Monday, Monday! Please go away!

Just in case you were wondering, here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, we really hate Monday mornings. Why? because we have to get out of our nice cozy den and go to work. Not to mention that it is 40 degrees and raining. On the other hand, we get to bring you the latest in Panda Satire, so it’s not all bad.

One of Bob’s most endearing qualities is his willingness to believe in the inherent goodness of the panda kindergarten.

Later this week we may have some extraordinary panda history news for you. I’m not going to tell you what it is, but if you know the connection between a New York dress designer, the Brookfield Zoo, and Taxis, you may have a clue to the subject of this news flash.

Bob Finally Concedes the Election…

12 Replies

We know, we know…the election has been over for months, but we were…um…busy, and besides, Babette de Panda insisted that the panda kindergarten be allowed to recount ALL the votes by..er..paw. Needless to say, votes were eaten, tummies needed to be um..waited on for “evacuation,” cuppycakes needed to be consumed. Sigh… nothing is ever easy around here. Meanwhile, Babette wants to know just what she is meant to do with all those conservative “first girlfriend outfits” that she bought (with Bob’s credit card) for her new role as our nation’s hostess du jour.

Well, three votes isn’t too bad, is it?

And from the tooting-our-own-horn department, it has come to my attention that there is a photo circulating around the internet that shows a congressperson with NASCAR-type stickers all over his suit. I’d like to point out that the original cartoon suggesting this came out a week ago, right here on The Panda Chronicles, so once again, Bob and all the pandas here at The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire have predicted humor trends once again.

In other Panda News, Young Master Wu, our nation’s youngest (and some might say cutest) panda is about to make his public debut at the San Diego Zoo tomorrow. We are sending the panda kindergarten to report on the story, so don’t forget to tune in next week to see their in-depth coverage of this event! I do hope they don’t get into any trouble!

Days 29 and 30….Well, I’ve done pretty good so far.

Around here we have a saying: “I just HATE my boss! she’s so MEAN!….oh wait, I’m self employed.” So no one busts my chops about not getting work done on time like I do. Glad you all are a little more lenient….um you are, aren’t you? No matter!

So today I have 2 (that’s TWO) cartoons for your panda enjoyment. I also am pleased to say I had several more ideas as I sat drawing these cartoons. Huzzah!

And I bet you are happy to see that Little Mr. Wu is safe and sound!

It’s a little funny to have an actual panda as a character in The Panda Chronicles, as many who follow pandas will worry if I let him get in too much trouble with the panda kindergarten, or be concerned for his safety. Rest assured, I would NEVER let anything happen to his cute Wu self.

Will Bob ever learn NOT to turn his back on the panda kindergarten? No, we didn’t think so, either.

Well, one more day in our 31 Days of Pandas special December Panda Party! Starting in January, we will attempt to publish on an actual schedule. After all, I need to get back to my preparations to publish Book 2 of the Panda Chronicles! It will be even more jam packed with pandas, cuppycakes, and general panda kindergarten mayhem. And yes Babette, you will be prominently featured in MANY cartoons. Now will you quit calling me and leaving..um…”messages” on my voice mail?

There is still another day and a half to take advantage of my $2 off offer on The Panda Chronicle Book 1:Your Brain on Pandas ordering from my create space e- store using this code:

Well, my scanner issues are solved for the moment, though it was not without wailing and gnashing of teeth…the solution is temporary and I think I will have to take my trusty desktop (still running tiger, tiger) but I can scan for now! Huzzah!

So, here are the last two days cartoons, scanned so you can see all that little fine rapidograph line work that makes my drawings so very …um…very.

Day 17…Naughty or Nice? you decide!

Babette, in her leading lady role in Wagner’s Cuppycake cycle

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, another peek into the den of Young Master Wu!!!!! Huzzah! (Oh I just love that panda to pieces!)

Mr. Wu figures out just WHY those so called “Dr. Examinations” happen!

And don’t forget, you have till December 31st to take advantage of $2 off the cover price of The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas by ordering through my Create Space e-store and using the code:

Today, as promised, there is a full, feature length cartoon for your panda-ing pleasure, but before we get to that, there is an announcement from our sponsor, The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire and Leaping Panda Press. (It is a very fun thing about the internet, that you can just declare you are something or someone, come up with some spiffy computer graphics and voila`! You are now The Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, and before you know it, everyone just accepts that as fact. Is this cool or what?)

As you probably know, the first collection of cartoons from the Panda Chronicles was just published and as faithful readers of the blog, you deserve a little something extra in your Christmas stockings. Until the 31st of December, you can now order The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas here and get a discount of $2 per copy by using this code:

Meanwhile, here is today’s feature length cartoon! Huzzah!

What do you MEAN I didn’t win?

And speaking of Kickstarter (wait, who was speaking of Kickstarter, There is a fun project with just under 48 hours to go from a fellow cartoonist who has created a dry erase refrigerate magnet comic strip, so you can write your own dialog. He has a last “stretch goal” and if he reaches it, he’ll make a bunch of his magnet cartoon strips to donate to Boston Children’s Hospital. What a good guy! Check out his project here!

What could be more appropriate to illustrate the letter “K” than KINDERGARTEN? And by that we mean, the PANDA Kindergarten, of course! Huzzah!

And is that young master Wu, as a new kindy-gartener? I do SO hope the rest of the P.K. don’t teach him any bad habits!

Stay tuned til tomorrow, with a NEW feature length cartoon!

On the Eight Ball…or at least the magic Eight Ball….

Those of you who have been following the pandas for a while know that I like to make the occasional “fine art” joke or reference and this series is no different. A few years ago I saw some of the prints by famed Japanese artist Hokusai that were part of the Thirty Six Views of Mt Fuji series, created between 1826 and 1833. French and American impressionists were very influenced by Japanese prints, so much so that French artist Henry Riviere created his series Thirty Six Views of the Eiffel Tower, which I also had the privilege to see at the same exhibition where I saw Hokusai’s prints.

But what the heck does this have to do with pandas and panda satire? I have decided to dedicate this series to those artists and call it:

Twenty six Views of Cake.

“Madame Babette sees all!: I see cake in my…er…your future!”

It must be some basic failing of mine that I get somewhat…um…obsessed by the stats on my blog…I know I’m not the only one.

According to WordPress, I now have 183 subscribers. Wouldn’t it be cool if there were 200 of you by the end of the year?

And then there is my new book!

Babette and Bee, the Bear have a “discussion”

WE at The Institute for Contemporary panda Satire would be ever so happy if you were to forward this link to a few of your humor loving friends and invite them to follow this blog. (Don’t send it to people with no sense of humor…I’m sure you know a few….they just won’t get it and then they will think you are insane and talk about you in the lunch room at work and once THAT sort of thing get’s started…it’s all downhill from there if you know what I mean. I mean, how do you think I ended up doing panda satire?)

I think you get my point….

You are the Bears! Stay tuned for some NEW cartoons this week! Huzzah!
