeks videos have shown us anything, it’s that Mr. Wu has a lot of potential to be a fully contributing member of the panda kindergarten. Never before have I seen a panda cub get a horsie ride from mom!
Oh that panda kindergarten!

The Academy Awards are just around the corner and Bob has been working on a new project to wow the judges and the crowd. Don’t tell Babette, but it doesn’t appear that there is a part in the movie for her.
The Life of PIE….get it? *chortle chortle*

I just can’t resist! Wu is the perfect panda child…precocious, plump, and poofy! (not to mention immanently cuddlable!)
After his brilliant debut a few weeks ago, and the discovery of his newfound talent for choreography, it was high time Mr. Wu gave a press conference, wouldn’t you think?
Thank you all for coming! Buy my book here!
We expect great things from Mr. Wu! And for those of you who have become addicted to Mr. wu’s appearances here, never fear! As long as Mr. Wu continues to be cute (and, like, is THAT ever going to stop? I don’t think so,) we will bring his antics to you here, at The Panda Chronicles!
Stay tuned on Friday, when we reveal secret HISTORICAL panda photos!

Just in case you were wondering, here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we really hate Monday mornings. Why? because we have to get out of our nice cozy den and go to work. Not to mention that it is 40 degrees and raining. On the other hand, we get to bring you the latest in Panda Satire, so it’s not all bad.
One of Bob’s most endearing qualities is his willingness to believe in the inherent goodness of the panda kindergarten.
Later this week we may have some extraordinary panda history news for you. I’m not going to tell you what it is, but if you know the connection between a New York dress designer, the Brookfield Zoo, and Taxis, you may have a clue to the subject of this news flash.

The incomparable Doxiemom Pandamonium sent me this link to one of her videos starring the fabulous Mr Wu, playing with his leaf. This is where Mr Wu, an up and coming choreographer, got his idea for his composition “Dances wif Weaf” Mr Wu is one of the youngest pandas to participate in the “Putting Pandas to Work Program” which trains young pandas for useful employment once they graduate from panda kindergarten. Here’s the link.
And here’s my cartoon that was inspired by this video, in case you missed it:
“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “
Happy Saturday,
