The Panda’s New Clothes

23 Replies

It’s Day 13 of 31 Days of Pandas, and as promised, today we have a new cartoon featuring Bubba (and of course his big sister Princess Pinky) and today Bubba get’s his official Panda Chronicles outfit! Like Pinky with her tutu and tiara, and the Meihem twins with their Panda Scout Uniforms, I knew Bubba would need a signature outfit to show to the world.

And here it is!

What the well dressed panda cub is wearing this season!

And look! He got a little extra present too!

Thanks to Cyndi Anderson who reminded me of the propeller beanie! And if you enjoy these ‘toons, please share them with your panda/humor loving friends. The best way to ensure world domination of panda satire is to share it with your friends!

Huzzah! And did you notice that today is sort of a numerical palindrome? Day 13-31 Days…okay, I did say sort of.

See you tomorrow for the start of It’s a Wun-derful Life!

Day 10, 31 Days of Pandas

Rather than start another one of my longer stories today, I thought I’d dive deep deep deep into the archives for one of my …um…quirkier stories. What made me think of this story was a post from Colorado writer Kathy Lynn Harris, who I discovered through The Write Life Magazine. She had written an essay there that made me an instant fan. The story also, just possibly made me spew coffee all over my laptop, since I had the bad sense to drink while reading. Not that I blame her, or anything.

Anyway, a recent re-read of this post made me decide to dig my own tribute to Barbie out of the archives and share it with you here.

Enjoy! This one’s for you, Kathy.

Well, we have made it to Day 9 of 31 Days of Pandas, and we are at the end of our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu! Wasn’t that fun?  When we left you yesterday, Princess Pinky had just vanquished the Wicked Cat Witch of the West!  But what happens when our heroes return to the lair of The Wizard, to claim their prize?

Let’s see, shall we?

Return to the wizard

Don’t mess with Princess Pinky!

finale of wizard of wu

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

Don’t Go Away! 

We will have a NEW story starting tomorrow. Okay, not a new, new story. It is another encore presentation, but isn’t this better than doing spreadsheets or 2016 income forecasts for your office?

See ya tomorrow, okay?

Huzzah! We are back again for 31 Days of Pandas, and our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu! Yesterday, the Wicked Cat Witch of the West sent her henchpandas out to capture Wu and his magical bunny slippers! Will they succeed? Let’s find out!

The panda kindergarten captures Mr Wu

Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!

escape from the wicked witch

Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?

Uh oh! Am I going to leave you with only two more episodes to go? Well, yes I am. Bwahahahaha! Will the identity of the wizard be revealed? will wu get home safely? will there be cuppycakes for all?

Tune in tomorrow to see if all has ended happily! although, if you already had The Book of Wu, you would know the answer to these questions. Just saying.

31 Days of Pandas now continues with The Wizard of Wu!

We hope you have been enjoying this concentrated dose of pandy goodness. If you have been enjoying it, I hope you will share our stories with your friends. They might not know they are pandaholics (yet) but I believe that everyone with a sense of humor has the potential to embrace their inner panda.

And now, on with the show! On Saturday, We left Wu and his intrepid companions here:

the good witch saves Wu and Co.

Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!

Xiao Liwu gets a bath

Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?

Wizard of Oz spoof

But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!

although I DID promise there would be NO flying monkeys…

the wicked witch unleashes the flying monkeys

Ride you pandas! Ride!

What could be scarier than the panda kindergarten on tricycles!?!

See you again tomorrow for Day 8 of 31 Days of Pandas and the next installment from our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu!

31 days of Pandas Day 6

31 Days of Pandas, day 6, and at last! A new ‘toon!

It was Bubba’s 100th day birthday earlier this week, and the panda fans of DC gathered to celebrate, even though the guest of honor has not yet made his public debut! Thanks to my good friend and videographer to the (panda) stars, Doxie M Panda (my cousin on my mother’s side), we can see some of the highlights (so far!) of Bubba’s first 100 days.

Princess Pinky is looking forward to another kind of first 100 days, but maybe she shouldn’t count her chickens too soon and all that.

Meanwhile, let’s join the celebration…

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!

Tomorrow, we rejoin Mr. Wu and the whole cast of The Wizard of Wu, as the story continues. If you are tuning in late, you can start here.

I would also like to send out a birthday greeting to one of Princess Pinky’s most faithful pandarazzi! Happy Birthday Daniel Reidel. May your lens never fog, may your batteries be fully charged, and may Princess Pinky never grab the camera out of your hands and demand a ransom to get it back. Have a cuppycake! Huzzah!

Be the bear ya’ll and thank you for visiting!

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,

Yes, panda satire fans, it is time again for our end-of-the-year-last-gasp-attempt-at-fun

31 Days of Pandas!!!!!!

As I mentioned on Friday, with so many projects now on the front burner, I am not able to do a new cartoon every day this month. There will be new material as well, but I thought I would take this as an opportunity for some of our newer community members to catch up on some of the stories we have brought you in the past years.

Princess Pinky announces 31 days of pandas

Who can forget Princess Pinky’s first time on 31 days of pandas, when she was barely 100 days old!?

Mr Wu tries to take charge

Needless to say, the Wu Self was not pleased to have to compete for screen time for 31 days of pandas!

To start this year off right, we thought we would have an encore presentation of that holiday classic, The Wizard of 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!

Let’s hear it for 31 days of pandas
