Welcome to Day 6 of 31 Days of Pandas! Quick! I must make my…

ESCAPE!!!!!!  Yes, today’s panda word is Escape!  While I’m diligently searching for an “F” word that I can use in polite company, tomorrow’s pandas will bring you a full on cartoon (with the lovely and charming Mehitabel!) as well as ..um…pandas!

and now…

Ta-da!

Escape!  Come with me, little cake, so we can be alone together.

By the way, for fans of little Mr. Wu, he will be back soon!  His mother thought that the panda kindergarten overstepped a few boundaries when they …um…baby sat with him during the letter “C” and that perhaps he should be just a little bigger before she let’s him play with the Pandy Kindy again.

Day One of 31 days of Pandas! Huzzah!!!!!!

Well despite the fact that I was at my first book launch party ever, put on by those fine folks at The Rob Schouten Gallery, I came home and got to work finishing my first cartoon of 31 days of Pandas!   It is a “kinder and gentler” cartoon than usually appears on these pages, but I have been spending…um..a bit of time (do NOT ask how much time, because I’d probably lie about it) watching the newest San Diego Zoo Panda cub, who has just turned 4 months old this week.

This little guy has his picture in the dictionary, as an illustration of the word cute, so how could I not give him his own feature cartoon?  So, without further ado, here’s Little Mr. Wu!

"Howdy do!  I'm Mr. Wu!  Who are you?"

“Howdy do! I’m Mr. Wu! Who are you?”

Be the (incredibly cute) Bear!

PS: if anyone asks, I did NOT eat ALL the cuppycakes at the book launch party, OK?

The last re-run before 31 days of pandas starts…..a triple header! Huzzah!

Hmmmm….now what is my favorite cartoon from the past year or so?   Could it be:

Bears are on the ball!

Bears are on the ball!

or maybe it is this one….

new years eve party, panda kindergarten

The panda kindergarten at their best…or is that their worst?

 

Or perhaps it is THIS one…

Any who,  stay tuned for 31 new pandas in 31 days…can she do it? Will the rapidographs clog up? Run out of ink?  Where will all those pandas sleep? And what if we run out of cuppycakes?

Hope to see any of you in the Whidbey Island vicinity at the Rob Schouten Gallery tomorrow or Moonraker Books on December 9th!  Celebrate the release of The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas!!!!

Be the Bear!

I think there needs to be some sort of “panda a day” thing for December, don’t you?

You are probably not aware of it, but did you know that December is the month of the Panda?  Right now you are thinking, she’s making this up…I just KNOW it!  And, um…you might be right.  But if it isn’t really the month of the panda, don’t you think it should be?

So here is my December challenge to myself:  To post a drawing of at least one panda per day during the entire month of December.  It has to be a NEW drawing or cartoon…no cheating by posting a re-run.  It can be a single panda, or it can be a “cartoon in progress.”  I haven’t yet decided if it should be one big drawing like the 30 days of pandas drawing last year….well, I have until tomorrow to figure it out.

What could be more fun than a car full of pandas?

Meanwhile, my work table is overflowing with books to be sent to all my Kickstarter supporters, and my plan is to have them all mailed or delivered before the end of next week.  Huzzah!  Then I can get back to painting and doing the 31 panda drawings that I just committed myself to.  (The pandas made me do it!)

Time to climb aboard the panda car!

A new cartoon! Powered by Cuppycakes!

…Or Twinkies to be more precise.  I couldn’t let a news story like the one about the impending bankruptcy of Hostess go un-satirized, now could I?

Bob, Bob, Bob…when will you ever learn?

Do you think I should get the panda kindergarten to help with packing books?  Nah…I didn’t think so either.  If you are in the neighborhood of Whidbey Island WA, there will be two opportunities to meet Bob T. Panda and get your copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas.  Saturday December 1st from 1-4 at the Rob Schouten Gallery in Greenbank, and Sunday December 9th at Moonraker Books in Langley.

Bob T. Panda wants YOU……

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!
