Beware the Ides of December…
It is day 15 of the 31 days of pandas. The nation mourns the terrible tragedy that happened at a Connecticut elementary school yesterday, and those of us in the humor fields are no exception. Darby Conley of “Get Fuzzy” fame did a heartfelt, but still in character, drawing of his lead characters. It really got the message across. Here is my contribution.
Hope it helps a little…
Loss and lamentations….
Hope you hug your inner panda today, not to mention everyone you love.

It was the 14th day of December…..
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!

Day 13 of 31 days of pandas…kind of symmetrical, don’t you think?
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!

Lucky Day 11…who knows what….
ILLICIT cuppycake distribution is happening on the street? If young pandas can’t get cake at home, who knows where they will turn!
Legalize cake today! Prevent illicit cuppycake activities.
:o)

Number 9….number 9….number 9…..
Close only counts in horseshoes and it is still December 9th here in the Pacific Time Zone! Keeping with the theme of “Thirty Six Views” where Mt. Fuji sometimes appears very small in the distance, here the cake exists only as a reflection.
Ta-da!
I see….cake.

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!”

Who says you can’t learn something from pandas?
Lucky Seven! a feature length cartoon, for your viewing pleasure.
As you know, I am particularly fond of “making it up as I go” and the “planning” for 31 days of pandas is no exceptions. So the panda and cake theme will continue tomorrow (while I narrow down the choices for a non-contoversial “F” word). I had already decided that at least one day a week I would post a full (NEW!) cartoon, starring the full Panda Chronicles cast, including Mehitabel, of course!
The idea for this cartoon is rooted in reality, as while on a recent trip, I was watching TV while following the news of Hurricane Sandy and the last days of the presidential election. A 5 second clip of panda toddlers at one of the panda ranches flashed on the screen, and I spent the next…um..well a while… waiting for the pandas to return…
Sigh….they never did.
It is a very good thing I don’t have regular access to television!
