Dancing in the moonlight with Pandas

Dancing the "red dot" dance in the moonlight with Pandas!

In honor of the last 5 (or is it now 4?) hours of my Kickstarter project, I thought that I would do the Red Dot Dance under the moon (with pandas).  For anyone who was in my neighborhood last night, I hope you were not shocked.  Apparently the dance is working, but we’re not quite done yet.  I still need $700 more to reach my goal and get all the funding.

Thank you for all your help so far.  I couldn’t do it without you all (and you know who you are!)

The panda kindergarten swears that they will release Mehitabel as soon as my goal is reached.  (They caught her again, as she was making a break for the front door)

You are all the bear!

Be the Bear!!!!!!

Only 27 Hours to go….

I hate to be whiney in my posts here at the Panda Chronicles, but unless 101 more people pledge $25 (or more!) my kickstarter campaign will leave me kicked in the butt.  (and there is no telling what the panda kindergarten will do to Mehitabel!)  So, if you are at all inclined to do so, check out my project at:

Bob, Babette and all the other pandas thank you!  No matter what, you all are da bears!

Kitten escape! The story continues!

Before we get to our feature presentation today,  I’d like to give myself and all the pandas (AND MEHITABEL, didn’t you mean to say?)  a quick pat on the head because we are less than 300 visits away from reaching 20,000 visits to The Panda Chronicles.  I don’t know what this means in the real world, except that maybe you, dear reader, are coming back again and again and telling your friends, or mentioning it on your blogs.  So whatever your doing, thanks. Be the Bear!

Run,kitty, run!

A big thanks and a Roll of Honor entry to Linda M. for her suggestion relating to cats and toilet paper!  You da bear!

Mehitabel eludes the panda kindergarten…but for how long?

Mehitabel's great escape....

We last saw Mehitabel being carried away as hostage to the panda kindergarten, who, in their own misguided way, were attempting to inspire people to sign on to the cartoon boss’s Kickstarter proposal.  Several people signed on, but not nearly enough.  Fortunately for Mehitabel, it distracted the panda kindergarten so that she could make an escape.  But this is no time to relax!  They are still after her!  Can Mehitabel outrun the panda kindergarten?  Will she reveal her hiding place after the insult of being called “Mr. Kitty?”  The saga continues.  4 days left to support this worthy project!

We weren’t surprised, were you?

And the envelope, please...

 

It was no surprise that Babette de Panda won the oscar for “Best Female cartoon panda in a movie of 2 minutes or less”  for her role in “Your Brain on Pandas:the Movie.”  We see her here, accepting her award, with the filmmaker and perhaps her paramour (?) Bob T. Panda.  A night on the town is certain to follow!  Hope the panda-razzi don’t catch her in any compromising situations.  A special thanks to her wardrobe consultant and designer of her fabulous gown, Sylvia C..  Well done!

Tune in to morrow to find out if Mehitabel can escape the panda kindergarten.

Be the Bear!

And now, to be completely serious….no, really.

Note: No cats were actually harmed during the making of this cartoon, although they definitely were offended.

 

Yes it’s true, I am not a cartoon panda (sorry if I’ve surprised or disappointed anyone)  and I really do have a Kickstarter project that still has a long way to meet my funding goals in only 7 days.  I usually don’t cross pollinate my blogs, or the different parts of my creative life, but I’m making an exception here.  Please check out my project at the following link.  Even if you can’t help, maybe the extra traffic will encourage the folks at Kickstarter to give me a little extra exposure, so please visit and recommend to your friends and readers, if you see fit.  Here’s the link:

We now return to our regular scheduled silliness.  You are all the Bears for following the Panda Chronicles.  It’s thanks to you all that I am about to reach 20,000 visits!  (or maybe my brother visited 20,000 times?)

Ok, NOW it’s Fat Tuesday (or is it Pudgy Wednesday?)

We could hardly keep Babette‘s feet on the ground, once she realized that, not ONLY has she been nominated for best panda in a short feature film, (Your Brain on Pandas: The Movie)  but that she would lead the Panda Krew in the All Panda Fat Tuesday celebration in New Orleans!  We apologize that our footage of the festivities was unavailable yesterday, but it seems that we had some technical difficulties which prevented us from showing the film yesterday.  Without any further delay, Here is:

All Panda Fat Tuesday!

Till next time,  Be the Bear!
