Babette! The First Girlfriend Speaks!

What is a presidential campaign without a convention or two, and what is a convention without speeches?  A lot shorter and a lot …oh..all right. I’ll let Babette speak.

Sigh….

Of course, there will be small pandas in attendance.

Babette has ..um…toned her wardrobe down in honor of this important occasion.

Be the Bear!

Another self referential moment coming right up!

The Panda Chronicles is about to hit 42,000 visits!  Huzzah and thank you!  have a great weekend!

What happens in the panda kindergarten, STAYS in the panda kindergarten

Be the (naked) Bear!

It’s beginning to look a lot like pandas…..

I know that it is not even Halloweenie here at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire, but I thought you might like to know that our friends at Pandas International (real people supporting REALPandas) have selected one of my cartoons to grace their annual holiday card offering that you can get to send to all your many friends and relations, AND help pandas (real pandas, that is) at the same time!  How cool is that?

“why do I always get so kerfuffled when it comes to decorating for the holidays?”

Just think how happy your friends will when they open their mailbox and find an actual card from a real person instead of another bill or political announcement.  Pandas are standing by at Pandas International to take your call!

Thanks for Being the Bear!

Don’t look now, Babette, but Bee, (the Bear) is nipping at your heels.

One of the fun thing about making comics, is creating characters and their “back stories.”  Babette de Panda is actually not my invention at all, but she has come to the enchanted bamboo forest where she hangs out with Bob T., Mehitabel and  the panda kindergarten. By generous permission of her very good friend and confidant, Victory Schouten, (poet Laureate of Greenbank Farm, and co-owner of the Rob Schouten Gallery) Babette appears in my cartoons. I hope (and have reason to believe) that the in stories that she appears in, I have kept her character in tact, and had her act in ways that are consistent with what I know of her.

Sometimes I find myself just “going along for the ride” with the pandas and don’t always feel that I am in control of their actions, especially when the panda kindergarten is involved.

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

Recently a new panda showed up on my doorstep (or was that in my head?) and here is what I know about her.  She is a member of the incoming class in panda kindergarten, She is a little shy, but very precocious. Oh, and she likes to dress up like a bee.  And now, she has insinuated herself into an island business, Eddy’s on Whidbey, where she will start appearing on tee-shirts and other things.  She is just buzzing with excitement.  She also has a poster already and that is more than Babette can say. (and don’t think I haven’t gotten an earful on THAT matter!)

I hope you will give a warm welcome to:

Bee, the Bear

Oh no, not again….

For all those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Panda Chronicles Book 1: Your Brain on Pandas in your mailbox, we’ve had another slight setback. Those who are following along on my Kickstarter project may remember that when I got my proof copy of the book, all the left-hand pages were printed sideways.  So I spent some time on the phone with a helpful person who said they could fix the problem, not my fault and all that, and they would send me another proof.

So they did, and guess what? The left-hand pages of THIS book were printed sideways.

sigh…..

Back to the phones once again.  I really hope that they can fix it this time….I am one unhappy bear.  And now, here’s one of my adventures from:

LITERATURE…OF THE…PANDAS!!!

so what’s the big deal…

…about punctuation?

Waiting, waiting, waiting……

I was out of the the den…um… office

Sorry to be so lax in creating new cartoons! I was attending top secret high level meetings among the panda-ratti in Washington DC last week and so my campaign for Panda in Chief is seriously behind schedule.  Never fear!  I’ve been writing, if not drawing story lines for the new cartoons which I will get on immediately (well, later today, anyway)

To whet your appetite for the upcoming Panda-dential campaign, here are the first of the panda debates from the panda-primary to see what panda would represent us in the general election.

Is it really all black and white?

 

Till next time!

Be the Bear!

In honor of Peanuts’ 62nd (?) anniversary

We are away from the panda den right at the moment, but the panda kindergarten…um…”borrowed” someone’s laptop so that they could post this tribute to Peanuts, the comic strip of Bob’s cubhood.

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

And by the way, the Kerfuffles Marshmallow project is in their final 12 hours!  Check ’em out at Kickstarter while there is still time to get in on the fluffy goodness!
