Here are the next two panels of the Italian panda saga. Sorry to be so slow, but there is a little bit of other work that I must do. Sigh…a pandas work is never done. A thanks in advance to Bob’s fezbook friends with excellent suggestions for panda kindergarten mayhem and mischief. Huzzah!

Yes, I’ve got the pens refilled and fired up, ready to start on the chronicles of the panda kindergarten‘s trip to Italy. I can tell you right now, that over 1000 years of civilization is no match for the panda kindergarten. Rather than make you wait till the series is completely done, I will post the panels as I do them, which has it’s up and downsides. (waiting versus cliffhangers, don’t cha know) So, hold on to your cannolis and get ready to follow the pandy kindy to sunny olde Italy!
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of the Italian Adventure, starring the panda kindergarten!

Silly me, I forgot to post the official Roll of Honor graphic when I awarded Lee her membership, but I also need to post this AGAIN for repeat Roll of Honor member Sharen H., for her work as the lead team member of the Stuffy Panda Rescue Foundation. Sharen has once again plucked a poor, lonesome stuffy panda from a life of squalor and degradation and delivered him to the Stuffy Panda Rehabilitation Center at the Hospital for Indigent Pandas, which was, of course, founded by the lovely Babette de Panda. He has already made friends with the other stuffy pandas and I know he’ll be very happy here.
Tomorrow I will post the first installment of an extended cartoon story, The Panda Kindergarten’s Italian Adventure! Huzzah!
Till tomorrow,
Be the Bear!

It has come to my attention via a faithful reader, that there was a shooting tragedy in a Seattle coffee shop in the past week or so. She suggested that I pull this cartoon and at first I agreed, but then I had another thought (which is probably NOT a good thing, as I am sleep deprived and extremely jet lagged, having just returned from foreign lands.)
Throughout cartooning history, cartoonists have walked a very fine line between commenting through satire and just being in extremely bad taste. It’s what we do to make sense of the world around us and sometimes the “funny” is overpowered by well, powerful sentiments. (As evidenced by death threats against cartoonists.) This cartoon was originally drawn in protest of open gun carrying policies and through the absurdity of an over caffeinated cat with a gun, show that maybe, just maybe, carrying weapons in public is just a bad idea. So, I’m going to let this cartoon stand, with deepest apologies to anyone who has ever had to deal with the aftermath of violence. Big pandy hug.
Just a quick note to let you all know that I and the panda kindergarten have returned from our “cultural enrichment excursion” to Italy and Holland. All rumors of Interpol involvement and international crimes against property and good taste have been vastly exaggerated. In any case, the panda kindergarten would like to apologize (yes they WOULD…NO BACK TALK) for any unintended “mishaps” that may have occurred as a result of “cultural misunderstandings.”
Until we have time to start drawing the saga of the pandas in Italy, here is a classic offering from the Panda Chronicles to keep you amused.
What could be more Italian than espresso?

While the panda kindergarten deals with the fallout from the (slightly) premature selling of the Olympic torch, Pandyland Security is preparing to stand guard at the Olympic games. We thought you could use a reminder of this well disciplined task force.
Keeping you safe from evil cuppycakes….

Once again, a story has come across the airwaves that is just ripe for panda satire. And, as you know, we at the Institute for Contemporary Panda Satire can NEVER resist such a good story. It just makes me proud to be a cartoonist. The story of former Olympic torch bearers selling their torches on Ebay is one such story. Believe me, I am NOT making this up.
It’s all in the timing…..

Well, the torch bears are at it again. Will they reach the Olympic Games in London in time? And what does dinosaur flatulence have to do with pandas? Tune in and see…..
Never underestimate the power of a good “fart joke”
Frommage, indeed!

Dear Ms. Mehitabel,
Thank you for your recent letter. If you would be so kind as to consult your instruction manual, you would see that the sequence of connecting the plugs must be in a precise order, or the interface will not combobulate. We hope that this clears up any misunderstandings about the warranty on your specific product.
Sincerely,
The customer service panda

Dear Mr. Panda,
I most certainly did not write to complain about a product that I might (and did NOT) purchase from The Panda Chronicles. In fact, I would never buy anything from a company that:
A) Uses such terrible grammar; and
B) Can not direct complaint letters to the correct department.
Please be advised that I am forthwith canceling my subscription to The Panda Chronicles and request a refund for any issues not received.
Sincerely,
Mehitabel the Cat.
Dear mizz cat,
We hardly think it is our responsibility if purchasers REFUSE to read the instrucktion manual. we think you should take our product and wear it on your head as a hat.
So there,
The panda kindergarten Panda Chronicles service department.
