I have to start this post by thanking a tireless promoter of all things panda on Facebook.  DoxieMom Pandamonium (not her real name, I would guess)  posts compilation videos from the panda cams streamed from the US zoos, often Zoo Atlanta, since that is the home of our nations youngest panda.  This is a huge amount of work, as she has to watch hours of videos to get these little 1.5 minute gems.  Every once in a while she mentions that she doesn’t know how much longer she can do this, so we all whine and plead and then she relents and keeps doing it.  She often gives these videos really clever names that leave me laughing out loud, and Mehitabel glaring at me from her perch on my drawing table, because I’ve disturbed her beauty sleep.  Her most recent one was so funny (and such a great video that I’m not even going to admit how many times I have watched it) that the only thing I could think to do was steal the title for this cartoon.  But I’m putting her on the Roll of Honor, so I hope she will forgive me.

DoxieMom Pandamonium : you are da Bear! Welcome!

So without any more fol-der-al, here is today’s 2012 Panda Preview of upcoming cartoons!  (I stole this idea from Doonesbury ….if you are going to steal stuff, steal from the best, I always say!)

Be the Bear!
