The Deleted Interview Question

Former President Nixon was famous for (among other things) bringing pandas to the United States from China. He was also famous (or is that infamous?) for a missing 18 minutes of recording tape, when the Watergate break-in was being discussed.

Here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we are thrilled to bring you another segment of here-to-fore missing public document. We are, of course speaking of a little bit of film footage that was deleted from Princess Pinky’s recent press conference, held on the eve of her public debut.

And now, without further folderol, we bring you the Pandagate tapes:

Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.

Be the Bear!

I resolve not to make any resolutions….

…although it MIGHT be a good idea for the panda kindergarten to resolve a few things, and then the there’s Princess Pinky….how do you solve a problem like a princess?

Hey! here I am on Sunday afternoon, working on my new schedule, which is to bring you the Monday cartoon on Sunday! Huzzah! Of course, if you don’t check in until Monday, well, the pandas will be here waiting for you. Mr. Wu Wednesday will continue, although he doesn’t have any adventures planned for a while. I think maybe he should stay home for a little bit, don’t you?

Speaking of planning (who was speaking of planning?….Oh wait, it was me!) If you want to be the first to hear about what I have planned for the next year, you still have time to sign up for my once-in-a-while newsletter. (I’m sending it out on Tuesday morning) This month, not only is it chock-a-block full of news, I also have prepared a PDF of the entire Wizard of Wu adventure story. Huzzah! Buuuuut, the only way you’ll get it is to sign up for my newsletter. It’s the second from the top sign up form on the right hand column, just under the sign-up to get these posts delivered to your inbox.

And now, bring on the bears!

Princess Pinky helps with new years resolutions

You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….

Oh, that adorable Princess Pinky! What will she do next?

Day 31: It’s a WUnderful Life – Episode Nine

8 Replies

Oh my! It is not only the last episode of Mr Wu’s most recent adventure, but it is the last day of the year, and even more importantly, the last day of 2013’s 31 Days of Pandas!!!!! Huzzah. Well, not Huzzah! that daily pandas are coming to an end, but Huzzah! that I managed not to miss a single day of NEW cartoons, every stinkin’ day!

Huzzah! Here are some 31 Days of Pandas statistics that I find interesting in my own pandy little way: There are 245 (plus or minus a panda here and there) drawings of pandas within these 31+ drawings. That is more than an 800% increase over the original year of 30 days of pandas. (someone might want to check my math on that one.) There was an average of over 1500 page views per week during the month. Huzzah! I know that’s not quite the big leagues, but it sure beats the heck out of the early days when 10 views was a really big day for the pandas.

There is much panda-ing in store for 2014. Pandas kept me going through 2013, which quite frankly, felt like a year long Friday the 13th, if you want to know the truth. But enough about that! Let’s have the final episode of It’s a WUnderful Life!

Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!

And here’s a little bonus, especially for those of you who have joined the panda fun here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire recently: The Panda Kindergarten’s New Year’s Eve!

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that worst?

Be the Bear, and thanks for stopping by!

See ya next year!

Day 25: It’s a WUnderful Life, part 3

6 Replies

I know in the original movie, all the action takes place on Christmas Eve, but frankly, I just can’t draw that fast. So BEAR with me, ‘kay? (I should probably make some kind of new year’s resolution about giving up making terrible puns, but you know, it’s just not gonna happen. Let’s all just move on.)

So, while all the pandas in real life are now partying at mama Bai Yun’s place, in pandyland, it’s time for episode 3 of It’s a WUnderful Life! Huzzah!

Bee the bear tells it like it is: every panda matters.

I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…oh wait…sorry, that was the last adventure!

There’s more coming your way tomorrow! Merry Christmas to all!

Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….

Day 23: It’s a WUnderful Life, isn’t it?

5 Replies

Today marks the start of a soon to be holiday classic! One that you will want to watch every year, just like some of those other holiday classics that turn up every year around now. I am, of course, speaking of our new feature adventure, starring the one and only, Mr Wu!

Hold on to your cuppycakes because you won’t want to miss a single minute of It’s a Wunderful Life!

(editor’s note: This series contains extreme melodrama, existential dilemmas and not a little bit of out and out pathos. Please don’t yell at me.)

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.

Oh dear, we know where this is going, kinda sorta, don’t we?

Be the Bear,

Day 22: Princess Pinky is a STAR!

6 Replies

But you already knew that, didn’t you? Well, now it’s official, at least according to Smithsonian Magazine, where Princess Pinky Bao Bao is this month’s cover girl. And in her Princess Pinky fashion, she demanded a cartoon to commemorate the occasion.

A girl’s gotta do, what a girl’s gotta do, and that applies equally to mama pandas.

Beware, the power of the paw!

Don’t you just hate it when your mom hides your important stuff?

Well, we have just 9 more days remaining in our 31 Days of Pandas series, and we are going to wind up the year with a short feature presentation, It’s a WUnderful Life! Tune in tomorrow for the first episode.

Thank you, to everyone who has joined in with the panda fun! I am so glad you have come along for the ride.

Peace be with you, embrace your inner panda, and keep being the bear.

Day 21: The wait is over! the finale of the Wizard of Wu

4 Replies

Hard to believe this adventure started all the way back in September, but there you have it! It’s all over but the flashbacks! And now, for the final episode of The Wizard of Wu!

All well that ends well. Now let’s have some cuppycakes!!!

See, I told you that I wouldn’t do anything dastardly to Mr Wu. But will we let Mr Wu just relax at home and eat cuppycakes and drink hot cocoa with his mom and the twinkies (not to mention Princess Pinky, who is NOT a bear to be messed with!)?

No, we will not! Tune in Monday for episode 1 of It’s a WUnderful Life, starring, (of course,) Mr wu and all your favorite pandas!

And if you haven’t bought YOUR copies of all the Panda Chronicles books, what are ya waiting for? They make great presents for anyone on your gift list (including yourself!)

31 days of pandas continues tomorrow!

Mr Wu is in the thick of it now! Captured by the Panda Kindergarten, who are under the evil spell of the wicked witch (played brilliantly by Mehitabel the cat, if we do say so ourselves,) and it looks like there is…

Escape…….

Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?

Ha ha! Oh that Princess PinkY! What will she do next? Stay tuned for the next two episodes of The Wizard of Wu!
