Hmmm… what is that rope behind the flying panda? Could it be a clue to the location of panda # 13? Tune in tomorrow and find out!

Did you not hear it here first? Did I not, more than two weeks ago, mention that the pandas would have their own Panda clan tartan? And now, I read this story on Panda News:

I ask you, does The Panda Chronicles know everything first, or what?

Out here in the Pacific Northwest we have a lot of weather that looks like those traditional Chinese landscape paintings, you know, kind of monochrome, lots of mist, rain, grayness, bases of mountains disappearing in the fog. But has anyone sent us a couple of pandas? Noooooooooooo they have not. Whats up with that, I ask you? Seems like one demand that should be made in the Occupy Wall Street movement is more pandas for the United States, especially in the Pacific Northwest. We have the weather that pandas like (or at least they are used to it, so they probably wouldn’t complain much) so we should have some.
Pandify Wall Street. That’s what I say!
Nobody expects the panda kindergarten!

Nobody expects the Panda Kindergarten! Or was that the Spanish Inquisition? No matter. While the tune Scotland the Brave runs through my head, the Panda Kindergarten continues to get ready for Tian Tian and Yang Guang‘s arrival. Bagpipes Beware! What next? MacBear, or should I say, The Scottish Cartoon?

Well, we’re not entirely sure, but we think the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire has officially launched our new Panda Commerce Division: PANDYLAND on Cafe Press. You can follow the link in the sidebar under the heading Panda Commerce Division. ( http://www.cafepress.com/pandyland) I am still working out some of the bugs as I am not the most techno sort of panda and I will be adding more designs and cartoons of Bob and his friends to the page. I hope you will feel inclined to invite some pandas to come and live with you! Black and white goes with everything, don’t you think? We really thought it was time that the pandas got off their furry little butts and helped buy all the ink and paper that we use here to make cartoons. The fast food thing was really not working out.
Let me know what you think, and if there is something you would like to be on a t-shirt or anything else, really!
Be the (well dressed) Bear!

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.

So, as we return to our story, after discovering panda videos on youtube, where else was there to go? The Zoo websites, of course! The San Diego Zoo has a wonderful website with a little section called “Meet the Pandas”. I started to notice that pandas don’t all look the same. In fact, one of the pandas pictured look like a real party animal. He seemed to be saying, “Where’s the beer, eh?” even though he isn’t Canadian. This led me to make my own “Meet the Pandas” cartoon.
So that got me thinking, “well, just what do pandas do when they have a potluck dinner party?

Well the wait is over and it is now known that Mei Xiang is not and possibly was never pregnant. While we are sorrowful for this disappointing news, it didn’t stop us from hacking into Mei’s private email correspondence with other pandas at American zoos. Here is a transcript of a number of communications:
firstpanda@nationalzoo.bear to gracelandpanda@memphiszoo.cute : Hey, YaYa. Guess you heard the news by now. I tried to keep the thing going, but finally, I was just tired of the charade. How goes life in the south? LOL
gracelandpanda@memphiszoo.cute to firstpanda@nationalzoo.bear: I feel your pain. The thing is its just way to hot down here to even think about…well you know. And by the way, just ignore anything Lun Lun writes to you. She’ll pretend she’s sympathetic, but she really just wants to brag.
Firstpanda to gracelandpanda: Thanks for the heads up. I put my phone on voice mail so I don’t have to listen to her. Who cares about Po or Pooh’s toilet training anyway? I’m just hoping they’re not going to come up with some excuse to deport us. It’s not MY fault, if you get my drift….
southernbelle@pandamom.cub to firstpanda: Hey sweetie, I keep getting you’alls machine and I just wanted to send my …condolences. Did I tell you about the cutest thing Po did yesterday? Well, I have to go. A mother’s work and all…bye now!
surferbear@sandiegozoo.beach to firstpanda: Hey man, so sorry about your loss or whatever. We’ll all be meditating and lighting incense for you, that is if I can find some matches. After that little incident in the gift shop, they are keeping a close watch on the fire-sticks. Keep the faith. Peace and love….
Well, that’s all we have time for today. Tune in for more of our clandestine look into the private communications of the American panda populace!

Just wanted to give you a heads up that we are still following the drama at the National Zoo, with our first lady of Pandas! Mei is continuing to engage in hinky behavior. Some would say she is milking the situation for all she is worth.
Recent news on panda misconduct reached our enquiring minds last week, when news of Bai Yun’s misconstrued expression of affection gave the mistaken impression that maybe, just maybe, Bai Yun took the tiniest nip of her attendants’s leg. Really tiny, we swear. “Lunch was late.” claims Bai Yun. “I just don’t know what all the fuss is about!”
Bai Yun will be appearing on the Mehitabel Tonite! show later this month, for a special show called, “Pandas who might be the tiniest bit Naughty” Check your local listings!
And a big pandy thank you to our newest subscribers! Be the Bear!!!!!!
See ya next time!
Power to the pandas!!!!!
