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?)

Because I do it the old fashioned way (with a technical pen) pandas take a long tome to color it their black bits, so it’s Fat Tuesday on wahoo Wednesday!

Procrastination is a many splendored thing…..

Hey, remember oh, a month or so (or so…) ago and TheRubbe gave me the versatile blogger award….well, I did part of the required dealy-bobs you have to do, thank the giver of the award, tell 7 things about yourself that the bloggosphere doesn’t know, and then pass the award on to 7 more people. Well, I kept putting off granting the award to more people, which, like my usual response to chain letters, drops it dead in it’s tracks. Part of my procrastination had to do with I wasn’t sure if there were 7 blogs that I follow, and then there is all the technical stuff of looking up their addresses and putting them on the blog and contacting them and blah blah blah.

Not nearly so much entertainment as playing with the panda kindergarten. But fulfilling these duties is part of that which makes the blog world go round. Some of the things I like about this place is that:

1. People accept me as a cartoon panda. (HA HA!)

2. I’ve connected with people who are cartoonists or writers or just interesting and those connections feel real, not virtual. Maybe that is an illusion, but it is a comforting one, nonetheless!

3. I have insinuated the word “cuppycakes” into common usage.

Is that cool or what
So, Here is my list of blogs that I recommend, with perhaps a short note about why I like them.
