Fabulous Furry Friday Gets Ready….
…for 31 Days of Pandas!!!!!
I am making a bit of a change to this years festivities, as with my various projects, I am a bit overloaded to do a new cartoon every day. (Booo! Hisss! Quiet in the cheap seats, you pandas!)
As you might remember, I am working on revising my story about Mr. Wu and Inspector Panda, where they are faced with a painting that may (or may not) have been stolen. Not to mention an international panda of mystery! Anyway, here is my plan for this year’s 31 Days of Pandas:
A new cartoon posted every Sunday, multiple episodes each day from some of my longer stories, and, sketches from my work in progress, staring the aforementioned Mr Wu in what I hope will be my first traditionally published middle grade graphic novel. But have no fear! Should the folks in trad. publishing say, “oh no! this is too weird! We can’t publish this! A Panda Detective? Bah, Humbug!” We will bring it to you as all the other Panda Chronicle books have been brought to you, via Leaping Panda Press! Huzzah!
So to get us off to a good start, here are the drawings that I have come up with so far, along with some colorful character sketches.
Yes, Mr. Wu gets to be the smart one!
Hmmm…there is something familiar about this scene…
Mr Wu and Inspector Panda…a dapper duo, if I ever saw one!
Babette, Minette, and several views of Mr Wu.
And because we need to laugh….
“I didn’t know lawyers could run so fast” hahahahahahahaha!
Be the bear!

Happy 31 Days of Pandas!
Oh yeah! and don’t forget to give the Gift of Pandas this year! Please visit my book page as well as my page on Fine Balance Images’ Gratitude Gallery, where you can buy beautiful full color reproductions of some of my favorite illustrations from Pandamorphosis. and for you black and white Friday special, don’t forget Pandyland, where you can buy “Vote for Bob” and “Pinky for President” gifts to delight your friends and family. Or buy them for yourself…I won’t tell.
On the 10th, 11th, and 12th Day of Crisp-Moss:
Yes, and technically speaking, 31 Days of Pandas is over, but as I ran out of month before I ran out of verses, (and certain, shall we say, impatient, members of our audience wanted us to just get on with it and post the whole darn thing) we bring you the last three days of Crisp-Moss all at once.
Huzzah!
And now, The Institute of Contemporary Panda Satire presents:
The 12 Days of Crisp-Moss!!!!!
On the twelfth day of Crisp-Moss, My Panda cam Did See….
MX: no, Pinky, you may NOT have a Bamboo-tini!
I can’t hear you….
F-F-F-FI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-VE Cuppycaaaaaaakes!
whew!
Once more with feeling….And a Pinky in a Hemlock Tree!
Everybody sing!
Okay, is everyone ready to sing? (and personally, I think that the NZ Panda-Nanny staff would love, love, love it if you serenaded them with this song, tomorrow when you go to visit Pinky and Mum and Dad at the zoo.)
On the Twelth day of Crispmoss, my panda cam did see:
Twelve Pinky Presents,
Eleven Bamboo-tinis,
Ten Pandas Leaping,
Nine Pandarinas,
Eight Santa’s sleigh bears,
Seven pandas chasing,
Six pandas driving,
FII-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-VE CUPPYCAAAAAAAAAAAKES!
Four pandas sneaking,
Three triplets napping,
Two Meihems plotting
and
A Pinky in a Hemlock Treeeeeeeeeeeee!
Huzzah! And because as I type this, it is New Year’s Eve (well, except in the places where it is already the New Year) I leave you with the panda kindergarten, celebrating New Year’s Eve in their own very special way.
Happy New Years, from The Institute of Contemporary Panda Satire!
I can’t tell you enough times or how much it means to me, that you have chosen to be the bears. Thank you all, and the happiest of New Years.

Just checking.
Be the (singing) Bear,

PS: just a reminder that there are only 3 more days to have your Panda Chronicles Books purchases (and Pandamorphosis) result in a donation for Pandas International! We love all the work that PI does for pandas! Remember, without real pandas, panda satire wouldn’t be funny!

31 Days of Pandas: Day 22
Well.
Babette has absconded with all the paintings that the panda kindergarten art historians had so painstakingly collected, taking off for parts unknown on the S.S. Tipandic. Will we ever see Babette or the paintings again? Hmmm…I think they (or at least Babette) may turn up sooner or later. Thus, The Case of The Picturesque Panda draws to a close. And because I have them done, and because I have an idea for the rest of 31 Days of Pandas, I give to you, as my little gift, both today’s as well as tomorrows episodes. Which means I have to get back to work to get tomorrow’s holiday extravaganza started.
Oh well…a panda satirist’s work is never done.
“hey boss, am I going to get paid for this?”
“Um…well, you are what is known as an unpaid intern.”
Can you believe those Meihems? Blaming everything on Pinky? At least the mystery of Mr. Wu’s tape has been solved.
Keep being the bear!

31 days of Pandas: Day 19
…and not only is it 31 Days of Pandas: Day 19, it is also Fabulous Furry Friday! Huzzah! There are only a few more episodes of Inspector Panda’s first full length mystery, The Case of the Picturesque Panda, and I have a question for everyone.
What would you think if I released it as an e-book, as a short work all by itself? Would this be of interest to anyone? Write me in the comments as an informal poll. Eventually it will be published in an all Inspector Panda print book of the Panda Chronicles, but it will take a while before I have enough new Inspector Panda pages to do that.
Meanwhile, Babette is hatching the next part of her plan….
Getting out the back, Jack….
And meanwhile, on The Cuppycake Cookbook front, here is another version of the Princess Pinky Cuppycake!
Good enough for a princess to eat!
Until tomorrow,
Be the Bear

31 Days of Pandas: Day 18
OMG did you see that? The Case of the Picturesque Panda is getting out of control!
I think Lun Lun is going to have to have a little discussion about ladylike behavior, don’t you?
…and what is it about Mr. Wu and his tape, which is now securely back on his ear? ( We are going with the narrative assumption that it is still sticky, so I don’t want to hear any comments about that!) And where has that sneaky Babette de Panda gotten off to?
Be the Bear!

PS: only 12 more days to bring panda satire into your life and help Pandas International!
