I was recently reading a collection of Peanuts cartoons from 1955- 1956.  On reading the endnotes, I discovered that yesterday, February 12, is the 11^th anniversary of Charles Schulz’s death in 2000.  Re-reading those old comics, I was reminded of the debt that most contemporary cartoonists owe to Mr. Schulz.  Among the many personal obligations that I owe, is Lucy’s penchant for emphatic and confident mis-information, which has bestowed much on Bob T. Panda.  I’m sure there is much more, but I’d like to think that I might have at least one original thought in my head. I am eternally grateful.  And Mr. Schulz, if you’re watching from somewhere in the universe, I hope you are pleased with the generations of cartoonists you have inspired.  And one more thing, Be the Bear!

Will Mehitabel find a new job?  Will the panda kindergarten behave? Will there be cake?  For the answer to these questions and more, tune in again next week!

Be the bear!
