Bob Throws His Bamboo into the Ring

Vote the Panda Party!

It had to happen.  Even with the trials and tribulations of controlling  (HA!) the panda kindergarten, Bob feels that he has no choice but to declare his candidacy  for President.  Of course, there are many questions to be answered.  Does he have to declare zoo panda rental fees in his financial disclosures?  Will Babette be his “first lady”?  Will the panda kindergarten obtain positions in his cabinet?  And what about his birth certificate from the San Diego Zoo?

You can declare your support for a panda in the White House (the first since the Nixon Pandas took up residence there in 1972) by acquiring a Bob T. Panda for President bumper sticker from www.cafepress.com/pandyland

Now, a portion of our meager profits will be donated to Pandas International (no, really, you can ask them!) to support real, actual pandas!  After all, our cartoon ceases to be funny if pandas go extinct!  So, you can skin 2 cats with one purchase, aiding real pandas and declaring your fed-up-ed-ness with politics as usual.  Buy stuff with pandas at Cafe Press Pandyland.  Pandas everywhere will appreciate it.

Be the Bear!

Time to start getting ready for the 2012 Olympics!

   

Oh Those Pandas!

In light of the upcoming 2012 Olympic games to take place in London this summer,  I thought I would occasionally bring you some highlights of Panda Olympics past. As you can see, the panda bobsled team (comprised of the 2010 panda kindergarten) had a few …um…problems.

Alas, Poor Twinkie…we will miss you……

cuppycakes, ode to a twinkie Cuppycakes are in the news once again!  This time, it’s not cuppycake confiscation, but the demise of an American institution…yes, those little packaged snack cakes that are alleged to have a shelf life of a million years, are on their way out!.  I suppose that it is no mystery why the maker of Twinkies and Wonderbread has filed for bankruptcy.  I can’t remember the last time I ate one.  But still….

the earliest appearance of the panda kindergarten

While the panda kindergarten rallies for the next attack on Bob and Mehitabel, I thought that folks who had discovered the Panda Chronicles more recently would enjoy seeing the kindergarteners in earlier, more innocent times.  Of course this was a different group of panda kindergarteners and perhaps they were better behaved in general.  It’s so hard to tell with pandas.

“In the future, everyone will be a panda for 15 minutes”

Pandy Warhol, Created by Rob S.

 

We recently came across this work of art, from the 1970’s, the era of “Pop Art” most exemplified by the late Andy Warhol.  What is not widely known, is that Andy had a younger brother named “Pandy” who was also an artist, as well as a panda (you can see that Andy’s coloring came from the panda side of the family, although not the general build)

While Andy Warhol claimed that “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes,”  his brother Pandy Warhol had a different philosphy.  His biographer, Rob S. uncovered this statement: “In the future, everyone will be a panda for 15 minutes.”

Seems like a no-brainer to us!

PS: For Rob’s contribution to the Panda Chronicles, he has earned a place on the Roll of Honor!  Congratulations Rob.  We knew we’d reel you in eventually.

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.
