I swear, I’m working on a new cartoon…where does the time go? Don’t answer that.

Sorry for my lack of post yesterday. The Panda Kindergarten went to hear Chris Van Allsburg and Sherman Alexie speak in Seattle at the public library. But never fear, I had pandas waiting in the wings, so both Sunday’s and today’s pandas appear this morning. The panda kindergarten was mostly well behaved on their outing, but you know the panda kindergarten. “Mostly well behaved” is as good as it gets.
Be the Bear.

To celebrate the panda birthday season (including my own) we have instituted the Panda-a-Day Challenge for the month of November. To successfully complete this challenge, I must draw 30 pandas on this 8 1/2 x 12 paper, fit all 30 pandas in, and have it come out looking like something that I don’t want to throw in the trash. Note from Mehitabel: What? You couldn’t do CATS?????? I also plan ( hope, dream, endeavor…whatever) to continue my regular post of cartoons, not to mention the exciting conclusion of the Versatile Blogger award posting. So without further blathering, here is the first entry to 30 days- 30 pandas:

It’s not like it happens every day, but pretty often, someone wants to know where my ideas come from, or if I’m on medication and am I feeling particularly excitable right now. Well, just to set your mind at rest, “they” tell me I’m not dangerous (at least not at the moment) and I do have a method to my madness in developing ideas for my cartoons. So, I wrote this little cartoon to explain my thought process. (Or should I say “thought” process?) Also, Mehitabel was getting downright testy over not being the star in most of the new cartoons. Personally, she would just as well take the panda kindergarten to the pound and let some other poor soul adopt them. Alas, poor Mehitabel. This is just not to be.
Also, I’d like to welcome our new subscribers! Having people enjoy these cartoons helps make life worth living. (and to all my friends who have to at least pretend to say they are funny, thank you too.)

Don’t ask me why, but I started to think that my panda friends were leading a drab, black and white existence. Not that there is anything wrong with glorious Black and White, but you know, a bear gets bored sometimes. So I started playing around with some colored backgrounds. I’ll be introducing them on the Pandyland Cafe Press store soon. Let me know what you think about the technicolor backgrounds!
Be the (princess) Bear!
