Day 19: From the Deep Archives

I thought that for today, I would dig into the deepest, darkest archives. Let’s see what happens when we do this…

Ever wondered where all these pandas came from?

Ever wondered where all these pandas came from?

Or who our early influences were?

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

Or what we think is a suitably dignified name for a panda?

"Bob" has a nice ring to it!

“Bob” has a nice ring to it!

Hope you are having a happy holiday season and that all your gift shopping is done, but if it’s not, consider the gift of Panda Satire! You can find the full library of Panda Chronicle Books here! Including our latest addition, The Panda Chronicles coloring book!

Day 17: Everytime a Bell Rings

Oh my! The suspense here at 31 Days of Pandas is getting too much to bear…get it? Too much to…oh, never mind. You knew I had a weird sense of humor already, so no complaining in the cheap seats.

Let’s get back to it’s a Wunderful Life, shall we?

It's a Wonderful Life parody

Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?

It's a Wonderful Life, parody

Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.

It's a Wonderful Life, parody

Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!

You didn’t think I was going to make you wait another day for the heartwarming schmoopy ending did you? what kind of bear do you think I am?

Don’t answer that!

And while you are doing your holiday shopping, why not add a Bee, the bear, mug to your collection! Yours for the asking (well, and your credit card) from Pandyland at CafePress!

 

Bee, the Bear

Bee, the Bear

and on the other side...

and on the other side…

Be the Bear! and tune in for more pandy fun tomorrow and Saturday, with a brand new ‘toon on Sunday, starring…hmmmm could it be Pinky and Bubba? We’ll see!

Day 16: It’s a Wonderful Wu

Sit back and enjoy the show!

You won’t like this, Mr Wu!

It's a Wonderful Life Parody

Those darn cats!

Oh this is so traumatic! I hate to upset the wu self, but a writer has gotta do what a writer’s  gotta do. No one ever said it would be pretty.

Meanwhile, you could head over to Pandyland at Cafe Press and show your support for the Wu-self this holiday season!

The Wu self(i.e.) mug!

It's a wonderful Life parody

Bee the bear tells it like it is

It's a Wonderful Life parody

What part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get?

Where IS Mr. Wu’s mom? It’s getting very existential around here!

Tune in tomorrow for the next episode!

Day 14: It’s a Wun-derful Life

We are back with another holiday classic, It’s a Wun-derful Life! Huzzah! Mr Wu is given the gift of seeing what the world would be like if he had never been born. But why are we standing around here talking?

On with the show!!!!

it's a wonderful life

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

It's a wonderful life

Wu is a good bear at heart….

Oh the suspense is killing me! What is going to happen next?

Be the Bear!

PS: Several people commented that they wished the PandyClaws and his sleigh (and a tiny Pinky Panda) image was on a coffee mug. Well, guess what! Now it is!

Have yourself a Pandy little Christmas...

Day 4, 31 Days of Pandas

Well, not only is it 31 Days of Pandas, it is also Fabulous Furry Friday. We like to have some extra panda goodness to get us in the right frame of mind for the weekend. I mean, if you have a weekend and aren’t working all weekend or something unpleasant like that.  Wait a minute….I’m working this weekend.

Well, maybe there will be time for a cuppycake.
I thought I would share a ‘toon or two about the early day’s of Pinky, since she has been sneaking in some appearances to The Wizard of Wu…

National Zoo cub makes mom Mei Xiang disappear

oops. Pinky gets her magical wand!

Princess Pinky is fooled by Mei Xiang at the National Zoo

Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…Bubba had best keep that in mind!

And now, continuing with our feature encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu

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….

Mr Wu hears a cry for help

Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?

The wicked cat of the west attacks Mr Toasty

That cat is pure evil!

Mehitabel soaks Mr Toasty

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

Wow! Mr Wu and his friends are in a tight spot!

As it is Fabulous Furry Friday, AND the middle of the holiday shopping season, We feel compelled to add a little reminder that not only books make  great presents, but so do “Vote for Pinky” and “Vote for Bob” goodies from our store at Pandyland. Not to mention prints from Pandamorphosis, available here! Consider yourselves informed! You can always find the links on our home page, too.

Until tomorrow!
Be the Bear,

Bob T Panda

 

Day 2, 31 Days of Pandas

We’re back, with day 2 of 31 Days of Pandas! Huzzah!

And now, for more from the Wizard of Wu

Hang on to your hats, kids, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Hang on to your hats, kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

I don't think we're in Pandiego any more, Binky....

I don’t think we’re in Pandiego any more, Binky….

What could be waiting outside? Where the heck ARE we, Binky?

What could be waiting outside? Where the heck ARE we, Binky?

We are not in Pandiego anymore! Till tomorrow!

Fabulous Furry Friday

Wouldn’t you know it…a little while ago I had an idea about what I wanted to post for this week’s Fabulous Furry Friday offering, and now I can’t remember what it was. This happens more often than I wish it would. I don’t know if it indicates impending dementia, or that there is just too much going on in my life and my brain is full so nothing new sticks to the surface. Is that really a thing?

Meanwhile, as I write this, the wind is howling, small branches are hitting the roof, and who knows how long we will have electricity?

Hey! That reminds me….

where happy pandas eat bamboo, oh why, oh why, can't...Wu?

where happy pandas eat bamboo, oh why, oh why, can’t…Wu?

We're in for it now, Binky!

We’re in for it now, Binky!

Hang on to your hats, kids, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Hang on to your hats, kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

I don't think we're in Pandiego any more, Binky....

I don’t think we’re in Pandiego any more, Binky….

I’m really hoping this doesn’t happen here. In the meantime, if you had your own copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 4: The Book of Wu, you could read the rest of this story of The Wizard of Wu, even if your power went out. well, if you had a flashlight. You do know where your flashlight is, right?

Baby, it’s cold out there!
Be the Bear, Bob T Panda

 

One Step for a Small Bear…

Oh dear.

It is Friday the 13th. I hope nothing bad happens today.

We will try to counteract the potential preconceptions of the day by sharing some good news! Firstly, earlier this week Bubba took his first steps on all fours! He was heartily congratulated by Mama Mei, so today we celebrate…

One Step for a Small Bear…One Giant Panda for Bearkind!

#6 is getting ready to make his move!

#6 is getting ready to make his move!

Huzzah!....ooops.

Huzzah!….ooops.

And who could forget Mr. Wu’s valiant attempts at his first step?

"Howdy do! I'm Mr. Wu! Who are you?"

“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”

And then there are the pandas that made history with the first moon landing…oh…um…it wasn’t pandas? I must have misspoken. My mistake.

One step for a small bear....

One step for a small bear….

And, as I promised, or at least implied, that there was more than one bit of good news, it is this: The Panda Chronicles Coloring Book will be available very soon! Huzzah! I am waiting for my proof copy before I hit the “GO” button, but expect an announcement as early as next week.

Get your crayons ready!!!!

Get your crayons ready!!!!

Fabulous Furry Friday

Today, Fabulous Furry Friday celebrates WOOZPAH* and all those who want to bring pandas to Washington State. Yesterday this news story crossed my path, thanks to alert pandanista Diana Sutton! I say go for it! Washington State NEEDS pandas. and while I would rather they be in Seattle, than Tacoma, It’s all a heck of a lot closer than any other pandas!

Woozppah!

Woozppah!

Huzzah! Bring pandas to Washington State!

Huzzah! Bring pandas to Washington State!

Hope your Friday is Fabulous and Furry!
