OMG it’s Fabulous Furry Friday

Well, here it is, Friday at last and I completely forgot to have something ready to speed you to your weekend, with dreams of pandas dancing in your brain. What was I thinking? To be honest, the cold that wouldn’t die is still making my head a little fuzzier than usual, but fortunately, there are many pandas in reserve!

But I do like the Friday pandas to be relevant, so today I give you the prologue to the Shakesbear pandas, as I am getting ready (finally!) to start working on some of the Shakespeare for Pandas plays that my brother wrote last year as part of a 31 plays in 31 days project.

Shakespeare is currently on my mind, because Whidbey Island’s very own Island Shakespeare Company is getting ready to launch a very exciting project. Stay tuned for news of this exciting development!

After all, the playings the thing….

The panda kindergarten will, of course, have a central role in the proceedings!

Have a wonderful weekend and Be the Bear!

Woo hoo! More Pandas (and Cats!) for Launch week of Book 2 of the Panda Chronicles!

As I noted yesterday, I am humbled and pleased by the wonderful reviews that some of YOU, panda satire fans extraordinaire, have shared on Amazon. I admit (like most authors, even those who aren’t pandas) to having a love /hate relationship with Amazon. I adore my local bookshop, Moonraker Books, in beautiful downtown Langley, and do 99% of my book buying there. But, Langley is a small town, and if I want to achieve WORLD PANDA SATIRE DOMINATION, not to mention encourage the MacArthur Foundation to add Panda Satire to their list of supported genres, well, we have to take our pandas on the road, as it were.

I hope you will add your voice to those who have already stepped up and said, “Yes! We love panda satire! Be the Bear! Where are the cuppycakes?” Thanks!

Also, I’ve been around and about on the Internet, this time writing a guest post for the fabulous blog, Cordelia Calls it Quits. I love Cordelia’s posts, which speak to my inner panda (also she has a thing for pandas as well, so, I was thrilled to be asked to write something for her. Check it out here!

And now, will Mehitabel escape from the panda kindergarten?

Run,kitty, run!

Don’t forget! It’s launch week here at The Panda Chronicles and you can still use this code

Oh yes, it IS Mr Wu Wednesday!

Would we even consider getting out of bed on Wednesdays, were it not for Mr. Wu? We would not! Who would think that such a small panda could capture so many hearts? Heck, I’d kiss him if his mother was nowhere around. While at the panda convention, which took place on Mr Wu’s home turf, the San Diego Zoo, one of the panda staff suggested that Yun Zi, Mr Wu’s resident big brother, is your typical teenager. Another of our pandateers suggested that perhaps he would ride a skateboard and have an affinity for video games. At least he doesn’t wear his pants hanging down.

Oh, wait. he doesn’t wear pants…he’s a panda.

It is so hard for a small panda to prevail….

Hey! It’s still launch week! Do you have your copy of The Panda Chronicles Book 2:Wheel…of…Pandas! yet?

Be the Bear!

I wanted to send out a quick thank you to all of you who have written a review on Amazon! I blush to read them (are they really talking about MOI???) Heck! they’d inspire me to buy these books! Thanks to you all for reading my cartoons, liking my cartoons and being the bears! Huzzah! And if you haven’t written a (favorable) review yet on Amazon, what the heck are you waiting for – the panda kindergarten to come to your house and …um…”touch” your stuff?

It’s Monday and there is no new cartoon…..

…but I have a very good excuse! I was at the San Diego Zoo Pandamonium Convention, where pandas from several countries all came together to discuss issues that are affecting pandas. Sort of a Panda World Domination Summit, you might say. Needless to say, there were cuppycakes (and quite good ones too!) and a wonderful time was had by all.

So that I don’t leave your Monday panda-less, here is one of my favorite cartoons (and it’s in Book 2 of The Panda Chronicles: Wheel…of…Pandas!, which is scheduled for release on April 1st, and that’s no foolin’ !)

Will Mehitabel ever free herself of pandas? Stay tuned!

And because I’m just “that kind of bear,” here is another cartoon that appears in the book. I’m hoping that someone will right this terrible wrong before the next round of MacArthur Fellowships:

Why IS there no MacArthur Fellowship for Panda Satire, anyway?

Stay tuned for the debut of The Panda Chronicles Book 2: Wheel…of…PANDAS! with special launch week discounts for faithul followers of The Panda Chronicles! We will also reveal (on Mr Wu Wednesday) some of the stuff we learned at the Panda Convention! (And we will print the transcript of the stirring keynote address, delivered by Mr. Wu himself, about being the youngest member of the great San Diego Panda Dynasty! There wasn’t a dry eye in the house!)

Furry Friday, coming to you on Thursday this week only!

It’s a Windy Wu’sday, as Mr Wu prepares to greet his Panda Fans! Huzzah!

Up here in the panda-less Pacific Northwest, one thing we are never short of are wind and rain. OK, that was two things, but they do kind of go together! Although, right now, we are having wind and SUN! But I bet you wish I would quit blathering about the weather, and get the latest cartoon from Mr Wu up on this site.

OK, OK, here it is!

Don’t you love “rear shots” of baby pandas?

And don’t forget, Book 2 of The Panda Chronicles is about to be released! Stay tuned on this very page or follow us on twitter @pandachronicle and now you can like us on facebook on Bob The Panda‘s newly remodeled page. Woot woot huzzah! Huzzah!

Wuoops! Hold on to that panda!

Mr. Wu is growing up, and if last weeks videos have shown us anything, it’s that Mr. Wu has a lot of potential to be a fully contributing member of the panda kindergarten. Never before have I seen a panda cub get a horsie ride from mom!

Oh that panda kindergarten!

Be the Bear!
