About Panda in Chief

Anne Belov paints, writes, makes prints, and is the founder of The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire. You can find her paintings at the Rob Schouten Gallery and Fountainhead Gallery, her cartoons on The Panda Chronicles, and her new book here. She also writes regularly for The Whidbey Life Magazine, a free journal of art and culture on Whidbey Island. Her main regret in life is that there is no MacArthur Grant for Panda Satire.

Don’t Say No to Panda-ing!

We continue with political madness, panda style.  We do feel that we need to comment on a video that has swept the “interwaves”.

It is a compilation of several commercials for Panda Brand cheese and milk products.  We at Way Better Than Working and P.A.N.D,A. International would like to make it clear that we do not have any knowledge that Bob T. Panda starred in or even approved of this commercial. He did think it was pretty funny, though.

Did You Know….

That pandas appeared at the 1986 (?) Olympics in Los Angeles CA, and then visited the San Francisco Zoo for a month?  We pandas certainly get around, don’t we?

More tomorrow (including another cartoon celebrating(?) November election madness.

Join the Cake Party Today!

Okay, let’s take a poll here. How many of you are tired of hearing the phone ring, and then  realizing it’s a “robo-call”, telling you what a lying, sack of $#!* their opponent is, and as soon as you hang up from that call, the phone rings again and it’s the first guy’s opponent, saying what a lying sack of $#!* the OTHER guy is.  It’s more than a Panda can bear. (Get it?)  Well, we of the Cake Party are calling for a more civilized discourse, and for getting the bad taste of over-brewed tea out of our mouth.  Are we getting into the line of fire? Hmmmm…. who knows?  Can’t everyone just behave and be nice? And maybe stick to actual facts?

Great Moments in Panda History!

We at Way Better Than Working Inc. have been avidly reading The Way of the Panda, and so have been inspired to make our own, unique (some would say irreverent and sophomoric) comment on PANDAS IN HISTORY.   I know, I know, the use of all cap. bold font is incredibly melodramatic and pretentious, but hey, that’s the way we do things around WBTW.  Ruth Harkness and Su-lin were real people (and pandas) from panda history.  I first read of her in Vicki Croke’s MOST excellent book, The Lady and the Panda. We plan to do lots of reading about pandas, thanks to Henry Nicholls thorough reading list in T W of the P. Oh dear, we are sort of getting serious and academic here and that is certainly NOT how we usually do things around here.  Have no fear! we will take Vicki and Henry’s fascinating research and turn it to our own nefarious and satirical purposes.

More on the Importance of Being Pandish

Well I just received my copy of The Way of the Panda, by Henry Nicholls, F.O.P. (Friend of Pandas) and was pleased to see that the photo of my childhood at one the the panda ranches did not end up on the cutting room floor.  I should point out that it was NOT me on the far left.  I would never do such a thing.  Anyway, The Way of the Panda is a real book and you should buy it. ( Avasilable soon from Amazon.com)  Till next time,

Be the Bear!!!!!
