I have NO idea how they are going to get out of this dilemma! (OK, not really, but I’m trying to build some dramatic tension here!)

And since it is Fabulous Furry Friday (the 13th!!!!) here are some encore presentations of some seasonal pandas!

…which serves as a reminder of how much fun YOU can have with panda paper dolls! (And a kind of cheesy reminder that there will be more outfits for Princess Pinky and the Twins coming up this weekend! Huzzah!

A big pandy thanks to all of you who have bought books this month, a portion of which will be sent to Pandas International (huzzah!) to support actual panda stuff! But don’t stop now! Perhaps more people on your christmas list would enjoy one or more of The Panda Chronicles books! Visit our book page here.

Another big pandy thanks to all who have supported Whidbey Life Magizine’s print project on Indiegogo.  You guys are the bears!

Day 11 The Wizard of Wu Continues…

…Good thing the action has become slightly less scary, at least for a little bit. Fans of Mr Wu’s latest adventure will be happy to know (well, maybe not…maybe you LIKE waiting a whole week between episodes) that we will be featuring Mr. Wu’s adventure on most weekdays, until it’s over, in order to bring you another short holiday theme Wu-self-story.

Huzzah!

the good witch saves Wu and Co.

Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!

And just another gentle reminder to check out Whidbey Life Magazine’s Indiegogo project! In the meantime, keep being the bear! More Wu-venture this week!

Day 4 and Episode 13 (gasp!) of the Wizard of Wu

2 Replies

Oh boy! I’m so excited at how many panda satire loving people are showing up for 31 Days of Pandas! But don’t think we are going to leave Mr Wu hanging in the breeze in his most recent adventure, The Wizard of Wu!

Things are really getting scary in today’s episode, the 13th in the series! Hmm…I said that last week, but this time I really mean it!  That cat is just so evil!

(Note to Mehitabel’s fans: it’s fiction. Get over it.)

Who would have thought cuppycakes could be enchanted?

Oh boy, ‘dis is getting so ‘citing!

Thanks to everyone who ordered books yesterday. Pandas in China thank you! You are the bears!

Day 2 of 31 Days of Pandas! Uh Oh, Mr. Wu is not Happy.

6 Replies

Well, it was bound to happen, wasn’t it?  Cuteness competition for Mr Wu has reached new levels as the Atlanta Twinkies (Bert and Ernie) emerge from their den and Princess Pinky (aka Princess Bon Bon) has her naming ceremony at the National Zoo in Washington DC.

Mr Wu tries to take charge

Uh oh. All is not well in Pandyland!

Play nice children! There is more to Pinky than just her adorable tutu!

By the way, we just had a Google Hangout with Dana Sitar of DIY Writing, for the conclusion of ManiWriMo, a month long challenge to write my big idea Pandafesto, Embracing Your Inner Panda. I didn’t …um…finish it, but I got a good start and I will continue it (till it’s done, darn it!) and hopefully get it out there for people to read in the first part of 2014.  Stay tuned, because all the gang here at the Panda Chronicles will be on board to get my pandafesto out to you. (Even Mehitabel want to embrace her inner panda!) If you want to write your own Manifesto, join Dana as she cheers on participants starting today!

Be the Bear and join us for the whole 31 days of pandas! Huzzah!

Oh yes, it’s time for 31 Days of PANDAS!

I bet you woke up at 3 AM this morning, while it was still dark, and tried to stay in bed, but you were so excited to see if it had really happened…you snuck down the stairs drawn uncontrollably to the glowing light coming from your computer, just to see if it had arrived….

Was it really the day that EVERYONE waits for all year?

Yes, it is…It is Day One of 31 Days of Pandas!  Huzzah.

Princess Pinky announces 31 days of pandas

I don’t know, Princess Pinky…I think Mr. Wu is going to have something to say about this.

I know you are going to want to clear your calendar, and put all those Holiday parties on hold, because you will want to be the first on your block to read each day of pandas.

Welcome to Pandyland!

Be the Bear,

Look out Mr Toasty! It’s Mr Wu Wednesday….

…and we are back with episode 12 of The Wizard of Wu! Huzzah!

But before we get to that, let me give you a few hints about what is to come in the next month. A couple of years ago, I was inspired by Kevan Atteberry‘s 31 days of monsters in October. So, I …um…”borrowed” the idea and did 30 days of pandas in November, in honor of Zoo Atlanta’s panda Po, for his first birthday. I added one panda a day to a single drawing, and everyone had fun figuring out where the next panda would go, and just when  the birthday boy was going to appear.

So last year, I changed it to December and did 31 days of pandas, which let me tell you was an over 600% increase in the number of pandas that I ended up drawing. What was I thinking?

I was thinking I would do it again! So hold onto your panda hats and get ready for another 31 days of pandas, starting on Sunday…(note to self…get some ideas of what to do next month) If you are signed up for my newsletter, you may have noticed that I didn’t get around to last month’s newsletter, but I will definitely send one early in December, with news about some upcoming panda projects that I have up my…um…paws.

And now would I just shut the heck up and post the %#**& cartoon already?

Sorry, no photo bomb from princess Pinky. her mother thought todays cartoon was too scary for her

See you on Fabulous furry Friday with a recap of our story so far!

#7 Mr Wu Wednesday: Even with NO Flying Monkeys, it’s Scary

Leave a reply

Oh dear, I just can’t look.  You look and tell me what’s happening! Is Mr Wu OK?  Are you on the edge of your seat?

Good.

The wicked cat of the west attacks Mr Toasty

That cat is pure evil!

I know, I know, I’m introducing the bucket of water too early, and the witch is supposed to be afraid of water.  I could have had Mr. Toasty’s bread catch fire, but somehow, I didn’t think he’d recover from that.

Uh Oh… the trouble is starting in episode 9…

…of Mr Wu’s adventure in Pandyland. Is this a good time to point out that Monday’s post of Princess Pinky was very popular? The Wu Self does not think it is appropriate to promote Princess Pinky on Mr Wu Wednesday. He wants to know if there could be at least ONE bleeping day that Princess Pinky DOES NOT push her way into every cartoon??????

Um….not really.

Mr Wu meets up with someone who looks a lot like his brother, shortly after setting out on his journey

I have a bad feeling about this….

What ever will happen next????

This is the part in the movie version, that stars the girl and a dog, where I put my head under the covers and don’t come out till…well, you know, the end part where Dorothy finds out it was all a dream.

We did promise that there would be no flying monkeys, but we didn’t promise that it wouldn’t be scary.  Just sayin’

Mr Wu hears a cry for help

Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?

The adventure continues!
