I done other Panda Parodies™️ of various movies, some successful, some…not so much. I think The Wizard of Wu works so well, because I’ve watched The Wizard of Oz soooo many times and so I know it really well. I hope you get a chance to watch the original this season (yes, I know you could watch it any time you want, but somehow the Halloween season always feels like the perfect time to watch it.
So, away we goooooooo!
Stay tuned later this month for the outtakes and blooper reel!Good witch Bee, the Bear, to the rescue!Are you SURE you weren’t in an earlier scene?But we’ve come such a long way already….Bwahahaha!Ride you pandas! Ride!
This is kind of the scary part! Get out your blankie!
Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?Don’t mess with Princess Pinky!All well that ends well. Now let’s have some cuppycakes!!!
I hope you enjoyed our Encore Presentation™️ of one of my favorite Holiday Classics™️, The Wizard of Wu! Don’t forget to VOTE!
re-reading these ‘toons reminds me that I’ve done some really good visual storytelling, with varied and dynamic drawings. I need to get back to that!
Well, here we go, right where we left off!
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….Are you SURE there will be no flying monkeys?That cat is pure evil!Sorry, no photo bomb from princess Pinky. her mother thought todays cartoon was too scary for herWho would have thought cuppycakes could be enchanted?
Oh no! Am I going to leave the narrative at a very dramatic and potential place of peril for our hero? Why yes. Yes I am. See you next time for the final installment of the Wizard of Wu!
Be the Bear! Bob T is on the edge of his seat Panda
There are several stories that I like to have Encore Presentations™️ every October, one being A Halloween Carol (starring PINKY!) and the other being The Wizard of Wu. I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, they re-ran The Wizard of Oz every year. There was no Netflix, no DVD or video tapes. There was just a scheduled broadcast. Be there or you were out of luck till the next year.
There will be a few new ‘toons sprinkled in as time allows, but for today, get your poppycorn and your cocoa with whippey cream and sit back to enjoy…
A Halloween Carol!
Bubba’s first feature role!you…is…not…da…yawn…boss of…pinky…Mr Wu makes a very cute ghost, don’t you think?He’s small for now, but Bubba Bei Bei is shaping up to be a whole lot of panda!Hey! who said Wu could poof things?One of Pinky’s misdeeds has come back to haunt her… can her campaign survive this?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?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?
I hope you enjoyed our Encore Presentations™️! See you next time for more from the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire.!
I don’t know what’s with me these days. I haven’t been able to get much done in the way of new ‘toons. I’ll try to do better, but in the meantime, there is a LOT of stuff in the archives, and it’s almost time for Holiday Encore Presentations with some of my your favorite stories!
You can’t make me….
Where have we heard demands like this before?…
Pinky: I will build a really, really big wall around your zoos if you don’t sign my oaf.And don’t even THINK about talking back to Bai Yun!
The elections of 2016 seem almost quaint in comparison to the present day:
Pay us enough money and we’ll say just about anything!Mittens is really back.
Oh my…turns out we had more than we ever thought to lose.
Hang in there Be the Bear Bob T CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION Panda
Yes, Pinky’s Birthday is officially over (say it isn’t so!!!!) but there are So! Many! ‘toons about PINKY!
So what can we do? Just go with it, I guess!
Pinky answers difficult questions from the press in her own way.Could Mama Mei Xiang really be contemplating letting Pinky loose on the pandy kindy?Pinky needs stuff and she needs it now!What is Pinky reading?Isn’t that the whole point of being presydent? Pinky.
It is sad, isn’t it, that the current WH resident has taken his legal philosophy from a cartoon panda.
Maybe Mommee Mei might have some influence over Pinky…dream on!Did you want to rephrase that last statement?
I guess that’s enough of Pinky…at least for now! Be the Bear Bob T you can’t ignore Pinky Panda!
This has nothing to do with the fact that I didn’t get a new ‘toon done.
Yes, We are fast approaching Pinky’s Birthday weekend. Actually, it’s ALL the DC panda kids (except Tai…sorry, dude!) birthday weekend. Bikkie on Friday, Bubba on Saturday, and Pinky on Sunday!
