I love my readers.
They send me links to stories about pandas, or about bears, or about totally unrelated things that might need to be addressed by panda satire. For instance, the woman who was stopped going through airport security because the frosting on her cuppycake weighed more than 3 ounces. I mean…wasn’t I OBLIGATED to write a cartoon about that?
The other day, my friend and partner in cuppycake obsession, Vicky Vladic, sent me this story about tourism in Australia. The funny thing is, the TV spot was generated in China. You know I had to do this cartoon:
:o)
Be the Bear!

Oh dear – Mehitabel really did hit those pandas below the belt 🙂
And she says she’s not sorry either.
And she shouldn’t be. After all they did steal her cuppycakes and call her Ma’am!
Mehitabel must take her revenge while she can.
Pandas seem to love behaving badly. Is this some of the Panda Kindy in these commercials? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYz3sl0LEA4
Question about the relief on the bridge… either that panda has a serious urology issue that requires them to urinate from their navel or… !!!???
Yes, pandas do love to behave badly! As you know, it costs a lot of money to keep pandas in bamboo and cuppycakes, so the panda kindergaten does like to pick up work where ever they can. Casting them dor this commercial seemed a natural.
Incannot speak to the anotomical confusion you refer to. Pandas are very mysterious, is all I can say.
Unfortunately I’ve had a few *ahem* anatomy lessons from some rather proud boy pandas during my travels o.O
Oh those show off panda boys! Well, bears will be bears, especially boy bears.
I feel duty-bound to report another video of a panda behaving VERY badly… http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/science/panda-masturbation-video-released-china-4480699
In fact, WWF China is mortified!
Oh, dear…. That was embarrassing….well, panda boys will be panda boys, won’t they? I must register a protest to the statement that captive breeding program results have been”dismal” I don’t think the reporter has totally done their homework on that one. While not all of the captive breeding pairs have been successful, there has been something of a panda baby boom since 2005.
