You Say It’s Your Birthday…

2 Replies

We are moving into high Birthday Season for the National Zoo-born bears and you know what THAT means!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BISCUIT!!!!

Pinky:…um…wait a minute. what do you mean BISCUIT??? isn’t my beardy first?

Well, actually it isn’t! Your birthday isn’t until the 23rd! Bubba’s is on the 22nd, and Bikkie’s is on the 21st.

Pinky: hmmmph. dis. will. not. stand.

Bikkie: yoo shut up!

You might remember Frank (aka Mister Poppee) and Mikey went on a road trip right before Bikkie’s first birthday…

Here come’s trouble!

This one just gets me right in the feels!

Yes, this was one of the early appearances of Princess Pinky Junior!

Wasn’t that heartwarming? Did it help you forget about Mittens for a few minutes? You’re welcome!

Return to Camp Grandmei

Well, well, well..what have the little darlings been up to since Pinky dropped the twins at her mommie’s house and skedaddled for parts unknown? She SAID she was going to DC for Binky Li’s birthday, but she hasn’t made it there yet.

But in the meantime, Camp Grandmei is going about how you might expect.

How could you be mad at such little angels?

Bob T oh no, not Mei’s convertible! Panda

As you might have read, things are going from bad to worse on the Mitten’s front. Read more panda satire, watch some panda videos, write your congress people to tell them WTAF, and check your voter registration! Also eat more cookies!

It’s Time for Another Visit to Camp GrandMei!

Is there anything like summer camp? I mean…is there anything good about summer camp? I guess it depends on who the campers are and who are the counselors…

I’m still trying to get back into the swing of things here back at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire. I think I’m finally in the right time zone, but my schedule is not quite back to normal yet. Did anything happen while I was gone? No…never mind…I don’t think I want to know.

Camp GrandMei Part 2

6 Replies

Word Press (or probably their version of A.I. gave me a writing prompt that I thought was kind of funny:

If you had to be an animal for a week, what would you be?

Um…duh? Also, only for a week?

But I digress. Before I went off on my globe trotting adventures, I started a story about Pinky’s twins being shipped off to their grandparents for an undisclosed length of time. (Mei Xiang: EXCUUUSE ME? WHAT length of time did you say????) You can read the first installment HERE, because it’s been a little while…

We now return to our story…

We are finally having a little rain here, which is a good thing since it’s been so dry. Our thoughts go out to our friends and neighbors in the north, who are having yet another summer of fire and smoke. I hope you are able to evade the flames and stay safe.

It was very nice to be away and avoid the nooz as best I could, but alas. I am back and reality has come crashing down, although I am trying to avoid the anxiety spiral. Pandas help. So does the adorable little Linh Mai (sp?) heffalump at the National Zoo. She is almost as cute as a panda!

Till next time,

What Have We Here? Pandarella Episode 25, that’s what!

6 Replies

We are definitely winding this fractured fairy tale down! And if you notice a resemblance in some of our players to characters that exited the story earlier, let’s just say that we have a limited number of pandas to play all the parts, so we make due where we can!

Now…On with our story!

Methinks mebbee the Queen knows something, perhaps…

Meanwhile out in the real world, shit is getting cray cray! Will there be consequences for Mittens and VD Vandal (soon to be played here by a weasel!) for the bad things that they are getting up to in Ohio? Sounds like some of the citizens of Springfield have filed a criminal complaint against them for telling lies to incite violence.

ZooNooZ may have an exclusive interview with a central character in the drama, coming on Thursday. Mum’s the word!

Till then…

Bob T there will be consequences Panda

It’s time for another episode of Pandarella!

The day got away from me, so let’s just cut to the chase, as it were, with the next episode of Pandarella!

Hmmm…the King and Queen remind me of someone(s)…

Tuesday Tales is back with Pandarella Episode 7!

8 Replies

There is so much going on right now that I decided I will have the ongoing saga of Pandarella new episodes on Tuesdays, so I can devote the other ‘toon of the week to all the various goings on in the world. I think we have secured an interview with the new not yet arrived residents of Pandiego for this Thursday, and we are working on getting interviews with the North Cascade Zebra, Frank and Mikey’s interviews with the new grizzly bears coming to the North Cascades, and an irate duck who thought that the Woodland Park Zoo was supposed to be a safe haven for ALL animals, not just bears!

So now, let’s get back to our story!

Those evil stepsisters seem somewhat familiar!

A New Story Begins Today!

8 Replies

Let’s see if I I do a better job of figuring out what this story is supposed to be!

It is a sad truth, among we who figure out stories by the seat of our pants, that sometimes what seems like a good idea at the beginning, sometimes collapses in a heap of “well who cares what happens next?” This happened in the last story I attempted. You never know, so you head off with great anticipation, only to lose all your excitement a few episodes in.

Hopefully, this will not be the case here.

Truth is, there are already so many interpretations of various fairy tales, that there are almost infinite parody possibilities, as opposed to a story that was already perfect as it is, with The Phantom Toll Booth. Other than my idea of casting Six and Sebben as the Princesses of Rhyme and Reason (I know, right???) and having Bikkie, Pookie and Frank drive off in a little car, I really didn’t know where to take it.

So here, I offer yet another take, on the tale of Cinderella!

I hope you will enjoy this ongoing distraction from the Nooz, Pandarella!

Josie has graciously agreed to be our omniscient narrator! (Josie: I did not!) And yes, there are some excellent parts for Six and Sebben, and PPJ!

Be the Bear!
