Mehitabel eludes the panda kindergarten…but for how long?

Mehitabel's great escape....

We last saw Mehitabel being carried away as hostage to the panda kindergarten, who, in their own misguided way, were attempting to inspire people to sign on to the cartoon boss’s Kickstarter proposal.  Several people signed on, but not nearly enough.  Fortunately for Mehitabel, it distracted the panda kindergarten so that she could make an escape.  But this is no time to relax!  They are still after her!  Can Mehitabel outrun the panda kindergarten?  Will she reveal her hiding place after the insult of being called “Mr. Kitty?”  The saga continues.  4 days left to support this worthy project!

And now, to be completely serious….no, really.

Note: No cats were actually harmed during the making of this cartoon, although they definitely were offended.

 

Yes it’s true, I am not a cartoon panda (sorry if I’ve surprised or disappointed anyone)  and I really do have a Kickstarter project that still has a long way to meet my funding goals in only 7 days.  I usually don’t cross pollinate my blogs, or the different parts of my creative life, but I’m making an exception here.  Please check out my project at the following link.  Even if you can’t help, maybe the extra traffic will encourage the folks at Kickstarter to give me a little extra exposure, so please visit and recommend to your friends and readers, if you see fit.  Here’s the link:

We now return to our regular scheduled silliness.  You are all the Bears for following the Panda Chronicles.  It’s thanks to you all that I am about to reach 20,000 visits!  (or maybe my brother visited 20,000 times?)

You Say “Privacy Policy”, I Say “Panda Kindergarten”

Do we really think that the panda kindergarten has turned over a new leaf, made new year’s resolutions, or really made any attempt whatsoever to clean up their act?  Nah!  What fun would that be?

Why Should Babette Have All The Fun?

4 Replies

Mehitabel, Cat

Everyone (well, several people at any rate) had so much fun with their Babette de Panda paper dolls, that I thought I should continue with the other characters from Your Brain on Pandas.  Lest we not forget that originally, this cartoon was  The Cat’s Pajamas and starred Mehitabel and the late, unlamented MeeMeej, before those *###$^&%!!! pandas took over.  So for the next paper doll for you to cut out and take with you in your travels, we proudly present: Mehitabel!  I should note that we are not currently running a contest for the best photos, but we always are eager to see what our creations are up to when they get off on their own with their new friends!  Babette had so much fun on her travels, making friends all over the world, and we had almost as much fun seeing her photos!   I should also note, that although Babette seems to be the only panda who dresses up regularly, you should feel free to make clothes for the other characters or even color them in.  (In real life, Mehitabel is a calico!  I’m just too lazy to color her in after all the cross-hatching I do to draw the dark parts on a panda.)

Cats Rule!

30 days- 30 Pandas…day 2

2 Replies

I have to admit I get this little thrill when my days visitors edge (or zoom) past 24.  Thanks to all the new subscribers, past subscribers, current subscribers…

Mehitabel:  “Would you please just shut up and put another post up?”  OK, OK….

Here is day 2 of 30 days – 30 pandas.  It’s fun so far!

So, just to set everyone’s mind at ease, the panda on the lower right has a bottle of Bamboo Soda, and not a beer!  This is after all Po’s panda kindergarten classmates who are throwing a party in honor of his birthday.  The panda kindergarten is naughty enough without being drunk besides!

I was recently reading a new-ish book by one of my major influences in the humor genre.  I am of course, referring to Dave Barry.  That’s DAVE BARRY for all you search engines out there.  Heck he’s famous…he could spare a few readers who accidentally come here instead of DAVE BARRY’S website.  He is one of the few humor writers that no matter how many times I read his essays, I laugh so hard stuff shoots out my nose.  It is for this reason that I could never read his work on line, as I don’t want to ruin my computer keyboard.  When I used to fax my cartoons to my local picture framing shop, (note: this was before I had a blog or even a computer, and I had to follow all my friends around with large stacks of cartoons and demand that they read them before I would let them go about their day) my favorite story was when Catherine (my framer with the fax machine) told me milk squirted out her nose because she laughed so hard when she read one of my cartoons.  To quote DAVE BARRY, “I am not making this up.”  Sometime after that, they got rid of their fax machine (coincidence? You be the judge…) so I had to get a computer and start this blog.

Miss Demure Restraint was obviously paying attention and reading the entire post, ahem….not mentioning any names here…and noticed that in the section on 7 facts my readers may not know about me, I revealed that I am :

a) not a panda

and

b) not a boy panda

While technically these things are true, I hope you all will continue to indulge me as I write with the voice of my inner panda, who happens to be named “Bob”.  I don’t know how this happened. It just did, so let’s just go with that.  Besides, if a person says something that’s mean or kind of snotty or insulting, it is seen by some people as an example of bad behavior. But, if a panda says it,  “Hey! What’s the big deal.  He’s pretty smart for a panda!”

Being endangered means never having to say you’re sorry.

Panda Satire Made Easy

It’s not like it happens every day, but pretty often, someone wants to know where my ideas come from, or if I’m on medication and am I feeling particularly excitable right now.  Well, just to set your mind at rest, “they” tell me I’m not dangerous (at least not at the moment) and I do have a method to my madness in developing ideas for my cartoons.  So, I wrote this little cartoon to explain my thought process. (Or should I say “thought” process?)   Also, Mehitabel was getting downright testy over not being the star in most of the new cartoons.  Personally, she would just as well take the panda kindergarten to the pound and let some other poor soul adopt them.  Alas, poor Mehitabel.  This is just not to be.

Also, I’d like to welcome our new subscribers!  Having people enjoy these cartoons helps make life worth living.  (and to all my friends who have to at least pretend to say they are funny, thank you too.)
