The Wizard of Wu: Part 2: Spooky Season Continues some more!

Here we are again, with the next installment of your all time favorite Holiday Classic, The Wizard of Wu!

Don’t I know you from somewhere?
Mehitabel would like to register her protest about given the least sympathetic role in this adventure.
Okay, now it’s getting exciting! Scary parts dead ahead!
I have a bad feeling about this….

And in which we meet Mr. Toasty!

Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?

And who doesn’t like bagels?

‘Toon in again next time for more of The Wizard of Wu

Bob T isn’t this better than listening to Mittens blather on about the Nobel Peace Prize Panda

A Halloween Carol; Part the second: Spooky Season Continues!

Oh boy! Pinky and the Meihems as the ghosts of Halloween past! What could possibly go wrong?

Hmmm… Pinky still does not seem impressed. Perhaps the ghost of Halloween present will have more influence over her.
Uh oh, the ghost of halloween present just caught up with Pinky…
Was that list in small type, single spaced?

Oh, there is that pouty Pinky face I love so much!

The Spirit of Halloweens yet to come is not a spirit to be messed with, right?
Surely you didn’t think she would totally reform, did you?

All’s well that ends well, right?

Don’t forget to ‘toon in on Thursday for the first installment of The Wizard of Wu! Another of our favorite Spooky Season Encore Presentations!

Be the Bear!
Bob T encore presentations are my jam Panda

It’s SPOOKY SEASON at The Panda Chronicles!

And you know what that means! Our annual Halloween re-broadcasts (i.e. Encore Presentations) of A Halloween Carol (starring Pinky and Mr. Wu!) and The Wizard of Wu! (Cue loud cheering)

First up is Part one of A Halloween Carol, with Part 2 coming on Tuesday.

Bubba’s first feature role! and the first use of the term “Worky Sit”
you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…
Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?
Hey! who said Wu could poof things?
One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?

Oh man! What is going to happen next? Stay ‘tooned till next week, but first, I hope you enjoy this little interlude ‘toon of Bubba as a baby cubby!

He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!

I hope you are enjoying these encore presentations of our favorite Spooky Season ‘toons! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Panda On!
Bob T they can’t shutdown the Panda Chronicles Panda

If Congress can go on Vacation in August, so can I

Okay, I’m not really on vacation, it’s just that some days I don’t get the things done that I think I will. Meanwhile, over at the Substack, I posted the whole story of Ping being targeted by the evil ICE. The second installment drops soon today.

But it IS the Panda Birthday Season, and we do have some important Panda Birthdays looming, so I’ll just take a little dive into the archives and pull up a few things!

Guess who has a birthday in August?

Pinky: if you guessed any bear other than me, try again.

There must be cake!
Oh dear….are you going to leave her there?
Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?
Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!
And it was ever thus….
Meihem, not Mayhem.

Remember when Six and Sebben’s older sisters were Pinky’s nemesis?

I was really afraid this was going to happen.
What is Pinky reading?

Don’t make Pinky mad!

Be the Bear
Bob T I’ll probably have some new ‘toons next week Panda

Yeah, yeah, yeah…I’m WORKING on it…

Oops! Another week where I was too busy gallivanting around to get Tuesday’s ‘toon done, but never fear. I would not leave you without some entertainment! For your consideration, I have dug into to the archives to share some ‘toons from…the Pinky Zone!

He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!
oops.
Oh Princess Pinky, mom has a trick or two up her paw, I think…
You say you want a resolution, well, you know, it is hard to change a bear….
Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?
Never say “No” to a Pinky!
I love a good art forgery, don’t you?

“How does you spell ‘hostage’?” hee hee hee!

Baby Pinky is kind of my favorite! I hope this will bring a smile to your face until we figure out what we’re doing on Thursday!

Be the Bear,
Bob T it’s not like there is anything else going on, is there? Panda

Part 2 of our Encore Presentation of our Holiday Classic, Beary Poppins!

Here we are! Hi Hi Hi Hi!

Let’s get our popcorn and hot chocolate and watch part 2 of Beary Poppins!

