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…)
How could I have forgotten about this story? It gets better!
You know where this is going, don’t you?We’re not looking….…baby pandas! You’re getting baby pandas!!!!Ruh Roh…She who must be obeyed… The hero of our tale emerges…
Pinky at her Pinky-est! Bubba emerges to save the day… WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT????
‘Toon in next time to find out!
Be the Bear Bob T hitting all the classic stories Panda
Remember when Six and Sebben had their Naming Day Party?
But first… One of my favorite ‘toons! (Bubba: not MINE!!!)
Bubba flunks “cake”Will there be cuppycakes?Wem call our liddle tale, “Being Endangered is Such a Curse!”Ruh Roh…Commence propeller spin…now!Don’t pout, Pinky!Pinky: Why do I always have to do all the hard stuff?
well! I wonder what happens next? ‘Toon in next time and find out!
Be the Bear Bob T hey where is my invitation Panda
As I finish up my work for my upcoming show, I find I need to lean on the archives a little bit more. Of course that means you get a BUNCH of ‘toons instead of just one, so not all bad!
Let’s see what bubbles to the surface…
Back in the before times…
What happens at the debate, states at the debate…Uh oh. Is Bubba about to rat someone out?
sigh…if only…
Whoever could it be, to see Pinky in her lair?Oh Bubba! What were you thinking?Just what kind of deal is Pinky making?
Didn’t anyone tell Pinky if you have to cheat, you’re not winning? Hmm…
Um…I had some fluff in my eyes….What goes around, comes around…
Are we still in a war? do we have an completely insane “president” whose mental derailment is being completely ignored by the Cabinet and VP who are the only ones who could actually do something about this? Are we running around muttering oh no oh no oh no?
This aggression will not stand, man!
Let’s have a fun panda story from the archives to distract ourselves!
Before Pinky poofed the Meihems into being girls! Don’t tell Mittens!
Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!Uh oh. All is not well in Pandyland!Sweet dreams, little bears!
Uh oh….
Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.downloadable paper panda upgradeReady for panda kindergarten!Can you calibrate the cuppycake?
I hope a little bit of panda fun took your mind off of “things” for a little while. We do what we can!
Be the Bear Bob T will this torture ever end Panda
Our good friend Maria Panda posted a ‘toon from one of our books, showing Pinky heading off to summer camp. As Pinky’s twins Four and Five are about to go off to CampGrandMei later this week, we thought we better take a little trip down memory lane!
Is it a good thing that I can’t remember some of my own story lines?
What could be in a letter to Pinky?Mei is certainly ready for summer vacation, but maybe Bubba needs some summer duds!Unhand my Banky Pig!What a wonderful surprise! Um…NOT!!!!Pinky is going on an adventure!Pinky: after all, i AM a icon!!!!C’est Moi?How about that!
Well, I know there is more to this story and I will look for it for our next Panda Chronicles Archive extravaganza. Until next time, when we hope to have a new ‘toon for Thursday, …
Another archive dive today because I went outside, had fun, and took a nap this weekend. Hopefully I will finish what I started on for today, on Thursday! Still deep in the getting ready for my show trenches, but it will be done in the not too distant future!
All My Pandas……Excuse me, Mr. Watterson, but….I love a good art forgery, don’t you?Oh dear, the Mei-hem twinkies have made Pinky mad. Uh oh.He who laughs last, laughs…um…last.
Bill Watterson remains one of the guiding lights for cartoonists of this era. I thought it would be fun to share this whole story line from the archives. Calvin and Hobbes was a force to be reckoned with, and still is to this day.
I’m sure I will get something new done…eventually. Meanwhile, paintings are happening!
Be the Bear Bob T I’d rather be goofing off Panda
BTW, I have finally unearthed my work station in the felty studio and probably late summer or early fall start making some more things.
Nooz has just been received at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, that Zoo Atlanta has just signed a new contract with the Chengdu Panda Base to bring a new pair of pandas to Pandalanta! The new pandas are Ping Ping (not the one I met at Gengda in 2017, but STILL!!!) and Fu Shuang.
I guess it was a good thing I was too tired last night to set up an archive pandapalooza, because now we have a theme for today’s dive into the archives!
We bring you PANDALANTA PANDAS PAST AND (UP TO) THE PRESENT!
One of the early appearances of The Meihems, before Pinky…um…poofed them
Huzzah! a guest appearance by little Po!Pinky is VERY powerful. Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr Wu.downloadable paper panda upgradeReady for panda kindergarten!
Of course there was some amount of rivalry between Pinky and the Meihems, but sometimes they cooperated on projects…
we are friendly, not ambitious!I love a good art forgery, don’t you?
And around the time Pinky was getting used to having a little brother, a new set of twins was born in Pandalanta…Let’s have a big Panda Chronicles welcome for Six and Sebben!
Panda Trek 2: The Next GenerationThe little gift that keeps on giving!“Why can’t my children be as well behaved as Lun Lun’s,” mused Mei Xiang
Huh…apparently Six and Sebben started out as well behaved, but…
Will these two ever get along?Well, bless her heart! Are you sure that’s a good idea, Mei?
Sisters!
Well, that’s about all the Meihem we have time for today, but we’ll probably share some more Pandalanta stories from the Sun Sun/ Yang Yang dynasty next week! (If you know who hasn’t blown up the planet by then.)
