Pandas hit the top 100!!!!!!!!

Well, I don’t know about you, but there is a certain excitement that comes with higher recognition.  While pandas are the rock stars of any zoo (sorry tigers…you’re just big stripe-y cats, and you know where cats stand in relation to pandas) we are shy and retiring and not entirely sure of our acceptance in society.  People have such an attitude about bears!

We at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire would like to thank all our faithful readers, even the ones who found us accidentally when they were looking for hair replacement therapies, not BEAR replacement therapies.

We hope to find where we stashed our story about PandAir so that we can bring it to you soon!

till then,

Be the Bear!!!!!!

What’s in a Name?

Leave a reply

What is in a name?  Would a panda by any other name be as cute?  The Atlanta Zoo has chosen to name their newest little panda after a hollywood cartoon character.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen Kung Fu Panda at least 3 times,  as we get a serious kick out of watching a CAT get his butt kicked by  a PANDA, but as this is the second panda this year to be named “Po,” isn’t that enough?  What will happen to this panda when he gets repatriated to the panda ranch in China?  Do you know how much fun the other pandas are going to make of him?  Did you ever think of THAT?????  I mean, they could have named him something more dignified like, for instance, “Bob.”

Be the Bear!

A tribute to Peanuts, or, Mehitabel looks for work!

I was recently reading a collection of Peanuts cartoons from 1955- 1956.  On reading the endnotes, I discovered that yesterday, February 12, is the 11th anniversary of Charles Schulz’s death in 2000.  Re-reading those old comics, I was reminded of the debt that most contemporary cartoonists owe to Mr. Schulz.  Among the many personal obligations that I owe, is Lucy’s penchant for emphatic and confident mis-information, which has bestowed much on Bob T. Panda.  I’m sure there is much more, but I’d like to think that I might have at least one original thought in my head. I am eternally grateful.  And Mr. Schulz, if you’re watching from somewhere in the universe, I hope you are pleased with the generations of cartoonists you have inspired.  And one more thing, Be the Bear!

Will Mehitabel find a new job?  Will the panda kindergarten behave? Will there be cake?  For the answer to these questions and more, tune in again next week!