But in other political nooz, it looks like Pinky has picked up an endorsement for 2028…
Could this be the endorsement Pinky has been waiting for? Noted political journalist David Rothkopf* seems to think that the zoo would be a better place to find a presidential candidate more qualified than the Secretary of War Crimes. And who could he have meant by “at the zoo” other than our very own American Smifsonian Icon, that perpetual candidate, Princess Pinky Panda??????
apologies to Mr. Rothkopf by dragging him into this debacle. No harm, no foul, right? Your sister likes me.
So let’s revisit some of Pinky’s best (?) campaign moments through the years, as we prepare to celebrate her birthday!
Pinky, please do not get your brother all wound up!Aren’t you already in enough trouble, Pinky?“Just run along and put these brochures where people will see them!”You knew Mommee was going to get angry, didn’t you?Pinky did something wrong? I’m shocked!Pinky: first you tell me I CAN’T cubpaign in da zoo, now you won’t let me LEAVE!!!Remember the song “The Eve of Destruction”? That’s what today feels like.
and then it was worse than we could ever imagine….
We might have some more Pinky ‘toons next week, if I can’t rouse myself to get a new ‘toon done! Stay ‘Tooned!
Be the Bear Bob T please don’t sue me for suggesting you endorsed Pinky Panda
I was….um…busy making cakes for pandas so I don’t have the next episode of what’s happening at Camp GrandMei ready for you. I did, however, sweep and mop my studio!
Here are some favorites from Panda Birthday Seasons past!
The forces of Meihem are only barely in check.There must be cake!Bai Yun and Lun Lun Discuss MotherhoodPP: um, dis is not going to interrupt my presidential campaign, is it?Mr Bun has a question, daddee.Is anyone having the flashback to the wicked fairy not being invited to Briar Rose’s christening party?
Still one of my all time favorites!
I hoped you enjoyed this trip down panda memory lane! Now, let’s have some cake!
Be the Bear Bob T I wouldn’t say no to ice cream Panda
I think on Thursday it is the Meihem’s 13th birthday, and then Pinky’s newest twins, Four and Five have birthdays coming up later this week. (I think?) On the 29th it will be Mr. Wu’s 14th birthday! How can this be? I remember when he was a baby!
“Wu calls his dance, ‘Ode to a Weaf’ “
Just in case you were feeling sympathetic toward Minch McTurtle…
Two headed, two faced…why is he still here?
I am still getting my disoriented self back in the correct time zone so please forgive this disjointed post.
Here is something for the Meihems!
Mr Wu speaks out!If you think that maybe elephants never forget, they have nothing on pandas.Is this any way to treat our Nation’s most adorable icon?
Where we have Meihems, Pinky is sure to be involved. Or is that Meihem always follows Pinky?
I hope this holds you till I am able to hit the panda desk again!
Be the Bear! Bob T still easing back into Pacific time Panda
Everyone knows the party isn’t over till you can sit down and re-hash it!
And that’s how Six and Sebben got their names! I’m not entirely sure that the attempting poofing didn’t have some long term effects…
All’s well that ends well, right? RIGHT????Bears will be bears
Wasn’t that fun? Here’s a few other favorites from the archives…
But some pandas go both ways!It’s so hard to be cool when you still live with your mom.
Mr Wu wellness cubbie exam with the green ball is one of my all time favorites!
what will the panda kindergarten do next?
Well, I hope you enjoyed this extended dive into the archives! I’m pretty much done with the work for my upcoming paint show, and returning from a much needed trip, so I expect there will be new ‘toons shortly!
Be the Bear Bob T I hope Mittens didn’t burn down the country in my absence Panda
Now where were we…oh yes, Pinky arrives at the Naming Day Party of Six and Sebben, uninvited and MAD….
Won’t someone save these innocent little pandas???Oh Bubba! Be careful!!!!Did Pinky just poof her little brother? Stay tuned!But all the power in the world is nothing compared to the power of Mommee!Bubba: wait! why am i in trubble?I think I see a slight resemblance to a Pinky tantrum…just saying.
Oh my…I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mommee Mei so mad at Pinky! ‘Toon in next time for the exciting conclusion! (Can we take more excitement? I don’t know…)
