It’s Fabulous Furry Friday with a NEW cartoon! (I can’t resist a good “scandal”)

2 Replies

One of the most fun things about panda satire is the ability to make fun of things that, quite frankly, aren’t very funny.  Also, you can “imply” things about non-panda related events by portraying it as pandas doing stuff. Just what am I implying here? I’m not telling!

Scandal in our nation’s capitol? I’m shocked!

"It was dark....there were men in masks...."

“It was dark….there were men in masks….”

Thanks for joining the pandas for launch week!  If you can’t access the createspace e-store, you can still find The Panda Chronicles Book 2: Wheel…of…Pandas! on Amazon!   Huzzah!  I think this discount code only works on createspace:

Woo hoo! More Pandas (and Cats!) for Launch week of Book 2 of the Panda Chronicles!

As I noted yesterday, I am humbled and pleased by the wonderful reviews that some of YOU, panda satire fans extraordinaire, have shared on Amazon. I admit (like most authors, even those who aren’t pandas) to having a love /hate relationship with Amazon. I adore my local bookshop, Moonraker Books, in beautiful downtown Langley, and do 99% of my book buying there.  But, Langley is a small town, and if I want to achieve WORLD PANDA SATIRE DOMINATION, not to mention encourage the MacArthur Foundation to add Panda Satire to their list of supported genres, well, we have to take our pandas on the road, as it were.

I hope you will add your voice to those who have already stepped up and said, “Yes!  We love panda satire!  Be the Bear!  Where are the cuppycakes?” Thanks!

Also, I’ve been around and about on the Internet, this time writing a guest post for the fabulous blog, Cordelia Calls it Quits.   I love Cordelia’s posts, which speak to my inner panda (also she has a thing for pandas as well, so, I was thrilled to be asked to write something for her. Check it out here!

And now, will Mehitabel escape from the panda kindergarten?

Run,kitty, run!

Beware, Beware! It’s Panda Scout Cookie Time!

15 Replies

I don’t know about you, but the thing I like best about late February and early March is that it’s Girl Scout Cookie time.  Huzzah!.  The bad thing is that I seem to have developed a sensitivity to chocolate, and so cannot consume vast quantities of Thin Mint cookies, as I once could.  Hmm…maybe that’s a good thing. I only got two merit badges (as opposed to “merit badgers”) when I was a scout, and I think one had to do with baking.  Huzzah!  So, I thought that a little organized scouting might be good for the panda kindergarten.  Build “character” and all that.  What the hey.

On my honor, I will try...to eat as many cookies as I possibly can....

Pass the minty cookies, please.

PS: You will notice that I’ve put the countdown to launch week for The Panda Chronicles Book 2: Wheel…of….PANDAS up in the countdown spot!  Stay tuned, because there will be special treats (not cookies…I ate all of them already) for launch week!  huzzah!

Fuzzy Friday Encores: What Happens in the Panda Kindergarten, Stays in the Panda Kindergarten!

Well, I heard a Facebook rumor in the halls of panda fans, that is too delicious and ripe with possibilities that I cannot afford to disbelieve it.  This rumor, of course, is that an Asian concern has bought a failing Las Vegas Resort, and plans to remodel it and include a multi million dollar PANDA HABITAT.  Could this be true? I am all aquiver with the satirical possibilities that pandas in Vegas affords.

Of course, you remember this cartoon from sometime last year:

What happens in Vegas.....

What happens in Vegas…..

Ah… the possibilities!

Ah springtime, when a Panda’s thoughts turn to….

…appearing on a talk show and airing your dirty linens in public!  Um…that was it, wasn’t it?

"Why didn't we stay home?"

“Why didn’t we stay home?”

* The little “incident thingie” was revealed to us by an enthusiastic panda-attendant at the Edinburgh Zoo last year.  She related the “getting acquainted” foible that occurred when Sunshine and Sweetie got to meet at the “Howdy Gate” shortly after their arrival in Scotland. Rumor has it that Sunshine got so excited at meeting his new lady love, that he did a pandy-handstand right then and there, and…um…peed in Sweetie’s face. Needless to say, this is not the way to impress girls. (Do NOT try this at home.)

I did not make that up.

Well, I hadn’t thought much in advance about what cartoon I was going to post today, so I will now go to the cartoon archives and see what strikes my fancy.  In the meantime, here are some links to some of Doxiemom’s wonderful (and adorable) videos of Mr. Wu.  Sorry, I could not find the one with the leaf, but these videos are guaranteed to make you smile.

Bears are on the ball!

Mr. Wu does still somewhat resemble a soccer ball, so I included this cartoon starring Binky!

Have a fabulous Friday!

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite hobbies is complaining about the most recent changes at fezbook, whatever they are.  As usual, the panda kindergarten is involved. What can I say?  They will get into everything, and they still haven’t filled out their new year’s resolution forms.

An extra new Year’s Message from The Panda Chronicles…

Leave a reply

It has been an amazing year here in pandyland, as I look back on the trials and tribulations, the frolicking and fun, getting to meet some of you in “Tai-land” and looking forward to meeting more of you this spring at the home of Wu, I sit and watch in wonder at it all.

When I started drawing pandas I had no idea where they were going, and no idea that it would continue this long: five years since I started finding pandas on stray pieces of paper in my studio, 4 years since I started the blog, and the last year has accounted for 72% of the traffic here at The Panda Chronicles (thanks to to record keeping software of the folks at WordPress.)  This January also marks another milestone for me…25 years of being totally self employed and supported by my art work.  The last 4 years have not been exactly pain free, economics wise. Some of the galleries where I show my work have closed, some have “reduced their stable,” one just quit paying their artists.(I left that one)  But pandas, while they are not exactly “self-supporting” yet, have lifted my spirits, both as I draw them and more importantly, as you read them.  A work of art, a piece of writing, a foozle* of panda satire, does not really exist until someone other than the person that created it, enjoys it.

Thank you for making my work here live.  You are the bears!

And now, my favorite new year’s eve with the pandy kindy cartoon!

new years eve party, panda kindergarten

The panda kindergarten wishes you a happy New Year!