Don’t you just LOVE six and Sebben?
Gosh I really hate to leave you on this cliffhanger for the weekend, but…
Bikkie has a name!!!!
Once upon a time…
Bikkie loves Beary Poppins! Also Rory the Dinosaur by Liz Climo
I think Biscuit and Beary Poppins are forming a real bond!
It wasn’t me!
A promise is a promise, even among grizzly bears!
Let’s go fly a kite…
uh oh.
I was afraid there would be yelling…so much yelling!
Silly old bears!

Wasn’t that fun? Did you forget reality for a little while? I know I did!

Here’s the thing: we have to keeping remembering there is joy in creativity, in art, in stories, in dancing around the room singing along with Taylor Swift. The Panda Chronicles might not be as popular as Tay Tay, but we believe in the joy that pandas and friendship bring. We are going to need all the joy we can muster to stand up to the dark forces that are coming.

It’s Time for a Holiday Classic!

I’m afraid once again, I have failed to finish the ‘toon planned for today on time (where DOES the time go?) so instead, we will have a re-broadcast, an Encore Presentation, if you will, of one of my favorite Holiday Classics!

It’s a WUnderful Life!

Starring the one, the only, the magnificent, Mr. Wu!

Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.
Wu is a good bear at heart….
Bee the bear tells it like it is
What part of “you don’t exist” didn’t you get? Ha ha! I love that line!
You won’t like this, Mr Wu!
Those darn cats!
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Yay! The heartwarming schmoopy ending!
A bear and his mom…together forever?

I hope you enjoyed this Encore Presentation of It’s a WUnderful Life as much as I did! Stay ‘tooned next week for our regularly scheduled ‘toon plus more holiday classics!

A Panda Satire Generator For You

I was inspired by one of my favorite ‘toonists on the inter webs, John Atkinson of Wrong Hands comics. His recent ‘toon on a Christmas movie generator made me think, “I bet I can do this for Panda Satire.”

Have fun with making your own ‘toon plots. Feel free to share in the comments and on the socials!

Be sure to share your ‘toon plots!

Bringing Back Appropriate Encore ‘Toons

For some reason I didn’t finish today’s ‘toon in time, but I’m on it. Maybe tomorrow?

do the right thing.
The Power of the Poof
day after
Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.

Not even CUPPYCAKES????

Honestly, I thought we would not be here again. I am so sad, so angry, so scared, for me and for people I care about. I seriously thought this would not, could not happen. We thought there could not be such a bat shit crazy campaign again by Mittens, against an inspiring, energetic campaign by Kamala Harris. I am afraid for the future of this country, as well as the rest of the world. I’ll be here as long as I still have the resources to keep going.

Yours in Pandas Always

A Small Request

I really had no idea what she was up to.

We can’t rely on Pinky and her magical wand to get us out of this.

The one thing we don’t want is for the “Biden steps down — Democrats lose” to become a self fulfilling prophecy. It would be good to let your Senators and House rep know your opinion on this. Feel free to use or modify my text shown below, that I am sending to my representatives today. You can call their offices if you’d like, but most offices have a contact form you can use. Let’s flood our reps with the opinion that the most important thing is to defeat Trump and stave off Project 2025 and the Trump dictatorship.

This is most useful if you have Democratic Party reps, but it wouldn’t be amiss to send to Republican representatives as well.  You can copy and paste my text if you’d like.

Message to Senators/ Representative:

I believe that President Biden is the most capable person to decide whether or not he has the will and the energy to see this election through. He has been an excellent president, passing many initiatives that benefit a wide swath of the American people.

I believe him when he says he has the stamina to both run and defeat the former president. He has an excellent Vice President in Kamala Harris, as well as a very capable cabinet. He has more he would like to accomplish on our behalf and I think that constantly questioning whether that is the case is harmful to our prospects in November.

One bad debate should not be the beginning of the end for the American experiment. The former president at the most benign interpretation would bring in a regressive era with the loss of many rights and personal autonomy.

I believe President Biden is the best president I have seen in the 12 presidents of my lifetime. Please stand by him and let him finish the job.
