And here is the episode you’ve been waiting for, enlightenment and redemption (and cuppycakes) are sure to follow.
And now, episode eight of It’s a WUnderful Life:
Everytime a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Tune in tomorrow for the dramatic conclusion! Huzzah!

And a big pandy thank you to Vicky Vladic for her line: Every time a bell rings, a panda gets a cuppycake.
Here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we are getting ready for the onslaught of shock and dismay (not to mention some amount of yelling, at your story-telling editor, in the comment section.
You are REALLY going to hate today’s cartoon.
Just trust me, ‘kay?
Repeat after me, “It’s a story” ‘kay?
Be the Bear,

I know in the original movie, all the action takes place on Christmas Eve, but frankly, I just can’t draw that fast. So BEAR with me, ‘kay? (I should probably make some kind of new year’s resolution about giving up making terrible puns, but you know, it’s just not gonna happen. Let’s all just move on.)
So, while all the pandas in real life are now partying at mama Bai Yun’s place, in pandyland, it’s time for episode 3 of It’s a WUnderful Life! Huzzah!
Bee the bear tells it like it is: every panda matters.
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…oh wait…sorry, that was the last adventure!
There’s more coming your way tomorrow! Merry Christmas to all!
Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….
Be the Bear,

One of the fun thing about making comics, is creating characters and their “back stories.” Babette de Panda is actually not my invention at all, but she has come to the enchanted bamboo forest where she hangs out with Bob T., Mehitabel and the panda kindergarten. By generous permission of her very good friend and confidant, Victory Schouten, (poet Laureate of Greenbank Farm, and co-owner of the Rob Schouten Gallery) Babette appears in my cartoons. I hope (and have reason to believe) that the in stories that she appears in, I have kept her character in tact, and had her act in ways that are consistent with what I know of her.
Sometimes I find myself just “going along for the ride” with the pandas and don’t always feel that I am in control of their actions, especially when the panda kindergarten is involved.
What could be more fun than a car full of pandas?
Recently a new panda showed up on my doorstep (or was that in my head?) and here is what I know about her. She is a member of the incoming class in panda kindergarten, She is a little shy, but very precocious. Oh, and she likes to dress up like a bee. And now, she has insinuated herself into an island business, Eddy’s on Whidbey, where she will start appearing on tee-shirts and other things. She is just buzzing with excitement. She also has a poster already and that is more than Babette can say. (and don’t think I haven’t gotten an earful on THAT matter!)
I hope you will give a warm welcome to:
Bee, the Bear
Be the bear!

Well it has been quite the trill, and it’s not…quite…over.
There are about 40 hours to go until my project closes on Kickstarter, so if you haven’t signed up to get a book or a poster or Bob T. Panda for President bumper stickers, there is still time. If you already are a supporter, now you get to sit back or jump around the room yelling “HUZZAH!!!!!! BRING ON THE CUPPYCAKES.!!!” Your work is done, at least for now. Later you will have to tell me where to send all of your goodies, but that isn’t for a few days. Oh yeah, and pay your credit card bill that Amazon will so sweetly send to you, but again, that is later.
Right now, Babette has a few words to say to you and I’m sure she wants to thank you for supporting my project, don’t you, Babette? Babette?
Babette and Bee, the Bear have a “discussion”
I am working on setting up the book even as we speak, but I want to thank the faithful followers of The Panda Chronicles once again. I really could not have done it without you, and I just want you to know that the panda kindergarten PROMISES there will be NO monkey business when they pack and ship your books to you. Really. They pinky swore and everything!
Well, now maybe we can quit spending all out time jumping up and down and watching the numbers change, and get some more new cartoons done, eh?
Bob T. Panda
Oh, yeah….Did we mention that we have reached 39,000 visits? Huzzah! I’m popular! finally! Just goes to show you that it’s never too late to have a happy childhood.
