Panda-ing Down Memory Lane….

2 Replies

We continue with our Year in Review, because, quite frankly, we got up on the wrong side of the den this year, and we are feeling a bit like those bears that hibernate really have the right idea.  We could just go to sleep for a while, and when we got up, it would be spring, and maybe we would be in a better mood than we are now. so, to cheer ourselves up a little, here are some more of our favorites from 2011!

panda on rocking horse

That one was inspired by some of my favorite videos of the year, of panda kindergarteners on plastic rocking horses. A definite mood enhancer!

And how could we have resisted the story of Mei Lan, the first born panda of Zoo Atlanta , who, it was discovered when she was 5 years old, that she was a he!

See you tomorrow, in a better mood, we hope.

Panda Satire Made Easy

It’s not like it happens every day, but pretty often, someone wants to know where my ideas come from, or if I’m on medication and am I feeling particularly excitable right now.  Well, just to set your mind at rest, “they” tell me I’m not dangerous (at least not at the moment) and I do have a method to my madness in developing ideas for my cartoons.  So, I wrote this little cartoon to explain my thought process. (Or should I say “thought” process?)   Also, Mehitabel was getting downright testy over not being the star in most of the new cartoons.  Personally, she would just as well take the panda kindergarten to the pound and let some other poor soul adopt them.  Alas, poor Mehitabel.  This is just not to be.

Also, I’d like to welcome our new subscribers!  Having people enjoy these cartoons helps make life worth living.  (and to all my friends who have to at least pretend to say they are funny, thank you too.)

Atlanta Surprise Part 2

Leave a reply

You can believe us when we say that some things are just too absurd to make up, and this is one of them!  It’s almost as good as a Tea Party press conference!  We now join Bob T Panda and Mehitabel in their ZooNooZ interview with Mei Lan, at the Panda Channel Studios (in an undisclosed location!)  This will definitely go down in Panda History.

We’d like to report, in other exciting panda news (is there any other kind?) that the Australian pandas are “dating”  Stay tuned for further updates.

Be the Bear! (of one gender or another!)

The Atlanta Surprise! (part 1)

Well knock me down and put feathers up my nose, I couldn’t have been more surprised at the news coming from the Panda Ranch and Day Spa in Chengdu.  Yup,  Mei Lan, Atlanta’s Beauty turns out to be a boy!  I suppose Lun Lun knew, but for some reason she didn’t say anything.  Panda watchers are all scratching their heads in wonder and embarrassment, no doubt.

Here’s the first of 2 cartoons on the subject, so hot off the press our pen is still smoking!

Stay tuned for the 2nd installment (Yes there really is one, it’s just not done yet)!

Till then, here is a little seasonal cheer from the Institute of Contemporary Panda Satire!
