Gosh, we hope not! In fact, we are hoping for even more pandas to grace our fair shores. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, there are high level panda procurement talks happening between China and Washington state. All pseudo thumbs crossed for a panda invasion to my home sweet home state!
Meanwhile, pandas are waiting to sing the next verse of…
Oh no! Not again!
FIIIIIVE cuppycakes!
whew!
Keep Being the Bear!

Could it really be true? Could we be starting the countdown to the new year already?
Well, yes we could. In some ways the year flew by, and in other ways it was excruciatingly long. We have a new panda cub in Washington DC, twins in Toronto, and now the faintest glimmer of the possibility of pandas in the Pandacific Northwest. Huzzah!
And now, for the last new cartoon of the new year, I offer this, as my wish for the new year, probably guaranteed to delight and annoy, in equal measure. Feel free to tell me what you think in the comments, but I won’t post anything really mean or abusive. Other than that, have at it!
Consider this my Werld Peez Pandifesto
No fairs unka bob, indeed!
Well, why the heck not?
Isn’t that just the cutest thing?
Vote for Pinky. Do YOU want to explain why you didn’t?
Hey! Why NOT vote for Bob? Peace, prosperity, and buy stuff with pandas!
Be the Bear,
Bob T. Panda
So did Santa bring you everything you wanted?
No, me neither. But right around the corner is a brand new year, all shiny and untouched by tragedy and meanness. A new year full of hope and possibility.
I had hoped to have some early sketches of my new work in progress, but I am not that far along yet. You can be sure that when I get there, I will be sharing it right here!
On January 3rd, I will go back to my regular schedule, so no more pandas every day, (boo! hiss!) BUT, two new ‘toons per week, plus encore presentations for Fabulous Furry Fridays (yay! Huzzah!) There’s something to be said for that, right?
Oh…could you not sing while eating leftover fruitcake? Especially not with your computer’s webcam turned on… Ick!
HOW many more days are there?
Are you singing?
Don’t forget to tune in tomorrow for a brand new cartoon, starring all of your favorite pandas! While this will be the last NEW ‘toon of the year, I am already hard at work writing and drawing new cartoons starring all of you favorite pandas! I hope I will see you all then!
Be the Bear,

Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….
Babette at the ice skating rink in Rockefeller center a few years ago with her good friend Frances A.
A Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you for stopping by and being the bears, thank you for buying my books and stuff with pandas on it, thank you for thinking I’m funny, and telling me when you think I’m not. (Not that I pay any attention to that, but I still appreciate hearing that I’ve seriously annoyed you!)
The world has gotten smaller and farther apart all at the same time. It turns out that our friends we make here in cyberland, are just as important to us as our friends in the real world. Sometimes we only find that out when we lose one, and then it is too late. My holiday wish is that more people choose hope, peace, and black and white bears over hating and killing. Oh, and that there should be more cuppycakes that don’t make us..um..more pandaesque, but still taste really good.
Which reminds me…
FIIIIIVE cuppycakes! ( Sing this one REALLY LOUD!!!!!!)
whew!
And because I’ve been very very very (mostly) good, can we please have pandas move to Washington State?
I hope you get to spend today (and every day, actually) with people you love, eating cake. Hey! bears do not live by bamboo alone!
Be the Bear,

You better watch out
and listen up good,
and don’t ever say that
Pinky’s no good.
Pinky Paws is coming to town
She’s making a list
of political foes,
this is one place
you don’t want to go,
Pinky Paws is coming to town.
She knows where you are sleeping,
so don’t make no mistake.
If you are good to Pinky,
she’ll share some cuppycakes!
You better watch out….
I could not, could not, COULD NOT resist making a mug design for Bubba. Stay tuned next month for more Bubba gear to celebrate his public debut (or is that DeBOO?) next month.
Recent postings of relative cub weight at the approximate number of days of age reveals that Bubba is not only larger than either of his two siblings were at the same age, but also larger than all of the cubs born at the San Diego Zoo. So….
Of course, it is available at Pandyland, my CafePress store.
Isn’t that just the cutest thing?
Keep being the bear! Tomorrow stay tuned for the 12 days of Crispmoss!

