And Now, The Panda Kindergarten’s Tribute to the Year of the Dragon

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.

Be the Bear!

There is no amount of procrastination that can’t wait until tomorrow…..

Recently TWO generous (and, may I say astute?) readers of The Panda Chronicles have bestowed the Versatile Blogger Award on me, and I have been MOST negligent in fulfilling all the requirements of the office.  I really have no excuse, other than that I have been busy drawing new panda cartoons, and the panda kindergarten hid my laptop.  I think they have been watching panda videos on YouTube and then used the power cord to tie Bob up in the basement.

According to the rules of the Versatile Blogger Award, I must:

  1.  Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post.
  2.  Share 7 things about yourself.
  3.  Pass this award along to seven others.
  4.  Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.

Right now I have two different people to thank and do all the other stuff, so I am going to multitask and combine these two award.  What are you going to do? take it back?  First I need to thank hungry4momos at http://stowawaytrain.com/2011/12/28/the-versatile-blogger-award-merry-christmas-to-me/ because, well, she nominated me first.  And then, before I even finished all this WORK I now had to do, Then The Rubbe at http://therubbe.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/were-famous/ went and gave it to me AGAIN.

Ok, so…thanks.  Don’t do it again. (Just kidding…It’s kind of like being prom queen, except I don’t have to wear a dress.)  ( Now could someone give me “The Humorous Blogger Award?”)

My favorite part is coming up with 7 things that people might not know about me, so here goes:

1.  I like to watch movies where lots of things blow up, usually after a very destructive car chase.

2.  Mehitabel is a real, actual cat.  She REALLY doesn’t like pandas.

3.  The panda kindergarten is the expression of my deepest, inner self.

4.  I have actually seen “the Nixon Pandas”  (look it up).

5.  In addition to cuppycakes, I am particularly fond of those little pink and white frosted animal crackers.

6. I do “voice overs” when watching panda videos, where I do dramatic presentations of what I think the pandas are saying.

7.  I am not really a panda.

In the interest of further procrastination, I will nominate my versatile bloggees um…later.  OK?

Well, you read this far, you should get a cartoon, so here it is!

Well, it is an election year!

Be the Bear!

Really, I am going to get the panda kindergarten to behave better…well maybe tomorrow

this old den 2nd episode

I don’t know what to tell you.  The panda kindergarten swore to me that if I let them be in another cartoon, they would behave better.  What can I say?

A New Year in Panda Kindergarten! Resolutions? Um….nope.

Welcome to the 2012 Panda Chronicles, bringing new cartoons to you !  I hope I can have 2 or 3 new cartoons for you every week, but maybe I’m just dreaming.  Anyway here IS a brand new cartoon, starring the panda kindergarten!  It is inspired by one of my other favorite bear satirists, Misery Bear!

Um…it’s just maybe possible that Misery Bear is NOT the best role model for the panda kindergarten.  We will work on that.

But wait, there’s more!

I don’t know how I forgot to mention Judy H.V.W. in our post contest wrap up.  Could it be because she introduced Miss Babette to the infamous Claude Pandet?  Well, she did send a couple early photos of Babette as she started her around the world journey, so we’ll let bygones be bygones. So, a tip of the bamboo to Judy as well.

And now we have another Roll of Honor inductee to mention.  Sharen H. of Whidbey Island is known far and wide as the founding member of the Stuffy Panda Rescue Foundation, which is now affiliated with the Hospital for Indigent Pandas, which of course is, in turn, founded by Babette de Panda!  Sharen has single handedly rescued over 5 stuffy pandas to date, placing them in appropriate, loving homes.  Be the Bear, Sharen!  She has also personally adopted 2 of the stuffy pandas and I’m sure her husband will be happy to welcome many more.  Take it from me, 2 is just the beginning!

Tune in tomorrow, when we see one of the dangers of unrestricted internet access for the panda kindergarten.  Can you say “Misery Bear”?????

It’s New Year’s Eve, and Not a Panda Was Stirring…oh well, except for the Panda Kindergarten

Faithful reader and noted Roll of Honor awardee (as well as a member of the esteemed Panda Satire Fraternity) Bruce S. suggested that maybe the panda kindergarten might have a New Year’s Eve party, and also that lampshades and panda print boxer shorts may possibly be involved.  Well, I can tell you, that here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we are more than ready to act on any ridiculous ideas that you put forth.  Sometimes we even give you credit.

Don’t get too wild tonight, because the Tournament of Pandas Parade starts…well not bright and early, but hopefully before noon, Pacific standard time.

Be da Bear!
