Oh no, not again….

For all those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas in your mailbox, we’ve had another slight setback. Those who are following along on my Kickstarter project may remember that when I got my proof copy of the book, all the left-hand pages were printed sideways. So I spent some time on the phone with a helpful person who said they could fix the problem, not my fault and all that, and they would send me another proof.

So they did, and guess what? The left-hand pages of THIS book were printed sideways.

sigh…..

Back to the phones once again. I really hope that they can fix it this time….I am one unhappy bear. And now, here’s one of my adventures from:

LITERATURE…OF THE…PANDAS!!!

so what’s the big deal…

…about punctuation?

Waiting, waiting, waiting……

Be the bear!

We are away from the panda den right at the moment, but the panda kindergarten…um…”borrowed” someone’s laptop so that they could post this tribute to Peanuts, the comic strip of Bob’s cubhood.

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

And by the way, the Kerfuffles Marshmallow project is in their final 12 hours! Check ’em out at Kickstarter while there is still time to get in on the fluffy goodness!

Sigh…

It’s the first week of October, and you know what that means.

Yes, this is the week the Mac Arthur Fellowships start getting awarded. And, as far as I know, there is still no category for “Panda Satire.”

Go Figure.

When will panda satire have it’s day?

Sigh…

Well, enough with the sad panda faces. One of the things that I love about pandas (besides being one myself) is that pandas never give up, no matter how hard things get. A late (as in gone from this earth) gardener friend had a theory about plants. She said that they entice you with their beauty or their fragrance, so that you would get down in the dirt and do stuff for them like water or weed around them. Maybe the plant was one that provided food, but mostly they had no purpose but to be beautiful, and they made that work for them so that you, the gardener, would support their existence.

Pandas are a little like that. They are the very definition of high maintenance girl friends. (Take Babette de Panda for instance…) It is really, really expensive to have a panda around, but it’s worth it! Well, I would say that, wouldn’t I? The recent tragic loss at the National Zoo in Washington DC underscores just how delicate they are as newborns. But those which survive bring enjoyment and grace in ways which can’t be measured.

OK. Now let’s get funny!

Bob T. Panda is running for president! Huzzah! Let’s see what the Cake Party has to offer to the American voter!

Vote for Bob!

And did I mention that we have now had over 40,000 visits to the pandas here at The Panda Chronicles? Stay tuned during this election season for more from the party of pandas! There will be cake! Huzzah!

The Panda Kindergarten is now in session….

I always like September, well, at least now that I don’t actually HAVE to go back to school, that is, but it still, oh these many years later, (don’t ask) gives me a burst of energy to get back into the studio and actually get something done. The panda kindergarten is no exception and they absolutely PROMISE to be much better behaved this year. (Although I think I saw some paws crossed behind their backs when they said that.)

Meanwhile, back at the Kickstarter ranch, we are at 86% with only 6 days to go! For those of you not following or yet on board with the Kickstarter project (ahem) hope you will check it out, because we have big, pandy plans here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire! I’d like to unveil the third in the triumvirate of panda posters (starting with “30 days of Pandas,” moving on to “Bee, the Bear,” and now we present:

Fezbook: The Mobile App!

What could be more fun than a car full of pandas?

and now, for our “back to school cartoon feature”, we present the panda kindergarten in “Classroom Follies!”

Huzzah!

“Class….Claaaas….CLASS!!!!!!!!!

Bee, the Bear!
