It’s Monday and there is no new cartoon…..

…but I have a very good excuse! I was at the San Diego Zoo Pandamonium Convention, where pandas from several countries all came together to discuss issues that are affecting pandas. Sort of a Panda World Domination Summit, you might say. Needless to say, there were cuppycakes (and quite good ones too!) and a wonderful time was had by all.

So that I don’t leave your Monday panda-less, here is one of my favorite cartoons (and it’s in Book 2 of The Panda Chronicles: Wheel…of…Pandas!, which is scheduled for release on April 1st, and that’s no foolin’ !)

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

And because I’m just “that kind of bear,” here is another cartoon that appears in the book. I’m hoping that someone will right this terrible wrong before the next round of MacArthur Fellowships:

Why IS there no MacArthur Fellowship for Panda Satire, anyway?

Stay tuned for the debut of The Panda Chronicles Book 2: Wheel…of…PANDAS! with special launch week discounts for faithul followers of The Panda Chronicles! We will also reveal (on Mr Wu Wednesday) some of the stuff we learned at the Panda Convention! (And we will print the transcript of the stirring keynote address, delivered by Mr. Wu himself, about being the youngest member of the great San Diego Panda Dynasty! There wasn’t a dry eye in the house!)

Just in case you were wondering, here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we really hate Monday mornings. Why? because we have to get out of our nice cozy den and go to work. Not to mention that it is 40 degrees and raining. On the other hand, we get to bring you the latest in Panda Satire, so it’s not all bad.

One of Bob’s most endearing qualities is his willingness to believe in the inherent goodness of the panda kindergarten.

Later this week we may have some extraordinary panda history news for you. I’m not going to tell you what it is, but if you know the connection between a New York dress designer, the Brookfield Zoo, and Taxis, you may have a clue to the subject of this news flash.

It’s fabulous Furry Friday….again!

Well, I hadn’t thought much in advance about what cartoon I was going to post today, so I will now go to the cartoon archives and see what strikes my fancy. In the meantime, here are some links to some of Doxiemom’s wonderful (and adorable) videos of Mr. Wu. Sorry, I could not find the one with the leaf, but these videos are guaranteed to make you smile.

Bears are on the ball!

Mr. Wu does still somewhat resemble a soccer ball, so I included this cartoon starring Binky!

Have a fabulous Friday!

Bob Finally Concedes the Election…

12 Replies

We know, we know…the election has been over for months, but we were…um…busy, and besides, Babette de Panda insisted that the panda kindergarten be allowed to recount ALL the votes by..er..paw. Needless to say, votes were eaten, tummies needed to be um..waited on for “evacuation,” cuppycakes needed to be consumed. Sigh… nothing is ever easy around here. Meanwhile, Babette wants to know just what she is meant to do with all those conservative “first girlfriend outfits” that she bought (with Bob’s credit card) for her new role as our nation’s hostess du jour.

Well, three votes isn’t too bad, is it?

And from the tooting-our-own-horn department, it has come to my attention that there is a photo circulating around the internet that shows a congressperson with NASCAR-type stickers all over his suit. I’d like to point out that the original cartoon suggesting this came out a week ago, right here on The Panda Chronicles, so once again, Bob and all the pandas here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire have predicted humor trends once again.

In other Panda News, Young Master Wu, our nation’s youngest (and some might say cutest) panda is about to make his public debut at the San Diego Zoo tomorrow. We are sending the panda kindergarten to report on the story, so don’t forget to tune in next week to see their in-depth coverage of this event! I do hope they don’t get into any trouble!

Days 29 and 30….Well, I’ve done pretty good so far.

Around here we have a saying: “I just HATE my boss! she’s so MEAN!….oh wait, I’m self employed.” So no one busts my chops about not getting work done on time like I do. Glad you all are a little more lenient….um you are, aren’t you? No matter!

So today I have 2 (that’s TWO) cartoons for your panda enjoyment. I also am pleased to say I had several more ideas as I sat drawing these cartoons. Huzzah!

And I bet you are happy to see that Little Mr. Wu is safe and sound!

It’s a little funny to have an actual panda as a character in The Panda Chronicles, as many who follow pandas will worry if I let him get in too much trouble with the panda kindergarten, or be concerned for his safety. Rest assured, I would NEVER let anything happen to his cute Wu self.

Will Bob ever learn NOT to turn his back on the panda kindergarten? No, we didn’t think so, either.

Well, one more day in our 31 Days of Pandas special December Panda Party! Starting in January, we will attempt to publish on an actual schedule. After all, I need to get back to my preparations to publish Book 2 of the Panda Chronicles! It will be even more jam packed with pandas, cuppycakes, and general panda kindergarten mayhem. And yes Babette, you will be prominently featured in MANY cartoons. Now will you quit calling me and leaving..um…”messages” on my voice mail?

I realize I have a drawing to make up as I took Christmas day off (oh, WHAT a slacker!) but I will get caught up this weekend. I was a little late getting todays drawing to you as I had to take the aforementioned errant iMac to the doctor today, as the candles and sacrifices were no longer working.

Meanwhile, while I wasn’t even watching, the “page view count” for the entire existence of this blog reached 50,000! Huzzah! Thank you for making my new years wish come true. Well, I have other wishes, but they are not of the frivolous pandish sort, so this is probably not the time or place for them. Although, if anyone has an inside track with any divine beings, I have a friend who could use a little help right now. Just askin….thanks.

And now for today’s drawing, “TIME for Cuppycakes!”

“OH cuppycake, we could have a wonderful time together.”

Now about those new years resolutions the panda kindergarten is supposed to be writing….

Well, my scanner issues are solved for the moment, though it was not without wailing and gnashing of teeth…the solution is temporary and I think I will have to take my trusty desktop (still running tiger, tiger) but I can scan for now! Huzzah!

So, here are the last two days cartoons, scanned so you can see all that little fine rapidograph line work that makes my drawings so very …um…very.

Day 17…Naughty or Nice? you decide!

Babette, in her leading lady role in Wagner’s Cuppycake cycle

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, another peek into the den of Young Master Wu!!!!! Huzzah! (Oh I just love that panda to pieces!)

Mr. Wu figures out just WHY those so called “Dr. Examinations” happen!

ILLICIT cuppycake distribution is happening on the street? If young pandas can’t get cake at home, who knows where they will turn!

Legalize cake today! Prevent illicit cuppycake activities.
