You can lead a horse to water, or as Dorothy Parker once said, You can lead a…oh well, um…never mind about that. Bob has decided to hold some cultural events for the panda kindergarten, in hopes of civilizing them a bit.
Ha ha.
I will…be…the cake. I love poetry, don’t you?
Be the …cake!

What with all the attention Princess Pinky has been getting in this cartoon, the Atlanta Twinkies feel they have been slighted. get in line behind Mr. Wu, fellas. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Today, however, is Pinky-less. apologies to her fans.
Me me me! Gimmeee!
Be the Bear!

Now, there was something that I was going to use one of my cartoons to illustrate, but darn if I can remember!
Maybe it was related to writing my Pandafesto, Letting Loose the Bears: The Panda Chronicles guide to Embracing your Inner Panda. Oh yeah. I think that was it!

One the one paw, I love it when we go back to daylight losing time, because it means I get to sleep an extra hour Sunday morning before I go off to my yoga for pandas class. But, on the other paw, it means that while it was kind of not completely, but almost dark by 6:30 in the evening, now it will be dark at 3 PM. Okay, not instantly, but soon.
But the time change (for those of us who do this twice a year) gives me the opportunity to run one of my all time favorite ‘toons again! Huzzah!
Now I must be off to start writing my Pandifesto, Letting Loose the Bears: The Panda Chronicle’s guide to Embracing Your Inner Panda.
Be the Bear!

Woo hoo! Okay, there a few other elements to the government shutdown that were really bad for the national and world economies, but shutting down the National Zoo panda cam was the final straw. Princess Pinky must be able to address her people, people!
So, in celebration of full access to all pandas everywhere, we bring you several of our all time favorite panda ‘toons for your quick while the boss is out of the office Friday entertainment.
Well, that’s it for this week! Be sure to tune in next week when Princess Pinky returns and we continue with Mr. Wu’s adventure! And remember, buying my books supports the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, which draws and publishes these cartoons for everyone’s enjoyment of this blog! (kinda like National Panda Radio, you know?)
Have a great weekend! Be the Bear.

Despite the fact that the weather has been marvelous, a cool but sunny typical Northwest fall, The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire never rests, knowing how much you depend on your weekly doses of panda satire. In other words, there is no shutdown going on here!
Meanwhile in Atlanta, next week is the naming ceremony for the panda twins born this July. I’m guessing my suggestion of “Bert and Ernie” has not been given the full consideration it deserves. Go figure.
Tune in on Wednesday, when Mr Wu resumes his new adventure!
Be the Bear,

…we bring you a new cartoon about none other than the panda kindergarten! Huzzah! We promise that Princess Pinky will be making occasional appearances on Mini Mei Monday, but she is still too young to have a whole day every week all to herself. (“no! i isn’t!”)

Varooooooomba! Thanks to Lynnie Ness for alerting us to the “off label” use of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.
And yes! we have released the third volume of the collected cartoons of the Panda Chronicles! Huzzah! Book 3 is titled: Nobody Expects the Panda Kindergarten! The wind may howl and rain may fall, but it won’t keep the panda kindergarten from their appointed rounds! This (and all the other books in the series) are available through Amazon and you can find them by following either the link in the right hand column, with the colorful cover, or by going to the page titled “The Panda Chronicles: The Book(s)” at the top of this page. It’s not too early to get copies for holiday presents!
Meanwhile, Mr. Wu will return on Wednesday with the next episode of his adventure in the Wizard of Wu. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!
Till then, Be the Bear!

Oh my ears and whiskers! Mr. Wu is in for it now! But let’s give you a re-cap of the first episodes of Mr. Wu’s newest adventure…
And now, the latest episode:
This is getting kinda scary, (but very ‘citing!)
