I’m sorry, but the party you wish to speak to is all tied up…

The panda kindergarten is "busy" ...can you call back later?

We at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire have long been big fans of Lynda Barry.  While she may not have invented the use of “inappropriate quotation marks,”  she excels in their use.  As I see it, she uses them to shift the meaning of a word or phrase to be more ironic, or to emphasize the word’s inappropriateness.  How cool is that?  I also have always loved how she shines a light on the demeaning jobs that most artists take at the beginnings of their career.  Lynda, you are da bear!

Meanwhile, back at the panda kindergarten,  Mehitabel has gotten her …um…revenge on the panda kindergarten.  But don’t worry, they are working their way loose, even as we speak!  Prepare yourself for Bob’s presidential campaign, more of Babette‘s travels (Italy!!!!!), the 2012 Panda Olympic Games, and Panda Idol, the new Reality TV show about pandas that is sweeping the nation!

Till next time, Be the Bear!

I hate to be whiney in my posts here at the Panda Chronicles, but unless 101 more people pledge $25 (or more!) my kickstarter campaign will leave me kicked in the butt.  (and there is no telling what the panda kindergarten will do to Mehitabel!)  So, if you are at all inclined to do so, check out my project at:

Bob, Babette and all the other pandas thank you!  No matter what, you all are da bears!

We weren’t surprised, were you?

And the envelope, please...

 

It was no surprise that Babette de Panda won the oscar for “Best Female cartoon panda in a movie of 2 minutes or less”  for her role in “Your Brain on Pandas:the Movie.”  We see her here, accepting her award, with the filmmaker and perhaps her paramour (?) Bob T. Panda.  A night on the town is certain to follow!  Hope the panda-razzi don’t catch her in any compromising situations.  A special thanks to her wardrobe consultant and designer of her fabulous gown, Sylvia C..  Well done!

Tune in to morrow to find out if Mehitabel can escape the panda kindergarten.

Be the Bear!

Note: No cats were actually harmed during the making of this cartoon, although they definitely were offended.

 

Yes it’s true, I am not a cartoon panda (sorry if I’ve surprised or disappointed anyone)  and I really do have a Kickstarter project that still has a long way to meet my funding goals in only 7 days.  I usually don’t cross pollinate my blogs, or the different parts of my creative life, but I’m making an exception here.  Please check out my project at the following link.  Even if you can’t help, maybe the extra traffic will encourage the folks at Kickstarter to give me a little extra exposure, so please visit and recommend to your friends and readers, if you see fit.  Here’s the link:

We now return to our regular scheduled silliness.  You are all the Bears for following the Panda Chronicles.  It’s thanks to you all that I am about to reach 20,000 visits!  (or maybe my brother visited 20,000 times?)

Ok, NOW it’s Fat Tuesday (or is it Pudgy Wednesday?)

We could hardly keep Babette‘s feet on the ground, once she realized that, not ONLY has she been nominated for best panda in a short feature film, (Your Brain on Pandas: The Movie)  but that she would lead the Panda Krew in the All Panda Fat Tuesday celebration in New Orleans!  We apologize that our footage of the festivities was unavailable yesterday, but it seems that we had some technical difficulties which prevented us from showing the film yesterday.  Without any further delay, Here is:

All Panda Fat Tuesday!

Till next time,  Be the Bear!

We here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire are pleased and excited to announce that our new fil-um, Your Brain on Pandas: the Movie, is now showing on Youtube, and not only that, it’s been nominated for an Oscar!  (In the category of Best 2 minute film about cartoon pandas.)  be sure to watch it at:

www.youtube.com

We will be back later this evening when our lazy and indolent cartoon-ographer brings you the story of Pandas Fat Tuesday.  (OK, OK, every day is fat something for pandas, but no need to rub it in!)

Till then, here is an earlier panda movie that had rave reviews:

Vote the Panda Party!

It had to happen.  Even with the trials and tribulations of controlling  (HA!) the panda kindergarten, Bob feels that he has no choice but to declare his candidacy  for President.  Of course, there are many questions to be answered.  Does he have to declare zoo panda rental fees in his financial disclosures?  Will Babette be his “first lady”?  Will the panda kindergarten obtain positions in his cabinet?  And what about his birth certificate from the San Diego Zoo?

You can declare your support for a panda in the White House (the first since the Nixon Pandas took up residence there in 1972) by acquiring a Bob T. Panda for President bumper sticker from www.cafepress.com/pandyland

Now, a portion of our meager profits will be donated to Pandas International (no, really, you can ask them!) to support real, actual pandas!  After all, our cartoon ceases to be funny if pandas go extinct!  So, you can skin 2 cats with one purchase, aiding real pandas and declaring your fed-up-ed-ness with politics as usual.  Buy stuff with pandas at Cafe Press Pandyland.  Pandas everywhere will appreciate it.

Be the Bear!
