Well, I’m having a really hard time keeping track of the latest panda. They have sworn to me that Po will be arriving any time now, and that he will be bringing the cake! Can pandas be counted on to keep their word? I think so. What do you think?

We are heading into the home stretch…over the middle of the month, etc. etc. etc. Who is panda #16 waving at? could Po be coming into view?
Be the (16th) Bear!

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.

Oh, the tension is mounting! Will our fearless drawer of pandas be able to keep up with the pressure? 4 days down and 26 to go. Will 26 more pandas fit on this page? And just what is panda # 4 looking at. Tune in tomorrow!

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:

Out here in the Pacific Northwest we have a lot of weather that looks like those traditional Chinese landscape paintings, you know, kind of monochrome, lots of mist, rain, grayness, bases of mountains disappearing in the fog. But has anyone sent us a couple of pandas? Noooooooooooo they have not. Whats up with that, I ask you? Seems like one demand that should be made in the Occupy Wall Street movement is more pandas for the United States, especially in the Pacific Northwest. We have the weather that pandas like (or at least they are used to it, so they probably wouldn’t complain much) so we should have some.
Pandify Wall Street. That’s what I say!
Nobody expects the panda kindergarten!

OK, who out there remembers that commercial on TV (Note: this comes from the time before Tivo) where a TV Doctor starts a commercial by saying” I’m not a doctor, but I play one one television,” and then gives you some advice on aspirin or hemorrhoid cream or something like that. I mean, did anyone actually fall for that? How stupid did they think we were? Don’t answer that. How could I resist the impulse to make this cartoon?
I love my job.

Yes, panda fans, it’s time for the Scottish Play…er…cartoon I mean. Here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire we never miss the opportunity to make fun of current events in the panda world. Well, actually, we’ll make fun of anything, whether it’s about pandas or not. The return of pandas to Great Britain for the first time in almost 40 years is an event to be celebrated! ( My panda historian friends will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Chi Chi, who lived at the London Zoo from 1958 until her death in 1972, was the last panda who lived in Great Britain.
