Let Us Eat Cake!!!!! (or, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!!)

I hope we are making up for our lack of cartoons today! Our local newspaper holds an annual gingerbread house competition, for which Mehitabel and the pandas all got quite excited about.

Of course, when pandas are involved, the results can be somewhat unexpected.

What Pandas want for the Holidays

Ok, we admit that we haven’t done any new cartoons in WEEKS probably, but it gets so busy this time of year.  So, you’ll just have to put up with this look at postage. You remember postage, don’t you. You know, you write a letter…. a what did you say?  You know…well, anyway, you write a letter, put it in an envelope and then put a stamp on it and eventually it gets somewhere else. pretty nifty, huh?   I guess pandas are naturally luddites.  It’s part of what makes us so charming.

We want to send out a big pandy hug to our friend Henry, who doesn’t have anymore reason to think about pandas now that he’s done with his book.  You can still watch us on youtube. I’m sure it will cheer you up.

When Cake is Outlawed, Only Pandas will Have Cake

A recent youtube video shows one of the San Diego Pandas having cake! I would post it here, but I don’t know how to do that sort of thing. People don’t realize how hard it is to type with big furry paws.  Anyway, I think it is listed as “Panda Birthday Cake” and shows one small panda’s dedication to the concept of “Cake!”

It’s beginning to look a lot like PANDAS!!!!!!

Well we have been busy little bears, traveling to meet with our black bear brothers and sisters in the Yosemite Valley!  The folks that run the park are making it hard for a bear to make a living. They request that all cars are emptied of food especially at night, so that marauding gangs of bears (chanting “Be the Bear! Be the Bear!” as they run through the car park) aren’t enticed to be bad bears and break into cars, eating twinkies, moving the seats and changing the preset buttons on the radios!  But we bears get so tired of eating just what is good for us, don’t ya know? What I wouldn’t give for a donut just now…..Sigh.

PS: I’ll try to be more regular with new cartoons now that I’m back home.

Lun Lun Does it Again!

Pandas everywhere are rejoicing!  A new baby panda was born at the Atlanta Georgia Zoo!  Thanks to the dedicated and diligent panda-philes at Panda News, we are alerted to a new  US Panda! (China has taken note and the increased rental bill is in the mail!)  What is of great excitement to all of us at Way Better Than Working, is that this panda is a SCORPIO, which is very unusual for pandas, most pandas being of the Leo or Virgo persuasion.   We at WBTW are in the midst of OUR birthday season, so of course we are extra excited!  What a great occasion for Cake!

Tis the Season

In thinking about election season, a few things have stuck in my brain.  The main one  is, do all these signs actually change anyone’s mind about who they are going to vote for?  I for one, would be more inclined to vote for someone who pledged NOT to put up a bunch of signs, or at the very least, pledged that they would take all those signs DOWN the day after the election.  Most of the signs and ads remind of the 2008 panda kindergarten class running around yelling nonsense and insults at each other, to absolutely NO effect.  Noise for the sake of noise.

pass the donuts.
