Money for Pinky!

10 Replies

I know you want to just cut to the chase and go see what Pinky has up her paws to raise money for Pinky and her presidential campaign, but just bear with me a minute.

Oh. You can’t wait…read a few of my thoughts, it’s just but what is Pinky up to NOW, you want to know!

Oh, all right. Go ahead a look. I’ll be right here.

Are you back?
Good.
So I was listening the National Panda Radio the other day, and I heard a story about how paper is making a comeback. And it’s not just about books. There are recent studies that suggest that students retain more relevant information by writing, rather than typing on a laptop or tablet. Artist and writer Lynda Barry (now Dr. Lynda, thanks to a honorary doctorate from my alma mater The University of the Arts in Philadelphia) suggests that ideas and memories can be triggered and stimulated by the actual act of putting pencil to paper.

This is encouraging and validating for a luddite such as myself, who refuses to get a Waccom tablet to draw and paint digitally, and insists on drawing with pencil and india ink with a dip pen (a dip pen, for crying out loud!!!!) to bring you all the panda satire you can stand. Many is the day when  I started a cartoon without an idea, but I would draw a nose, and then some ears, and before I knew it, pandas were doing stuff and it was funny!

Okay… Well, I thought it was funny.

Just in case you were wondering how Pinky came up with the idea to do this:

I really had no idea what she was up to.

I really had no idea what she was up to.

I’m sure there will be some consequences both for Pinky and myself.
See you next time!

Well, that was a dramatic announcement last week, wasn’t it? Pinky has informed her mother that she will be running for president! But….I got three whole (very sincere) votes in the last election! Doesn’t that count for anything?

Bob wouldn't try anything sneaky, would he? Would he???????

We Need to Talk

Has there ever been a phrase that strikes terror into a …um…panda’s heart like we need to talk?Just when mama Mei Xiang thought that things would be calming down, and she could think about whether it was time to start knitting some panda booties…..

Pinky for what??????

Pinky for what??????

Pinky has a surprise up her sleeve for mommee and daddee, I think. Well, at least it will distract her from the prospect of having a sibling (or two!) to contend with. Oh my…the fur may fly this summer.

We are not done yet, talking about the power outage that happened some time back in Washington DC (Known around here as the “other” Washington). Princess Pinky has some ‘splainin’ to do, I think.

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

Bob has always turned a blind eye to anything Princess Pinky might be getting up to, but developments are developing that he may not be able to ignore!

Fabulous Furry Friday Returns

What would we do without Fridays? That gateway to the weekend and relaxation…or maybe you work weekends or have saved up all the chores you don’t have time for during the week, so really, wouldn’t it be better if you could just sneak back to the office so you could watch panda videos of Fezbook, when you think no one is looking?

Not of course that I am suggesting that you do that. I’m just saying….

From a true story!

The panda kindergarten is so very helpful.

Attention Must Be Paid

Attention must be paid…to Pinky’s mommee, if no one else. Watch as Pinky plays a round of Evade the Question!  (Thank you Jasper Fforde!) ( I excelled at this game as a teenager.)

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

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

But don’t try to pin this on your minions, Pinky. You are going to need them later when you…um…make your big announcement. Every politician needs some minions who are willing to do their bidding, don’t you think?

Maybe no one will be able to trace the outage back to the panda house.

Maybe.

Um…did someone turn out the lights?

Okay, I think this is just a really cheesy ploy to get out of doing all that composition and cross hatching you do in order to draw all the pandas. Are we going to let her get away with this?

did someone turn out the lights?

Hey, everyone needs a day off once in a while.