We are back with another holiday classic, It’s a Wun-derful Life! Huzzah! Mr Wu is given the gift of seeing what the world would be like if he had never been born. But why are we standing around here talking?
Thank goodness Bee the Bear still has her magical wand from the last adventure.
Wu is a good bear at heart….
Oh the suspense is killing me! What is going to happen next?
Be the Bear!

PS: Several people commented that they wished the PandyClaws and his sleigh (and a tiny Pinky Panda) image was on a coffee mug. Well, guess what! Now it is!
Have yourself a Pandy little Christmas…
It’s Day 13 of 31 Days of Pandas, and as promised, today we have a new cartoon featuring Bubba (and of course his big sister Princess Pinky) and today Bubba get’s his official Panda Chronicles outfit! Like Pinky with her tutu and tiara, and the Meihem twins with their Panda Scout Uniforms, I knew Bubba would need a signature outfit to show to the world.
What the well dressed panda cub is wearing this season!
And look! He got a little extra present too!
Thanks to Cyndi Anderson who reminded me of the propeller beanie! And if you enjoy these ‘toons, please share them with your panda/humor loving friends. The best way to ensure world domination of panda satire is to share it with your friends!
Huzzah! And did you notice that today is sort of a numerical palindrome? Day 13-31 Days…okay, I did say sort of.
See you tomorrow for the start of It’s a Wun-derful Life!
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
We’re making a list,
Of presents and stuff,
We hope we get lots,
Or we’ll be real gruff,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!
We put out some cake
With frosting galore,
Hey that looks good,
Maybe I should have more,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!
He knows where you are sleeping,
And when you are awake.
He’s got a list from Pinky,
That will cause his sleigh to break!
Oh!
You better not get
Into Pinky’s way.
You have been warned ,
That’s all I can say,
Pandy Claws is coming to town!!!!!!
Leaping out of his holiday wrapping, we want to take this little gift home with us!
…Naughty or Nice? you decide!
There’s nothing on earth that I’d rather do….
Have yourself a pandy little Christmas….I think this might need to be a holiday mug!
Be the bear!

And don’t forget, tomorrow we reveal Bubba’s official Panda Chronicles outfit! Don’t miss it!
Huzzah! We are back again for 31 Days of Pandas, and our encore presentation of The Wizard of Wu! Yesterday, the Wicked Cat Witch of the West sent her henchpandas out to capture Wu and his magical bunny slippers! Will they succeed? Let’s find out!
Evilness is one thing, but there must be snacks!
Well,lookee here! isn’t that….?
Uh oh! Am I going to leave you with only two more episodes to go? Well, yes I am. Bwahahahaha! Will the identity of the wizard be revealed? will wu get home safely? will there be cuppycakes for all?
Tune in tomorrow to see if all has ended happily! although, if you already had The Book of Wu, you would know the answer to these questions. Just saying.
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
31 Days of Pandas, day 6, and at last! A new ‘toon!
It was Bubba’s 100th day birthday earlier this week, and the panda fans of DC gathered to celebrate, even though the guest of honor has not yet made his public debut! Thanks to my good friend and videographer to the (panda) stars, Doxie M Panda (my cousin on my mother’s side), we can see some of the highlights (so far!) of Bubba’s first 100 days.
Princess Pinky is looking forward to another kind of first 100 days, but maybe she shouldn’t count her chickens too soon and all that.
Meanwhile, let’s join the celebration…
Happy 100th day Birthday! More frosting!
Tomorrow, we rejoin Mr. Wu and the whole cast of The Wizard of Wu, as the story continues. If you are tuning in late, you can start here.
I would also like to send out a birthday greeting to one of Princess Pinky’s most faithful pandarazzi! Happy Birthday Daniel Reidel. May your lens never fog, may your batteries be fully charged, and may Princess Pinky never grab the camera out of your hands and demand a ransom to get it back. Have a cuppycake! Huzzah!
Be the bear ya’ll and thank you for visiting!
