Well what do you know! we have won the Versatile Blogger Award….Again! Pandas are so popular!  What can I say? Many thanks to Clare of

Hooray!

Bob is a bear of many words, as you can see.  He will try to fulfill all his other duties as a versatile blogger awardee before the clock strikes midnight on the 31st.  But first and foremost, thanks to Clare who has seen wisdom (OK, I know I’m stretching it here) and humor in our humble little blog.

But before we go, here is yet another  photo of Babette in her around the globe jaunt.  She is currently traveling with her very good friend Lucilla in Cambodia! (and remember, Lucilla, you will be VERY sorry of you give Babette access to your credit cards.  She is a bear with no restraint when it comes to shopping!)

Till next time, when we reveal:

Panda-ing Down Memory Lane….

We continue with our Year in Review, because, quite frankly, we got up on the wrong side of the den this year, and we are feeling a bit like those bears that hibernate really have the right idea.  We could just go to sleep for a while, and when we got up, it would be spring, and maybe we would be in a better mood than we are now. so, to cheer ourselves up a little, here are some more of our favorites from 2011!

That one was inspired by some of my favorite videos of the year, of panda kindergarteners on plastic rocking horses. A definite mood enhancer!

And how could we have resisted the story of Mei Lan, the first born panda of Zoo Atlanta , who, it was discovered when she was 5 years old, that she was a he!

See you tomorrow, in a better mood, we hope.

Bob’s Year in Review!

Leave a reply

This is the time of year that we cleverly slack off creating any new material, (though in our defense, we probably drew more new cartoons this year than the last 2) and show some of our favorites in a lame, but effective, “year in review” format!  But don’t worry, we have new cartoons in the works that will start appearing in 2012!  The really great thing about  a lousy economy is that I need to cheer myself up with extra panda satirizing. Everybody wins!

Here’s one of my favorite cartoons of the year, starring the panda kindergarten, of course!

Halloween pandas

I especially like the little panda that uses toilet paper to make a mummy costume, but hey, that’s just the way I am!

And what would this year be without the introduction of Babette de Panda, panda child of Victory Schouten.  In Babette’s cartoon persona, she has learned much from her mentor and great Muppet friend, Miss Piggy.

And of course, our 30 Pandas in 30 Days feature for the month of November! (Still available as a poster from Pandyland at Cafe Press!)

See you for more Year in Review tomorrow!

the panda chronicles

Those who know me, know that my stance on housekeeping is unfortunately more like Bob’s than like Mehitabel’s.  Even so, I am addicted to shows on decorating on HGTV (or would be if I had a TV….good thing I don’t) and used to watch “This Old House” when Bob (!) Vila was the host.  I thought that this would be an excellent theme to harvest a few cartoons from before people run away screaming.

By the way, you still have time to enter the “Dress up Babette de Panda and photograph her somewhere” contest.  Go to the December 2nd post to get your printable Babette de Panda paper doll and her first outfit.  There are 3 more outfits that have been featured here in the past few weeks, or make your own outfit for Babette!  Post your pictures on Bob T. Panda’s Facebook page! Win valuable prizes!

It’s That Time of Year Again…..

2 Replies

Did I mean holiday time? Noooooooo!  I meant the time of year when I congratulate myself on how funny I am and pick out my favorite cartoon of the past year.  I’t’s really kind of difficult this year, because I’ve been sooooooooo funny, and done more cartoons than I have in year’s past.  The panda kindergarten has pushed their way in and taken a much bigger role, and the introduction of Babette de Panda has changed the dynamic in the panda-sphere.  So, here is my favorite cartoon storyline for the year.  I’d love to hear what your favorite is. No really.  I’m listening.

I’d also like to mention that this is my 200th post!  Hurrah!

We have been waiting for this day for so long, (never mind that in the real world it happened a week ago, but still…) the pandas arrive in Scotland.  The ZooNooz reporting team would have been there to meet them, but for a slight communications mix up.

A big thanks to all of you who have been visiting The Panda Chronicles.  Your brain is officially now on pandas.
