In light of the upcoming 2012 Olympic games to take place in London this summer, I thought I would occasionally bring you some highlights of Panda Olympics past. As you can see, the panda bobsled team (comprised of the 2010 panda kindergarten) had a few …um…problems.

Cuppycakes are in the news once again! This time, it’s not cuppycake confiscation, but the demise of an American institution…yes, those little packaged snack cakes that are alleged to have a shelf life of a million years, are on their way out!. I suppose that it is no mystery why the maker of Twinkies and Wonderbread has filed for bankruptcy. I can’t remember the last time I ate one. But still….

While the panda kindergarten rallies for the next attack on Bob and Mehitabel, I thought that folks who had discovered the Panda Chronicles more recently would enjoy seeing the kindergarteners in earlier, more innocent times. Of course this was a different group of panda kindergarteners and perhaps they were better behaved in general. It’s so hard to tell with pandas.

We recently came across this work of art, from the 1970’s, the era of “Pop Art” most exemplified by the late Andy Warhol. What is not widely known, is that Andy had a younger brother named “Pandy” who was also an artist, as well as a panda (you can see that Andy’s coloring came from the panda side of the family, although not the general build)
While Andy Warhol claimed that “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes,” his brother Pandy Warhol had a different philosphy. His biographer, Rob S. uncovered this statement: “In the future, everyone will be a panda for 15 minutes.”
Seems like a no-brainer to us!

PS: For Rob’s contribution to the Panda Chronicles, he has earned a place on the Roll of Honor! Congratulations Rob. We knew we’d reel you in eventually.
Well, I wasn’t going to post this until tomorrow, but since in China it is already the Year of the Dragon, I thought I should go ahead and let you in on the P.K.’s celebration.
I’d also like to once again thank all my friends, old and new, who have succumbed to pandaphilia! It’s more fun with you than without you.

Another addition to your paper doll collection! Coming soon! The Panda Kindergarten! Huzzah! Print, cut out and glue to carboard backing and you are ready to populate your house with pandas ( OK, yes, Mehitabel, and cats) If you are new to The Panda Chronicles, Babette’s paper doll appears on December 2, 2011. Bob is carrying his favorite food, a cuppycake.
Be the Bear,
