Fabulous Furry Friday presents Mei Watch

A new report from panda nanny extraordinaire Nicole McCorkle reveals that while Mei Xiang may be doing a little decorating around her den, we shouldn’t start knitting booties for the new arrivals just yet. Pandas are notoriously coy when it comes to revealing if they are actually pregnant or not.

Therefore, it is time for our favorite show…Mei Watch!

we are still hoping for a panda cub trifecta

will the pitter patter of little paws soon follow?

This doesn’t have anything to do with Mei Xiang, but I was looking for this one!

Will Mei have a new cub or two? Will Pinky take time out from her campaign to babysit? Will the minions be caught breaking in to Bob’s campaign headquarters? Stay tuned to this channel! and remember, Vote Pinky, Vote often!

Declare your support for Pinky!

BTW, I’ve been having a little internet frolic (get your minds out of the gutters, people!) over on the blog Cordelia’s Mom, Still, and we have been doing a group post between Cordelia’s Mom and a few other bloggers. I even did a special cartoon for it, but the only place you can see it is here!

Fabulous Furry Friday

2 Replies

Last week we revisited some of the earliest appearances of Princess Pinky and the Meihems. Pinky thought we should continue in this vein. Don’t ask me how she gets away with this high handed behavior. She just does. (I am putty in her paws.) So join us as Fabulous Furry Friday presents….

Pinky tests her powers….

And then, there was the first appearance of Pinky’s magical wand (for those of you who came in after the start of our show)…

National Zoo cub makes mom Mei Xiang disappear

oops.

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…

And even though I may incur the wrath of those who have a different political viewpoint, I just have to share that traumatic day when…I shudder to remember…the Pinky-cam was shut down! Remember, cartoons have a long history of being political and maybe through humor, we might resolve our differences.

Nah, I didn’t think so either. Just deal with it.

How much can a small panda stand? Pinky has a way of putting things in perspective.

Next Friday, I think the Meihems should have the day to themselves. what do you think, Pinky?

It’s hard to believe that 2015 is almost halfway over. Where does the time go? Any day now, the panda progeny season may begin. We are hopeful that there might be two new panda cubbies in the US, although we are hoping for a trifecta, which has not happened yet. Ms Lun Lun of Atlanta has not revealed whether she is interested in completing the triple crown of panda-dom, but we are ever hopeful!

We had no new panda cubs in the US last year, but in 2013, we celebrated the birth of the Meihems and…ahem…Princess Pinky, America’s sweetheart (“and icon! don’t forget I am a icon!!!!!”).

I think this would be an excellent opportunity for Fabulous Furry Friday to look back on the birth of our about to be two year-old reigning panda princesses, don’t you?

A look-back at the birth of the meihem twinkies would not be complete without Mr. Wu’s commentary.

The first appearance of the twinkies on The Panda Chronicles

Sweet dreams, little bears! This cartoon was written before…um…Pinky poofed the twins into girls.

And just how did the panda kindergarten get her address?

Such a little darling! How could her big brother resist spoiling her?

When Pinky got her first tutu…

Tune in again next week, for more from the childhood of the Meihems and Princess Pinky!
(Not to mention more from the Pinky for president campaign! Vote Pinky 2016!)

Pinky Money, Part 2

6 Replies

Pinky’s campaign to be President is rocketing on, despite the little set back of not being able to sell Tiger selfies at the Zoo. Some people are so unreasonable!!!!

In concert with Pinky’s recently discovered popularity, her plan to print her own money is working out nicely, at least for Pinky.

For Bob T., not so much.

Butter wouldn’t melt in her adorable little mouth….

And yes, there really is Pinky Money.Don’t spend it all in one place.

I wanted to add a special thanks thanks to writer Jane Steen, who gave me a lovely write up in her newsletter this week. A few weeks ago, she wrote a post about how she had written a chapter that contained references to some early John Singer Sargent paintings that didn’t exist. Being a huge Sargent fan, I wrote to her, telling her of my…um…penchant for forging Sargent. Thanks again for your kind and complimentary words, Jane. Not to mention the plug for pandas. Did I mention I have books for sale?

Well, that was a dramatic announcement last week, wasn’t it? Pinky has informed her mother that she will be running for president! But….I got three whole (very sincere) votes in the last election! Doesn’t that count for anything?

Bob wouldn’t try anything sneaky, would he? Would he???????

We are not done yet

We are not done yet, talking about the power outage that happened some time back in Washington DC (Known around here as the “other” Washington). Princess Pinky has some ‘splainin’ to do, I think.

Zoonooz is on the job. Can you say “cover up”?

Bob has always turned a blind eye to anything Princess Pinky might be getting up to, but developments are developing that he may not be able to ignore!

Stay tuned to this here station!

More Email Scandals

14 Replies

It was bad enough when Bob used his private email account for his official campaign communications, but I had no idea (I’m shocked, I tell you!) that Princess Pinky was doing the same thing. Who knew that zoo panda communications were considered official documents?

What could Pinky be up to…?

Who would have thought that this would cause more email scandals ….

Fabulous Furry Earth Day

7 Replies

It has come to my attention, that this week we celebrate Earth Day, a day to thank our lovely planet for being there, and could we please not mess it up any more than we already have, and maybe fix a thing or two while we are at it.

I remember the first Earth Day, because I was in high school at the time (please, do NOT do the math) and what an amazing concept it seemed at the time. Pandas, of course have been all over this from even before Earth Day was a “thing”, trying to find ways to reduce our carbonated footprints.

are you SURE it’s not “carbonated”?

well, what if I….

but…WeREndangered!

And I just wanted to send another big pandy thanks to all of my amazing supporters who have ordered stuff from my Pandyland Store, which is a way you can support Panda Satire, and get some cool stuff for around your house as well! Because, you know…

What could be more endangered than joyriding pandas NOT wearing seat belts?

Thanks for Being the Bear, and have a great weekend,
Bob T Panda!

The Pitter Patter of Little Paws, part 7

16 Replies

Things have been rather quiet in San Diego of late, but is that all going to change come July or August? Time will tell, but will the great Wu Self be ready?

What would Wu do?

Some might say that Bai Yun has more than done her part in the great panda proliferation project, but she is such a wonderful panda mom, it would be lovely to see her with one more cub. I’d happily volunteer to babysit if you know, she gets tired.

You’ll hear all about it here, at The Panda Chronicles, as we listen for the pitter patter of little paws.
